There is at this time much speculation as to who should, or who will be, ia ¢ binet of President Pieree from th's time-bonered Commonwealth. This, wo may suppose, is givon rise to by the frieuds of the different aspirants; but, on a calm considera- tion of the matter, who can doubt bat that R MW. T.

And yot it is believed that he wili, ashe should, de- clive the honor, if conferred This brings us to tho question as to who out of the Senate, from Virginia, would be the choice of Virginia; and that is an- sweredin the peme of him who would ruccord to the Senate in case Mr. Hanter should go iato the cubinet.

The Recent Gignificant Movement is the Senate, Relative to Cuba—What Does it Mean?—The Milk wn the Cocoanut. The movement mado in the Senate, a fow day Spo by Mr. Mason, of Virginia, in refation to thes part of the President's Message setting forth the advances mado vo this government by England and France, on tho rubject of Cubs, and the pesuliag part which Gener! Cass took in that movememt, havo created some wnsation bore. I suppose you want to know tho way it was dono, as well as the why of it? Without pomersing tho faculty of see irg through # mill-stono fucthor ‘han other folks, Toan take a squint through the cys ofthis Phe official report in the Globe, given the substance of tho remarks made by the Senators who participated in the discussion, which has been laid over until the 4th of January, when Mr. Waller will, probe- bly lead eff The question was sprung #0 unexpest- edly on the Genate, that everybody, except the tee movers in it, wore takom entirely by surprise, Ma. Mazon had evidently conferred only with Gsneral Cass, for his remarks were carefully prepared, aad 40 e000 hus he had consluded Guneral Cass took ou of his drawer his speech, which he bad carefully ous and dried there, and followed in support of Mr Mie #on’s movement, while astonishment sesmed the prevailing feeling among the other member, sone of whom appeared to be in the secret. From the opening of General Casy’s speech, any persoy at @ dirtance would imagine that he bad spoke on the spur of the moment, but the producsion of ¢! viously prepared manuscript, emtisfled all prosoutal the privity betwcon the main movers in this ma» ter Mr Woller, Mr Soulé, Mr. Gwin, Mr Dougles, and Mr Butler, all seemed surprised at the want of confidence implied in such ® mancuvre; the im portance of the movement being evidently such to authorize, at least, consultation with lesting members of the party. Their remarks, aa well athe checkmate given to Mr Mason's proposition te force @ vote, sufliciently prove. The raaning com- mentaries on the course adopted throw much light on this subject. Now you naturally will ask what does this mean? Let us attempt an interpretation. ‘There are those aucng the knowing ones bere, ia our political circles, who assign as & reason for the concert with which the movement seems to heve been prepared by the gentlemen who initiatod it, the gathering, at this moment, in tho neighhorheod of Boston of some of the most eminent mewubers of the democratic party, who aro to moet in coaadil, and to deliberate under the oyes and supervision of ibe Provident elect, on the clomeute out of watch i¢ might be proper to formaeehnos Lo ie barely posstble that Mr Mavon’s remarks in the Sa yesterday, may have been directed tow the deliberations in progroee by @ provlamution views, supposed to be la favor ia a bigh qtare ters. from epipions said to bave been intima possioly misapprebended — It is aso supposed toes General Cara, who hag resigned bis hopes of in the chair ef state, fiodiug bis own hy tue now saoerisined tendenctes of Goneru Piecos, us far a8 tho composition of the estviuet i+ a.0- | eerned, bas been induced to make a dem ooetration that might promote theslevatiouol Mr. Masoa to the Becretaryenip of Stale, even though tas goalemen wight vot be aware of the plans und parp ses of 48 coudjater, the probable contriver of cae wovemunk Gereral Cass may desire such » thivg, bat if be Bo recapitulate—who does not kaow “Right Mast Taheplece Bun er’ as & wan of great practieal com 4 sound disorimination!
