The immediate conflict in the Cabinet is upon
the proposed attempt to hold the forts and 'ehfor
the laws. Mr.. Seward advocates strcan2udoSusly tho
let-alono policy. He would overlook the treason
so rampant in the South, wouldYmake no attempt
to collect the revenues, opd, Unnecessary as a nil
itary Or q political necessity, would, undoubtedly
give up Fort Pickens as well as Sumter. Ills idea
is that, if let alone, the seceders will soon come
back, and thus the Union will be preserved or, il
no. exactly SO, he believes the Southern people
will become SO reasonable by aud BY, that a few
concessions to their peculiar institution will allure
them back into the old Union.
The Chase Republicans, if, l may for present
purposes SO. name, them, believe in an active policy
of the government at once. They, argue that the
revenues should .e collected in The seeded ports,
and if additional, legislation is neeessar7, that
Congress should be Immediately called together
for tina; purpose. Or if this governmert is. I'm,
willing, or the people of the loyal States arc nm
willing, to mako q war for the Union, then that
the slave Republic shall be Recognized, at. once,
and the line be drawn between. slavery and free
dom, loyalty and disuniop. This, they argue,
would be infinitely preferable to, q d~o-nothing poll
cy, Tor they believe the inevitable result of such u
policy will be, first, .he utter, Decentralization of
the government and tho people; second the indie
pendence of the rebel Repubie;' and third, the
final subjugation of every free State by The South

would join the only governmept possessed Of ep.

complete dominion. over the Republic, .~
During the week, large numbers Of Republicans
have called on the President to urge a more deci.
ded policy upon him, and in eome- cases the rep
reseutations made to him have 5eenycopehed in
gerry strong language. Senator Wade il, reported
to have said to him, on Thursday last "iSir, if the
Administration pursues its pTesen! policy, in thir-
ty days you. will belief. Dagis's prisoner, Of waE!Y

That's the point.""T The. President confessed tina,

Chase ia, a power in The Cabinet, and has great in
faence oyer Mr.. Lincoln, Nor is il SO. .certain
that Mr.. Lincoln willn 0 stand by his own9ideas
in this crisis. The appointment of Mr.. Giddipgs

to the Chief Jnsticeshipg of Nevada, Territory, Of
j. s. Pike, Of The Tribune, as, minister to. she
Hague, shows that Mr.. Lincoln does not mean to
ignore the Radicals, or, what they are termed
here, 1the ASolltionists"l Of the. party. Still, il il
true that there is trouble in the Cabinet, that the
members disagree very widely and, Fundamentally
as to the policy Of the government, and it would
not be at all surprising if a rupture occurred am
day, and such is the belief Of most Of the Repub-
licans here. L'9'" & u oB ness

too late to save The Union, aud that recognition OIL
the Southern Confederacy is the best thing -tbat
remains, do not mean TO say that many Repub-
licans here favor the Immediate recognition Of The
seeded States as a government, hut the number
is increasing, and a majority here and elsewhere
would rather acknowledge it at once than 40 on
longer with the do-nothing policy. Tho worst o.
it is, no one seems to have any idea what is to b
done in the future, The Tribune, one dag, has a sto
