President LincuIn,s c Cahinet.

II must be well known 10 our readers that
neither The capitalists nor the substantial
men Of either party in the country at large,
have entire conf dence in the ability or in
iegrity oil portion OF The present Cabinet
at Washington and that there has been
among Republicans and Democrats alike,
always excepting the contractors and politi-
Cal plunderers, demand for some changes,
al Tie earliest moment compatible with the
Presidents views OF The public interests.
1t Was suggested that previous TO any ia
vorable action upon the recent loan, those
who expec'ed 20 assume this financial OBJ
legation should pass vote of ''wani of con-
fidence" in portion OF the Cabinet, with
the hope that the President would bring
about a speedy reform. But many who
favored the result, were not willing to seem
10 take advantage of the Government neces-
sites at such a crisis, and the movement
was, therefore, postponed. Now that the
loan has been Internationally taken, ii
would moi, perhaps, be excepecling TOO
much oil the President, that he should con.
slider the wishes of those who have stood
so faithfully by the Government as well as
the ouispoken desire OF great par of The
nation, and inauguraie such changes as the

What Constitutes a Patriot !

An individual who loves his country, his
whole country, and zealously supports and
defends it and its interests may truly be
termed a patriot. Patriotism can not exist
IN the heart of him who walls up the boun-
daries of self, partitioning off sections
wherein his affections and his all are con-
centraied. The moment sectional seali.
ment receives care and nutrition, that mo-
ment the patriot becomes the supple vas
sal of errors which will inevitably absorb
the last vital spark, transferring the true
Ioyal citizen into mere creature, the half
willing, half reluctant slave, whose chains
are linked with such base material that rea-
son, justice, and all the finer feelings be-
came subservient powers.
In the long lisi OF distinguished patriots
that have exercised an influence upon the
policy of this government from IFS first in
ceplions, we find the most Jealous and ac-
i've partizans, men who cIung with the
most rigid ienacity TO measures that desig-
mated them as sepe rate and independent
political organization. This badge OF dis
friction, until recently, was never consri-
