(UCH AN AST’S CABINET. 1 1 It will be admittedon all sides that a prime; ; necessity to the existence and perpetuation of the Union of these States, is an Administration devoted heart and soul to the Constitution as it , is, and the enforcement of the laws. All the | jevil which has taken place from the conspira | pies of the traitors cjf the South, and the aid pnd comfort which they have received from the ; pliant tools of slavey at the North, resalted from the fact that the Cabinet! of the President I Contained three menj—traitors before God and I their country—who, in violation of the most Sacred oaths, secretly plotted,, and covertly as sisted to overthrow the Union by their schemes.! pne by one did these men resign : Howell Cobb after raiding the financial condition of the country •by his want bf ability in the Depart ment of the J. B. Floyd after wink ing at the embezzlement of nearly three millions Of dollars by fraudulent sales of the govern ment properly; and;lastly, Secretary Thomp son, whose confidential clerk lies in jail for paving stolen $870,0Q0, not a dollar of which |rill ever be recovered. These barefaced rob beries —which would ihave consigned the min isters of any government in Europe to life-long disgrace and imprisobment—were not the rea 'Sons given for the resignations above referred Not at all. Mrl Oubb resigned because had the temerity to say in bis annual message-that a State pad not the right to se- J'ede. Mr. Floyd resigned because thq Presi ent had refused to order Major Anderson back to Fort Moultrie and certain assassination; ind now Thompson resigns because the War I Department sends reinforcements to the gallant il.ijor at Fort Sumter.; Do not all these reasons provp conclusively—aside from the robberies to iphich each of them wias in some degree a party 4-tbat their resignations at this critical period were each an event jn itself which -promise much for the future jsafety of the country ?

Summary of the Hews of .the Week. [Specially prepared for The Agitator.] ' ' Vashixgtox; Jan. 8,1561. , THE EEPCBLidOf CAtrepS, ... The fioaLcaucus of th j Republicans was held on Friday night last, with cIoSccT doors. Mr. Howard, of Michigan, in the Chair, The propo sition of llon. James T.Hale, of the Lycoming District, was submitted! It was in effect that all the territory of the United States north of thirty-six degrees and thirty minutes—the old Missouri Compromise line—should be free, and all South of that line to remain as. it is, with liberty to the People to, organize into Sates wherever they please, with or .without slavery. This, it will be observed, is a proposition to hack down and acknowledge that we are wrong in seeking to perpetuate freedom, in, the terri tories, for which few .Republicans were prepared. I beard Halo make a speech in Coudersport last September which lecftne to believe that he of all others would be tB<T last man to cessions to the slave-power j but'then ha was seeking a re-election, ahdj the people of Potter county—be it said to their credit—nevervofe for a man who has a questionable' back-bone. Mr. Lovejoy, of Illinois, speaking of the malcon tents of the slave States, nind the proposed com promise of dividing the territory free dom and slavery to the Pacific, is'aid, “ There never was a moro causeless revolt since Lucifer led his cohorts of apostate angels against the throne of God, but I never heard that' the Al mighty proposed to compromise the matter by allowing the rebels to kindle the 1 fires of hell south of the celestial meridian of thirty-six thirty." This outburst of the eccentric member from Illinois created adeal of sensation and some mer riment. Mr. Sherman stated that, as a mem ber of the border sub committee frbm the bor- States, he could neither rote! for the pro ; position proposed by Mr. Crittenden, to restore the Missouri line and extend it to the Pacific. He { was also opposed to the compromise to prevent | the abolition of slavery in the District of Co | lumbia. While be did not wish to abolish. it i now, he was opposed to Congress yielding up the right to do so at any future period, i Mr. Grow made a short but very effective speech, the substance, of which was that he.was I opposed to all doubtful compromises. The peo ple fit the United States bad elected a Presi dent according to the forme of the Constitution. If the people of ope section,.of the Union would not submit to the fair exprejssion of the ballot box, then it was tithe the country knew it. What evidence was there that if we now filed up this matter to suit them that they would pot ask still further concessions four years [hence if we elected another Republican President at that time? There was no use of saddling this ques-; tion upon posterity. Let it be met now in the right spirit, and let the Republican jvatcipwgfif } _^e ,, ,Q‘ysj,tit|ution, and the en forcement of the laws/' Mr. Stevens and Mr. Hickman seconded Mr. Grow’a views, and the caucus'then adjourned sinedic without coming to any conclusion. iI AJOR ANDERSON SUSTAINED, Yesterday—Mopday, January 7th—was quite an interesting day in Congress. In the llouse, gfter a patriotic Union Speech by Mr. Cobb, of Alabama, Mr. Etheridge, oTYepnasee, asked a suspension of the rules to get a vote Ton-a series of resolutions which provedl to. be the same as those offered to the Republican Caucus by Jas. T. Hale, with' the addition that' no territory should be hereafter acquired except by the con current vote of both Houses: The motion was lost. Mr. Adrain, Douglas Democrat from New Jersey, amid the greatest excitement, of fered the following resolution, the southern ptcmbers objecting to it “ Remitted, That we folly approve the bold and pa triotic act* of Major Andersonlin withdrawing from Fort Moultrie to Fort SnmteT anti the determination of the President to maintain dial fearless officer in hii present condition, and we will anpportthe President in all the Constitutional measures to enforce the laws and preserve the Union.” ' I This passed the House 134 ayes to 53 nays. I The House adjourned otter until Wednesday in honor of the battle of thi President Jack son at New Orleans: ■ i In the'Senate, Mr. Crittenden spoke briefly 1 in relation to his compromise measures. He was followed by Toombs of Georgia in a very intemperate speech. He avowed himself a dis umoniala and appealed in bjehalf of Georgia to the god of battles to vindicate her cause, which appeal is getting to: be quite] fashionable nowa days. The nomination pf Mclntyre to the Col leetorahipof Charleston Was referred to the Com mittee on Commerce, arid the Senate also ad journed over till Wedne-jday: The people here are waiting anxiously for news from Charleston, ns it is understood that the) Steamer Star of. the West was sent,to reinforce Major. Anderson at Fort Sumter on Saturday] last, and she will reach there to-day at three d’clock. We wish to know' how she will be received. The strongest kind of Union sentiment prevailosin this city of magnficent distances, discrepancies and swin dles. This morning lOOiguns were fired in honor of the day; 100 at](noon in honor of Major Anderson ; and i 100 at sunset for the Union. ]The military companies are paritdiog the streets, the bands ails playing, national music, and the stars ami stripes float from nearly every hotel and public building in town. ANOTHER l MESSAGE ■ January 10.