Clarkson has no very exalted opinion pf his whig colemporaries in this State, and he evidently intended to see how bis a lie they could awallow! We were not surprised to see -the mall fry of the whig press greedily devour the baitso clumsily set for them, but lhat the State Journal should have ben caught with such a hook " more than we expected.

General MtCalla, Second Auditor. Edmund Burke, Commissioners bf Patents. William J. Brewn, Second Assistant PostMaster General; Mr. Marron, Third Assistant, and Mr. Hobbie, First Assistant.

The New Cabinet. The following nomination were yesterday made to the Senate, by the President of th United States: For Secretary of Stale John M. Clayton For Secretary of the Treasury Wm. Meredith For Secretary of War G. W. Crawford For Secretary of Navy Wm. B. Preston For Secretary of the Home

Department For Poslmarter General Thomas Ewing Jocob Collamer Reverdy Johnson For Attorney General inese nominations are understood not to have been acted upon yesterday, the Senate having adjourned sooa after receiving them. The above list U the same aa that we published yesterday, except that Mr. Ewinr la transferred to the Home Department, and Mr. Collamer, or Vermont, is selected for the Postoffice. Th. transfer of Mr. Ewing to the aew department, will give to the West an immediate representative in that branch of the government, with which iu loeal interests are ere especially concerned,-and, therefore, the transfer was wisely made. It was in some degree rendered necessary, too, as it was desirable to call Into the Cabinet another member of th present Congress, all ef whom were, by the Constitution, rendered ineligible to take the Home Department, the office having been we, ated "during the time for which they had bees elected,'1 whilst the Constitution declares, that "no Senator or Representative shall, dnrin; the time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil office under the authority of the United States, which shall have been created or. the emoluments whereof shall have been-increased. I during such time." This provision excluded Mr. Davis, of Massachusetts, and other members of Congress, who. had been mentioned for the Home DeppartmentK and as there was great propriety in giving theHome Secretary to the West, Mr. Ewing was wisely .elected for it, and Mr. Collamer called to the office of Post Master General. Mr. C. was a member of the late Congress, from Vermont, and had served six years consecutively, but declined a re-eleclioa at the recent election He is a native of Troy, (Neir York,) but his father moved with him early to Burlington, Vermont, where, at the University in that place , he graduated in 1610. He was a lieutenant in the war of 1812, and afterward, adopted the profession of the law. He is a man of talents, energy and industry, and will, we are sure, by tbe manner iu which Ve will &d minister the Post Office, show the wisdom which selected him for it. The Cabinet is now Complete; and we repeat, that better men could not have been called to lake seats in it, than are there now Balti 1 1 more Patriot. A Liberal Dmatiaau Rev. Charles Avery, of Allegheny City, baa given a lot worth several thousand dollars, and contracted for theereclion ofa building upon it at $13,000 for the benefit of the colored Wealeyan MethodieU.

DThe droll editor of the Yankee Blade thn. transcendently give, h fs reasons for not going to California: -"The reasons why we don't go to California are firstly, we dont want to go; secondly, we (ant go; thirdly, if we wasted to go we couldn't; fourthly, if we could go we wouldn't; fifthly, we don't know the way; and siith!y, we aint going.

He receives those who call, with great Liudnes, wilbal in suoh a republican style, as does honor to his head and heart. He ia a veneradle gentleman of the old school, unpretending and benevolent in manner, and "all who approach him are convinced of his honesty and sincerity.
