with the Southern dlsuAfonists is every
day becoming more and more apparent.
The cool audacity with which, in his
Message, he perverted the history Of fthe
timea=4the lowsaqpss-,ips thrown
upon the man selected by the people to
be his successor-thc rciteration of the
clainl alatz the Constitution carries
slavery into all the Territories, beyond
the power Of either Congress or the peo-
pic to prohibit-thc feeble denial Of
the riyht OF traitors to dissolve the
Union, coupled with the assurapce that
he would not use the power of the Gov
ernmcnt to prevent thcm--and the fact
that ihe aarbored in his cabinet the lead
efs Of the sccessionists, made it manifest
toall but the blindcst of partisans, that
he either secretly sympathized with the
conspirators, or was the mere imbccile
tool in their hands.
Ills Secretary of the Treasury, after
having prostrated the business of the
country and created a public debt of
many millions Of dollars, while laboring
to bring about dissolution Of the Gcv-
ereaieut he was doublysworn to support,
aefew days since sent in his resignation,
eRthe ayowed ground that the time had
cemc when he could do more in the Con-
sention Of traitors in Georgia to accom-
plish his purpose, than by remaining
longer in the Cabinet of the Union he
was plotting to destroy. With this
knowledge and .avowal, he parts with
his co-laborer, with expressions of 'pro-
found regret, and with assurances Of the
highest esteem and regard
While the conspirators are Matching
their schemes of treason and rebellion,
in Conventions in South Carolina and
Others States, Fort Moultrie, and other
forts at Charleston, are threa tened with
siege by the nullifers Buchanan, it is
known, has shipped unusual quantities
of arms and military stores to that city
where they are left without adequate
protection, and when the officer com
manding attempted quietly to remove
them into the fort for greater safety, he
was prevented by the secessionists from
SO doing. The Commander at Fort
Aoultrie, with less than forty men to
maintain the forts and the millions OF
GnFed States property, and the arms
and munitions there feeling the utter
ine9equacy of his force, urgently re
quests the President to place at his dis
posal the means requisite to enable him
TO perform his duty to his country, is
fatty refused
General Cass, seeing the necessity of
maintaining these Forts, and the i'm
possibility of doing so with the force
there, urges the President to send a re-
Enforcement. The Disunionists in the
Cabinet, still, however, controlling the
weak or wicked Executive, over-rule
his motion, and as an honest man, in
whose heart all patriotism had not died,
General Cass found himself in posi-
tion where he must either resign or be
come an -aceomplice of the traitors to
his country! To his honor, he had the
manhood to resign! And his rcsigna-
tion, according to the New York Herald,
just received, is put upon the ground
above stated Who will follow next? 1t
is clear that no man who has a spark of
patriotism in his heart will retain OF
take a seat in this miserable Cabinet
while it remains as it is, nest of seces-
sionists.

MADNESS.
Under the false pretense of a meeting
to devise the means of saving the Union,
the leaders of the Fusion Factions" in
New York have been holding caucus,
the proceedings OF which must add to
the fanaticism of the Southern Seees-
sionists, and tend largely to inaugurate
civil war even In the North. These
desperate denaagogues, stung to fury by
their overwhelming defeat, are taking
their revenge by the repetition of the
most infamous, falsehoods against the
majority of the Northern people. The
stale lies Of the campaign are reproduced
with double intensity, and instead of at
tempting to stop the treason of their
disunion partisans, by a simple ac-
acknowledgements that they had misrepre-
sented the Northern people for political
effect, the widest libels are hurled out
upon the Republicans as if with the pre-
determination to excite the rabble into
scenes Of mob violence.
With an audacity of falsehoods un-
heard of, these eonspirators assure the
Southern disunionists that the Republi-
cans are the determined enemies of the
country, and intend to bring about an
insurreetion of the slaves and the mas
saere of the masters. They are told
that there can be no safety for them in
the Union, unless the Republicans can
he put down Ia the North, and beg them
to hold ON until that can be accom-
plished. Their whole proceedings show
that the object is to get into power
again, and for that purpose they are
ready to risk the peace, prosperity, and
even the very existence of the Union