—The city is} ivory quiet to-day. Yesterday the presidontsent in his Message to Congress on the secession. question. It states that at the opening of the session the President bad called the attention jof Congress to the state of the country, and had asked them to take proper measures to remedy ■ the tendency of af fairs. He would not now repeat what he had then said in, this connection, but reiterated bis call for Congressional action. He describes the present increased deplorable condition of the country,, in glowing language, and says that rfhen Cohgriess met, strong j bople I existed that peace might be restored. But, since, that hope had gradually faded. He instanced the result of the bidding for the loan as : showing how disastrous all lhi<f hnir'beew upon the public ’> ' 1 ’ jj ■ ‘' ; • ’ He had, in the annual rirtssage, while deny ing the lawful right of-secession, explained his purpose of i ixeentihg. the laws and protecting the public property without making aggressive war on any State, and lie now. proposes to carry out that policy as far as the means at his command trill admit. The danger hAs. how ever; gone above and beyond the executire con trol, and he commends the subject to Congress, AGITATOR),.- President Buchanan has got of another slog ,to his Administration, in the person of Secretary Thompson, who resigned his position ns head of the Interior Department yesterday. It is understood that his conditional resigna tion has been held in ierrorem over the Presi dent for upwards of a week—tbejffnal step be ing induced by the fact of reinforcements having been sent to Major Anderson on the Siar'of the West. Me. Thompson insists that the Presi dent pledged himself that no trodps should be sent to the South without his knowledge, and It no w appears that yesterday morning be first learned of the fact of the movement of troops to Fort Sumpter. Deport says that high words passed between the President and the retiring Secretary. , The most extraordinary rnmorS were enrrent in Washington yesterday relative to affairs, in Charleston—some of them bordering on the ri diculous. The steamer Star of jthe West, ac cording to one account, bad been|attacked near her point of destination, while Major Anderson was busy in bombarding the belligerent city.. These rumors, of course, cannot) be traced to any responsible source, and not worthy of the slightest credence. | n. y. SpecUl Correspondence ofJThe,Ag(tat,J ~ In my last letter I rightly anticipated Got. Curtins appointments, ns far as (they I am now able to state the names of the remain ing officers. For Deputy Secretary, Geo. W. Ilntmnersley of Philadelphia. (This place would have been much, better filled by Wien Forney, Esq., Editor of the Telegraph, and some of bis friends supposed he would get it.) Whis key Inspector—Wm. Butler of Mifflin County, probably well qualified ; Messenger to the Gov ernor—Samuel Miles; Sealer of Weights and Measures—J. D. Owens of Pittsburg: Flour Inspector—Tom. Collins of <Pitssburg; Adju re*- - al—J; ■ S. Negley'' of Pittsbr probably ail right. On Monday morning the Standing Commit tees were announced in both Houses. Your Senator, Benson, has .been placed on three Com mittees, viz., Finance;: Estates and Escheats, and Library: Mr. Strang was placed on. the Judiciary. Committee and also on. the Commit tee to Compare. Bills, while Mr. Elliott gets a good position on the Committees of Education and Ladal Judiciary. Of coarse you can judge better than myself whether thesp are good se lections or otherwise. 4 ' I am at a loss what to say in regard to the nomination and election of Mr. Cowan of West moreland as United States Senator,' becanse I do not felly understand it. Mr. Cowan is said to be an able lawyer and was formerly an old line Whig. This maybe the key to his success as there seemed to be a desire to. have the State represented by a gentleman whoso antecedents were opposed'to those of Senator Cameron in order to'give satisfaction to both parties. It is strange however, that aiyoung man like Cowan, without reputation, should crowd out.a man like Wilmot who has a national .reputation of fifteen years standing, and the key to this can only be found —as hinted in my last letter—in the ex istence of cliques who manage everything with a view only to the spoils. I know positively that the office pf Speaker of the. House, and the subordinate officers, at the capital were ap portioned out with reference to this question by the cliques; at least I am satisfied that bad the question been fairly without ref erence to the spoils, the result would have been quite different, As it is, I trust we have no reason to complain, as Mr. Cowan is .said ta be a young man of ability, although I an certain he bos been much over-rated. In the oaueus Cowan bad 58, and Wilmot 38. The Demo crats nominated Faster, late candidate for Gov ernor. On Monday, Cowan was elected by the Legislature on joint ballot. The vote stood, Cowan 118, Foster 35. This was a strict party vote. ;). . , .We had a number of distinguished visitors here last week. 1 noticed—besides the candi dates for Senator—Messrs. Cameron, Killinger, Stewart, McPherson and Grow from Waahing ton. I thought the.latter gentleman looked quite thin, but perhaps it wgs. on .account of his heavy black mustache. He is a fine look ing man, tall and.straight as as arrow. He is against compromises, and I judge rightly rep-, resents the people of his district in,that .respect. . Next week we are to have n,great'time here.- Every body is-talkingabout the inauguration.
