Percent Fierce^ Cabinet* As the public are naturally anxious io learn something of the history of the men whom President Pierce has selected members of his Cabinet, me give the following sketch of each, from lM .New York Herald: "t W SKCRETAHY OF STATR-^ ILLIAM JALNR** LARNED MARCY jVr Mr. Marcy is a native of Sturbrtdge, Worcester county, Massachuseets, where he wsfrborn, December 12, 1786 consequently be is now in his 67 year of his age. Having completed his academic course, he entered Drown University, (Providence R. I.,) where he graduated in 1808. He afterwards removed to Troy, in the State of New York, where he studied and commenced the practice of law, and soon took a proniinet part io politics ask democrat. During the war with Great Britain, he served as a vojunjMr In the military defence of the state. In J8H» lie was appointed recorder of the city of Troy, but*afterwards taking part with Mr. Van Bur en in opposing the administration of Governor De Witt CKnton, he was removed Irom office by the friend* of that Governo.r in 1818. When the ami Clintonians came into power, Marcy received from Governor Yates the appointment of Adjutant General, in 1821, and removed to Albany, where ha has since resided. In 1823. he received from the Legistature the nppomirnennt of State Comptroller, which, fifhee he held for several years. In 1020 he Vas appointed one of the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the State.— But in 1831 he resigned that office, in cbnta«]ue«ce, of being elected United Stales Senator. lie was in Ihe Sen* ate less than two years, when he resigned, being elected Governor of New York, In i832 He was twice re elected, viz. in 1834 and in 1830 but on a fourth nomination, In 1828, he shared in the defeat.ofthe Democratic party, and William 11. Seward was elected over him. After retiring from the executive chair, Mr. Marcy principally devoted his attention to his private business, until .Mr. I'olk became -President in 1845 lie we* then olfured and aooepteu the office of Secretary of War, and was considered through the four years of his service one of the mos| influential members of Mr. Polk's cabinet. The dutiea of the War jMpeitiiieiit during the Mexican war were arduous, and were discharged by Mr. Marcy with energy and ability.

Ijarly at Monterey and Buena Vista Pre.ililent Polk offered hihi the appointmelil of Brigadier General in the United- States Army, in j847 bot he declined the honor The same year the Legislature elected him U.

SECRETARY OF THE NAVY—JAMES

CAMPBELL.

This Gentleman is at present Attorney General of Pennsylvania, to which office he was appointed .since the State election last fall. He had previously been a lawyer of Phil, and Judge of one of the Court of Common Pleas in that city. In 1851 an attempt was made to elevate him to the Bench of the Supreme Court of the State, the five Judges of which where elected by the people of the Slate by general ticket. Judge Campbell being a Catholic, and a special friend of James Buchanan, was defeated by the intrigues of General Cameron, lato^ States Senator, and other enemies of Buch ar.au and the Protestant and native Amer ioan feeling arrayed against hirn« Consequently, Judge Coulter, one of the whig candidates, was elected with four Demo cratio 'Judges, This circumstance, with the influence of Mr. Buchanan, have com bined to give Judge Campbell his present prominent position. H« is a good lawyer and of active busines habits. He is we be* lieve, the youngest member of the new cabinet, being about thirty-five years of age, ATTORNEY GENERAL CALEB CUSH-

Ljinw?- ING,

At present one of the Jusdbea of the supreme Court of Massachusetts, and well known throughout the United States* as a distinguished politician and eminent scholar. Mr. Cushing was born in Salisbury, Kfsrx County, Massachusetts, in January 1800. and consequently is now in hi* fifty fourth year. Tue political career of Mr. Cushing oom*nenoed in 1825, when he was chosen a representative- from Newburyport to the Legislature. In 1(126 he was selected a member of the State Senate.

Mr. Cushing was again elected to the Massachusetts Legislature, in 1833. and 1834. He made several unsuccessful runs for congress but was finally elected to represennt the North Essex District in 1835. Ilia Congressional career continued for four consecutive terms, of eight years from 1835 to 1843. In 1846 ho was elooiod to the Legislature of Massachusetts* In that body he waa the moat prominent member at the session of 1847, when the Mexican war was at its height. He acted with the democratic members in advocating the policy of that war, and for appropriating $'20.• 000 for equipping the Massachusetts Regiments at the expense of the State. When his proposition waa defeated, Mr, Cushing advanced the money and the Regiment waa made ready for aervioe. He was chosen Col. of the Regiment and accompanied it to the Rio Grande, in Mexico, in toe spring of 1847, being attached to the army of Gen. Taylor. -*f

