What DOUGLAS Democrat has been called into
What DoUeLAs Democrat has been consulted as
to the prosecution of the war? Have any DouG-
Las Democratic Congressman been called into
the councils of Mr.. LINCOLN to advise in regard
to the troubles of the country--those who are
now identified with the Democratic party7 Has
any DOUGLAS Democrat received a civil appoint
ment from the present Administration, even down
to a village Postoffice? We ask Fair Play"
who is in the enjoyment of a fat office, how many
DOUGLAS Democrats will receive appointments
under the new tax law?
The ground taken by the Republicans is that
there should be no party during the war, but a
general union in support of the administration
Ii DOUGLAS Democrats have furnished the
greater portion of the rank and file of the
army, their claims are entitled to respect in both
civil and military appointments. In civil APP
pointments they have been entirely excluded-in
fact, the few who were in Office, have been sup
planted by Republicans. With but few excep-
tons, they have not received military appoint
ments. and some of those are charged up to the
Democracy who have repudiated their party to
obtain favor with the appointing powers.
With the Detroit Free Press we can say that
the claims of l 1865 1876 citizens wild voted for
STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS, Notwithstanding the alac
rity with which they rushed to arms to meet the
rebellion, have practically received no recogni-
ton whatever, by any branch of the Administra
ton, and this exclusion is the highest tribute
which can be paid to their truly unselfsh patriot
ism.
Will "Fair Play" recognize the claims of the
DOUGLAS Democracy by giving up the Office he
now holds to one of that class, and take up arms
to put down the rebellion? Is it not as much his
duty to offer his services, and if needs be, his
life, to his country in its present crisis, as it was
the man whom he succeeded in officer We fear
we shall not be able to chronicle such fair play on
the part of our correspondent.

Set-Startling RumOr.
WASHINGTON, July 25.
/ have endeavored to find out the truth in re-
gard to the various and conflicting rumors with
which the city has been filled for "A few days past,
touching IA reorganization of the Cabinet and a
change in the conduct of the war. 1t has been
"A work hedged around with difficulties, and no
man has vet been able to arrive at a perfect sJlu-
ton of the enigma. The reason of this. how
ever, | have ascertained, and it throws a food of
light on the whole subject. 1t is, that Mr.. Lin
coin himself is still undecided, as he always has
been, as to the future policy of the Government:
and has given impressions of the most diametri-
cally opposite character to different individuals
with whom he has conversed.
Another justification arises from the course
of Mr.. Seward. During the last few days, state
ments have been industriously circulated by his
friends to the effect that he is, and always has
been, a conservative; that his course has always
been shoped 50 as to concilitate the South and
win them back by love rather than by force; that
he is opposed, and always has beer, to emancipa-
ton, confscation, prescription, abolition. pillage
by our armies, and arming the slaves. Now, no
man ever had any cause to believe this of Mr..
Seward. No man here ever did believe it, and
many never will believe il. | will believe it, and
will rejoice to believe il, if it can be proved.
But Mr.. Seward, and all other men, will he
Judged by their acts. Ever since he has been
Secretary Of State, he has striven with all hs
might to give tone to the Administration and to
control the Government. The President. mex
perienced ia national politics, ana overwhelmed
with responsibilities THAT would have tasked to
the utmost the genius of a Napoleon, did entrust
to Seward the conduct of the administration
The time for Cancellation was when the new ADJ
ministration came into power; when the Inaugu-
raj Address was being prepared. Ii is certain that
at that time Mr.. Lincoln was in Stewards hand,
like clay in the hands of the potter. But was
there anything like Cancellation in the Inaugural
Address. or in the first measures of the Admins
tration7 Not a word. Not a sign OF il. The
address bresthed war in every line. 1t was rs
yet only the LIST Of March. The South was ter
ribly excited, but there was no war yet. The
Senators and Representatives of the South were
still in Congress. The ears Of the South we're
directed with painful attention to Washington.

PROCLAMATION PoPE-This windy General.
whose inflated dispatches have been loading the
telegraph for some weeks, is pretty well under
stood in Indiana. where he will fail to make a
sensation. unless he does something. He must
wipe out by deeds the remembrance of his treat
ment of lndiana's brave soldiers-gassy words
won't do it. We copy the following from the
Cincinnati Gazette, as an act OF justice TO one of
the many persons whose feelings this hero has
trsmpled upon TO elevate himseIf-or to create
an idle sensation:
military INFLATtoN.-ln the poverty Of spirit
which has resulted from military incapacity. the
public is willing TO accept even proclamations and
general orders as current coin for acts. This
kind of currency, like the financial medium, has
been considerably inflated. and is liable to depre-
citation thereby. A specimen of this generalship
was gIvea, a few day ago, in an order Of General
Pope. which was at once proclaimed to the world,
declaring that, whereas Capt. Samuel X. Harrison
bad deserted from his company and gone TO New
York. a reward Of five cents was offered for his
apprehension. Capt. Harrison has replied to this
bigh-toned specimen of vigor through the New
York papers. he says:
MY resignation, unconditional and immediate,
was written, offered 70, and accepted by the Colo
mel commanding. a day or two previous to my
leaving Said resignation was necessitated by
an injury received while in the performance Of my
duty, rendering me totally unable to discharge
the duties devolving upon me; therefore, by the
advice of many Of my fellow officers, including
both the Surgeons of the regiment, / resigned.
For no other cause could / have been induced to
leave the army"
An officer, disabled in the discharge of his
duty, and whose resignation had been accepted,
has thus been advertised 10 the world as a de-
serter, purely for a military sensation. Not one
in a thousand Of those who saw the charge will
ever see the correction. IL is the duty of Gen.
Pope to repair this injustice, so far as he can re-
pair il, BY a similar proclamation And then it
may be suggested that acts are a coin not liable
70 depreciation.

notice of the death of Ex-President VAN BUREN,
says:
He devoted the latter part of his life to the
composition of the history Of the Democratic
party since the formation of the Government.

his final sickness closed his labOrs. He had ap
pr ached the era Of his own Administration

he was most able 70 treat 1t is to be hoped that
