President Lincoln's cabinet included all of his major rivals for the Republican nomination for President in 1860-William H. Seward, Salmon P. Chase, Simon Cameron and Edward Bates. Some of these men had been effectively promised positions as part of the negotiations that led to Mr. Lincoln's nomination at the Republican national convention in May 1860. Many of them objected to the inclusion of each other in the cabinet. There were worries about both geographic distribution and balance between former members of the Whig and Democratic Parties. There were also differences over ideology, ethics and personality. Simon Cameron came under particular attack because of his reputation for political and financial shenanigans. "No President ever had a Cabinet of which the members were so independent, had so large individual followings, and were so inharmonious," noted New York politician Chancey Depew.1

Is the cabinet minister the same as the deputy leader in Canada?
No. A Cabinet Minister is one of the (currently 39) Ministers of the Crown who are members of the Cabinet, a committee responsible for government policy chaired by the Prime Minister. Sometimes (though not currently) a Prime Minister will designate a Deputy Prime Minister, though the position is largely honorary and doesn't imply succession. There are also Deputy Ministers, but these are members of the civil service, not politicians.
Do the Canadian citizens vote directly for the cabinet?
In fact, the US President is not directly elected by the US voters. The US voters choose, often indirectly, the members of the Electoral College, who in turn choose the President. On more than one occasion, this has resulted in a President who received fewer votes than did his opponent.In Canada, with a parliamentary form of government, the voters elect a parliament rather than a government. The government is then usually formed by the leader of the political party that elected the largest number of members to the House of Commons.
Why did the members of Lincolns Cabinet urge him to wait before announcing the emancipation of southern slaves?
Because they were losing all their battles in Virginia, and it would have looked like a desperate measure.