In 1847, while fiie wITs in ^Textco, General Cushing was nominated by the Democrats of Massachuseeta as their candidate for Governor, Thia movement was owing to the part he had taken in support of the war, and was done without oousultation with him. It doubtless greatly improved his position with the Democratic party in the State and nation: and the increased, though, of course unsuccessful1 vote given him compared with the Democratic vote tlie previous year, waa flattering General Cushing, and ht« friends who hind urged tha nomination, lo 1848, Genera! Cashing was a zealous laborer in hahalf d'tha election of General Cass, acting on all occasions, with tha Union Democrats, and againat the free soil party. In 1850, he was, for tha fifth time elected a member of the i*egisi'iture from Nj||pburyport, and waa active i:n that body in opposing the coalition of the Democrats with the free soil party which caused theeleotiton of Chariaa Summers to the United States Senate. In 1851, the offices of Attorney peneral of Massachusetts waaroflfcred to General Cuthing by Governor hot he declined the honor. The legislature of 1852 having created at Jos an additional Juslice of the Supreme Court Gen. Cushing was appointed to the ofioa in May. it admitted thai he kn* perforated the dntiea of Ma seat on the heoch wtih ability and integrity and as a lodge he has aoquired an acviahie popularity.

Is a lawyer of Fayetteville. and waa elected a member of the 29th Congress. (1847 47 He was speaker of the llouie of Commons at the late session of the legis laiure of North Carolina and was the aandi date of the Democratic party for United* States Senator: but his election was defeated by the intrigues of Romulus M. Saun ders, and a few other members of the Legislature. This circumstance doubtless commended hfm to the favor of General Pierce Mr. Dobbin waa also a member of the National Convention at Baltimore and promptly seconded the movement of the Virginia delegation in favor of the nomination of Geo, Pierce. Mr. Dobbin is in the prime of life, and oi very industrious habits. In debato he is distinguised for eloquence, and his friends have every confidence in his abiiity^p fill the office to which he has been called. /,{ POSTMASTER GENERAL— JAMES

Iadepaadeaee of tke Farmer. Everybody in .America wants to be independent. We have lawyers, physicians, mechanics, ministers and farmers all striving to obtain or secure independence and all. in a good degree, feel satisfied with the result of their labors in this behalf. We glory in our political and religions freedom, all of us. Here, we are all equal, from the President down to the pauper if, indeed, the down hill slopes in that direction, which is a question fairly debateable. But, after ail. there is no class among us so decidedly independent as the farmer.

Look at the minister! Does he dare giv® utterance to sentiments that he knows will be generally distasteful to his society? Does the lawyer want to displease his townsmen, on whom he may depend for a living? Or do the merchant and mechanic feel perfectly free, at the commencement of their business, when the good will of the community may be considered as a portion of their capital, io take decided positions on the unpopular side? There are many of these classes, to be sure, that feel as independent as the farmer because, by success in business they do not feel the necessity of employing this windy capital, the breath of popular applause. So long as men see that their daily bread, in a good measure, depends on the esteem of their fellows, they must be desirous of securing it. The mechauic depends in part, and principally, on his skill and so of al! professions. Bat they all depend also, in some degree, on the good will of others.

The farmer also, relies on his skill but the opinion of his neighbor is not worth a groat to him, so far as his ability to live is concerned. He plants his fields, and the good Lord, who »'sendf his rain on the just and the unjust," makes no distinction. He waters the fields of the Democrat, the Whig, the Abolitionist, the Infidel, and the pious man, alike. The wildest fanatic in the country, by suitable tillage, may raise as good a crop as any one. and sell it is well. But let him attempt to live by preaching, as a merchant, or mechanic how would he prosper? He would certainly be driven from the pulpit, and most likely starved from his shop, Professional men must study social laws. The farmer depends on the laws of nature. The former are always changing the latter never. Consequently, the professional man is often in a dilemma and hardly knows what to do, for ftmr h&shall offend the popular taste or broach alTidea not in fashion. The farmer says just what he pleases for it never was yet discovered that it killed his cattle or rotted his potatoes. And the farmer has more leisure time than most mechanics or professional men. Or if he has not it is his own fault. No farmer need be a drudge. His flooks in the pasture and his crops in the field arc growing while he sleeps. VVhen the merchant or mechanic closes his shop, the income from his business is suspended. But the farmer's income is always inc re as in 1% relies on nature, who labors for him continually, and on nature's God who never slumbers. If a young man wants to engage in business that will Insure him in middle age the greatest amount of leisure time, there is nothing more sure than farming. If he has an inde* pendent turn of mind, let him be a farmer. If he wants to engage in a healthy occupation, let him till the soil. In short, if he would be independent, let him get a spot oi earth keep within his means, to shun the lawyer be temperate, to avoid the doctor be honest, that he may have a clear conscience improve the soil ao as to leave the world better than he found it and then If he cannot live happily and J^confented, there is no hope for him'^"1 fltSyi

DAVID CaocxKTT.—An anecdote is relaJs'd of this remarkable man, which docs him infinitely more honor than any office he ever held. Before he was a candidate for Congress, or expected to be, there Was a treason of scarcity in the Western district, where he lived. He went up the Mississippi, and bought a flat-boat of corn, and took it to what he called "hia old stamping1 ground.** When a man came to him to buy corn, the first question he asked, was, "Have you got the money lo pay for it!,T If the «ns#er was io the affirmative, Davy's reply was, *»Thett you can't have a kernel, brought it here to sell to people that have no money." It was the foundation of his popularity.

