Among the aiost intelligent and Jiaeer. ning of the countless correspondent!! who in*or tho great reading public with their speculations on men ond thing? at Washington?that great eentrr of oitional intrigue, politics and statesmanship?is tb?: correspondent of the New Qrlcaoa Dtlia? a prpor which, in tho nbi'ity w:tli which . it is ootid uctcd, and uniform devotion to its boat inter >ats, in unsnrpasred by any in the South. lie thinks the "State* Rights par;y of tho South ought to put forth ;?otno bold and open doclaration ol its wishes * and intentions; that the last moments of deliberation arc rapidly gliding aw.iy; that the tide of opportunity is at iL-j full. He thinks that the future purpose.* of the Republic, tho unity of tho States, tho ve ty question of sovereignty itself?all these Arc at iiaiw; all these are to be pre-deter mined during the few weeks now preceding the Presidential inaugnr.*?ion ; and ! all these, to a groat extent, depend upon the will and the Action of one man. It is a great thought, and ooo *a touch above the rpUoro of p< tty politicians as their ao | phiatrieN ore below argument, or their tic lions below truth. Wo are told now that the Cabinet i? n thing of iittie value ; that it matter* no i - A thing how it is constituted ; tbat it is, un- I dar our system of Government, almost a 1 nullity. Stt'-h conclusion* may be just in ordinary tnues, but at present they -re j tjrribly false. The Cabinet, derives, from tho mighty interests involved in ibocritn-, an importance not its own. We beiiove that every thinking uian throughout the Uniou, ?hu has iu tiro le.wt directed his attention to poli'ics, in earnestly a waling the formation of the cox'. Cabiuoi.and that each wiii then iVcl warrautod to tix hia opinion with ro^ard to the course of the Administration. When a President, left; free to chooae hia o . n advisers, select* tuen who bare been known to the country as the friends of oue principal and the cue mi at of another, it i? but reasonable to enppoe* that his approbation and hia ccoMire hro alike stronp-Jy marked. And, in an issue like this, when the distinction between friend and aneiuy cannot, in mauy 4 instances, be clearly drawn; when timid and temporizing allies aro doing more Sri m W tbc cause of Soothers right* than the Wont opposition, the choice of doubtful ('< - men can oe regarded only as a triumph of our few, , The fault Ujuh entirely with onr modern politicians.
