TROUBLE IN THE CABINET.

TROUBLE IN THE CABINET.
Washington, Noo. 2S.-There was a special
meeting of the Cabinet to-day the object being
the discussion of the Presidents message, es.
pecially of the controverted points relating to
the question of secession.
Mr.. Cobb attended the meeting. His views
were in opposition to those of the President.
1t is probable that he will resign.
He is about to send his family and effects to
Georgia. He will return to that State, and be
put in nomination for the Convention, of which
body he will be leading and influential mem.
Der. He will undoubtedly advocate there the
extreme measure of the secession.
Secretary Thompson will remain, although
not agreeing with the Presidents views.
There is no truth in the intended resignation
of Chief Justice Taney. The report of his
actual resignation was entirely unauthorized.

ST. JOHN b. u. SKINNER,
Aetna First Assistant Postmaster General.

Rhode Island politics seem to be mixed up
wonderfully. There is the "Lincoln Straight
out" the "Lincoln Conservative the " Radi.
cal Republican" the Douglas Party, the Demo
cratic Party, and the Union Party. Agreeing
II some lines of policy, they differ in others.
The State is small, and the contest warm. The
two important matters which now loom up in
the eyes of the politicians are the distribution
of Federal offices and the nominations for the
spring election.

SIR: 1t is alleged that you take great pains

papers without making some offensive or depre.
catory remarks, and that you are very offensive
in doing so, and have devoted to it good deal
Of time, to the neglect of your official duties;
that you keep your Office in very dirty and
slovenly manner, giving rise to great complaint;
and also that at the recent election, and at the
polls, you publicly denounced the President and
Mr.. Breckenridge as not belonging to the Dem.
ocratic party.
If you have any reply to make, or evidence
to offer, in disproof of these allegations, shall
be pleased to receive it.
Respectfully &C.,

Acting First Assistant Postmaster General.

VIRGINIA NOT FAVORABLE TO Sc.
CESSION,

The Alexandra Gazette of Monday has an
editorial denouncing in the strongest terms the
idea of secession, which concludes as follows:
Virginia, therefore, in this perilous ex-
tremity, assailed on the one hand by sectional
and aggressive movements, and assailed on
the other hand by unfrieudly, inconsiderate,
and probably destructive movements, will con-
suit now her own true interests, with due and
proper regard to the interests and feelings Of
others-and, as she will resist aggression or
invasion Of her rig is, so will she not allow any
other State, and least of all, after Whdt has
happened, South Carolina, to force her into
any measure, to hitch her to any course, to
lead her to any determination, or to drire her
to any alliances or any terms, but those she
herself proposes or voluntarily and heartily
adopts"
The same paper gives the proceedings of
meeting held at Staunton, in Augusta county,
Va, on Monday last, at which Hon. A. Fl. II.
Stuart presided, and resolutions were passed
declaring
"That the Constitution should be main
tanned; that the Union should be regarded as
'the palladium of our political safety; that
any organizations in other States calculated to
impair our rights or disturb our peace are in
consistent with the tranquility Of the Union /;
that, as yet, there has been no such palpable,
deliberate, and dangerous exercise Of power, on
the part Of the General Government, hostile to
our rights, as to justify State to nterpose her
State authority, and that secession is no reme-
dy for the wrong now complained of; and that
the election of Lincoln, though to be deplored
and deprecated, y not cause for dissolution or
secession. The resolutions farther declare that
if the aggressive acts of certain Of the non
slaveholding States are not repealed, or are
persisted in, they must increase and strengthen
the disunion sentiment already iearfully on the
increase; and that no permanent Union can
be maintained without strict observance of
the Constitution and Just enforcement Of all
laws and obligations. An appeal is made to
the North to cease agitation and to be just
and to the cotton States to panse before they
act as rashy as some o. them now threaten,
and involve the country in the evils of dissolu.
ton of the Government; and the Senator and
Delegates from the county are instructed to
use their best endesvors to keep Virginia to
her moorings as the Flag Ship OF the Union
A resolution introduced by Mr.. G. 81. Skinner
in favor of a State Convention was rejected"

TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.
FROM FORT SCOTT,


Kansas City, Nop. 27.-The mail coach
from Fort Scott arrived here this evening, bring
ing Jesse Morrin and two registers Of the land
Office at Fort Scott. These gentlemen state
that much of the excitement there during the
last week has been without reasonable cause.
The business Of the land office has not been in
terrrpted, and no fears exist that it will be. 1t
is the prevailing opinion at Fort Scott that the
fight of Judge Williams and his court was not
warranted by circumstances.
A meeting Of Republicans was held at Leav.
enworth on Saturday evening, to take into con.
sideration the difficulties and dangers under
which Kansas is now laboring. Resolutions
denunciatory of the lawless violence of Mont.
gomery and others were passed, and a determi.
nation expressed to support the executive au.
thorities Of the Territory in restoring and pre-.
serving the public peace. Resolutions were
also passed denouncing the action Of the Gov.
ernment in expelling squatters from the Indian
lands.

The MASSACHUSETTS Personal LIBERTY
sonal liberty bills" and Massachusetts has
been particularly alluded to by the Governor
of Georgia in his recent message to the Legis.
lature. The Governor, while proposing dis.
eliminating taxation upon Massachusetts man
ufactures, to offset the enactment, suggests that
such hostile course should be discontinued as
soon as the obnoxious law should be repealed.
A correspondent of the New York Times gives
some interesting details concerning the Massa.
chusetts law, which are calculated to upset the
Governors assumptions.
at so happens" says the correspondent,
"that his Excellency of Georgia is laboring
under an entire mistake of law and of fact as
to the legislation of Massachusetts. He is al-
together behind the times, and is discussing
subject upon which he is very imperfectly in.
formed. The truth is Massachusetts has al.
ready made in substance precisely the repeal
which he points out as the condition Of her
restoration to favor. All those obnoxious pro.
visions about trial by jury upon the habeas cor
pus process, admitting the fugitive to bail, and
establishing presumptions and limitations upon
the rules of evidence &C., &c. in his favor, are
swept away from her statute book. Nothing
remains Of all that famous personal liberty bill,
except provision for the appointment of com
missioners to act as counsel in cases under the
fugitive law, penalty against false claims
made under that law, and clause forbidding
the use of her jails and penitentiaries and the
employment of her militia for the purposes
connected with that same law. If his Excel.
lency will but put on his spectacles, and read
sections So to 6l, inclusive, of chapter IA of
the General Statutes Of Massachusetts, land as
he is dealing with rather a serious matter, he
ought to take that much trouble he will find
that he has been laboring under great mis-.
take. As Staterights man, he will hardly
undertake to say that Massachusetts has not a
right to define the jurisdiction of her own courts
and magistrates, to limit the use Of her own

Philadelphia, Nor. pa general meeting
of the manufacturers of cotton and woollen goods
was held at noon to-day, to consider the de-
pressed state of affairs, and agree upon some
plan by which less goods can be manufactured.
The condition of business affairs was discussed, :,
and the opinion expressed that by unanimity
of faction there could be less production without
a general stoppage, the supply being greater
than the demand. Without action the meeting
adjourned to Saturday at noon.

MAYOR WOODS THANKSGIVING PRoCLAMA.
rIoN.-The Tribune, commenting on the above
document, suggests to his Honor the following
causes for thankfulness:
al. The election of new President and
Vice President on the platform Of the Declara-
ton of Independence, in defiance of the des.
perate, frantic exertions Of all who would place
money and merchandise first, man and his
rights long way afterward.
90. The taking the rule of our State and
nation out of the hands of their grogshops,
gambling houses, and other hsunts Of lewdness
and vice, and placing it under the control of
those who gain their livelihood by means &C.
cordsnt with virtue and the common veal
"3. The great progress which the cause
of lib ,rty and human rights has made in the
year just closing, alike in the old and the new
world
"a. The moral certainty that the Hon. Isaiah
Rynders will retire to the shades of private life
early in March next, and that the African slave
trade will thereupon be very seriously crippled,
and kidnapping in our own city lose some stri.
king facilities.
"5. The strong probability that the Hon.
one year longer, and that nothing can ever
secure him another reelection"
A correspondent of the Times, alluding to the
same subject finds a parallel for the mayors
conversion Of a theme for rejoicing into one of
sorrow, in Lord Melbourne's intimation of the
death of William w. Writing to the Lord
Mayor, the Premier said:
at is with much regret that announce to
your Lordship that it has pleased Almighty
God to relieve his Majesty from his suferings."
