The Cabinets.

We las. week published the names oe
the members Of Mr.. l.incoln's Cabinet,
but it has sine, been somewhat changed, A.,
wo therefore re publish it correctly:
William II. Seward (N. " Secretary
IF State.
Salmon T. Chase (O) Secretary of the
Treasury.
Gideon G. Wcllcs Coma Secretary of
the Navy.
Simon Cameron PA Secretary of War
Edward Bates Mo Attorney General
Caleb B. Smith (lnd. Secretary of the
Interior.
Montgomery Blair (Md.) Postmaster
General.
The following named persons compose
Mr.. Davis Cabinet:
Robert Toombs of (Ga) Sc cretary of
State.
G. L. Msmminger (S C.) Secretary of
he Treasury.
J.. p. Walker (Alt..) Secretary OF War,
S. r. Mallory (Flo.) Secretary of the
Navy.
J. II Ragan Texas Postmaster Gen
cral.
j. 7. Binjamin (La.) At,ornoy Cen
eral.
r6r While Mr.. Lincoln has seen fiji to
select majority OF his Cabinet from that
class o:men who were softly termed Free
Soilers in lS50-lut, having boen spewed
out of the Democratic party, soon become
full fedged Republicans-Mr. Davis
seems to have tackled about, and selected
a majority OF lis Cabinet from among
those who were the bone and sinew
Of the Whig party at that day. Messrs.
Toombs, Walker, Mallory, and Binjamin,
were all active members of the Henry
Clay Whig party. ..Messrs. Memminger and
Rasan have always beea Democrats.

STRASGE.-In late issue of the Press,
VIC find an article on office hunting"-
something that Mr.. Forney seems to
loathe and despise. This is indeed strange
advice from man who has either held CT
been seeking an Office ever since he was
twenty-one years Of age. If, however, he
speaks from experience, his advice should
be taken but it seems strange that mis-
own son should refuse to take his fatherly
advice, as We observe that he has taken an
Office under Mr.. Lincoln; and we shall
not be surprised to learn soon that the
father has done likewise.
Myself and two sons. each six feet
high" are determined 10 end their career
in that ditch"

EI'The Legislature OF our State as
passed a bill granting $4,000 of the poo.
pies money to the State of Kansas. A mo.
tion was made that each member should
pay $40 out Of his salary, but it was unan.
imously voted down. There is no que,.
ton but that this mode of depicting our
treasury is unconstitutional and wrong
The State of Pennsylvania has more poor
people within her borders, who need aid +,
than the whole population of Kansas yet
who is so foolish as to 60 before our Legis-
ture and ask for an appropriation of this
kind. The good old rule. that charity
begins at home has been reversed in
this instance.
We have heard it remarked that the
majority of the members of the present
Legislature were not accountable beings,
The truth Of this remark is being more
fully realized every day. They have been
guilty of nearly everything that is wrong,
except of committing suicide, and for this
task they are too cowardly.

is, to di,inherit all the Southern heirs

coveting all the.tsrritcrial portion which
has been purchased in common, to which

Notwithstanding all the evils that are upon
our country at the present time, one of

RayWe are informed that FIVE Repub
lican Senators voted against the confirma
ton of Mr.. Bates, of Missouri, and Mr..
Blair, Of Maryland, as members of the
Cabinet, the chief reason assigned being
that they hailed from Slave States. We
wonder If this is not sectional enough for
the most extreme.
We would advise those five patriots to
remove from the Capitol Of the Nation, as
it is surrounded iby Slave States, that if
they persist in remaining VIII ere they are
surrounded by barbarians," they may
lose their refined temperament, or have
their virtue impeached. We hope they

Tho Tariff.

One of the closing acts Of the last Con.
gress, was to change the Republican Ia
riff of 1857, by which our national Treas
ury was rendered nearly bankrupt This
change was no doubt brought about ty the
accession to power of the present party.
In 1857, this same party reduced the Tar
if of 1916, and thereby have rendered
the Treasury bankrupt; now, however,
they turn square arou::d and repeal their
own act, and enact law which will in
crease the revenues of the government
nearly $40 100000 and 20 show how shat.
low their tariff proclivities are, we need
only refer our readers to the fact, that
President Lincoln has surrounded HIM
self With an entire free trade Cabinet,
with the bare exception Of Mr.. Cameron,
and him. they stick into the War Departs
ment, where he can have no influence; !;
while Mr., Chase, an ultra free-trader, is
put into tho Treasury Department. In
order to illustrate still further the hypoc-
racy of tho Republican party, wo pro-
duce the sentiment which in debate upon
the bill passed between several leaders
of this tariff party:
During an incidental debate, Mr..
Lovejoy, Republican, of Illinois, opposed
an increase Of the tar on iron, either for
horse shoes or rings for the snouts Of
swine; and he proposed to reduce the duty
on skates which were used by ladies as
well as gentleman for hs,llhful exercise.

"Mr. Campbell, Republican, of Penn.
sylvania, earnestly denied that the bill
was for tho interest of Pennsylvania any
more than for producers in all parts Of the
county.
Mr.. Loycjoy joined issue, denying
that the pro lucer was prot cctcd by the
bill"
Well does the Pennsylvania rem lrls
upon this subject that the Abolition
Rcpubli cans have but one principle in
common, and that is ncgroi'm. On all
other questions they agree to disagree

Backing Down." plot | !" plot!

Our usually discreet and amiablc neigh-
Dor of the Journal, has for along time been

Tnr ISAuGuRAL.-We this week publish
on our outside the inaugural address of
President Lincoln, in which, rs heretofore,
he persists in referring the public to his
speeches and the Chicago platform as the
embodiment of his policy-just as he did
at Springfield, few days after the cleo.
ton. He wishes the public to understand
tha, the latter is to be received as a lar by
himself and his party. We are, however,
no, aware of any legislative body ever
cnacting the Chicago platform into law.
We presume it has been done, or The Pro.
sidcnt would not say that it is a lao. We
have understood II to be like all the former
platforms of the eOpposition-to be ignored
as soon as the election was over.
The reference of the President TO his
speeches. is still mole unfortunate than TO
tho lar of the platform. The speeches, as
circulated by his party daring the late
campaign, contain some of the most OBJ
noxious sentiments on record strong
enough to satisfy the most radical Abol.
tionists in the country and this very
fact is the reason that the AboiitiNnists
nominated no candidate of their own.
After reading the speeches Of Mr. Lincoln
and the construction put upon them by
the immediate friends of the President,
they became fully satisfied that he was u
good enough radical for them TO support ;
and they did so.
The inaugural is open to precisely the
same construction as his specches-sui:ed
TO amy Interpretation and the President
nay hereafter pur,ue any line o. policy he
pleases, and he will be enabled TO prove
himself tight by his inaugural address.
