The Cabinet crisis may be considered over
Tor the present all efforts having failed either
70 remove Mr. Seward, Mr.. Stantt or Gen
Haleck, or to recall Gen. Mcclellan to the
command of the army of the Potomac.
The tenure by which Mr. Stanton continues

Differences Of opinion between high officials

Nothing in the debates last winter looked to
such course, though it was stated that the

We would have the gallant men in the
army whose families are, to a considera-
BILE degree, depending ON the pay they
receive for support, remember that the
Rockport Democrat endorses the man
who voted against giving them pay.
BoansUttIe JOURNAL.
We would have the gallant men in the
army remember that we indorse Mr. Val
landigham, with all the Democrats in
Congress, who voted to increase the pay
of the soldier, from tloelUe dollars per
month to fifteen dollars per month; while
at the same time the Republicans were
refusing to give another man or another
dollar for the support of the war, unless
it should be waged solely for the freedom
of the nigger.-Rockport Democrat
So far from Vallandigham ever voting
to increase the pay of the soldier, we have
his word for it, that he refused to vote
them single dollar. In speech in the
Cooper Institute, before hostiities COM
mcnced he said:
| an the Congress OF the Ungted DIaEes,
Uote one dollar Of money achereby one
drop Of american blood should be shed
an cirit ,car5''
The Democrat will find this on page
81 of the Record of c. L. Vallandigham,
as published by his friends, for cam
paign document
Again, in speech at Dayton, Aug. 2,
1862, Vallandigham used the following
language:
" accordingly hare not UOted for any
army 6ttt or army or nary dppropria-
ton bill, since the meeting of Congress
on the 4th Of July, 1861"
This may be found on the 147th page
of his Record
With what assurance can the Demo
crat say he voted to increase the pay of
soldiers, when he himself asserts that
he wouldn't vote to pay them at all
Yet, says the Democrat, Vallandigham is
pure patriot and enlightened states

The Lawrence Tragedy.

The Springfield Republican, one of the
ablest Republican papers in this country,
says of the Lawrence massacre:
:. 1t does not lessen the horror of this
act, but rather adds to it, to know that
QuantrelIs rufhans were taking ven
geance for like crimes committed by Kan
sas, ,iayhawkers in Western Missouri. The
people of Lawrence have suffered terri
BILE retribution for the excesses committed
by Jennison and his gang and eneour-
aged by such men as Lane, and the inno-
cent have atoned for the sins of the
guilty"
What think you of the above, Evans
vile Journal? Is it treason in the Re-
publican to thus talk, and is one of the
leading Republican journals of the nation
"palliatiDg the Lawrence tragedy?
What an awful amount of bare-faced,
cold-blooded hypocrisy these Abolition
editors will have to answer for.-Nec
Albany Ledger.
The Springfield Republican is just af
much of Republican paper as the Mis-
souri, Republican, and no more. Botf
claim to belong to the par excellence con
servative school, which insist that slavery
must be preserved even should the coun
try be lost 1t is not strange that it talks
of Jennison and Lane as jayhawkers

the same.

IN strict accordance with the resolution
which the San falsely asserts has been
violated. The States can only 'fdlly re-
sgain their rights when they sse purged of
rebels and traitors, and this our army is
doing as fast as can reasonably be ex-
.pected.
BY theway, the San has always charged
that the Republicans commenced the
war, and have ever since carried it on
for the purpose of liberating the negro
How, then, did such resolution ever get
through Republican Congress2
We endorse the resolution and unhes-
itatingly affirm that as soon as the OBJ
jects specified in it are accomplished, the
war ought to cease 1t will cease-fol
