The Battle Won.
The battle for cabinet appointments
has ended, and the dust of the contest
having cleared away, we find looming up
into thpt prominence so richly deserved,
Hon. Simon Cameron, who when he first
came to this city thirty years ago toiled
as a poor printer boy at ten dollars a
month. What a silent commentary upon
the well regulated institutions of this our
free and noble country, and also what a
lesson it is to the poor boy of this coun
try, to study and profit by., Born of
humble parenke, schooled by the cold
and uncharitable ''world, he began his
course—.perseverance, irtdomnitable will
overcoming all obstacles, he slowly but
surely started , on his glorious careor, first
a compositor, second an editor and third
as a United States Senater. In the last
named position he nobly battled for the
rights of his native State, Pennsylvania,
rebuking the treacherous conduct of George
M. Dallas, at which time he asserted,that
he would labor during his senatorial:ca
reer to re-establish the Revenue or Tariff
law, and when that was done, he was wil
ling to retire from the Senate. Mainly
through his efforts that has been accom
plished, and but a few days since was
signed by the President.- Had that _not
been the'catte he would never have accept- 1
ed the Department of WAIL But now
that the Tariff being, or soon about tobe, ,
in full force and operation it matters little
to him who holds the portfolio :of the
Treasury, as now, as always was, his
highest (and it is a noble) ,ambition to
serve the interests of the :Old Keystone
State. '
Gen. Cameron's Positio .
( At the most earnest solicitation, Gen.
CAMNRON has been induced to accept the
appointment of Secretary'of War. The
General had 'declined the post, When ten
dered.te bun by the President, but the
Presidentrefused in the most positive man:
mar toaceept any declination, and the Gen
eral has been induced to eater into the
Cabinet: Under the present position of
affairs . the War office is the most import
ant. The whole military, department will
have' to be re-organized, which will in
, volve'the expense , of millions of dollars.
It is true the Treasury Department would
have been preferable if the Treasury had
been in the same situation in which it was

The Traitor Twiggs.
The treachery and baseness of several
officers of the U. S. Navy from the South
ern States, since the secession movement
began, had prepared our people to expect
the betrayal of the trusts reposed in many
of the officers of the Army and Navy who
are Southerners by birth, and who sym
pathize with the rebellious acts -of their
native States—but still the whole commu
nity was startled last week by the an
nouncement that Gen. Twiggs, in com
mand Of this Southwestern division•of the
United States Army, hadimirendered the
entire military property of the United
States in Texas tolhe secessionists. We
do not believe any event that has trans
pired connected with the secession move
ment has created so much sensation and
aroused so much indignation. Twiggs has
been connected with the United States
Army for forty-nine years, and in that
time has been particularly favored and
petted. He is now seventy years old, and
nothing can aecourit for such a man vio
lating his : oath, and covering himself with
everlasting infamy, except innate baseness
and treachery at heart.
His act of treason is 'a thousand times
worse thaatthat Of Arnold,, who had the'
excuse.fifif ill ,treatment and persectition,
motive that Twiggs, does not, pretend to set
up in justification. The full particulars
of Twiggs' treachery have not reached us
at the time we write, but it is said that
the value of the property he surrendered
amounts to about three millions of dollars,
and he added still greater. infamy to his
treason by disarming and disbanding all
the forces under his

To the proposition then that slaves whose
Cases come within the terms of this clause and
shall be delivered tp, their oaths are unstd: 1
moss. Now, if they would make the effort in
goad temper, conld they : not with nearly equal
.uuninimity,fiante..and.paris a law by means of.
which to keep good. that unanimous oath•-1
There is‘ some 'difference of opinion whetherl
this clause should be enforced by National
or State authority; but surely that dif
ference is not a very material one.—
If the slave is to be surrendered it can be of
''but of little consequence to him or to others,
Ity which authority it is done, and should any
one in any case be content that his oath shall
be 'unkept ma a merely unsubstantial controver
.
•sy 'es to how it shall be kept.
Again, in any law upon this subject ought
not all the safeguards of liberty known in civil
izedand htimane juriaprudence to be introduced
.
1 so that a freeman may not beta any me surren
dered as a slave. And might it not be well at

