He curries the party with him already, and has evidently made an impression ou the numerous poli- fieians who have talked wih him since bis arrival, The men who aro seeking Cabinet places buve evidently made up their minds that they must At least profess concurrence with his views, and many of them bave already adopted the new views about the South, and do pot scruple to declare that the tarpet bag governments can no longer bo supported by the federal government, und that the people of Louisiana and South Carolina mast rule themselves as the people of other States, and can be interfered with only if they should not secure peace, order and tqual justice to all, All this means, of course, that the Frosident elect bas gamed bis first victory. Tbere.1s no doubt, to- night, that bis determination to parsue a straightfor- ward and uew policy in the Sovth has beaten down op- position among tho loaders of bis party.

It will be noticed in the programme, as made up and given to the public yesterday, that no reference is made to the administration of the oath, the omission being due tothe at that time sup- posed necessity of avoiding an interregnum.
