The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1856-11-20

these offices with free State men, on terms of
equality-only since March 9Th, l84l, period
of nearly sixteen years, they have taken almost
exclusive supervision of the Navy, Northern
men having occupied the Secretaryshp only
two years. Nor has any Northern man been
Secretary of War since l849. Considering
that nearly all the shipping belongs to the free
seem remarkable that Shareholders should have
monopolized for the last sixteen years the con-
troll of the Navy.

The Attorney General is the confidential ad- |
wiser of the President and Heads of Depart. |
ments, on points of law. The treason trials at |
Christiana, Pennsylvania were set on foot under |
advice, we presume, from the Attorney Gen |
eral; and we all know what efforts Caleb Cush- |
ing has made to give the color of law to the |
Pro-Slavery aggressions of his party.
Observe, then, that this post has been filed |
twenty-five years by Northern men, and forty. |
two years by Southern men and Shareholders, |
out of sixty seven years; and among the North
ern men, it would puzzle one to find in the
whole South more thoroughly Pro-Slavery con-
structionists than Caleb Cushing and Isaac
Toucey.
