July 16, 1850.
Tuesday morning.
MY DEAR SIR,—The
President goes slow, but I trust will come out well. He will undoubtedly have a
sound Cabinet, and one acceptable to all good Whigs. How able he may make it, 1
cannot say. As yet, I believe he has not committed himself.
I hope we shall at
last finish this so long protracted measure in the Senate. The story yesterday
was that the extreme South would join the extreme North, and lay the bill on
the table, judging it the less evil, in their opinion, to let California come
in at once, and the territorial bills go over.
Yours, truly,
DAN'L WEBSTER.
