It appears to be settled that Mr.. Tyler will
nominate THOMAS w. GlLMER of Virginia for
Secretary of War, and WILLIAM WILKINS of Penn
sylvania for Secretary of the Navy. We hope he
will, and are confident that each will be confirmed
without material opposition. Mr.. Wilkins is ra-
ther thread bare politician having sustained
Jackson and Van Buren throughout, though pro-
Tossing an utterly hostile Political creed, and hav
ing been rewarded with the Russian Embassy for
his devotion. He has said that, however ne
may have changed on other subjects, nc has al
ways stood firm for a Protective Tariff, and
therefore we shall be glad to see him in the Cab
met, where Free Trade predomnates since the
withdrawal of Mr. Webster. Beside that, we
shall have good Wing elected in his stead, Civ
ing the Clay ball roll in Pennsylvania and else
where Ex-Gov. Gilmer is not great man, and
is opposed to us on every Political question, but
he is an advocate of Retrenchment, on which
account we shall gladly see him looking up the
sleeve of the Administrators disbursements
He will see sights to astonish him there, if
he looks closely and steadily enough or we are
mistaken Mr.. Goggin will get the seat that be-
longs to him in Mr.. G.'s stead, on the retirement
of that gentleman from Congress, which will be
another gain.


Mr.. WISE, too, has obtained q high Executive
appointment, by consent of the Senate and must
resign his seat in Congress, when another Wing
comes in to dead certainty. The country, in
our Judgment, will profit more by the loss of Mr..
Wise's services in Congress, than by gaining
them to its diplomacy.


Since this Congress assembled, there have been
two U. S. Senators and five Representatives elect
cd into it from FIVE different States-every man
of them Whigs-while in another district (east-
ern of Mainel the Wing candidate has worked
up from below to the head OF the polt Such
straws as these never sail against the wind Give
us new chance and reasonably fair districling,
and we could elect Wing Congress tomorrow,
Remember, Wings. that we have the next
House to carry against the most unfair and op-
pressve dstuctng in three -tourths of the States!
Not a man must be lost by apathy or dissenson


John Tyler will send in his nominations for
the great Offices now vacant early this week.
Gov Marcy is thought to have chance for the
Judgcship that Mr.. Spencer couldn't get, though
we think the odds are in favor of some .urist OF
the same Political school. We cannot hear that
any Wing has look for it.
