The New LoAN.-When the new Treasury
loan was emitted it was with the greatest diff
Guilty that bids could be obtained for the first
five millions at twelve per cent. This want of
confidence was occasioned by the fact that vio-

were in possession Of the department. BY .
judicious change Of men revolution of public
sentiment has taken place in regard to tho
loan, and upwards Of twelve millions have been

from nine to eleven per cent, thus cffccting a

CABINET MAKING UNDER DIrFIcUITns-It
would seem that "Old Abe Lincoln finds Ca
binet making much more difficult business
than rail splitting; for, Notwithstanding that he
has plenty Of timber at hand, and any quantity
of journcymen to help him. in the shape Of sd-
visers and counsellors from every part OF the
country, yet be has made but sorry progress in
the construction of his Cabinet. For weeks
past the railroad and telegraph lines of Illinois
have been doing thriving business on the
strength of the Cabinet making tradc-the for
mer by the transmission Of Office seekers and
The agents of Office seekers, and the latter by
the continual stream of dispatches from the
North, the South, the East and the West, flying
like the dove Of Noah, TO the ark Of black re-
publican safety in the little village Of Spring
field. But all to no purpose; for up TO this time
there are only two members Of the new Cabinet
selected-Mr. Seward and Mr.. Bates-and only
one Of these is a live statesman, for Bates has
been dead and gone this many day. Curious
enough too, they were both competitors of Lin
celn in the race for the Presidency-Mr.
Seward as the strong candidate Of strong
wing of the party, and Bates as the candidate

There has been some talk of embodying in
the new Cabinet one Gideon Wcllcs, an old
Connecticut fossil, who has been dead theae
twenty years-dead and buried, with the grass
upon his grave grown SO long that it almost
hid bis tombstone-but some Old Mortality, in
his researches among the relics OF past ages,
appears to have dug him up, and, we believe,
had considerable trouble in getting affi-
davits to prove that he is really alive.
In his palmiest days the fossil Welles was not
much to boast Of We remember him in Jack
SONS time as small editor down in Connecti-
cut-great only in getting little Offices for little
people; and the wonder is how Mr. Lincoln

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE SAVING
THE UNoS.-The Democratic State Committee
have issued call for a convention of delegates
from the party, to assemble at Albany on the
3lst inst, for the purpose Of saving the Union;
and in their circular they prate about "the
alarming condition of our country" "the ext
genccs Of public affairs" about s'saving the
country from the evils of domestic wars" and
go forth. What humbug il is for men like the
Democratic State Committee to talk in this way,
just as if it was not politicians of their stamp
on the one side, and fanatics like the antsla-
very parsons on the other, who reduced the
country to its present calamitous condition.
The object Of this convention, it is plain to
be seen. is simply to endeavor to reconstruct
the broken down party, and take advantage of
the eyigencies of the times for mere political
and personal motives. The democratic party
is dead and rotten; II has fallen by its own cor
ruption, and the republican party will soon fol-
low 1t, the seeds Of the same disease being s0wn
in its system 80 deep that no art or skill can
save it No party nor any set of politicians can
save the country at the present crisis, and il is
an impudent scheme on the part OF the Demo-
cratic State Committee TO call convention for
any such pretended purpose.
The committee say in their circular that
conservative men of all classes call upon our
time honored party 10 co operate with patriotic
citizens elsewhere" &C., &c. This is not So

THE Cry POLITICIANS IN THE CRISIS. In the
present alarming condition Of the country,
while almost all classes of the community are
casting about for hope and guidance, the city
politicians appear to be nearly in comatose
state. They do not seem 10 take any interest
in the revolutionary crisis through which VIC
are passing. The republican politicians arc
absorbed in making out the slate for all the
Offices to be filed after the 4tb OF March in
the Custom House and Post Office, while the
democrats who have no slate to fill up, are
hanging around the City Hall-like yulturcs

