WARRINGTON, Jan. =.
A apecial dispatch to the Cincinnati Ga.
setts says.
IL 10 generally believed that the Cabinet,
| as remodellei, arc 10 favor OF taking v,gor-
| GUS measures for the protection Of tho forts,
TO-. about Charleston, and for the recovery
of the property now In possession OF TOE
South Carolina authorities. II seems quite
certain that the policy Of the Administration
ie about to undergo a radical change, and
that it will now be on the side OF the Union.
Mr.. Buchanan is sAid to be greatly enraged
ut the course of the Southern leaders toward
him, and will turn his back upon them. As
an evidence Of this, be sen. into the Senate
to day, the name of philadelphia as Col.
lector at Charleston, in place of Colcock.,
This is the most important event which
has lately transpired, and has caused the
greatest CONSERVATION among Southern men,
who regard il as meaning coercion. This
change 10 the course Of the Administration ID
owing doubles to the influence Of Stanton,
who is represented to DO man Of strong
will, great talents, and resolute supporter
OF the Union.
1t 10 surmised that the delay in sending in
the message on South Carolina affairs, grows
out of the necessity of making q radical
change in the first document prepared upon
this subject.
The report il renewed that Mr.. Seward
has some great compromise plan in prospect
which will satisfy the country. The rumor
to-day, comes from Democratic sources, and
do not place strong faith 10 it,

The South Carolina Commissioners are 10
a greatly perturbed state. On Monday at 3
.. m. the reply Of the President to the House,
and Barnwell, Orr and Adams, was made
out, and delivered by the Presidents Sec'y.
On its reception great joll6cation was
evinced at its non recognition OF the title OF
commissioners, BY which they designated
themselves.
The President refused to interfere with the
withdrawal Of the q. S. troops, saying: This
| cannot, and will not do lie announced
bis firm determination to collect the revenue,
and that the property now in the occupancy
OF the troops Of South Carolina must be
restored. The seizure Of the United States
Arsenal he considers as high. handed out
faee.-
The Commissioners are hors du combat at
the non-recornition OF their right OF office,
and that the President had gone over to the
Republicans and deserted his friends.

VIM. G. Bryant the distinguished editor
Of tho Nav fnrk k~sniHe Restr ~ = -Feaent
editorial, says:
The President OF the United States is a
traitor To hs country. We measure our
words when we express our s0lcnn convic-
ton thnt he ID one OF the parties 70 con-
spiracy TO overthrow our Governmont-to
| defeat the wishes of cur people, as expressed
at the late November election, and to trans
fer the City Of Washington and the Federal
property and archives to the hands OF the
Rebels.
He and his fellow conspirators dare not
allow the Government Offices TO pass into
other hands, and the public repositories 30
be inspected. They know the revelations
which the official records would make would
cover them with infamy. No measure, how
ever desperate, therefore, will be neglected
to prevs ut tho hidden deeds Of this Admin
istratinn from coming to light.
The corner atone OF this conspiracy was
laid last spring at Charleston. The Presi-
dent and his olnfeierates dare not trust even
their own partisans to succeed them the
Democratic National Convention was then
and there deliberately broken up and the
train laid which was designed to blow up our
Republic.
This, we believe, is now the general con-
vction Of the country. Every day contrib.
utes new proof Of it, and the conspirators
themselves no longer take ordinary pains 20
disguise it. Even the President himself
has the atrocity to denounce Major Ander-
son for having taken the obvious and only
means OF saving bis brave little garrison
from . massacre.
When the people Of the United States
once comprehend the diabolical purposes
which animate the controlling members of
the present Administration, and understand
that the Government is to be betray ed in or
der that their villanies for the last four
years mny not be disclosed, there will no
longer be- any danger, though the President
we're o hundred times more treacherous
than James Buchanan, and bis councillors
a hundred times more corrupt than Sec'y
Floyd.
There is q practical common sense which
underlies the American character, and . love
Of the Uoion with nil its glorious traditions,
which is stronger than treason and full of
resources. Before this, we venture to say,
every Governor in the Northern State has Ia,
ken such STEPS a. became him to put himself
ia readiness TO vindica.e the supremacy Of the
Constitution and the laws Of the Republic,
ehoud that duty 10 the course of Gods
providence be devolvei upon them, and when
the people realize the dangers which heset
the Ark of our political Covenant, it will be,
We are confident, as far beyond the reach OF
danger - the eternal principles Of truth and
Justice.

Tho proposal OF Crittcnden to adopt the
Missouri line, extended to California, as the
divisi IN between free and slave territory,
has been before Congress and the country
several times before, and has been as often
rejected. In lS48-six years before the
formation of the Republican party-Daniel
Webster made speeoh against it in the Sem

for the extension Of slave territory or the
admission Of a slave State. On the same

And yet, now we hear doughfaces abusing
Republicans as Atoitionists and agitators
for refusing TO accept terms OF compromise
which oil patriots in the North, led on by
Webster, rejected with sco.n in lS48.
CTYaucey, billiard, and other secession
ists, have openly avowed that it is not the
election Of Lincoln nor the personal liberty
bills that prompt them to advocate secession.
It's, they say, the sentiment against slavery
which prevails in the North apd which holds
slavery to BIO q moral and political evil
Until that sentiment is subducd and eradi-

That is precisely the trouble, and unless the

Of satisfying the shareholders in the long
run.

The recent meeting Of the "working men"
in Louisville, IL one al the m ost striking signs
OF the times. 1t was large and enthusiasts
ito gathering of that powerful class repre-
scented by Andrew johnson, of Tennessee,
and fully responsive to the spirit Of bis noble
speech in favor OF the Union, on the basis OF
the Constitution aud the enforcement Of the
laws.
We anticipate meetings of this sort in ev-
cry part Of the country, animated by the Same
patriotic purposes. But, most Of all, it is
manifest that Gov. Johnson has struck the
right chord to produce, ultimately, power
ful reaction throughout the Southern States,
10 opposition TO the factions and reckless
politicians of their own section, who are
earnestly laboring to break up the best and
most successful Government that ever exist
ed. We are glad to hear Of these move

when the people take the public affairs into
their own hands, North AMI South, there viii
be little difficulty in restoring harmony, and
redressing whatever zeal grievances either
section has sustained.-lcin. GAG.
