himself and the country. The result OF the late
election was an emphatic condemnation Of ths
Chicago platform, more than, anything elss; bet
II carried with IL as we'll the resolve Of the
American people that "ths Union mus. and
shall be preserved" and their confidence, also,
that the resolution OF the Baltimore ConHent tioo,
calling for changes In the Cabinet, would be
accepted by Mr.. Lincoln as part or the terms
which secured his nomination, and, therefore, 10
be obeyed implicitly. II Mr.. Lincoln view The
matter in any other light, and act upon his con-
victions, be will be seriously mistaken. All
the great currents OF American opinion ran
in a conservative aud generous direction, and
Tribune theory, that the result Of eur late
Presidential contest was an endorsement and
adoption by . majority Of our eitissas Of the
connscation bill, emancipatioS proclamation
and the continuance Of arbitrary arrests In the
loyal Stntes, We prophesy that hs will speedily
como TO grief, and find his friends in . minority
throughout alb the loyal States in tho State
contests Of next October and Novembsr-ths
State Of Massachusetts, alsne excepted The
republicans are successful, and cannot only:
afford to be generous, but will fnd their true
policy to lie In that direction. They should
pass sponge over all differences Of opinion
in the recent contest, and bend every effort to
the task Of reuniting all sections and intsrests
Of our people-as they were united In the drss
year Of the war-in the maintenance Of he
national authority aad tho suppressisa ef She

The true tsst question now before Nr, Ida-
coin, the answer to which will show Ne
whether he be competent or unequal 10 this
task, is the nomination Of successos to The
