liar, and without striking features though
closely observed it is seen to be the face OF
an intense and powerful man, having an ex-
preston of concentration and Sood-natur-
ed Sort of pluck His style OF dress is that
of Il tidy business man. and his manners
frank and unaSsummg as those OF boy

RepubIicanism Among the Germans

There are five Wards in Cincinnati main
ly occupied by Germans. The Tolks5lat
OF that city gives the following interesting
table. showing the gradual growth of Re-
publican sentiment among them. 1t will
be observed that the formerly existing
Democrat majority in those Wards of over
1000 votes, has been steadily reduced
each year, until with an annually increas-
ing Republican majority, it is at last com.
pletely revolutionized. Where formerly
the Democrats had majority of 1000,
there the Republicans now have a majori-

The Popuiar President.

The New York Post argues that Lincoln
viii be one of the most popular Presidents
that ever assumed the executive Office; for
the reason that the course which his enemies
have pursued has made him the represent
ative Of ;he constitutional and union senti-
ment of the people They have threatened
to overturn our government in the event oi
his success. and the very threat has con-
verted to his support all the interests that
are menaced. Let the traitors undertake
to execute their malicious purposes. and
every man at the South as we'll as the
North, who is the friend Of order, will look
to Lincoln TO uphold our institutions. All
the Bell-Everett. nearly all the Douglas
men. the thousands npon thousands ofcon-
servatives who side with no party. besides
the\soIid phalanx of Republicanism.. will
uphold his strong arm while he maintains
the integrity of the oaganic law. They
will be more enthusiastic in his support
thar the Wide wakes, and they will crush
out the viper of treason and lawlcssness
even before it has shown its head.

R The Vicksburg Whig continues

EF The yicksburg Wing continues to
fight steadily for the Union, and insists that
Mississippi. if the question were submitted
to her. would condemn disunion schemes
by $4,000 majority. These questions. it
says. of Union and disunion, taxation anil
Conventions. peace and war, secession and
revolution. and not party issnes-they ef-
feet every citizen alike; and while Missis-
sippi may vote for candidate for Prcsi-
dent because he is a democrat. it by no
means follows that her people will precip-
itate themselves into civil war because
he is defeated. Again we say, there need
be no fear Of Mississippi. She will vote
down disunion. adds the Wing. whenever
the factionists make the issue, by an over
whelming majority. Let them make the
issue, then. if they dare

The German Press on Edward Bates.
Speculation upon .he construction of Mr.
Lincoln's cabinet will be prominet theme
for some time to come. Up to this time
the following names are those most spo-
ken Of:
Secreta ry Of Statc-William HI. Sew
ard; Simon Cameron. of Pennsylvania;
William G. Rives. Of Virginia.
Secretary of Interior--John Bell, ol
Tennessee, 1.-THE defeated candidate for Pres

Secretary of War--Cassius NJ. Clay. Of
Kentucky.
Postmaster Gcncra,--Schuylcr Colfax,
Indiana; Chandler. of Michigan; or (if Mr.
Seward should not be Secretary of State,
Horace Greeley. Of New York.
Secretary Of Navy-John Minor Bolts,
Of Virginia.
Attorney Gencral-Henry w. Davis, o.

According to this programme the South
has the lions share.
Farther than Bates. Republican Presi-
dent dare not go from his position in IA
vor of the South.
Notwith tanding III y h, Ec. n leans
would not make MIR. Bates President,
nothing can be said against giving him q
position in the Cabinet. In this connec-
ton it is to be observed that Mr.. Bates. af-

