VOTING AGAINST SOUTHERN MEN.
All the members of the Cabinet were con.
6rmed by the Senate unanimously, except Mr..
Bates and Mr.. Blair, against both of whom
Messrs. Mason, Bragg, Clingman, and Mitchell,
(the new Senator from Arkansas,) recorded
their votes. They did so, according to the
States, because unpiliny that any gentleman
from the slare States should go into the Cabi
net" We doubt if they would themselves as.
sign such a reason, while their partisans are
complaining that the slave States are not al
lowed sufficient representation in the Cabi.
net They would hardly be willing to say for
themselves that they desired purely Northern
and sectional Cabinet. And yet, what excuse
can they give for this attempted prescription
of men, merely because they were Southern
men, it not being pretended by anybody that
Messrs. Bates and Blair are not personally fit.
ted for the offices to which they have been ap.
pointedr Does it become the especial cham

whose only fault it is, that they were born and

The CABINET.-The Stiffness Of all that is
said by the sensation press, Of division in

parent to everybody. Divisions may arise in
Cabinets upon questions which did not exist
when they we're formed, but to suppose this
Cabinet to be divided at the start, is to impute
personal dishonor to some Of its members.
The Presidents policy was declared in his In.
sugural on the 4th, and no gentleman could
properly have accepted place in his Cabinet
on the 9Th, who did not substantially concur
in that policy. There is not the slightest found.
alton for the paragraphs on this subject in the
New York Herald and other papers of that
stamp. Gov. Seward, who is conspicuously
paraded by them rs A" conservative is not the
man to have accepted the Premiership, if he
did not concur in the Inaugural, nor is there
any shadow of ground for the belief that Gov.
Chase, who is conspicuously paraded as " radi-
cal," goes farther, or desires to go farther, than
the President has gone.
