Pretty good. --The Hon. James McQuade, of Utica, says of Lincoln's Cabinet: "One thing is settled — Greeley is to go into the Cabinet. He is to be Secretary of the Exterior — his principal duties, to watch the thermometer and tell how cold it is out there
From Washington. [Special correspondence of the Dispatch.] Washington, Jan. 14, 1861. Well, the Retarders have done their best to strengthen the Abolitionists; but they have left the people to decide whether Virginia shall cling to Lincoln and Seward, or to the South and the Constitution as our fathers made it. Everything works well for the good cause. The longer Virginia is compelled, by repeating the vote on a single plain proposition — submission or resistance — to remain in the Uthe language of the Southwestern Virginians, "I haven't saw him." I know this, though; that it pleases every one of the Republicans, except Sumner and Bingham. Seward is far too smart to divide the party which alone can make him President after Lincoln. New York has voted men and money in abundance to aid Buchanan in "enforcing the laws." How mildly the rascals make war.--Pennsylvania refuses to repeal her Personal Liberty bill. Her Wide-Awakes are arming and drilling. His Majesty. Winf
The ship Albion, from London, arrived at New York, brings on freight 900 kegs of white gunpowder, a new invention. Mrs. Abraham Lincoln is in New York city. Mrs. Major Anderson to also in that city.
The Republicans wanted the dissolution of the South or dissolution of the Union. The South only asks what are her constitutional rights.--If she can't get these, she prefers independence out of the Union. Mr. Stanton, of Ohio, responded, and said the principles on which the Government was founded could not be surrendered under any threats of civil war. He denied that the Republican organization would now or hereafter interfere in any way with slavery in the States. He asserted that Lincoln's administration would be conducted on the principles of Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, John Quincy Adams and Jackson. He was willing to amend the Constitution, so as to guard against any attempt to interfere with slavery in the States, except with the consent of all the States, and to admit New Mexico. Mr. Adrain, of Mich., followed in a conciliatory and strongly Union speech, declaring for concession and compromise, but against secession. Mr. Anderson, of Mo., vindicated the South
Times is altogether satisfied with the speech. It says: It is pre-eminently a speech which ought to command universal attention and exert a general and a salutary influence. As an indication of the spirit in which the Administration of Mr. Lincoln will be conducted, it leaves nothing to be desired. It must convince every candid man that its predominant and paramount aim will be to perpetuate the Union--that it will consult, with scrupulous care, the interests, the principles and the se a life member. The feeling thus started in the choir now extended to the body of the church. One lady began a subscription to make Governor Hicks, of Maryland, a life member, another contribution towards the amount necessary to make President Lincoln a member, and a gentleman in the congregation proposed the same compliment to Hon. Mr. Stevens, of Georgia. Cuba Pitying America. [From the Cuban (Havana) Messenger, Jan. 8] The Dis-United States.--In view of the present aspect
w Governor of Pennsylvania Harrisburg, Pa., Jan. 15. --The inauguration of Gov. Curtin took place to-day. In his inaugural, he pledges himself to stand between the Constitution and encroachments instigated by hatred or ambition, fanaticism or folly. He says the election of a President is made a cause for disturbing the peace of the country, by wresting from the Federal Government the power the people conferred on it when the Constitution was adopted. Nothing in the past acts of Mr. Lincoln warrant this excitement. He believes it is not the judgment of the people now precipitating upon him a revolution. He says if Pennsylvania has any law infringing the rights of any State, or contravening any Federal law, or obstructing its execution, it ought to be repealed. She never has faltered in the recognition of all the duties imposed by the national compact, and will, by every act consistent with devotion to the honor and interests of her people, promote fraternal peace between
The Prophet Greeley. The N. Y. Tribune, in October last, thus exhibited his surprising sagacity. He predicts how calm and quiet everything will be after Lincoln's election: "It will be pleasant and instructive to see what a quieting effect, like that of oil poured upon the waters, the election of Lincoln will have uponLincoln will have upon the agitation just now of the political elements. They (the Southern people) have not the slightest intention of giving any practical effect to those threats of secession, or forcible resistance to the inauguration and administration of Lincoln, out of which some of our city papers are striving to create a panic. The election ovLincoln, out of which some of our city papers are striving to create a panic. The election over, they will hasten to shake off a suspicion fatal to all their future projects. The avowed disunionist will shrink into a little faction about as numerous and influential as our Garrison Abolitionists, while the great bulk of the Southern politicians will be too busy in looking forward to new combinations, and in schemes for re-
