CHANGE OF BAsE.-In 1864, Charles
Sumner, Ben Wade, Zachariah Chandler,
Henry Wilson and other leading Radica
Senators addressed communication to Pr.
sident Lincoln, with the view of inducing
him to make change in his Cabinet. In
that communication they Said
THE theory of our Government, the early
and uniform practical construction thereof
is that the President should be aided ty a
Cabinet agreeing with him in political prin.
ciple and general policy, and that all impor.
taDt measures and appointments should be
the result Of their combined wisdom and
dsliberation" "
Now, these same Senators combine to
thrust upon President johnson Cabinet

be can hold no confidential Or personal com
n,uuication without stultifying himself in
the eyes Of tho people,
