Linco,a.s Cabinet and Policy.

The all-wise quill drivers of the Anti
Lincoln press are busy making UP Cabi-
net for him and putting mp finger board:
along the line OF policy he must pursue r
their estimation, in order to save himsel
from disasters. The President elect should
be duly thankful, and undoubte lily he is, to
these sages for their kind offices in his be.
half particularly as they are known to be
Palinuri ofextensive experience, having pi-
loted the Administration of James Buchanan
through the breakers SO successfully.
But we are very much inclined to believe
that Abe Lincoln is one of those stubborn,
head-strong fellows who will try to get
along without the assistance of the officious
individuals who are proffering their expert
ence and wisdom so profusely. These init
nations from certain quarters that this or
that man is to have this or that post in the
next Cabinet, are found to be wanting in
authority. The story that the Railsplitter
is about to make speech having concil-
iatory tone, and designed to pacify the
brawling brats of the cotton States has no
foundation in fact. The whole life of the
President elect shows him to be man of
prudence, and assures us his Cabinet will
be men of like qualities, of conservative
statesmanlike views, of irreproachable NOR
ais and unquestiona5le patriotism. Who
the statesmen he will select will be is known
only to himself, if indeed he has already
made the choice. That they will be of q
kind acceptable to the majority of the
American people, We have the fullest con-
fdence.
As regards the report that he will shortly
make speech for the purpose of allaying
the excitement Of the secessionists, it is
highly improbable. The course for the en-
tire Union loving population to pursue it
would seem, is to continue their daily avo-
cations quietly as if nothing dangerous
threatened. Let the spoiled child fret
Give it no assurance that stick of candy
will be forthcoming by and by, and all will
be well. So long rs sweets are rendered to
soothe an irritable temper. ebulitions are
likely to succeed each other in quick sue
cession in order to obtain the pacicating
lozenge. Let it go to bed supperless few
times without word of pity or compass
ion, and if this fails, apply the family cor
rection as n counter irritant to relieve
rush of blood to the head
1t is time enough for the turbulent spir-
its of South Carolina to know what course
is to be pursued towards them, after the
fourth of March next. Till that time they
will have license from the treacherous old
public functionary at Washington to con-
tinue their reasonable doings. But every
dog has bis day, and Mr. Buchanan and the
foul birds of like feather who, like the har-
pies that trod upon the table of -Eueas, are
befouiing the fruits of good government in
South Carolina, will have their day too.
A new man, fresh from the people, i'm
bued with clear ideas of right and wrong,
firm in the execution of his constitutional
duty, patriotic in all his impulses and coz
victions, implacable to all chronic enemies
of his country, fearless in the path of rec
titude in which he is determined to tread,
and endowed with sagacity of intellect
which eminently fits him for any emcrgen-
cy, will shortly assume the reins of govern
ment and direct its course in the glorious
path way marked out for it by partial Prov
idence.
