States as "the declared purpose of the Union that it will constitutionally defend and maintain itself. In doing this, there needs to be no bloodshed or violence, and there shall be none unless it be forced upon the National authority. The power confided to me will be used to hold, occupy, and possess the property and places belonging to the Government, and to collect the duties on imports." He (Mr. G.) had hoped that better councils would prevail; but the fact was now upon us that Mr. Lincoln had shut his eyes to the condition of the country as it is; he had to some extent failed to remember that the people in seven or eight States were engaged in a struggle for independence and liberty, and that they had the will (and he hoped the abilities to maintain it. Mr. Goggin went on to make further quotations from the Inaugural address, commenting thereupon in terms of decided disapprobation: He did not intend to stand by when a declaration was given to the world which must place the

The telegraph informs us this morning that the United States Senate yesterday, confirmed the following appointments by Mr. Lincoln, of members of his Cabinet: W. H. Seward, of New York, Secretary of State; Salmon P. Chase, of Ohio, Secretary of the Treasury; Simon Cameron, of PenMr. Lincoln, of members of his Cabinet: W. H. Seward, of New York, Secretary of State; Salmon P. Chase, of Ohio, Secretary of the Treasury; Simon Cameron, of Pennsylvania, Secretary of War; Montgomery Blair, of Maryland, Postmaster General; Gideon Wells, Secretary of the Navy; C. B. Smith, of Indiana, Secretary of the Interior, and Ed. Bates, of Missouri, Attorney General. The following sketches of these gentlemen will be interesting at this time: Wm. R. Seward, Secretary of State. e. He was a delegate from the State at large to the Chicago Convention, and constituted, one of the committee to proceed to Springfield with official notice of Mr. Lincoln's nomination. C. B. Smith, Secretary of the Interior. Mr. Smith is well known in Indiana. He has been in Congress, and was Commissioner to Mexican clai
Another speech from the PresidentAddresses of Gen. Scott and Ex-Sec'y Holt. Washington, March 5. --Several State delegations called on Mr. Lincoln this morning to pay their respects. The most prominent among them were those from Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. The former (as did the latter,) assembled in the East-room, tion, said Massachusetts had read his Inaugural and would stand by it, and from none would it meet with a more cordial support than from the Old Bay State. Mr. Lincoln replied substantially as follows: I am thankful for this renewed assurance of the kind feeling and confidence of the Old Bay State, in so far as you. Mr. ified to have the good friends of Massachusetts and others who have thus far supported me in these national views still to support me in carrying them out. Mr. Lincoln excused himself from further remarks on account of pressing business, and retired without more ceremony than a farewell bow. Gen. Scott and Secretary Holt
or four days, the owners of hotels and other public buildings have been viewing with each other in raising tall flag-staffs. The longer the pole, the greater and the purer the patriotism. All the flags contain all the stars and all the stripes. Everything and everybody is intensely national. Especially national are the native-born Virginians who want to get or to keep offices. A member of the Virginia Convention could not be more abjectly national. Up to nine o'clock this morning, Lincoln was still undecided about Chase. Seward and Weed were with him at eleven last night, toning down the Inaugural. Sherman may get Chase's place. But, why this great horror of Chase? Whence this sudden affection of Virginia for Seward? Both are her enemies. Chase is open, Seward is sly and subtle.--Chase will deal you a rude blow, but he will tell you when he is going to strike. Seward will smile most sweetly, and at the same moment infuse a slow, deadly poison in the cup he offers you
Salute. Buffalo, March 4. --A salute of thirty-four guns was fired here to-day at noon, under the direction of the proprietors of the Morning Express newspaper, in honor of the inauguration of President Lincoln and Vice President Hamlin.
The Wives of the New President and Vice President. --A lady writes from Washington hat Mrs. Lincoln is somewhat young-looking for the wife of a man of 52. She is richly dressed, wearing a rose-colored silk, and is otherwise handsomely decorated. She has a very fair complexion, dark hair, and a pleasant eye and voice. Mrs. Hamlin is quite young — far below thirty--a lady of small figure, and like the President's wife.
The Convention. Several resolutions, induced by the Inaugural Address of Abraham Lincoln, were offered yesterday, but the Convention adjourned pending their consideration. The debate indicated a change of sentiment to some extent, and the Secession members seem more hopeful. The policy of the Conservatives, however, is to inaugurate a conference of the Border Slave States, upon the result of which the action of Virginia is to be based. The attendance of spectators, particularly of ladies, was very large yesterday.
Action of the Confederate Congress--desires and Plans of the Lenders. Montgomery. March 3, 1861. --The propositions of the Washington Peace Congress will not even be taken into consideration here; and in no event will the rule of Lincoln be submitted to. The permanent Constitution of the Confederacy is now being elaborated, in order to be submitted to the Congress and to the States. I am enabled, in advance, to state some of its more important features. It will provide that South of Kansas and of Utah slavery shall be established beyond the power of Congress or of the Northern States ever to abolish it, or in any way interfere with the rights it confers. The idea which has prevailed to some extent in South Carolina that only slave States can be admitted to the Confederacy, is repudiated by the controlling men, and by the majority of the Congress. The Constitution will provide for the admission of free States, of course with suitable guaranties. Full powers
s. James O. Putnam, of N. Y., Geo. P. Marsh, of Vt., and Anson Burlingame, of Mass., are all looking after it. "Petoubun" (Peep-of-Day,) is the name of a newspaper, in the Chippewa language, just started at Sarnia, by the Rev. Thomas Huriburt. The London Sporting Life says that Tom Sayers will leave England on the 10th day of April next, for the United States. The convicts in the penitentiary of Mississippi are engaged in manufacturing tents for the army of the State. Mr. Lincoln will give his first public reception at the White House on Friday evening next. The dwelling of Lewis Cooke, in Monroe county, Va., was destroyed by fire on the 24th ult. Jno. O'Neal has been sent to the chain-gang at Memphis, Tennessee, for vending obscene works. The twenty-five public libraries of Boston contain 307,242 volumes. The Hon. J. A.

Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet. Washington, March 5. --The Senate, during a secret session of an hour and a half to-day, confirmed the following Cabinet appointments, submitted by Mr. Lincoln: Secretary of State--Wm. H. Seward, of New York. Secret'y of the Treasury — Salmon P. Chase, of Ohio. Secretary of War--Simon Cameron, of Pa. Secretary of the Navy--Gideon Wells, of Ct.

Smith, of Indiana. Attorney General--Edward Bates, of Mo. The vote was unanimous for all the appointments except Bates and Blair. In their cases four or five votes were cast against each, because the Republicans were unwilling that any representatives from slave States should get into the Cabinet. A large crowd assembled around the doors, anxious to hear the result of the Executive sessio
