from the New York Tribune, May 25sl
The telegraph sent US the Cabinet
speeches so late on Wednesday evening
that we could not comment upon them.
Perhaps our readers would like to know
just what the Cabinet did say, therefore
we reproduce each speech in a nutshell:
|. The President.-No speech. Much
obliged. Support sparticularly gratify-
ing under the existing circumstances"
Go to the Secretaries.
II. The Secretary of State.-The old
man not at home. OFF to Auburn. You
have seen his three columns, perhaps.
If he were here
p III. The Secretary of the Navy
Thanks Midnight talk should be dis
-couraged in decent families. Will stand
by the Administration and policy, and
rights of the states" Go home, and
don't keep people out of their bedsl
". The Secreretary of War.-Speech
written. Didn't speak before because
Lincoln had been Killed. Public duties
executive. HAS avoided trenching"-
the amiable mani When johnson be
came President, the rebellion was consid
erab!y smashed. | first thought that
there should be- Negro Suffrage. After
''calm and full discussion" my mind
yielded TO adverse arguments" and
"practiesl difficulties" The President
has recognized the right of Congress to
admit its membersl l advised approval
of Freedmens bureau bill-don't say
whether 1 like Civil Rights bill or not.
Do not like Reconstruction ~plan-third
section especially. Neither "wisdom, ne
cessity, nor justice" in DISTINGUISHING Reb-
els-mark that. "Practial difficulties"
against enfanchising loyalistsl Oh, Mr..
Stanton! is this your devotion to princi-
pie? Recognize constitutional rights of
legislative, Judicial. executive depart
ments, entertaining "respect'-and much
other emphatic talk! Oh, Mr.. Stanton.
V. The Secretary of the Treasury. l
go the whole figure, and my deliberate
judgement" sustains the President. Bal
lot-box will sustain him also. | believe
in the people of the United states. The
President holds no doubtful attitude!
His policy is a good policy; where's there
a better policy? Give US a better policy,
and we go for it; but if you do not, we
will sink or swim with this one. Hearty
cheers. s Congress has been six month:
tinkering and cannot make a policy, so j
can't. Not wise enough to amend the
Constitution, for every third Congress
man is a Constitution tinker. Tut Tut
Good words, good words! Mr.. Secretary.
Why don't the Congressional Jupiter
Tonans so amend the Constitution as to
change representation? Yes; why? l
johnson didn't do as he ought to do
why was he not taken to task during the
recess, and if the. Union party does no
do something better, its days are mum
bered, [0h! oh!1 Why not have spoken
about finances, Mr.. Secretary. Ne suto
ultra crepidum, Mr.. Secretary, for vol
made a very unwise speech.
vi. The Postmaster-GeneraE-Every
thing is lovely. The PRESIDENT is all right
Congress is all right, the country is al
right, the rebels are coming all right
Sorry that Congress and President cannot
agree, for need not tell you that thl
Union party saved the nation from armed
rebellion. President and Congress ar,
coming all right-not SO far apart now a
when Congress met. We will be Lowell,
once more-but it is very late. and NOR
speech has been made than was intend
ed. so good night, and come again.
VILndThe Attorney GeneraL-Ver!
sorry; couldn'tspeak; excuse me-
VIII. The Secretary of the INTERIOR
lAst to the Preident's policy, the least SAT-
by me the better. But l won't distrus
the Union party, nor betray it, nor max
speeches TO copperheads; so stay ava.
wit hyour fiddles, for Pill not talk to you
to night. .rs s1