which guarantees that the citizens of each

THE INAUGURAL
own mere motion can lawfully get out of the
Union; that resolves and ordinances to that ef
fect are legally void ; and that acts of violence
within any State or States against.the authori
ty of the United States are insurreetionary or
revolutionary according to circumstances.
I therefore consider that in view of the Con
ititution and laws, the Union_ isnnbrokeop and
to the extent of my ability shall take care, as
the Constitution itself expressly enjoins on me;
the laws of the Union be faithfully executed in
all the States. Doing this, I deem to be only a
simple duty on my part,and Isbell perform it so
far as practicable unless my rightful masters,the
American people shall withhold the requisite
means or in some authoridve manner direct the
contrary. I trust this will not be regarded as a
menace,but only as a declared purpose of Union;
that it will constitutionally defend and main
tain itself in doing this, there need be no
115leticie, and thee `
shall be none
unless it be forced upon the National authori
ty. The power confided 'to `me will be used
to hold, occupy and possess the property
and places 'belonging to the. Gniernment,
and to collect duties and imposts, but
beyond what may - 'be s necessary for• these
objects there will be no invasion, no using of
force against or amongleople anywhere. Where
hostility to the United States in any,interior ,
lately shall be so great so - tniiersal as to
prevent competent resident citizens from
holding federal offices, there will be no at- ,
tempt to force obnoxious .strangers _.among
the people tthet4„ . object while the strict
legal right may exist ' in the gaeinnient
to'enforce the exercise of these offices.; the at-
:tempt to do so would f be so irritating and so
nearly With all that I deem if
better to forego for a'inen the uses of such
offices, The- mails, unless -,-ropelled, will
continue to be furnished in all parts of
the Union, so far as possible. The people
everywhere shall have that sense of perfect secu
rity which are, mast favorable to calm thoughts
and reflection. The - course herb 'indicated
will be folloWed current events and ex
perience shall show , a modification or change 'to
be'proper, and 'in every case and exigency my
best discretion will be exercised according.to
circumstances actually existing, and with a
view and a hope of a peaceful solution of the
Netional troubles;. and the restoration of fra
ternal sympathies and affections. That there
are persons in one section or another who
seek to destroy the Union at all events, and
are glad of anyiketext to do lt, I will neither
affirm or deny; but if there be such I need- ad
dress no word," talhose, however, who 'really

suppressed, would be ultimately revived with
out restriction in one section, while fugitive
slaves now only partially surrendered, would not
be surrendered at all by the other. Physically
speaking, we cannot separate, we cannot remove
our respective sections from eaoh,other, nor build
an impassable wall between them. A husband
and wife may be divorced and go out of the
presence and beyond the reach of each other,
but the different parts of our country can no t
do this they cannot but remain face to face
and as intercourse either amicable or hostile
must continue between them. Is it possible
then to make that intercourse more advanta
geous or more satisfactory after separating Sulu
before? Can aliens make treaties easier than
friends can make laws ? Can treaties be more
faithfully enforced between aliens than laws
among friends f Suppose you go to war, y ou

tutional right of amending It or their revolu
tionary right to dismember or overthrow it,. I
cannot be ignorant Of thefimt that many worthy
and patriotic citizens are desironeof having the
national Constitution amended. While I make
no recommendations ofamencients, I fully re
cognize the rightful authority of the people over
the whole (abject, to be exercised in either of
the modes prescribed in the: instrument
and I should, under exciting circumstances,
favor rather than oppose a fair opportunity be
ing afforded the people to act upon it.
l- will venture to add that, to me, the Con•
ventioif mode seems prefereble, inasmuch as
it allows the amendment to originate with the
-people-themselves, instead of permitting them
to take or reject a proposition originated by
others not especially chosen; for the purpose,
and which m*ht not be Precisely such as they
would not wish to either accept or refuse.
I understand,a proposed. amendment to the
Constitution, which amendment, however, I
have not seen,, has passed Congress to the cl
ient that the Federal Government ,shall never
interfere with domestic institutions of the
States, including that of personsi held ser
vice. To avoid a misconstruction of - what I
have said, I depart from my purpose
.note to speak of particular antendnielits,
so • far as to say that holding' linch
I c Provision to be now implied as oonatitational
law, I have no objection to its being made *a
pnea and inorrocable. The Chief'Magistrate
derives all his authority from the people and
they have conferred none upon him to
make' - terms for the, separation of ' the
States. The people themselves can do this
also if they .oboose,, but Executive, as
such, has nothing to do with it, , his
duty is to admidister the -present govern
ment as it came to his Nandi and to trans
mit it uniiniaired by him to his successor.
