York, formerly an old whig with free-soil tenden-
cies; but at present inclined to be conservative
republican. This is pretty good selection.
Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase, o
Ohio, an old liberty guard sbolitonst Of the fre'
trade school, bat fol the sake of policy would have
no objections to tariff, pro yded it would advance
said Chase's political prospects. 1t is the SAINT
Chase that advised John @. Breslin to deposit the
money of the people Of Ohio in rotten banking in
stitution Of Cincinnati, knowing it to be SUCH ant
the same person who locked up the safe and took
the keys of the treasury Of Ohio after his pet, VIM
H. Gibson, had stolen all the monev out Of it,
What finaucier to be placed at the head Of the
United States Treasury!
Secretary Of War = Simon Cameron, of Penn
syl yania the greatest briber and biggest rascal in
the United States, so acknowledged and recogn
zed by men of all parties. He has BELONGED to all
political parties. and will be for any meacure
where there ia chance for stealings.
Secretary of the Navy--Gideon Welles, OF Con
necticut, an old fossil who has seldom been heard o
outside of his own State. Report has it that he

that he would not have obtained the place, only
through the exertions of the Vice President Han
nibal Hamlin, whose tool he has been. d Ef
Secretary OF the Interior-CalebB. B. Smith, ol In,
diana who is known all over the country as the 70
vipg politician. He formerly lived in Indiana, buI
failing to obtain the amount OF spoils his NAV
craved, he removed to Ohio where he tried to be
come prominent epublcan politician, but as the
honest men ofthat party in this State had no conf
dence in him, he packed up his traps and wen

publican. s5
Postmaster General-Montgomery Blair, of thu
District Of Columbia. He isa "son of old Blair
the same trescherous individual who was raised
out of obscurity and placed in prominence anc
wealth by the Democratic party, and then deserted

This Montgomery is fac simile OF old Blair He
has held Office in Washington City ever since he
was old enough, from Democratic administrations,
until he wss kicked out about year since by
PRESIDENT CucHaIldH. NVHou We. "oto iu w "o 4
inpton inthe winter of '57 he was among the loud
est for Lecompton," and one of the worst kind OF
abusers % Senator Douglaa He is about as ii
for Postmaster General as postmaster at some
county cross road would be. His great forte is
vanity. He is now said to b. one OF the ultraist
republicans in the country.
Attorney General-Edward Bates, of Missouri
al old regular polluted sager, who has been every
hing and anything tor the sake OF getting some
thing. By living in slave State, he istermed by
some as being conservative; but he eau be what
ever suits. -..ss -s ..
Such is Mr. Lncoln's cabinet, In it there is at
least four presidential aspirants-Seward, Chase,
Cameron and Baes-the other three Smith, Welle
and Blair-coud not raise friends enough TO urge
them for any responsible post. They are all fr1m
one section OF the Union--the Northern-except
Blair and Bates, and they are not Southern e.
nough in feeling to have any interests with that
section. This cabinet makes the sectional pro-
gramne completes a Sectional President, Sec
tional Vice President, sectional cabinet, and
the offices all filled with Norlher sectional aboli-
tlonists.
