LINCOLN and the south

We give the following rather remarkable
statement from the Boston Courier for inst
what it Is worth. 1t may be so or it may not,
bat fcourse if the Government is to continue
we should say-it would be best for Lincoln to
get the majority of his Cabinet from among the
Southern statesmen. The Courier says:
a. Letters hsve, I" oar certain knowledge, been
qnitr lately addressed. by persons n the full pos
