The Secretary of State was William Seward, and the Secretary of the Treasury was Salmon Portland Chase. Both were Republicans and among all of Lincoln's cabinet, Chase was the most radical. As an aside, many Republicans had complained that Seward was more qualified to carry the Republican banner in the 1856 presidential elections. Fremont had received the nod.

Lincoln's Cabinet, termed a "Team of Rivals" by historian Doris Kearnes Goodwin, was full of men of different parties. His original Cabinet consisted of: William Henry Seward as Secretary of State, Salmon P. Chase as Secretary of the Treasury, Simon Cameron as Secretary of War, Gideon Welles as Secretary of the Navy, Caleb B. Smith as Secretary of the Interior, Edward Bates as Attorney General, and Montgomery Blair as Postmaster General. Ironically, of the this group, the only three Republicans (which was Lincoln's party) were the three men who ran against Lincoln for the Republican nomination. These were Seward, Chase, and Bates. The first of the original Cabinet to go was Simon Cameron, who was strong-armed into resigning because of the corruption he brought to the War Department. He was replaced by Democrat Edwin M. Stanton. Then Smith left to become a judge and was replaced by Assistant Secretary of the Interior, John P. Usher. In 1864, Chase resigned and was replaced by William Fessenden as Secretary of the Treasury. Then, when Lincoln was reelected, Fessenden left and was replaced by Hugh McCulluch. Blair also resigned in 1864, and was replaced as Postmaster General by William Dennison. Bates left when Lincoln was reelected, and he was replaced by James Speed (who happened to be the brother of one of Lincoln's best friends, Joshua Speed). By the time of the unfortunate end of Lincoln's Administration, the only two original Cabinet members that remained were William Henry Seward and Gideon Welles.
Paul Simon did a song called You can call me Al and made an amusing video in which Chevy Chase appeared to be singing the song but it was in fact Paul Simon's voice.

Simon Osa Adugu is the Secretary of State in the Ministry of Fisheries and Environment in Equatorial Guinea.
In the music video for "You Can Call Me Al" by Paul Simon, Chevy Chase is miming the lyrics rather than singing. The actual vocals are performed by Paul Simon, while Chase provides a comedic visual element to the video. His exaggerated expressions and movements enhance the song's playful tone, making it a memorable collaboration.

Edwin M. Stanton was appointed as Secretary of War under the Abraham Lincoln administration. He was in the position during the entirety of the Civil War.
Simon Cameron was President Lincoln's first secretary of war. Lincoln became upset with Cameron when in early 1862, he distributed a report that urged the government to arm former slaves. Lincoln sent him to Russia as the US ambassador. Lincoln then appointed Edwin Stanton as the new secretary of of war.
