MR. CHASE IN THE CABINET.
The impression among the friends of Mr..
Chase To- day Is, that be will 90 into the
Cabinet. There can be no d; ubt that a
Cabinet including both Seward and Chase,
would at the present time inspire far more Of
the confidence. Of the Republican party than
If only one Of them were in it. They are
the representative men of the old whig and
Democratic elements Of which the party is
composed and neither of these elements.
would be 50 fully and satisfactorily represen-
ted by any other men in the country as by
these recognized leaders. There Is an i'll.
founded impression abroad that Mr.. Chase is
political abolitionist or that he verges to-
wards those theories Of Constitutional con
struction which assume the right in the
Federal Government 10 interfere with slave
~ in the States. Nothing could be further
from the fact; and no man in the party has
more accurately defined political creed than
he has Again and again Mr. Chase has
placed himself on record as a strict copstFuo--
zionist of the Constitution denying on the
one hand the modern Calhoun latitudinarian
doctrine which declares that the Constitution,
by its spirit carries Slavery into the Ter
ritories, and on the other, the equally un-
warranted assumption that the Constitution
authorizes legislation against Slavery in the
States. He holds that Freedom is national,
and Slavery sectional, or local-and that it
depends upon, and is protected by State laws
The appointment of Mr.. Chase to seat in
the Cabinet would 90 far to heal the breach
in the parity and there is no reason to doubt
that he would cooperate cordially with his
colleagues. No true friend OF the party viii
attempt to produce a rivalry between him
and Mr.. Seward, for the very reason that
they represent the original elements Of which
Il IS composed, the complete blending of
which is essential to the success Of Repub-
lican Administration. ..-..

ton rushed between the contending hosts
and the hostile weapons dropped from the
hands OF the combatants, and peace was de-
elared.
Special dispatches to the N. Y. Herald
CONDITION OF AFFAIRS IN CHARLESTON HARBoR.
The Secretary of War is in daily receipt of
dispatches from Major Anderson, in which |
full details are given of affairs in Charleston |
harbor. He states, in his last letters, that the
batteries, fortifcations, and other means of |
attack and defense, which have been under |
construction, are nearly completed. The |
impression is very general that they inIend |
to make an attack on Fort Sumter, unless |
prevented by the solemn interpositiou of the |
Provisional Government at Montgomery, i'm
mediately after the 4th Of March. It appears |
that Governor Pickens notified President /
Davis to that effect.
Major Anderson believes the attack will be /
made at night. The administration are aware
Of the fact that President Davis has urged the
people not to make move looking to an at
tack without first notifying the government
a. Montgomery.
Tt appears that there is a large party in
South Carolina who ignore the Southern con-
iederacy, and will not recognize their author
ty. Others again, who are more conserva-
i've. including Governor Pickens are for act
ing with the Confederate States
