The report in the papers last week that
Seward had resigned his place in the Fed
eral Cabinet turns out, to be ale. There
10 no little bad feeling and cross purposes
among the constitutional advisers or Mis-.
tar Lincoln; but Oilygammon declares he
shall not think of resighing npiil .snch
time as Abraham may signify desire for
him TO depart in which contingency he
will gladly seek the shades. Of retiracy
never more to emerge into public life
SO ends that canard, ria Charlottesville
and Lynohburg.
A war meeting was recently held at the
Federal Capitol, whereat the King of the
Yankee Doodles, like one Of his illustri.
Gus predecessors, opened his mouth and
spake, We do not mean that he was in
.duced in the same way, for no angels but
fallen ones are ever seen near that city
Of denominations. But Abe spoke never.
theiess While denying anything like
rupture, he frankly admitted there was
trouble in the wigwam-a want of har.
mony in his cabinet, and mutinous symp.
toms in the camp; but the cohesive pow
er Of public aud private plumber would
probably hold them together while lon
ger. Mcclellan and Stanton were good
fellows, and nobody was to blame, though
it could no longer be. denied that some
body is getting hurt. Rebellion, however,
must be wiped out cost what it might
Its fertile plains and green savannas must
be people6 and held by newrace. Abe's
traddle, all sound and fury, sisnifying
nothing, like every thing that has the
aromatic scent of the niger about it was
received with screeching applause by the
Sodomites, who seem to be plodding in
blissful ignorance of the storm gathering
above their heads.
A large meeting was held at Indianap
oils few days ago, to give form, shap.
and substance to the opposition to Lin
coins war policy. Large numbers wer
present. and speeches made By wickliff
Of kentucky. Carlile of Virginia. Rich
srdson of Illinois, and Voorhees, of In
diana. ia which the policy Of the Fede
raj administration was denounced ant
the determination enunciated to with
draw from its support unless the abolition
programme is at once abandoned. Mr.
Crittenden was advertised to be present
but failed TO come to time. The meetin
was the largest ever held in the State @

Per contra, meeting was held at Mi
Taukie, Wisconsin, about the same time