manner spoke ont and placed himself fair.
ly and squsrcly on the Republican plat
form. He stands, according to his last
public declaration, more to the left (if we
may use European parliamentary phrase
than Seward in his Palace Garden speech.
just because we worked fiercely and un-
ccasingly against Mr.. Bates nomination,
do we now hold it our duty to do him
justice.
Had he written the letter before Lincoln's
nomination which he wrote afterwards, his
nomination would not have been opposed
by the German Republicans; bnt they
would in case of his nomination, have ac-
cepted him as willingly as they did Mr.
Lincoln.
The Anzeiger in copying the above says;
Nov we supported the nomination ol
Mr.. Bates before he wrote his celebrated
letters. We did so, because we knew him
personally to be the man who would not
only write such letters, but who would as
President. act exactly as he said he would
in these documents, which to our great
satisfaction, appeared after and not before
the Chicago Convention. Whoever speaks
out as Mr.. Bates has spoken after he has
nothing more to expect from the party
which he recognizes, is at all events just
and whole souled man. That we would
be as well pleased as the New York AJ
endzeifung to see Mr.. Bates in Lincoln.
Cabinet, as Attorney General, for instance
is very certain For. while our party con.
tains many good men. it has no better mar
than Mr.. Bates"

Policy Of the president Elect.

In laying before our readers the speech
delivered by Senator Trumbull, at the
celebration in Springfeld-th home OF
Mr.. Lincoln--wc have to remark that too
much significance cannot he attached to
it. Private dispatches state that it was
prepared at the suggestion of the Prcsi-
dent elect. and received his full approval,
before it was spoken. However this may
be. it is evident that Judge Trumbull, in
undertaking to foreshadow the policy OF
the incoming administration, woull ad-
vance nothing which he had not full war
rant for advancing. His very intimate
relations with Mr.. Lincoln, abundantly
qualify him for doing that which Mr.. Lin
coin himself is precludcd from doing prior
to his Inauguration.
We trust this comprehensive. patriotic
manifesto will have the effect of auelinp.
or at least subduing that crazy agitation.
of which the cotton States are the volun-
tary ard dcluded victims. 1t has been
called forth by considerations of public
duty and responsibility, and if it does not
fall like oil on the troubled waters, the
Secession faction may justly be pronounced
incorrigiblc. We think il good omen
that Judge Trumbull has been selected as
the medium for laying Mr.. Lincoln's views
before the public. for as our readers we'll
know. he is State's-right Republican.

II Is unnecessary to direct attention to

closely scrutinized; but the positions laid
down in relation to the yexed questions,
prove conclusively that Lincoln is the con-

pretense of insufficicncy of population

the very time this objection was made
Kansas contained 10000 more than the
requisite number. What will be the next
pretext for keeping her yet longer out of

No ESsLAvEMENr OF FREE NEGROES IN

the question of enslaving the negro popu-

Maryland from which we have received re-
turns in which the act for the cnslsvement
of free negroes was submitted to the pco-
pie. the voters have emphaticalIy and sig
nally denounced that unchristian law. The
question has been mot and decided without
any reference to party politics. and the law
is defeated by majorities amounting al
most to unaninity. The result is greatly

RESIGNATION OF JUDGE rANEY.

RESIGNATION OF JUDGE TANEY.
It is true that Chief Justice Taney has
resigned, though the announcement was
not intncded to be made until it was as
certained to certainty that Attorney
General Black could be confirmed. The
resignation was not unexpected by the
President, and has nothing to do with po-
litical troubles. The announcement is said
to be breach Of confidence on the part oi
member of the Cabinet.
THE NEW PAPER AT WASHINGTON.
The new Republican paper appeared
this evening Itexplicitly denies that j,
is the organ Of any party. or ever intended
to be.
1t is understood that no newspaper at
the seat of Government, no matter under
what auspices it may be started, will have
authority to speak for Mr.. Lincoln or
the incoming administration. Organship
is about played out.
ABSENCE OF SENATOR sLrDELL.
Mr.. Sliiell has sent word here he will
not attend the Senate this session, un-
less the President should desire his vote
on some special occasion. His absence
will not cause much sorrow.
THE MISSISSIPPI DELEGATION.
Private dispatches yesterday announced
that the Senators and Members of Missis-
sippi had met at jackson, and unanimous
ly agreed on secession and Southern
Confederacy. They did not state however,
who gave them any autority to decide the
question. That State emphaticaly voted
such q scheme down in her Convention oi
1851. and rebuked the Legislature for an
attempt to superccde an expression by the
people. The manages are now trying the
same game. with the expectation of max
ing the masses follow their lead.
