BLAIR, and insist that the President ought
to remove them from his Cabinet and de-
bar them from all counsels in the affairs
of the Government. The conservative
portion of the Republican press insist that
CHASE and STANTON should be- At once
removed from the Cabinet. We are in
cllned to the opinion, as at present adyis

try service by retaining in his Cabinet
SEWARD and BLAIR, and excluding there
from CHASE and STANTON, subs,itutipp
more conservative men in their places. -

who turned Republican about the time Of
his election. HE first class are snti-s!a

their inatincts. They ike Mr. Blair and
his speech. like the Presidents decision
on the }ilssourl question, and detest 1aii
caIism in erything. The two classes un

III the Republican party. sad it is not very
strange, perhaps, that Mr.. Lincoln, whose
convictions for wears were conservative,
should occasionally lean to the coEserva
tive wing of his party. He has done 50 in
the Missouri csSa. and is inclined TO do the
same IN Maryland. But We can trust him,

If we had said this, which is copied
