Resignation OfSecretary Cam
erGn.

One of the most acceptable items of
news which came over the wires during the
last week, was the announcement of a
change in the Cabinet. Mr.. Cameron. the
Secretary of War, has retired, and Hon
Z. NJ Stanton, Democrat, has been ap-
pointed in his place.
Ever since the modification of Mr.. Cam
eron's report by the President, his retire.
ment from the Cabinet has been looked for.
The President, however, to appease the
wrath of the rugnacious Pennsylvania
has made him Minister to Russia, in place
Of Cassius NJ. Clay, who has resigned the
post to take part in the war.
Mr.. Cameron's Abolitionism, coupled
with his dishonest management of money
matters, rendered his resignation or re-
moval imperative. He chose the former.
Mr.. Stanton is not very generally known,
but if he can't manage the affairs of the
Office Of Secretary of War better than Mr..
Cameron did, he had better not make a
trial.

Jim Lane.

This notorious cut throat and robber hiss
won his case in the United States Senate
over +. z. Stanton, who contested his seat
In that body. The vote in his favor was
large.
Having triumphed in this matter. it is
presumed that he will leave for the West

tit out an expedition and to make war on
the rebels in his ewn style. Hence, we
may soon expect 10 hear of robberies. out
RACES and murders on the grand scale
Lane is schooled in these and his calous
heart is dead alike to the inspirations of "a
triOtism or the claims of humanity.
1t was Lane who established the reign Of
terror in Kansas. To him are we mainly
indebted for the origin of the difficulties
that terminated in the destruction of our
national prosperity and peace That he
should be commissioned now to reopen his
barharic system of warfare by President
Lincoln rs as unaccountable to us as it is
Objectionable

out melting servile instructions amongst
the slaves and waging warfare against
the constitutional rights and institutions of
the loyal citizens of the South, there is no
hope for the future. 1t is such appoint
ments as that of Jim Lane that are running
the country. Better that such men be ais
lowed to remam in obscurity, at least as
far as commands in the army with free Ii
cense to carry out their dangerous AboIi-
ton notions are concerned.

Hunting Them out.

We arc pleased to notice that our consti
tutional convention is investigating the
condition of our finances and ferreting out
the swindlers and thieves who have iufest,
ed our State capital for years past. AL
ready considerable progress has been made
in bringing to light the pilferings, and it is
unprecedented that astounding disclosures
will attend future inquiry.
1t is moderately estimated that enoupb
has been discovered to warrant the conclu
sion that over million Of dollars have
been unlawfuly and feloneously extracted
from the public treasury by the corrurt
cahal that have control of our State We
cannot say as to the correctness of this es-
innate, but it is notorious that a certoin
Clique, confined not entirely to the party at
present IN power, have been fed from the
State treasury with unsparing hands. In
deed, they have had matters their own
way and, if reports be true, have availea
themselves of the opportunity to benefit
iheir pecuniaTy conditions at the expefse
of the State.
Hence it is incumbent upon the peoples
representatives. row in session at Sprino-
field Tor the purpose CT preparing ne "
constitution, to call the perpetrators Of the
v'ilianies to an account and to provide the

The Cause ofthe War,

The Abolitionsts, the craven towards
who are continually slanderiug the Presi
dent and General Mcclellan because they
don't order an advance but who are very
cautions to keep out Of the range of secess.
ion bullets themselves, are necessarily ar.
guing that slavery is the cause of the war,
and that it must be wiped out before the
war can &c brought to termination
Now, the superstition that slavery had
anything to do in bringing on the war, is
simply ridiculous. On the other hand, it
is Abolitionism, not slavery, that is the
cause Of our terrible national calamities
IF it had not been for the seeds of disunion
and sectionaism and hate sown in our So
cial circles, churches and politics, by the
Abolitionists, peace, harmony and prosper>
ity would now reign over our land.
Therefore, it is Abolitioni,m that must
be blOtted nut and exterminated before
peace. happiness and the Union can be re.
stored. And the sooner the people set
themselves about it the better.

The New Constitution.

five may judge from the proceedings Of
the convention so far, the new constitution
will be framed in accordance with the
fundamental maxim of Democracy.
The delegates, at least a majority of
them, are sound en- all questions requiring
the action OF the convention. Among them
are some of the most eminent jurists aud
best men of the State. When we reflect
that a majority of the conventit n is embrac
ed of such men as French, Buckmaster.
Brooks, Starne, Allen, Goodspeed Paddock,
Jackson, Purple, Singleton, Burr. Ross,
Armstrong, Manning and Hacker, we have
nfdence that the constitution will reflect
the true priucil les of government.
The great end which is al, ne worthy of
the efforts Of the champions of Democracy
and the peoples rights. lie it to institute the
natural system in all matters both of pol-
tiles and political economy. The iustitu-
ton of u wise and frugal government, which
shall restrain men from irjuring one an.
other, leave them otherwise free to regulate
their own pursuits of Industry and improve
ment, and not take from the mouth of labor
the bread it has earned, is contamination
earnestly hoped Scr by myriads of trueheart
ed Democrats
Therefore, let our convention aim to sim
/ pEfy government. Let the Democratic
members especially see to it that the constr
| tuition will coufne the action Of cur Lcgis-
latures in future to the fewest purposes
compatible with social order and the pros
| perity of the State. We need but few leg
islative enactments TO accomplish this OBJ
ject. The truth is, we have been governed
too much. 1t was the remark of the illus,
trous Andrew jackson that there are no
necessary evils in government. Its evils
exist only in its abuses. If government
would confne itself to equal protection, and,
as heaven does its rains, shower its favors
alike on high and low and rich and poor, it
would be an unqualified blessing" Any
one who will take glance at society, and
survey the vast disparity OF condition il
presents, will discover that the true system
Of legislation has not been carried out, and
he convinced that there is some great and
prevailing error in our statute book
By every consideration of Democratic
truth, simplicity should be the aim of our
constitute, makers. Compare the nations
OF the earth, and see if simplicity, prosper
ity and refinement are no: always found
together, in whatever respect the compari>
8 IL is instituted. Let US look at those gov
ernments which are the most complex, and
we will find that they who live under them
are the most wretched. As governments
approach the natural system, the people
rise in dignity and happiness.
The new constitution must guard against
the evils of corporations. shinplasters, and
special privileges to any one class or ass9-
citation of men, to receive the sanction of
the people. And the frame work already
blocked out, gives us confidence that it will
be sound on these points. There never was
a better time to get up good constitution,
and if one be not presented that will not
commend itself to the approval of the peo-
pie, the fault will not be theirs
