ADDRESSES. have received score
of New Year Addresses, with request
generally that we exchange" Not having
any respect for the old fogy practice of
boring our subscribers with such documents
we cannot oblige in this respect. Our ''de-
viz always has pocket money and we have
learned him to be too proud to go round
with his cap in one hand and piece of
half-made jingle in the other, begging for
dimes. Many of the addresses received
are we'll written and handsomely printed
but in majority of instances, the Pegasus
on which the authors rode must have had
the 'stiff complaint" and been otherwise
afflicted with all the diseases which distin-
guished the celebrated horse described by
Grumio, in "The Tanning Of tn: Shrew.'

Tho Cabinet.
Che Tribune puts up the following Cabi-
ret for Mr.. Mr. Lincoln: Seward, Of n Y, for
State; Chase, Of Ohio, Treas; Bates, Of
Mo-, Atty. Gen., Cameron, OF. Pa, War;
Scott, of Va, Navy; Graham, N. c., In
terror; Wells, OF Conn, p NJ j.
The Tribune grunts audibly over the
selection Of Seward and Cameron, without
consultation with the leading Republicans
Of their respective States and VIC notice that
tho South Bend (Ind.) Register, Editor
Wheeler, does not feel pleased with the
selection as laid down in this programme
Colfax has been quite generally spoken Of
in the west as the Post Master General, and
it is not right that the entire northwest
except 0 hio) should be. left out We have
known SCHUYLER CoLrAx since he was 7
years old, poor boy in st. Joseph County,
Indiana, and though always opposed to him
in politics, we want to say that by habits Of
antiring industry, by acquaintance with
public business, by his familiarity with the
whole routine Of accounts, by his uniform
sobriety, by his unaagging efforts to oblige
all who apply to him for official information
from the capital, by his ambition to receive
and merit public approval, by social cour-
.esy, in word, by the possession of all the
clements Of public usefulness and private
worth, there is no man who is better quail
fled to take charge Of and successfully en-
gineer that most important Of all the Fede-
raj Departments than Schuyler Colfax Of
Indiana. AS Chairman of the Committee
On Post Offices and Post Roads, he has
justified us in making this public common
dation.
