EDWARD BATES, OF MrssoURL-The prospect that
this conservative and justly popular statesman, IS
likely 10 become a leading member in the Cabinet Of
the new President, will be received in all parts of the
Union with delight. Regarding this political move,
the 81. Louis correspondent Of the Bulletin writes
Edward Bates, of this city, received a despatch
December 10, from Mr.. Lincoln, asking his iminedi-
ate presence Mt Springfield, and he left by the train
Of that afternoon. This visit j. taken to mean that
Mr.. Bates can have n seat in the Cabinet If he will
accept-aui his friends here assume that he will. As
he Is the first prominent politician who has been sum
moned to a conference, and as the conference 5 ems to
be a protrlctei one, there is room for belief that Lin
coin has accepted him as chief consultee and adviser.
If this is so, Mr.. Lincoln may be taken as having
adopted, in prospective, a conservative course, and
one that will be At war with the ideas of the ultra
Republicans. There is no doubt of Mr.. Bates con-
servatism III a general sense. He is, however, strong
IL in favor Of coercive mslsures towards South Caro-
lima and any other seeding State, and wants them
brought back to duty to the Union by force of arms if
they persist IN TSp'AiHS a fair compromise, or the
acts of an administration which shall make no war
upon their rights. He makes no secret of his coercive
policy, talks Of it daily here with his brother lawyers,
and displays much warmth on the subject. In the
midst OF a heated discussion the other day with an old
friend Of fifty years standing, but a political opponent,
he averred that he had an old sword, 4 relic of 1872,
which he would whet and carry to South Carolina 10
aid in putting down treason.
