TIE CABINET RUPTURE.
Nh. EDITOR The resignation Of Postmas-
tar General Dennison marks . new era in pol
itics. 1t il expected that Secretary Harlan
and Attorney General Speed will soon follow,
and perhaps Secretary Stanton. Mr.. Denni-
sons action has served 70 let W know more
certainly the position Of parties, showing that
NO man can keep up his connection both with
the Republican party and Mr.. Johnsons
Cabinet. He has thus shown rs more plainly
what we may expect from the new party, and
what we may be assured of in regard to its
character that it will not compromise with
the Republicans in any manner, bat fighting
them throughout, again unite the Democrats
of the North and seoessionfsts Of the South,
and at all hazards once more gain political
asoendency. Undoubtedly the leaders Of this
now movement would have their true purpose
concealed - long - possible, and when do
veloped at all, prefer 70 seem driven to their
step, rather than the aegressors. They have
thus far to some extent succeeded, and thereby
. convinced and entangled many who are too
honorable to follow them in eli their sbomin-
able schemes.
IDKHT.
Mr.. Dennison has set the example of saving
himself while yet there is time, and we may
expect to see others soon follow him. Ray
mond has already become disgussed and re-
turned to his former friends. May he remain
there long enough to allow all to decide where
he il before be makes another leap
But the President il n 1t the only one at
work organizing q party. The Union mem
bers of Congress are watching him jealousy
and at the same time busily preparing to meet
him. He may 81 bsidize Q few ofhce-holdsrs
and of6ce-seekers, b ut We believe beside them
and the Democrats he will find his force very
small.
EVOLUTIONARY PROCEEDINGS.
1t is thought that his maohinatons will
eliminate in the arrangements at the Phila-
delphia Convention, where all schemes will be
compared, where the Democratic split ct
Charleston in 1860 will be healed, and the
surest and speediest means Of gaining power
be deoided on. Many think tina. at the oom-
mencement of the next session all the Southern
members will be present, and with the copper
head members of the North be recognized as
Congress by the President. In the meantime
be will strive to defeat the constltu slonal
amendment, that the measures shere provided
may not hinder any of his schemes. Then the
tariff will be abolished, the debt will be repu-
dated, the negroes will be unprotected and
virtually rs-snslaseG, the rebel debts will be
paid, and everything which We thought we
had gained by four years of hard fighting will
be lost in . day. Let not only hope that
these things may never happen, but let Us
labor earnestly against 1t, and be prepared for
the worst emergency that may arise. 1t 10
understood that Seward has said that In the
Fortiesh Congress ali the states will be repss-
sensed peacefully or ey force, he hopes peace
, fully.
THE SOUTHERN UNION CONVENTION.
The radical Southerners, among whom are
Col. Stokes and Maynard Of Tenn, Hamilton
: Of Texas, and many oshere, have also issued .
, call for q convention In Philadelphis, where
Southern loyalty will be well represented, and
johnson, formerly one of their number, TT
I tingly rebuked.
THE TARHP BILL.
The Tariff bill passed the house on Tuesday
by vote of "a to So. All new England voted
In the Affirmative. Ali the negative votes
: were cast in the Middle and W estern States,
several of which went entire against the bill.
In the Senate it was on Thursday postponed
) till December by vote of % to II. Thus
} the money and influence of the Free Trade
League have not been used in vain. Had the
bill even passed the Senate it 10 more than
: probable that il would have been vetoed.
THE FRKKDNEN's BUREAU.
The Freedmen's Bureau veto il daily ex-
i peoted, and as it goes to the House we may
be sure of a triumphant passage in that body
at least, and In the Senate We can only hope
for the best.
| THE FAIR.
y The great fair terminated last night, and
the several presents made to the chosen re-
/ cipients. Gen. Howard received the sword
and to the presentation speech of Gen. Banks
elo4uently responded. Senator Doolittle re-
ceived one cane and Gen. Green Clay Smith
the other. Senator Fessenden the silver pitcher.
: and Gen. Howard the dressing oase All the
speeches on the occasion we're eloquent. and
:, those of Gen. Howard and Mr.. Fessenden Ct
= pecially happy.
The receipts have been very great. although
know not the correct amount. There il now
, split in the affair, some being deeirous that
the money shall be expended for both rebel
and Union soldiers orphans, and others de-
i claring that not cent shall 20 to the rebels
4 hardly see why we should be called on u
= care for these young traitors, and earnestly
/ hope it may not be done till the debt We owe
: to our own orphans is paid, when, if We have
too much money fox ourselves, We can give j,
to them, not however a. Q debt that We owe
= but ~ pure charity. w.
