THE PRESIDENTS CABINET,


THE PRESIDENTS CABINET,
The Administration has been unceasngy
charged with the intention Of creating third
party Some of The most decent prints on both
sides have called it a hybrid" Administration,
whose course was marked by no distinctive lne
of policy--and YET none OF these would
be leaders Of public opinion can point out
any single measure of the Administration
which is not in strict conformity with the pro-
minent principles of the Republican party.
Looking TO the Cabinet, a. at present organ
lied, this truth is fully established. In all the
elements which should constitute the founda-
ton Of party, there is full and perfect accord
ance between its members. The opportunity
for cordial and firm union between all the Re
pubicans of the country, who have been sepa-
rated for some years past-and which separa
lion was produced BY differences resting upon
principle, on the one side, and too great, a
was believed, departure from it on the other.
was presented in the Cabinet formation. Three
of the members might justly be regarded as the
representatives Of that portion Of the RepubI-
cans who voted for General Harrison in 1910;
and the remaining three Of that other portion
who voted for Mr.. Van Buren,. Here there
was furnished fair opportunity for REUNION
of that party which brought Mr.. Jefferson inIc
power-which sustained MIR. Madison and Mr..
Monroe, and which elected General Jackson in
1923. Every man Of the Cabinet had voted for
General Jackson, and had assisted in overthrow
ing the Federal Administration of Mr.. Adams.
Could there possibly have been Cabinet de-
vised, which was better calculated to ensure the
rally Of the universal Republican party
But what have we witnessed Z? Every effort
has been made 10 thwart these wise intentions.
Nor have these efforts been confined to the
presses of the country They have equally
been made by political bodes-clubs, STYLING
themselves Democratic meetings-of which the
Albany association has doomed out most pro-
minently.
There has been but one language held from
nrst 10 last: Dorm uih the Presidenf--dopn

tion.
LANGUAGE EQUALLY SUICIDAL HAS BEEN Ut
TERED.
The People themselves have been accused
with having been "bought up" in the contest oil
1910; charged with being fools" "dupes" &c
tricks and trckery, and we know not what
And upon issues such as these, Mr.. Van Buren,
is again put forth as The candidate, in order to
have "wrongs redressed" aud "grievancel
cured.n Let any man reflect on thi, for a mo
ment and il he b. possessed Of an abiding de
sire TO see Rrpublcanism successful and Fede
raiism defeated, he will find cause TO pour on
upon The heads Of these miserable choriofdn
his hottest Indignation. How are they TO viii
victory which they so signally lost IN lS4O
Let the true reason for such a course be furnish
ed in a single word: There has existed sp
prehension from the first, that the Presiden
might become popular with the People, AM
thus stand in the way of a favorIe aspirant
The success OF the Democratic party was not a
all considered.
Now, we say to these political tricks,ers, on
and all OF them, that the President is actuate
by lvflier ambition than the mere matter O
office. He desires, a. we firmly believe, 10 leav
behind him, when he retlres from the Presiden
CIV, a name associated with those who have bee
esteemed the benefacrors Of his country. Flo
the trappings Of ofice he cares not. He ha
pursued his course without being shaken b
abuse, or inundated by the mad rawlings Of fac
ton. II bis name has been preseGted for tn
succession by numbers Of the People, he ha
had no agency in their movements. The Peopl,
and all portions Of them, have right to expires
their opinions relative to him and his Admin,
trstion.
But we have one question TO ask the wir,
workers: IL Tan Buren, Democrat Of 1874
cannot recognise as Democrat one who vote
for General Harrison, how can Harrison ID,
mocrat recognise Mr.. Van Buren, as such,
any man who voted for him
Answer this, We wise men Of Albany and
you answer, so let your fate rest in your ow
