A Committee of Congressman, COM
posed of majority of Republicans,
have found on exauininga number of
witnesses that Simon Cameron the then
Secretary of War, was guilty of the
crime Of defrauaing the Government
and of permitting it to be dcfrauded by
others to the amount Of millions Of dol
lars. The punishment inflicted upon
Cameron for this was to transfer him
from the Cabinet to a no less honorable
position, and in some respects more
honorable and important one than that
from which he was removed.
Gen Fremont was also found guilty
by the same Committee, and by another
one subsequently, of squaudering the
pablo money, bcstowing it on personal
favorites by the thousand, ten thousand
and hundred thousand dollars at time;
and guilty also of INSTRUMENTATION, vio-
lation Of the articles of war and of the
civil laws,.yet for all this, Gen. Ere
mont was only transferred from one
position of trust and power to another
of similar character
The Secretary of the Navy, Gideon
Welles, has been found, by the same
committee Of Congress, to have used
the public money in reprehensible
manner, yet Gideon Welles, despite
the public opinion and the almost un-
animous demand Of the public voice that
he be removed from the Cabinet, is re-
tanned in his position,
We might multiply these instances
of connivance with criminals, if not of
collision with them on the part of the
governing power. Yet the people are
told that the Administration is Patriot
ic, and devoted to the best interests of
the Government. Is this so can it be
so, when the evidence IS so strong
against it. This is thought for the
people which they may profit by con-
sidering dispassionately and carefully.

HAVE NE DEPARTED FROM TRUE
PRTNCJpIESs

1t i, well known to every reading
and rejecting man in the country that
from the inauguration of the present
Administration up to this moment OF
. its existence, there has been system.
attic effort to hide from the public eye
the abuses, and despotic tyranny of its
public officials ; that there has been a
persistent, despotic, tyranical, and un-
Necessary interference with the public
press in the exercise Of its constltu-
tional rights; that the writ Of habeaS
corpus has been constantly denied to
white men and citizens by those who
for the last twenty years have sought
to make it applicable to fugltives from
labor and from justice, and trials by
Jury have been denied to those arres-
ted without authority or warrant of law
and made the victims of the govern
ment officials. Our creed and the creed
of the Democratic party, upon this ques
ton may be found embodied in the
following extract from Jefferson's first
Inaugural ; read it, and decide which
you like best, republicanism as por-
TRACED in its history, or Democracy up
on such platform !:
"The diffusion of information and the
arraignment Of all abuses at the bar Of
public opinion, freedom of religion,
freedom of the press. freedom of the
person under the protection of habeas
corpus, and trial by juries impartially
selected-these principles form the
bright constellation which has gone be-
fore us and guided our steps through
an age of revolution and reformation.
The wisdom of our sages and the blood
Of our heroes have been devoted to their
attainment. They should be the creed
of our political faith, the text of our
civil instruction. the tombstone by
which to try the services Of those we
trust; and should we wander from them
IN moments Of error or alarm, let us
hasten to retrace our steps and regain
the road which alone leads to peace;
liberty and safety"

BucnANAN's CABINET IN LlNcoLN's Off
oEs.-The telegraph has already noticed the
appointment, confirmed by the Senate, of
Horatio King, as Commissioner under the
Emancipation act, to fill the vacancy occn-
stoned by the withdrawal of Berrett. "The
fact" says the New York Times telegram,
saroused storm of indignation among the
Republican Senators. They assert that when
they fought Buchanan's Administration out
of power, and MIR. Lincoln's in, they did rot
suppose the latter would call more three OF
Buchanan's Cabinet to assist him in admins
tering the affairs of the Government; but

remainder of Mr. Buchanan's Cabinet are
eligible for appointments from the Admins.
tration in an entirely different line. But Mr..
Lincoln wisely knows that he not only gains
strength with the people, but obtains faith
tul coadiutsrs, in appointing those who were
tried and found faithful among the faithlcss.'

4 BANKRUPT Law.

We notice that large number Of the
members of the u. S. Senate, aud its
leading members at the present time,
declare themselves ready to vote for a
proper and julicious bankrupt law, and
that the passage of such an act meets
the favor of a majority of that body,
Believing that law that will be just
to both debtor and creditor would result
in good to all classes, we look upon its
passage with favor.

1t is reported that the city of Dubuque has
an anti-tax association, whose main object is
to oppose the collection of the Federal tax.
This is denied by our correspondent. We re-
gard the report of such an organization as
groundless, unless, perhaps, the corspirators
in the Times office have organized it.
We are also informed that the emigration
from the East is pouring through that city
necessarily, five hundred teams having pass
ed through there in three weeks.

AN iCkNOFLEDGED Failure.

nv Al hNOF LIZ Dr l. II ran 1 ne.
Since the result of the recent cleo
tons has disclosed the bad odor in
which Republicanism is held by the
people Of the North, the Republican
members of the Legislature of New
York have met and taken steps for the
organization of ne,1 Party, thus
looking to an unconditional abandon
ment of their late organization, and an
admission Of its failure to accomplish
any thing good for the nation.
If the Democrats abandon their or
ganizatien under thc false cry Of this
Party, into whose hands do they pro
pose delivering for the future ofour his
tory, the State and Federal Govern
ments, and the dearest rights and in
terests of American freemen p
There is but one answer. In the hands
of the most intoleran. and proscriptive
party ever known to the history Of this
or any other people-the identical men
who through long series of years have
presistently struggled on to build up a
party antagonistic to the rights and in
terests of one half of the Union founded
by Washington and his patriot COM
peers-to those who for few paltry
Offices have taught the North that its
people and those of the South had sep
arato and opposing interests that de-
nanded not only social but political
separation who, by inAamatory
appeals to the pride and prejudices of
the North have first melted jealousy,
and then bitter hatred toward their
brothers at the South until they are
:,rrayed in deadly strife, the one section
against the other-anl who, when the
dark storm like pail everspreaa our
political horizon, elected men to the
Peace Congress that were opposed to
giving the deluded men of the South
one assuring word as to the safety Of
themselves or their institutions Ito the
1len who endorsed the fendish teachings
Of Helper, and declared that "the I'm
ion without a little blood letting would
not be worth preserving"
Can Democrats and patriots then, with
on, 50 much rs an effort surrender up
our country and its cherished iustitu-
tons to the control Of a party whose his
tory has thus far been written with the
blood and tears of American frcemen,
aud only .punctuated in corruption, in
failure and in wide spread and devasta-
ting ruin In vain do we appeal to its
past history for the adoption of one
single measure of public policy that will
add to the prosperity and happiness of
the people, or that will add greatness
to the country. When the sad results
Of Republican administration of the
Government arc examined, all men of
all parties and creeds must admit that
it has been a failure when the good
times of Democratic, are compared with
the bad times Of Republican rule. And
when we look at the reeking frau Is
every day perpetrated upon the Gov
eminent by the leaders of that party in
the confidence of the administration,
high in power, and in the name Of viz
tae, patriotism and liberty, stealing
their millions from nation struggling
to maintain its very existance, can we,
ehould We characterize it as aught but
failure, propasated in error, ended
In corruption!
