The litter expmwd the professional opinion
or llio writer, that reinforcement could not be
thrown Into that fort within tho timo for his
teller rendeigJ nevwary by tlw limited sup
ply of provfllMU and with u view of holding
possesion of tho iumo with a force of lew titan
?0.()00 good und well diseipllncd men. Thia

On reflection, however, he look full timo for
consultation wlllt oilier officers, both of tho
army and nnvy, und nt tho end of four ilayr
came reluctantly to the same conclusion as be
rniv. lie also stated nt tho fame time, that
Mich ittiliecnt force wns not nt the control of tho
(Mcrnmcnt. or could be raised nnd brought
lo the ground within tho time, when the pro
visions in the fort would bo exhausted. In a
purely military point of view, this rciluced tho
duty of the Administration In the case to the
mere mntler of taking tho garrlfon safely out
of the fort. It wns believed, however, to
nbitmlnn that position under the circumstances
would bo utterly ruinous j that the necessity
under which It wns to be dono wonld not ba
fully understood ; that by many It would he
construui ns n part 01 n voluntary policy ; Hint
nt home It would discourage the friend of tho
Union, embolden Its odvcrsnrirs, pud go far,p.
Insure the latter n recognition abroad; that
In fact il would bo our national destruction
ennsumntcd. This could not bo allowed.
Starvation wns not yet upon the pnrrlson, nnd
ere II would oe tenched Fort l'lekcns might
bcrolnforcid. This last would be n elenr In
dication of policy, nnd would better enable the
country tn nccept tlie evacuation of Fort Sum
ter ns n military necessity. An order wan
nt once directed to be rent for the landing nf
the lioopj from tho steamship Drooldyn. Into
Fort l'lekcns. This order could not go by
land, but mint take llio longer nnd slower route
by sen. The first return news from tlie order
wns rrceivnl but ono week before tho fall of
I'Vrt Kumtcr. The news llrelf wns Hint Hie
ofTieer commanding the Sulilne. to which ves
sel tlie troops had been trn infer ml from the
llrooklyn, acting upon some quasi nrmlMlcc of
the late Administration, nml of the existence
up to the time the order was dispatched, had
only In vngue nml unci rlniu rumors to fix nt
tuition. had refused tn land tho troops to rein
force Fort Pickens befora n crisis would bo
iculicd nt Fort Kumtcr which wns pofslhly
rendered tn by the nrnr exhnuitlon ol provis
ions In tho latter named fort. In prrcnuttnn
against sucli it conjuncture, llio Oovcrumnil
I, nd n few days bclore commenced preparing
nn expedition, ns well ns might be to relieve
Fort Humlcr, which expedition was iuUndid
lo lie ultimately Ucd cr not according to cir
cumstances. The strongest anticipated case
for using It wni now presented, and it was re
solved to rend it forward as had been intended.
In this contingency it was also resolved to
notify the Governor of South Carolina tlml he
might expect that nn attempt would bo made
to provision the fort, nml that If tho nttempt
shoii'd not be resisted Ihcro would bo no cfTori
lo throw in nun, arms or ammunition without
further notice, or In care nf an attack upon
the fori, notice was ncordlngly to bo g.ven.
Wh'iriipon the fort was nt lucked nml bom
barded lo Its fall, without even ntvnllliig the
arrival of the prnvliloniug expedition. It is
HiiiMcen liiat tlio nrs-iull upon 111.1l reduction

They well Untxf that Ihe garrison In the fort
could by no possibility commit aggression
upon tin in. They knew they were rxprco ly no

and hungry men of the g.irriron was all which
would on tlml oroi'Ion be ntlcmptcd. unless
thfUiKclvcs by resisting so much should pro
voko more. They knew that Hie (lovernment
ill sired to keen Ihe garrison In the fort, not tn

porsesiion, ami thus In preserve llio Union
from actual nml iiiiii)fd:nlc d'twoliitlon, trus

and they nifnt'ol and reilncvd the fort for pre

visible authority nf tho Fulcral Union, nml
thus force It to Immediate dissolution. That
lis was their object Hie Kxccullvo well un
derstood, nml having sn'd to llicin in Ids limn
guru I address, you can ii.tvc no conflict with

lint also kept tho irsuu so free from the power
nf Ingenious sophistry as that tho world should
not be able to inliindcrstaiid it. Ily tho nfulr

IndlUvreiiHy well. U mlylitKcm (it firl thought
or but Utile difference whether the present
uiovement nt the South bo called Secession or
rebellion, The movers, however, well under
stood Iha ditlercuco of the beginning. They
knew Ihev cuulil uuvcr raise tliclr treason to
nny respectable magnitude by any namo which
Implies violation vf luw, They knew their (
people possessed ns much of moml sense, ns
much ol devotion to law and order, and ns much
prido nml reverence Tor the history nnd govern
ment or their common country ns nny oilier
civilized nnd patriotic pi ople. They knew they
could make no advancement directly tti the
teeth or Hieso strong nnd noblo sentiments.
Accordingly, they eommedced by an Insidious
debauching or the public mind. They Invented
nn Ingenious sophism, which, If conccelcd. was
followed by perfectly logical steps through all
tho Incidents to the comntelc destruction of tlm
Unliiii. Tho sophism Itself is, Hint nny State or
iiiu union muy, conriserniiy Willi 1110 mtlennl
Constitution, nnd, therefore, lawfully nnd peace
fully withdraw from the Union, without the con
sent of the Union or of nny other State. The
little d!sgulo, that Ihe supposed right Is to be
exercised only Tor just cause, because they them
selves, nre lo bo the sole Judges of lla Justlso. Is
too II1I11 to mirlt nny notice. Willi rebellion
thus sugar-coaled llicy havo been drugging tho
public mind or Ihelrsecllon Tor more thnn thirty
years, and until they havo bro'uglitmnny good"
men 10 willingness 10 itiKO up arms against llio
Government the day after somo assemblage of
men have enacted the farcical pretense or Inking
their Stnto nut or the Union, who could have
1 ice 11 nrougiil 10 no such tiling tho day before.
This sophism derives much, perlinps the whole
or Us currency, from the assumption that there
Is somo omnipotent and sacred supremacy per
taining to ench Slate of our Fcdcnd Union.
Our Sinter Lnvo neither more nor less power
than Hint reserved to them In Iho Union by Iho
Constitution, no ono or them ever havlug'ltccn
n Stnto out or tho Union. The original ones
passed Into Ihn Union oven before they east on"