IMMENSE INFLUX OF SfEciE.-The Asia brought
out million and a half Of specie, making up
about ten millions received from Europe since
the panic set in. The consequence of this drain
has been that the Bank of England has been
obliged to raise its rate Of discount to six per
cent, and the Bank of France to five and half
These rates are far from having reached the
maximum. Notwithstanding that the con-
clusion Of peace with China has stopped the
drain eastward, il will be more than counter
balanced in the spring by the commencement Of
hostilities against Austria and general arming
of the European governments. As regards
its flow in this direction, there do not appear
TO be any probabilities of its proxmate cessa-
ton. Altogether the position of the European
governments and populations is no more re-
assuring than cur own. The infatuation of
political theorists and anarchists promises to
plunge both the Old and New Worlds into q
state of distress and confusion which it will
take years to remedy.

In the South will not proceed further in their
operations until the expiration of Mr.. Buohan-
an term OF Office. This is sign that the more
sensible OF the secessioni,ts are getting the
upper hand, and that the ardor Of The mob Is
begilring to cool. For the next thirty days,
then, we have an armistice and guaranty that
the federal property will not be molested.
Notwithstanding this action on the part of the
authorities of South Carolina, it is still evident
that we are On the verge of civil war, the most
fearful calamity that can befall a nation. The
South is already in arms. In the North Gov

"for any emergency the Legislature of
this State is asked for an appro-
priation of half million dollars, to
be expended in munitions of war and the
new Governor of Massachusetts, has ordered the
militia to be put upon war footing. People
seem to have made up their minds that a col
iision is inevitable, and the country is
rushing into deadly peril without stopping to
count the cost. All this is doue through the
recklessness and stupidity of the politicians.
We are, altogether. thirty-four millions of peo-
pie, and we desire, more than anything else,
to live together in peace and unity, if the
latter is possible, but in peace at all events.
There are a few thousands of crazy people in
the North and the South who are seeking to
pull down the government, with the hope that
they may profit by the ruin of others. But
if, at the bidding of this handful of
maniacs, the several sections of the coun-

A LESSON roR nIE ABoLrrosIsrs.- The anti
slavery fanatics of Massachusetts, are In the
habit Of quoting largely from the writings and
speeches OF the leading English abolitionists in
support OF their pestiferous doctrines. Will
their organs. have the honesty to give insertion
to the recent letter Of Lord Brougham in reply
to the invitation TO attend the John
Brown anniversary in Boston? We apprehend
not. Some OF the sentiments in this letter are
too strongly condemnatory Of their course for
it to prove paiatable to them. The writer
says:-.No one will doubt my earnest desire to
see slavery extinguished but that desire can
only be gratifed by lawful means-a strict re-
gard to the rights Of property-of what the
law declares to be property and con-
slant repugnancc 10 the shedding Of blood"
Here il the whole difficulty between the re.
publicans and the sccessionists resolved in
single sentence. Aud yet, in spite of such
strong expressions Of opinion from one Of their
latoritc authorities, the former are determined
to plunge the country into all the horrors Of
civil war rather than conoede the protection

E9-A OXE Hous. DocToR ARRESTED
FOR 4 PETTY TuErr.-Ou Tuesday evening
last, Dr. Henry Rocder, who has been for
some time in the habit of lonling about
the liquor store of Mr.. Dolmeycr, on Mar
kct Square, slipped around and stole three
half dollars out of the money drawer of
tina, institution. Roeder was standing in
the door talking to an old gentleman who
had charge OF the place, and all at once he
commenced shivcring, said he was cold
and started back toward the stove to
warm himself Instead of going to the
stove, lie went behind the counter and
holding AN old newspaper in one hand, as
if iutently absorbed with its couteuts, ran
his other hand in the drawer, under cover
of the paper, aud took out the money!
The old gentleman had suspected Roeder
for some time, aud on this occasion deter
mined to watch him, and SO caught him in
the act. A warrant was sworn out and
Roeder was arrested yesterday morning by
officers Fender and Scroggins. lie was
taken before Alderman Dulty and commit
ted to jail for trial.
When the old gentleman detected Roe
der, he instantly seized him by the throatp
and raising an iron poker, threatened to
kill him ifhc didn't condense.
