HeA. Men of all parties rejoice that WILLIAM H. SEWARD is to be the leading member of the cabinet of President Lincoln; for men of all par ties have confidence in his abilities, and his pa triotism. Indeed, he is universally acknowledged to be the abest statesmen in the Union. Some objections have been made, in an influential quar- ter that his late speeches do not entirely square with the Chicago Platform, or with his own views as uttered on the stump during the late campaign, but from a careful perusal of those speeches, we cannot discov'c the inconsistency. We believe that at all times, Mr. Seward has expressed the convictions of his own mind after careful, honest and patient investigation Of the questions at issue The Chicago Platform was well constructed and embodied principles which received favorable verdict from the People, although many voted for the Republican candidates who did not stand up- on every one of its blanks. We agree with the Albany Journal, that so far as Freedom in the Territories is concerned, the objects of that Plat form have been accomplished, and that in deal- ing with the stern realities before us-Rebellion
 
 forms. .willin measure fade out of view. In deed, Judge Bates, whose appointment as a Cal inet officer seems to be acceptable to all Repub- licans, never stood squarely on the Chicago Plat form, and though zealously supporting the Re publican Nominees, stated during the canvass that that platform "did not fully conform to his view's,' though "far better than any published creed, past or present, Of the democrats" Surely if it is meet that Judge B. should be an adviser of a Republican President objection should not be made to the statesman, who of all others, has contributed most to the advancement and triumph of Republican Principles. If his conciliatory course has inspired confidence among the faith ful men of the Border Slave States, and enabled them the better to battle the secessionists we re- joice in it, and trust that the new administration under his advice, and that of his able associates will continue to conciliate and encourage the friends of the Union, so that treason and disunion may be stayed in their mad career.

 RESOLUTIONS.
 Reso!re@, That the Conattution was ordained and established by the People of the Uni cd States "n order 10 form more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, prov ic fer tlc common defence, promoe the general welfare, ami 10 secure the blessings O.! liberty; and that the same, when adopted and ratified by the people, became sacred bond ot Union for themselves and their posterity, through all coming time and generations.
 Resotred That in the language of Jackson's proclamation Of 1852, "the Constitution forms Government, not league: government in which all the people are represented, which operates directly upon the people individually, not upon the States; that each State, having ex- press!y parted with so many powers as to consti- ute, jointly with the other States, single na- tion. cannot from that period possess any right to- secedc, hecavsessueh secession does not break 2 league, but destroys the unity of 8 nation. To say tkat any Staternray at pleasure secede from the Union is ta say that the United States is not nation.
 Resolved, That no man, no combination of men, no community or State, and combination of communities or States within the limits of this country, can lawfully throw of or escape the obligation, supreme, and perpetual, of obedience to the National Government.
 R.soteed. That the Democratic Convention lately held in this State, by adopting resolution which openly proclaims the reasonable doctrines of .!r. Calhoun, in language significantly quoted from Mir. Calhoun himself, has given aid and comfort to the enemies of the Constitution and the Union, and has furnished new and startling proof of the truthfulness of their party claim that Democracy in Connecticut and Democracy in South Carolina are one and the same thing.
 Resoleea, That it is the part Of patriotism and duty to sustain the Constitution Of the country, the Union of the States, and the enforcement of the laws-and we hereby pledge ourselves to maintain, protect and defend separately, and unitedly, those great prineiplesof public liberty and national safety, against all enemies at home and abroad.
 Resolred, That for ths sake of peace, and especially for the sake of those patriotic men, who are struggling against Democratic treasonin Maryland Virginia, Kentucky. Tennessee and other Southern .states-the Republicans of this State are willing to meet them on common ground with any sacrifice of mere feeling or of interest, and we invite them to join us in declar- ing that :. the Union must and shall be pfeserv- ed
