Was Seward Ever of Opinion that the
Union would Disrupt Into '1'urce
Scctlous I
From Charles Mackay's Recollections
Dr. Mackay's account of his two
visits to America nro unusually lull,
and somo ot his disclosures curious.
Ie relates tho conversation at a din
ner given by the British Ambassador
at Washington (1857 or early in 1858):
'Tlw. nnrarino ntmaon fr ....a.A f.

-the Ambassador, Mr. Soward, Mr.
reckinridge, the then Vice-President
and myself. Mr. Brcckinridgo was
strongly Southern, Mr. Seward was as
strongly Northern ; but their political
opinions did not niako any ditForenco
in the cordiality of their intercourse.
During tho whole ovcn:ng tho conver
sation, led by tho two Americans,
turnod upon tho approaching disrup
tion of tho United. Statos, tho main
difl'erenoo between tho two Senators
being as to tho timo when tho great
event could no longer bo either post
poned or prevented.
Mr. boward was of opinion that tho
Union would break up into at loaHt
three sections tho Northern, the
Southern, and tho States to tho west
ot the Rocky Mountains. Mr. Brock
inridge inclined to tho belief that the
sections would amount to four, inulu-
vo of three already mentioned, and
ie six little Mew England States.
hich would, ho thought, separate
temselvcs from tho North, and ei
ther seek incorporation with Canada,
or endeavor to extend their union' at
Canadian expense.
.,, . . ,.., . ,i,.r....i,
tho abolition of slavery, of which he
law no immediate prospect, that tuo
Union would not last fivoyears longer.
Mr. Breckinridge thought that the
disruption would be more speedy.
The two Englishmen did not venture
to express an opinion. 'However that
may be,' said Mr. Seward, turning to
me, 'I ask you as an observant trav
eller as a writer for tho press Ui
record the sentiments of at least one
American, who knows his country
nun, that come when that day will
and it will come in Heaven's appointed
time and not earlier the United
States, both of tho North and the
Sooth, will set a gloiious example to
tbo world of tho value of free institu
tions. Tbey will prove to tho corrupt,
rotten, effete old monarchies and em
pires of Earope how vastly superior
the republican system of government
is to theirs ; and that two such broth
ers, as the North and the South will
act as brothers, and not as foes; that
they will shake hands peaceably, and
part without bloodshed. The Union
compelled by force may suit Euro

Noa IVrces upon the reservation. Up
on the receipt ot tho order at Lapwai
! .i . . ...
it was eiaiinou oy tne agent mat thero
would bo but little to induco Joseph
and his band to peaclnbly comply
with tho terms ot the order, although
as we havo been informed that somo
of tho oflieers nt tho garrison dissent
ed from this opinion. In pursuance
of tho agent's belief and beforo tho
occupancy ot tho Wallowa valley by
troops to preserve the peaco in caso
ot nny resistance to tho order, ho dis
patched Indian Reuben, tho head chiof
of the nation and brother-in-law ot Jo
soph, and his son to Wallowa to con
fer with Joseph and present to him
tho design of lho government tcr him
to go upon the reservation, and tho
purposes in caso of his refusal, and
urge him and his pcoplo to peaocably
comply with tho order. After hear
ing all from Reubon, Joseph peremp
torily refused to comply, while two
or threo of his mon who had consid
erable stock to bo proteoted showed
a desiro to obey the order, but Joseph
soon foihid and silenood them. Reu
ben returned to tho agency and re
ported tho result of his conference,
whereupon tho agent sent Levi and
ono other Indian us second embassa
i . . . - .
uors oi pence to tiiem. Joseph was
defiant, and said ho would dio beforo
ho would go upon tho reserve' and
live, and his men acquiesced in his
views, Pending tho timo of theso
efforts to induce Joseph to como in,
ho has sent runners to tho Pulousrs,
Salmon river, Whito Bird and other
outsido bands asking them to rally at
Wallowa, or in that vicinity, within
two weeks. He also sent to the Uma
tillas, and wo are informed by Indians
that soveral Umatillas and Palouscs
have already Joined Josoph, and that
even reservation Indians, who do not
worship the white man's God, declare
that they will also go to Joseph, and
are making preparations to do so.
On Tuesday tho agent sent an Indian
messenger to the Palouse, but for
what purpose wo riid not learn. Indi
ans say that Joseph told his runners
to tell those outside bands that ho
was going to havo a fight with tho
whites, and como prepared to help
him.
Tho caso of Joseph is in many re
spects similar to that of Captain Jack,
out or which tho .uoiloo massacre
arose. It is to be hoped tho scenes of
lho lava bods aro not to be ro enactod.
Tho government should act with
Iiromptness and onergy in bringing
fosoph rnd thoso who are joining
him into subjection. Temporizing
will only make matters worse. Hav-
ingdetermiuod upon a policy to be pur
sued toward this defiant band, tho way
to prevent its number from increasing
till it becomes formidable, is to break
its power at onco.
The Flual Count.
At 4 o'clock A. M. the hall was
prepared for final action of the Sonate,
and as soon as that body entered at
4:03 A. M., and all the members were
seated, the action of the respective
Houses on the Wisconsin question
was read, and the ten votes of Wis
consin were announced tor Hayes and
Wheeler. Tho presiding officer said
this concludes the count of the 28
States of the Union. The tellers will
now ascertain and deliver the result
of the votes to tho presiding officer.
Senator Allison of the tellers having
delivered the statement, the presiding
officer expressed a hope that on tho
announcement nothing would mar the
dignity of tho proceedings so reputa
ble to the American people, and so
worthy of the respect of the world.
He then said tho whole number of
Electors appointed to vote for Presi
dent and Vice Presidi ut of the United
States was 3G9, of which a msjority is

Notes on the Tribunal.
Compiles from Domooratie papers.
The height and depth of the anrumcDt of
the commission is that It is unconstitutional
to elect a Democrat in this country. The
Democrats next time will try the experiment
of making it unanimous. Any less majority
is apparently "unconstitutional." .
Good counting Is better than bad vot
ing.
The voto by which ' Christ was crucified
was even more than eight to seven.
Any way we can sit under our blue elasS
and make fuccs at the Tribunal.
ChrUtiau statesmen are beginning to take
interest in affair, again. Even Colfax is said
to smile.
Tbo Tribunal is a steel trap Into which the
Demncratio party has put Its foot.
The Electoral Tribunal should remember
uting the Lenten days the examplo ot our
Ird when tempted by the Devil.
When the Sunromo Coart refuses to follow
its own precedents, It can hardly be Worth
