apologies, and thinks j, unfortunate that
so many Southern and Northern rebels
are appointed Delegates. but don't see
how they can be kept out. That is just
what is the matter. With the exception
of a few Republican holders, the
johnson party is made up of Northern
Copperheads and Southern rebels. and it
is useless to try to keep them out of @
Convention of their own. They will go
into it, and they will run it. They were
invited to it BY its projectors, and its
purpose is to form an Administration
party out Of Southern rebels and North
ern Copperheads, with such lImber ma.
terisl as they can seduce from the Union
ranks, which, when once securely in,

SEVERE But JUsT.-Ths Boston Trav-

The members of the Cabinet who re-
main are its least respectable members.
McCulloch is an old bunker, and small
bunker, and no more fit to have charge
of the finances of great nation than a
raw lapdsman to command one OF our
steam frigatss. Welles remains because
he likes the pay of his place. He never
left an Office that would yield him farth-
ing, and it would kill him surely were
he even to dream of having lost the ghost
of counterfeit three cent postal note.
He stays in for his salary. and be would
have done the same hsG the President
taken a course the very reverse OF that
which be resolved npon. Seward is mean
and malignant. and has been employed
ever since the summer Of 1860 in striving
for revenge on the men who SO wisely
prevented bis nomination for the Presi-
dency at that time. To seek the Presi-
dency generally makes q man silly. II
has made Seward silly. and something
more; it has made him bsse. He is a
man of mind, and his conduct is one oi
the most painful Of the many evidences
that are citable that men Of high intellec
tual powers can be the most odious OF
creatures. He belongs to that order Of
New York politicians Of whom Aaron
Burr was the first. Martin Van Bureu the
most contemptible, Henry j. Ray ymond
is the smallest. and Willism H. Seward
the worst. He is yet seeking the Presi-
dency. and we shall see him try to trip
up MIR. johnson year or two hence. and
then there will be an end of him; and as
Burr fell because he was an assassin, and
Van Bureu because he was coward, SO
will Seward sink under the enormous
weight OF his meanness.
