Lincoln9s Cabinet.

Lincoln7s Cabinet.
Since the formation OF this Government,
there has never before been collected to-
gether such all amount Of uninitigated
evil, in one body, that al present con-
centered in Washington i'll Abraham
Lincoln's Cabinet. Ii Satan, himself, had
been consulted and commissioned to select
the Cabinet be would have found it diff
cult, it not altogether impossible, to have
gathered together from the four quarters
Of the globe, body OF men possessed with
more implacable hatred to the South
and her Institutions They have done
nothing for years, but abuse and v:lify her
people they seem to have We'd with each
other TO ascertain who could heap upon
her the vilest and basest epithets. First
on the BLACK LIST, comes that arch-traitor,
WM. FL. SEWARD,
A man who has uttered falsehoods enough
upon The South ,ofil good sized volume.
This ''patron Saint was born in 1901
He is the most cunning and subtle of all
the members of the Cabinet, aud by far
the most dangerous He is at present
said to be in favor OF ''Union," in order to
carry out more folly his infamous designs.
Ii ear him: Formerly | called your at
tention away from the Union when it was
not in danger, to the principles of freedom
when they were III danger so now, hav
ing secured firmly the distinctive princi
piles freedom AS we Republicans under
stand them, [ call your attention away
from those principles not in danger, 10 the
Union which is i'll danger; and we mus
preserve the UtfoE as the means OF secur-
ing the triumph Of those principles. y
There's Union with a vengeance. Next
comes
SALMON T. CHASE,
Another negro worshipper, who declared
that the negro was the equa of the
white man and is in favor of extending to
them the right of suffrage. This rare epe
cimen was born in New II mpshire IL
1SOs,aid al early an age emgrated to Ohio,
where h:S haired to the South, and his re-
fusal to surrender up tugitives from justice,
have made him popular with the doni-
nant party in that State. He acknowl-
edges no law preventing kidnapping, and
was in favor OF refusing the use OF the Jails
in Ohio to secure >runaways. A tit asso-
ciate tor Mr.. Seward.
SIMEON CAMERON,
Secretary of War, served an apprentice
ship TO the printing business at Harrisburg
and subsequently worked as a journey
man i'll Washington City. We are aston
ished that man who enjoyed slch privi-
ieges as these, should have wandered so
far from the path Of recttnde as to have
sold his ght for a mess Of ''pottage,"
and there are many Judases still upon the
earth.
GIDEON G. WELLEs,
Secretary Of the Navy, is native Of Con
recticut, and a we'll known contributor to
the partisan press He has heen identi-
| fled with the Republican party almost
| from its commencement, and is Il warm
supporter of the man Abraham. Another
| nomination that was elninently ''ft" to be
made.
CALEB r. SMITH.
| Secretary of the Interior, is a reneoada
| from the old Wing party. Becoming wind
br.ken and spawned, he was turned ont
to grass, but was taken mp and doctored
by the Republicans, and has since been
working quietly in the harness There is
no danger that he will ever set the sea on
fire. 1~
| Postmaster General, is a son of F. P. Blair,
one of the editors of the Washington
| Globe. Mr.. Blair contributed 81 600 to de-
| fend that midnight assassin, John Brow D,
and is also one of the endorsers of the nefa-
/ rious Helper. Another HhoPefnl selec-
! ton.
| EDWARD BATES,
| Attorney General, was, we are sorry TO
say, born il, Virginia. He labered hard
] TO secure the Presidential Nomination., bnt
the Republicans werc afraid TO trust him
at that time Failing in that he was vii
ling TO take any S'bone" that might be
offered.
There they are. Eight as precious po-
litical renegades as could well be found.
Each in tnrn aband oning their party after
/ they found there was no further chance to
grapple the spoils- Verify they have their
reward. We have neither time nor pa
Ifience 70 pursue this matter further. 1t is
Sndeed @hopefm' body.
