whose fraud James Buchanan was made Presi-

These are pleasant visions in which you are
INDUCING. gentlemen! and you nay think it un-
kind in u, 70 disturb yea in your dreams We

the flesh pots Of the Government, and know
your patriotic hearts are breaking with grief for
he dssoalion Of the Democracy and 1t is painful

| This il not the first time you have sent up an
sgoaizing cry for Change" change has
been made .>hs Cabinet already (though not at
Jour ssggestion). A democrat has been placed
III one Of the most responsible positions in the
Cabinet. Ysu AT first approved Of him because
hs Vas . Democrat, but hsding him At last to Dc
100 - 49,. - . ''----~s. Won nov
howl ios his removal. But, gentlemen dsaa-
popues. he 10 the kind OF Democrat whom the
President approves, and whom the people ap.
proves, and Ihs President will not remove hin
70 make room tor any Of your kind, though they
may possess the I" best minds in the country
some Of you may have very good minds. bal
some how or other, you don't think right.
so, assuming that there will be no change in
the Cabinet, what are you going to do about it
Does the Detroit Free Press endorse the decla
ration Of the New York Herald, that NO more
men will enlist while Secretary stanton remains
in salcs." We hope not; and yet We are pre-
pared from the recent course taken BY that pa
per, from the tone Of the article from which she
above extract u taken, and from . vivid recoi
lection OF it, threat made in the outset OF tn,
rebellion, that if the Government attempted u
coerce the rebels into SUBMISSION, the troops 60
from Michigan would receive "a fre in the rear
Ito look for opposition from it TO the sniistmen
of troops in this State, under the cali Of the Pres
dent. The Free Press, We know, claims t. b.
as loyal - any paper in the Union, bat it ha
q queer way Of exhibiting il loyalty. "W'
don't zee EN-" From the time Of the threa
above mentioned, down to the present, the bur
del Of its articles has been complaints agains
the Government il some Of ito branches: abus'
Of nenbers Of the Cabinet; Of Generals in tn
field aad Trades against abolitionists and aboli
tionism, with seldom . word in denuncistion o
rebels and the rebellion, opposing con6scation
while loyal Dsmscrass OF the South favor it, sp
posing taxation 1t the same time that il opposes
con6scatioa, and in this way opposing all meant
Of carrying ON the war.
We say again ws hope the Free Fress may NO

10 case there shall be NO chsage in the Cabinet
and that our hope may be realized, We warn ou
aniabls brethren Of that paper in time. Such I
course would be nothing short Of Treason, ans
we understand that forts lafayette and WarreI
are yet in the hands Of the United States Gov
