Hon. Edward Bates.

It IS reported that the offer Of Cabinet
appointment has been formally rendered 10
Hon. Edward Bates OF Missouri. The Spring
field correspondent of the New York Herald
writes: ta-'@
Mr.. Bates presence was solicited by the
President elect: first for an exchange Of
views on the present condition Of public
Affairs; and, secondly, for making the formal
offer Of q seat in the Cabinet to the unsue-
cessful rival aspirant to the republican nomi-
nation. Frank B. Blair, Jr., had been deputed
as mediator during his late stay between the
two high contracting powers. Through him
the inVitation to repair 10 Springfield was
extended to Mr.. Bates. q /
As to Mr. Bates views, am able to state
that they are most decided and uncompro-
missing on the secession question. he pro
claimed boldly that "secession is treason,
and must be put down. BE 4urthermOfe
urged, with great energy that the "majesty
Of the federal laws should be maintained at
all hazards" Il is said that be sgreed with
the President elect on all the leading points
that became the subjeetof discussion.
It is universally asserted that the Secreta-
ryship Of the interior was offered to Mr.. Bates,
and accepted BY him. In some quarters bis
name was connected with the Attorney Gen
erslship. The authentic information pos
sess warrants me however, in eoutradicting
the offer Of the last mentioned office. j

We published yesterday communication
from TIE New York Tribune, recommending
Hon. D. K, Cartier Of this city for place in
Mr.. Iincoln's cabinet, To all the reasons
urged in fhft article in favor Of Mr.. Cartier,
we desire to add or endorsement and to say
further thsgwe together with the other Re
publieans Of Ohio, would be glad to see this
able defender Of the Republican faith, placed
in that position.
Mr. Cartier WAS q memberOf Congress
from the 18th District Of Ohio, from ls4s to
1852, and stood high as debater and thirk-
er. He Eas elected as Democrat and acted
with that party until the passage Of the Kan
sas-Eebraska act, when he infused to follow
that party in its dssertion Of true Democrat
ie uriucibls. Re lat once set himself to the
work Of establishing the Republican party
Since then, be has iabored earnestly and
heartily in the Republican cause, having
done noble service in every campaign.
Mr.. Cartier has BEEN resident Of this city
sfnes 1854. and nowhere stands higher in the
estimation Of all, whether political friends or
foes. than here among his fellOw-citisens.

country would be safer to-day that it is.
When the trembling Judge Williams tied
from bis circuit in Kansas, at the 6rst report
Of possible interferencA and spread slarm

out a moments delay TO substantiate the ru-
NOR, ordered troops to proceed to the scene

lima oompels her Judges and Marshals to re-
sign, and openly ptoelaims rebellion, and
boldly announces the intended seizure
Of the Government forts, the President Ts-
fuses, to send any troops thither, lest it pro
woke Uwar and massacre" The reason for
TO his contrast is, that while the former gave
him al opportunity to punish the people
whom be had pursued with malignant
hate for thsir devotion to freedom, the latter
occasion was one which was but the result Of
his own persistent and unooncealed devOtOR

In an article Published in yesterday s
LEApER. taken from the Ohio State journal,
the suggestion is thrown out that the cues
ton Of slavery in the territories might be dis
posed Of by dividing them up into suitable
dimensions for States and then give them
.full power to elect all their officers and form
their own institutions, send delegate to Con-
gress. and when they have sufficient popu-
lstion. 70 come in as States. We do not un-
derstand the Journal to favor the suggestion.
1t seems to US that there are insuperable OBJ
jections to this plan.
/. It blinks or surrenders the position that
slavery can have no legal existence in the
territories, under the constitution. The vital
doctrine of the Republican party on this sub
jeet is that the normal condition Of the ter
ritories is that Of freedom, and that neither
Congress or any territorial government can
give any legal existence to slavery in the
territories. The Legislative POlosr over the
territories is in Congress, and whatever pow
ers are possessed by the tefritorial govern
msnts, must be derived from Congress- and
Whatever Congress permits to be done under
its authority, is, to all intsnts and purposes
dons b. CoHress. The Supreme Court has
alsDays held that the legislative power over
the territories, is in Congress. Even the Dred
Scott case holds this doctrine. The only
question made on this point has been as to
the source of this power, whether in the ex-
press provision of the Constitution as to
making of all ''needful rules and regula-
tons" for the territories: or growing neces-
Barily out Of the power to acquire territory.
Does the Constitution establish freedom or
sau5sy in the territory We say it estab-
lisbes freedom and can We then consistently
turn around and say that territorial gov
erument may establish slavery?
2. It would be no settlement. It would
merely traHsfer tho conflict between freedom
and slavery to the territories, as in the case Of
Kansas, and would in the end increase in
stead Of hlizy agitationg F0E
: s. Il may be said that # the government
is in the hands of the Republicans there
would be. no danger that slavery would 60
into the territories. To q great extent this
may be trues Butt would be holding out
inducements to the Shareholders 70 go into
the territories with view of forming slave
States and stimulate the fllibusteFing dispO-
sition Of the South towards Mexico and Cen
tral America, for tie purpose Of getting more
slave territory in those directions
Again, would it be candid toward the
South to enter into a compromise Of this
kind, with the secret purpose Of using the
influence Of the general government against
theln7 Would it not lead to charges of bad
faith, to new grounds Of complaint, and az
gFavsts instead Of settle the present troubles
Let rs be frank with tan South and tel
them that We mean to stand by the COnstitu-
ton and Government as our fathers made it,
and that the territories must be preserved to
freedom.

George Dawson, one Of the editors of the

compromise;
The writer Of this paragraph Zone of the
editors of the Journal) deems It his duty to
say, thathe can neither advocate nor acquiesce
in any compromise which involves the sur
render Of free territory to slavery. The same
vote which elected Mr. Lincoln affirmed the
inviolability of free soil. It would be no more
unreasonable, therefore, fer the South to de-
mand Mr, Lincoln's unconditional abdieatioh

Editor. Of The Missouri Donooras /.

The repeal of the Missouri Compromise in
1854, by Judge Douglas and the party than
acting with him, was justly considered of so
bold and startling nature by the authors,
that human ingenuity was taxed to the utmost
extent to make the measure palHtable to the
American people. While the charming
words " "seli-government," "popular soveT-
eighty were misapplied in justification Of
this breach Of faith involved in the repeal
there was not an inconsiderabIe amount Of
stress laid, on our treaty. obligations arising
out of the cessiol of Louisiana BY. France to
the United States. Il was insisted that by
article Sd Of the treaty, April 80, 1903, which
reads as follows: GThe inhabitants Of the
eeded Territory shall be incorporated in the
Union Of the United States, and admitted as
soon as possible, according to the principles
Of the Federal Constitution, to the enjoyment
of all the rights, advantages and immunities
Of citizens OF the United States, and n the
