Cabinet Antagonism.

Ii is a well known fact that an antagon-
ism exists between members of Mr.. LIN
coIN's cabinet, and ii is supposed that
Mr.. SEWARD with Mr.. BLAIR and Mr..
BATES, constitute conservative element
in opposition to the extreme radical one
headed by Mr.. CHASE, with majority of
the remaining Secretaries. These two par
ties, says the Detroit free Press. differ
materially upon matters connected with
the progress and results of the war Mr.
SEWARD appears willing to save the Union
with or without slavery, making its resto-
ration primary object, the Importance of
which outweighs all other considerations.
Mr.. CHASE, who heads the opposition, is
radical Abolitionist, and appears to hold
that the Union must either be preserved
without slavery or not at all. These radi-
Gals fear that unless they can bring the
Southern States int o ntter subjection, the
Union of these States with the conserva-
tive elements of the North, would forever
place power beyond the reach of radical.
ism but power they must retain at what.
ever expense the Union, and whatever
else appears damaging to their prospects
must, if necessary, give way. Postmas
ter General BLAIR, in his recent speech
points out what course he deems it mos
advisable for the President to pursue, anC
one which will most efectually brin,

sections of the country. To what poin

No where else have we seen, condensed

alter war was forced upon US, have persistent

A correspondent of the Chicago Times
writing from Detroit says
The administration has had about enough
of Vallandigham TO make it wish it had let
him alone, and now one of the officers Of the
Cabinet has written to one Of his (Vallandig-
ham s) western friends advising him to take
certain steps, so as to give President Lincoln
some excuse for calling in Vallandgham

authority, member OF Congress. But also

knows for what he was banished or until the
people Of Ohio, greater than the man who
exiled him, call him home.

reasonably expect any propositions from

The End of the Union

We repeat that every battle fought in the
prosecution of this war diminishes, in pro-
portion to the slaughter and desolation at
tending it, the hope ofrcstoring the FEEDER
al Union. The following extract from
the Farewell Address of JACKSON should
be written in the heart of every lover OF
the ountry, for it expresses the whole
meaning of that Union which our fathers
established. General JACKSON said
But the Union cannot be preserved and
the constitution mainta ned, BY the mere coer-
Give power confided to the general govern
ment Its foundations must he laid in the af
fections Of the people, and in the protection
it gives to life, liberty, property and charac
ter. IL such struggle is ever begun, and
The citizens ef one section of the Country are
arrayed in arms against those of another, let
the battle result rs it may, there will be an
end of the Union, and with it an end to the
hopes of freemen The victory of the victor:
wovld not secure to them the blessings of lib
erty."

The Election.

1t matters not what shall be the result
of the Gubernatorial contest to-day, twill
ever be a source of pride to every Demo-
cratic in the State that he gave his suf-
frage for that tried patriot and statesman,
CLEMENT l.. VALLANpIGHAM. No man in
the nation represents more completely than
he does the fundamental principles upon
which our fathers constructed the Federal
and State Governments. He has made
himself great champion by fearlessly,
and with marked ability, maintaining those
principles amid the difficulties and dis q.
couragements which, during more than
two years past, all lovers of Constitution
al liberty have had to encounter Devot-
ed to the Union upon the original basis,
he has boldly met, on all occasions, the
men and measures that have aimed at its
overthrow, and so rendered himself the
peculiar victim Of the revolutionary and
destructive party in power. We believe
that, to-day, the enlightened judgment of
Ohio, expressed through the ballot-box,
will fully vindicate him. He has been
stricken down by the hand of arbitrary
power; he will be lifted up by the ire
pressible will of free and mighty people.
His name has been abused and villifed by
the hirelings of corrupt and imbecile
party the voice of great Commonwealth
will this day make him its chosen and
honored ruler.
But, if we be mistaken as to the result
Of to-day's election, we cannot be msta-
ken as to that verdict which history and
our own posterity will render. This con.
test will be known in all future time as 4
bold, brave struggle for liberty, and the
name OF VALLANDIGHAM thus associated
with it will be fixed, in enduring splendor
in the annals of popular freedom w
shall ever be proud of the humble labo
which we have cordially and earnestly de
voted to such cause, and such, we doub
not, is the sentiment of every Democrat il
Ohio.
If VALLANpIeHAM is chosen Governor
this State will bound forward to its origi
nal place of dignity as a sovereign membe
of the Union. Peace and order will pre-
vail in her borders. The people, su'taine
by the strong arm of the Constitution
will be happy and prosperous in the as
surance of all their rights and liberties

r4r Now That our State election is over,

RCNow that our State election is over,
what will tho Abolition papers substitute
for the vile abuse which, during the can
vas, they heaped upon that high-heNrted
patriot CLEMENT l.. YAILAEpIoHAN? ? No
man since the days Of ASDnEw JACKSON
was ever so bascly villifed, and yet SO
causelessly. We are confident, however,
that the lies which have been concoctcd by
Abolitionists to impair the fame of Val
LANDIGHAM will reooil upon themselves at
last with all the terrific force Of hurri-
cane, while we know that they have but
strengthed the faith Of every Democrat in
the great champion of liberty.

General Mcclellan.

The Abolitionists Of Pennsylvania used
the name of the brave General MoCLEl-
Lam to advance their villianous political
schemes in that State. The Philadelphia
Press announced that the General would
give his voice and vote to Governor Gun
TIN in the election which occurs to-day
The telegraph announces this morning
that General MCCLELLAN has written a
letter to Hon. CHARLES j. RIDDLE, of New
Jersey requesting him to deny the state
ment Of the Philadelphia Press and de-
claring his preference for Judge WooD-
WARD, the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor We are exceedingly grati6ed that
General MoCLELIAN has thus publicly
and unequivocally allied himself with the
Democratic party in its struggle against
the destructive policy of LINooLN's Adj
ministration. We can now understand
more fully than ever why it was that the
imbecile traitor who.administers Abolition
ism at Washington should have thrown
MCCLELLAN out of the public service. 1t
was simply on account of his personal in
tegrity and patriotism

When win the war End.

The radical press, as ever, is laboring to
convince the people that the rebellion is near
ly extinct, and that we need expect hut little
more lighting; and SO it has been since the
commencement of the war; and campaign has
followed campaign without as yet bringing
about any decisive resultant without breaking
the military force of the Confederacy When
we consider that rebellion is in possession of
more territory aud greater population than
that of countries which have carried on often
sive and defensive wars for many years, and
that it possesses immense armies managed by
as good military talent as the age has pro-
duced, and that our administration offers no
inducements which tend to divide the South
ern forces, we may look forward to dark and
stormy future, through the clouds of which we
but PARTLY see the haven Of peace The ad-
ministration and its radical managers and sat
elites seem determined TO prostitute the gov
ernment our fathers gave us to sustain their
party platform and party men and measures

from its horrors, let us be untiring in our Ell.
