The Cabinet.

Mr. LINCOLN selected the following gentlemen
as his constitutional advisers, and the nomination
was unanimously confirmed by the Senate, with
the exception of Messrs. BATES and BLAIR:
Secretary of State-WILLIAM II. SEWARD, oil
New York
Secretary of Treasury-SAIMoS P CHASE, Of
Ohio.
Secretary of war-SrMos CAMERON, of Penn
sylvania.
Secretary of Navy-GIDEoN wELLEs. of Con
nectcut.
Secretary of Interior-CALEB B. SMITH, of In
diana.
Postmaster General-MoxrGoMER BLAIR, OF
Maryland.
Attorney General-EDwARD BATES, of Mis-
souri,
This is sectional Cabinet. The Southern
States have no representation in the new Admin
stration, for Messrs BLAIR and BATES can not be
regarded as the representatives of Southern SEN
timent Messrs CHASE, WELLEs and BLAIR are
regarded as coercionists. while the rest of the
Cabinet now profess more moderate views. 1t is
somewhat singular that not Southern man could
be found who would occupy place in Mr.. LIN
coins Cabinet. This is an ill omen for the
peace and harmony of the country. 1t will be
noticed that Mr.. SMITH, whom We recommended
to Mr.. LINCOLN for Cabinet appointment, has
the important position of Secretary of Interior.
We hope that the President will have no occasion
to regret suggestion in the matter, and that
Mr.. SMITH will not disappoint the expectations of
his Chief

The Position of Judge Douglas.

The Republican press are exceedingly profuse
just now in their compliments to Judge DOUGLAS
for interpreting Mr.. LINooLNs inaugural not to
mean coercion, and for stating that he should
stand by him in his efforts to preserve the Union
by peaceful means, and to settle the slavery ques-
ton by amendments to the Constitution. Mr..
DOUGLAS took occasion on Wednesday, in a de-
bate in the Senate, to explain his position. Be
cause he had said that he should sustain Mr..
LINCOLN in his efforts to preserve the Union by
peaceful means, he did not wish it inferred that he
sympathized with the Administration, or in any
contingency that he and the President would be
associated for he expected to oppose the Admin
straton on those great principles which separated
parties in former times. Mr.. DOUGLAS expresses
the sentiments of every Democrat. If Mr.. LIN
coin is willing to save the country by adopting
the policy recommended by Democrats, every
Democrat will bid him "God speed" and sustain
him in the patriotic effort, but when Mr.. LIN
coin attempts to enforce the doctrines of the
Chicago platform as the policy of the country, he
will find the Democracy arrayed against him in a
solid mass, and Mr.. DOUGLAS will be found fore
most in the fight.

Another version.

1t is favorite charge of the Republican press
against the Democratic press, that the latter's
Misrepresentation of the purposes of Republican
ism has caused the existing feeling at the South.
The New York World, a Republican paper, seems
to have another view of it. 1t says:
The dominant party has its fiery zealots, its i'm.
placable radicals, its jacobinical mountain. They
bear, we believe. but a small proportion to the
body of the party and yet their ever active audac
ity has given them undue figure in the move
ments of the times. The gross misconception
which prevails at the South in regard to the aims
of the Republicans has been derived mainly from
the extravagant speeches and acts of this wing
of the party. This evil influence must be dis
carded. 1t is morally impossible to settle upon
sound practical policy that shall revive the old
sentiment of nationality, and carry the Admins
tration safely and honorably through, without a
firm resistance to ultraism in every form. Even
though such resistance threaten schism in the
party, the duty remains the same. The party
would sustain no loss by the separation of this
portion of it. which would be more than made up
by the accession of good men; but even were il
otherwise the obligation would be unchanged
The interests Ofthe country are supreme-not the
interests of party

The Declaration of War.

Mr.. Linoolne Inaugural Address is before our
readers-couched in the cool, unimpassioned, de-
iberate language of the fanatic, with the purpose
of pursuing the prOmptings of fanatcism even to
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the Government with the
horrors of civil war. Virginia has the long
looked for and promised peIce offering before
her-and she has more she has the denial of all
hope of peace. Civil war must now come Sec
tional war; declared by Mr.. Lincoln, awaits only
the signal gun from the insulted Southern Con-
federacy, to light its horrid fires all along the
borders of Virginia. No action of our Conven-
ton can now maintain the peace She must
fight, The liberty of choice is yet hers. She
may march to the contest with her sister States
of the South, or she must march to the conflict
against them. There is left no middle course
there is left no more peace: must settle the
conflict and the God of battle give victory to the
right
We must be invaded by Davis or by Lincoln
The former rally fifty thousand of the best and
bravest sons of Virginia, who will rush with
willing hearts and ready hands to the standard
that protects the rights and defends the honor OF
the South-for every traitor heart that offers aid
to Lincoln there will be many, many who win
glory in the opportunity to avenge the treason by
a sharp and certai. death. Let not Virginians
be arrayed against each other, and since we can
not avoid war, let us determine that together, as
people ofthe same Stlte, we will defend each
other, and preserve the soil of the State from the
polluting foot of the Black Republican invader
The question "where shall Virginia go?" is
answered by Mr.. Lincoln. She must 60 to War-
and she must decide with whom she wars
whether with those who have suffered her wrongs
or with those who have inflicted her injuries.
Our ultimate destruction pales before the pres
ent emergency To war; to armsl is now the
cry, and when peace is declared, if ever, in ouI
day, Virginia may decide where she will finally
rest. But for the present she has no choice left
war with Lincoln or with Davis is the choice left
u.s. Read the inaugural carefully, and then let
every readyer demand of his delegate in the Con
vention the prompt measures Of defense which il
is now apparent we must make,-Rchrnond En-

