WASHINGTON, July 20,
1850.
I suppose the
Cabinet work is done, and that Mr. Webster is to be Secretary of State. This is
to be regretted for a thousand reasons; but there are some aspects of the case
in which it may argue well for a settlement of the hostile questions which now
agitate the country. Mr. Webster will be very acceptable to the South for the
very reason that he has made himself offensive to the North. I only hope it
will eventuate for the good of the country.