To tbe Image of her inaUter. But a fleetiog twelve month had passed sine® the heart (that for years had beat against his own,} was furever stilled, when VValter Lee brought a faif young creature to share his widowed home. Nor father nor mother, brother nor sister, claimed any part of tho orphan heart that he had oovoted and won. No expense or pains had he spared to decorate the mansion for her reception. Old familiar objects, fraught with tenderest associations had been removed to make way for the upholster's ohoicest fancies. There was no picturc left upon the wall, with sweet, sad, mournful eyes, to follow him with silent reproach. Everything was fresh and delightful as the newborn joy that filled his heart. 'My dear Editb,' said be. fondly pushing back the hair from her forehead, "there should be no shadow in your pathway, but I have tried in vain to induce Nelly to give you the welcom 5'du deserve, however she shall not annoy you. I shall compel her to stay in tho nursery liU she yields to my wishes.' -r\2f & •Oh, no! don't do that,* said ihe ^butig step mother, anxiously 'I think I understand her. Let me go to her, dear Walter?' and she tript lightly out of the room and left him to himself.

Walter Lee looked after her retreating figure%with a love-like fondness. The room lo him seemed to grow suddenly darker, when the door closed ofter her. Aeaohing out his hand, he almost unoonsoiously took up a book that lay near him. A slip of paper fluttered out from between the. leaves, like a white winged messenger. The joyous expression of his lace faded into one of deep sorrow, as ho read it. The hand writing was ilia

Warfflrtfcars fell upon the paper as Waller Lee folded it back. He gave himself time to rally, and then glided gently up to the nursery door. It was partially open. A little fairy creature, of some five summers, stood in the middle of the floor. Her tiny face was half hidden in sunny curls. Iler Httle pinafoee was full of toys which she grasped tightly in either hand. •No, you are not my mamma,' said the child. 'I want my own dead n).aimq*.f I^am sorry papa brought you here.

Next Sunday morning my brother curate carried out his threat. 11^ told nie nothing about how he proposed to manage or mould his course so judge my surprise when mounting the pulpit, ha gave out as his text, the 3d chapter of J^uke, part of the 23J. and the whole of the 24th. £5ih. 26th 27»h. 23th. 29th. 33th. 31st. 32nd. 33rd, 34th 35th, 36th, 35th, and 38th verses '-in whioh (he oontinued) will be found the following words and then to the marvel of the whole congregation, who turned .towards the.pulpit with eyes and mouth open, hw read right through the sixteen verses b»gin* ning with—"Joseph which was tho son ol Heli," and ending with.

oflvnos, which was tho son of Seth, .which was the son of Adam, which was the son o( God." Every one is* familiar with the peculiar and strange effect upon tha ear of the repetition of, words "which was '.he son'* when even occurring iu the reading desk: but in the pulpit, a prefix to a sermon in the shape of a text, thfey sounded oddly. The rector looked at mo as if for an explanation, and I did not krtow Where To look while the principal persons of the parish manifestly came to Ihe conclusion that my b.other curate had goue mad. But, if he were, he soon showed there was method in his madness for he ingfiu'»u.«dy evolved out of these sixteen verses discourse that might have served as an essay "on tho Republican legend of "Liberty, Equality and Fraternity." The rooder has probable anticipated me in the use ho made of his long text. "Here (said he) wo have a genealogical tree not traced by the flattery of scyophants nor the uncertainty of heralds, but by the unerring Evangelist, whose inspiration Enabled him to mount from aranch lo branch a genealogy beginning with God, and ending with the poor OsHHean carpenter.-— Here is a lesson and a rebuke for the pride of descent. The poorest carpenter in the poorest village in England, can retrace his lineage through the same unbroken succession and the proudest peer can do no more, unless the latter, in his presumption, should be disposed to ignore his divine origin. But it would be no use by whatever different browohos, they arrive at rhe same root the noble and peasant, if both hud* the power of going back over their ancestry would both meet aj the 38th vorse of the 3rd ohupter of Luke. ••Which was the son of Enos. which was the sou of Seth, which was the son of Adam, wlifch was the son ol God." "Here (he continut^, hjoking at the rector's and squire's pews)—^bere we all meet on equal termfc. Disown theui as we like in other degroes,1iere we are brought face to face with, and can no longer refuse to acknowledge our poof relations."

Then looking ao some forms o'n- whioh, groud of alms-house people sat be nddod "Here, too, my poor fjiends. you and your 'superiors' meet in the presence of your common parent, the great God ol heaven and earth, in whose eyes the fictitious distinctions of ihe world are naught.