publicans to pass the bill. The Democratic men,
bers of the Legislature have done no injury to the
public interests by placing obstacles in the way of
passing an iniqutous apportiOnment bill, and an
unwise, uncalled-ior, and an expensive militia
system. But the Journal thinks the failure of
these bills sis blow at the very existence of the
Government" We think the Government will
survive the blow, and, in fact, will never know it
was hurt. Our neighbOr will find that the crisis,
which looms up terribly in his imagination, will
be altogether an artificial one. Nobody will be
injured outside of the Republican party. Gov.
MORTON will be able to defend the State just as
well without the militia bill as with it, but its de-
feat may prevent him from providing quite as
well for his party friends.
The military and appOrtionment bills that the
Republicans attempted to force through the Leg
islature were not only unfair and uncalled for by
any public exigency, but they were purely party
measures and designed solely to advance partisan
interests This Senator CLAYPooL had the frank
ness to avow. In speech in the Senate on
Wednesday he said:
do not think there is any use in whipping the
devil around the stump. We are in the majority,
and | am for putting the rowels into the Demo-
cratic party pretty strong. | know if they had
the majority they would make every district in
the State Democratic if they could. | have but
one objection to the bill-it gives them three
Congressional districts where they should have
but two. If the gentlemen want to bolt, say
let them bolt. Ifthis thing is to be held over the
Legislature, as it has been from the commence
ment of this Legislature down, let it come, and
come quickly These gentlemen are demanding
that we shall legslate according to the will and
behests of the minority here. | won't do it. 1t
is uselesssto handy words. We have got to some
to the point, and we have got rope around your
necks.
And yet for the defeat of partisan schemes
bill for quitting the rowels into the Democratic
party pretty strong" the Journal whines about
its being ga blow at the very existence of the
Government BAH Who will blame the Dem
ocracy for not allowing the Republicans to "put
rope around their necks?"

Ehc lnamyurafion.

The new Republican Administration at Wash
ngton has been installed with all the usual for
mulas and without particle of disturbance.
The wagon loads of torpedos that beset Lincoln
in every railroad car and station-house, have all
failed to explode The immense efforts OF un-
known conspirators to destroy the trains upon
which he made his triumphal march to the White
house, have proved signally abortive. The
grand plot of the Statesmen and bankers" OF
the South to kill him, fell utterly harmless. The
five hundred men sworn to kill him with an ''air
gun" have gone the way of all men in buck
ram or Lincoln green" Not a torpedo nary
pop gun nor nothing.
This is as it should be; and, as patriot, we
are glad of it. But for the sake of Pinkerton
and old Fuss and Feathers, one can not let of
a squb; or some unlucky wight, with bad cold
and good "conk,'' had not blown his nose in
the basement of the Capitoll Something ought
to have been done to give color to the miserable
lies of the secret police and the patched up flight
of Lincoln's. With this minor oversight, the in
auguration went off secundum artem.-Chicdgc

Stewards Peace Policy.
sEwARD's GRAND PLAN OF RECONSTRUCTION.

Stewards GRAND PLAN OF RECONSTRUCTION.
The patchwork compromise has not passed
yet, nor is it likely to do So Indeed, the chances
are quite the other way. Seward himself seems
to be opposed to to it. So likewise the straight
est Southern men in both houses. Stewards idea,
as / herr from a reliable source. is to have no
settlement while Buchanan is in power. The
moment he is dethroned peace will be proclaimed,
and the honor of saving the country will rebound,
not to the Republicans but to the new Union
party which Seward is forming, with the help of
Bell and Douglas, Letcher and Bolts. Peace re
stored, and the Confederate States recognized,
the next step will be to call a National Conven-
ton This Convention will remodel the whole
structure of the government in such way as to
bring back the seeded States, and place the
Union on u permanent and enduring foundation.
Such is the grand project which Seward contem-
plates. What is to become of the 'irrepressible
conflict" between free and slave society he has
not vouchsafed to inform us.
