Indiana State sentinel., 1861-01-09

The home organ of Mr.. LINCOLN gives the IL
linos Democracy "due credit for patriotism and
devotion to the Union," and suggests they should
duties" The Springfield Register thus responds
to these sentiments:
Mr.. Lincoln, while calling on the Democracy
to sustain him, must do something himself to-
wards preserving the Union. He must recognize
that Union as endurable as it was originally
framed-''part slave and part free" He must
direct his denunciation at that notification at the
North which has led to secession at the South.
He must remember that though he secured ma
jOrity of the electoral vote, he had but little more
than third of the popular vote-that in pro-
claiming his undying adherence to his own pecu-
liar dogmas, he flies in the face of two-thirds of
the people of the country, and that however con-
frmed he may be as to the correctness of his own
position, his policy can not become law until
enacted by the peoples representatives. Hence,
in the present excited state of the country there
can be neither good sense or patriotism in fiaunt
ing his creed in the face of the popular majority
against it,
The Illinois Democracy are for the Union, for
the Constitution as it is, and for the enforcement
of the laws under it. But they believe, with
jackson, that the Union can not be maintained by
"the mere coercive powers confided to the Gen
eral Government" but that "the foundation must
be laid in the affections of the people" Let Mr.
Lincoln go to work, as patriot and not as
partisan, to restore that lost affection that fratea
feeling which once made us one people, and he
will find the Illinois Democracy strong in main
tenance of his good work. Let him keep his eve
on and heed the farewell message of jackson,
and jackson men, will not be 10th to render
their earnest backing.

vIr. LiucOIn,s Cabinet.

The New York Herald asserts, confidently,
that portion of the Cabinet appointments of Mr..
LINCOLN have been definitely agreed upon. 1t
names three-EDwARD BATES, of Missouri, for
Attorney General; DAVID WmMoT, of Pennsyl-
vdnia, for Secretary of the Interior; and JOHN c.
Fremont of California, for Secretary of War.
The telegraph, this morning, cOntradicts this ar
rangement, by giving to Mr.. CAMERON, of Penn
sylvana the position of Secretary of the Treasury
The Herald also says that Mr. SEWARD will have
the mission to England; WIN. C. BRYANT, editor
of the New York Post, the mission to the new
Kingdom of Italy, and G. KoERNER, of Illinois,
the mission to Berlin. The last appointment will
upset the calculations of Hon. j. d. DEFREEs and
Hon. JONATHAN W. GORDON, the rival leaders of
the two wings of the Republican party of this
State, both of whom are calculating to succeed
Gov. WRIGHT. Our private advices from Spring
field indicate the selection of Hon. CALEB B.
SMITH for Cabinet appointment-either the In
terror or Post Office Department. AT all events
Mr.. SMITHS name is on Mr. LINcoLN's slate, and
the friends of our distinguished townsman are
"wide awake" We understand that Mr.. SMITH
donned new beaver a few days ago, and was
among the missing long enough for pilgrimage
to the Republican Mecca-Springfeld If so,
only the faithful are advised of the result

WASHINGTON, Tuesday, January i, /


"Not a drum heard, funeral note'
| have not the heart to wish any one a happy
New Year. because in the present state of affairs,
ii would seem to be a desecration of an old Gus
tom hallowed by family ties and associations.
This is the first New Years day that ever wit
messed during the whole course ofmy life that
not ushered in by some signs of rejoicing. But
even the boys are silent here. Not cracker
even was exploded and save the rumbling of
few carts over the stony pavements, gloomy quiet
reigned in the streets. Desolaton broods over
the city, as if the Angel of Death had breathed
upon it, the plague struck terror into the hearts
of its inhabitants All that is needed to parallel
Washington with Jerusalem in the days of her last
trbulation is the presence of the Prophet crying,
"Wo Wol to Washington and the inhabitants
thereof"
Why do the conservative masses of the North
remain silent Where are the stalwart guards of
the Democracy =? There is no time to be lost. The
changing notes of civil war are resounding from
every SIDE The Black Republicans in the East
are arming for coercion, and their motley hosts
will be down here on the 4th of March. Under

Let the people be warned in time, and gathering
in their majesty and power, let them demand
peace of the Government. / repeat, there is no
time to lose. Whatever is to be done must be
done quickly. B.
