A good deal ofsuprize has been expressed by men
of all parties in this State, that Gen. r. M Sauu-
ders did not receive post in Mr.. Polk's Cabinet


This surprize was augmented, we haye no doubt,
oy the confident tone assumed by the Washington
manufacturers of rumor," previousto Mr. Polk's
arrival IN Washington, that Gen. S. was 10 be
made Postmaster General Our people, of all
parties, seem to reason in this way Mr.. Polk
owes his nomination and consequently mis- election
TO the 6rmness and sagacious mana cement of
Gen. Saunders in the Baltimore Convention ::
and, after securing hisnomination Gen. S. labored
as constantly and as .zealousIy 10 promote Mr.


Folks election as did any man in the Union. and
has talents and business habits that qualify him to
adorn any Office in the Cabinet. Why, then.
was ne Ieftout Some say, because he was sus.
pected OF being friendly to Mr.. Calhoun, and that
no man suspected Of such leaning in bis afec,
tons, can get Office under Polk We think those
who reason thus. are mistaken. We have no idea
that MIR. Polk will be governed in his admins
tration by any such unworthy promptines. We
presume be had good reasons for not tenderine
Gen. s. a Cabinet appointment, and that we Shall
soon see our friend rewarded with an Office eono-
y honorable, and more acceptable to him. We
think Mr.. Polk owes Gen. Saunders as heavy =
debt of gratitude as he owes to any other man in
the Union. MeekLen6Wrg JefeYsouian.