ones enmo into inc union directly rrom n con
lillon of deiicnilence. excent Texn. and even
Tcxn, In lis temporary Independence, wns ncvir

the dislgnallou of States on coming into Hie
Union, while Hint namo was llrst adopted for tlie
old ouch In, nml by Iho Colonic, svero declared
to be free and ImbDeiident Slates. Hut even
Ihcu the object wns plainly not to declare tliclr
iiiiiepcmiciicc or one another, or or llio Union
but directly lo the contrary as their mutual
pledge nnd Iheir mutual notion before, nt the
timo nud nttcrward. nlunlnlrU- ilinwu. nml Dm
express plighting orfullh byca'ch nnd nil or the
original thirteen tunics, in iho Articles or (Jon
federation, two years later, that the Union shall
lie perpetual, Is most conclusive. Having never
been Slates cither In substance or In namo out
side of the Union, whence Iho magical omnipo
tence of Slate's Ulglils, asserting n claim of
power lawfully to destroy tho Union Itself!
illicit Is said about Iho sovereignly or tho States,
but tho word Is not In Iho National Constitu
tion, nor, ns Is MIcved, In nny or the Stntc
Constitution. Whnt Is sovereignly In the
political senro or the term T Would It lie
fur wrong tn define n political community,
wllhout n political superior? Tested by this,
no ono of our Stales, except Texas, ever
was n sovereignly ; ond even Texas gavo up the
diameter on coming Into Hie Union, by which
act slicnikiiowKilgid tho Constitution of the
United Slates nud tho laws nud treaties or the
Unltiil Stales made lu pursunnco of the Consti
tution, to lie for her Ihe cupremo law or Hie lam1.
The Stales have their status In the Union, and
they have no oilier legal status. If they break
from IIiIh they can only do so ngulnst law nud
by revolution. 'J ha Union, and uut themselves
ripnmlely, prociirul their Independence and
Ihulr lllierly by coiuiueit or purchaso; the
Union gnvu each of Ihem whatever Imlejiend
encc and liberty II had. Tho Union is older
than nny of tho Stales, nud in Tact It crenlid
them us States originally. Some dependent
colonics made tho Union, nnd lu turn the Union
threw oil their depcmlcneo for Ihem, nud made
Ihem Slates such us they are. Not ono of them
ever had n Slate Constitution, Indi-pcmlcut or
the Union. Or cours-e It Is not forgotten Hint
till Ihe new Stutcs framed their Ciinxtllulions
before they cntcrul the Union. Nevcrllielc.
di-iendeiident upon mid preparatory to coming
into Iho Union, unquestionably the Slate hare
the powers nnd rights reserved lo th-in In nnd
by llio national Constitution ; but among llicin
surely are not InclinUd all cuiicelvcnble potters,
however mischievous or destructive, were
known In the world nt the timo em governmen
tal poivvrsi, and certainly a power to destroy the
Government Itieir had never been known as
governmental merely ndmliiistratlvo pottir.
This relative matter of national power nud State
rights, na n principle, is not ntlicr Hum the
principle or generality nnd locality. Whatever
i'niiecrns the tholo should lio confided to the
whole, to thoGtiicral Government; while what
cone in only Iho Slide should bo left exclusive
ly to the Slate. Tlmt Is all Ihero is id original
principle about It. Whether the National Con
stitution, In defining boundaries between the
two, has applied thu principle with exact accu
racy, is nut to bo quoslloiud. Wo nro abo
bound by that definition without question.
What Is now combated Is H19 position that
sccisslon Is consistent with tho Constitution, Is
lawful ami peaceful. It Is not contended that
there Is any express law for it. nnd nothing
should ever bo implied as law which leada lo
unjust or nluutd contiqucticcs. Iho nnllon
purchased with money Iho countries out ot
which several of these States svere formed. Isj

and without refunding! Tho nation paid very
largo sums lu tho aggregate, I bcllcvo a hun
dred millions to rclcaso Florida of tho abo
riginal tribes. Is It lust tliat die now go nfl
without consent or wllhout making any return!
'1 he nation Is now In debt for money applied to
tho benefit of these so called seceded Stales, lu
common with Iho rest. Is It just either that
creditors (hull go unpaid, or tho remaining
Stnlcs pay, while part or tho present national
debt was contractu! to pny tho old debts of
Texas! Is It just that (ho shall lease and pay
no part or this herself? Again, If 0110 Stale
may secede, so may another, mid when nil shall
lime si ceded 110110 Is left lo pny thu elcbts. Is
this quite Just to creditors? lldt$ notify
them or this sago view or ours when wo bor
row id their money? If wo now rccognlzo the
doclriuo of allowing the seccder to go In
pence, It Is difficult torewhat we can do K
otbus chooso to go to exhort terms upon which
Ihuy will promise to remain. Tho Sictders In
sist that our Constitution admits secession.
They have assumed to make a nutional Consti
tution or tlicir own, in sslilcb or ncctslty they
have either discarded or retained tho right of
secerslon, as they insist It exists In ours. If
they havo discarded It In theirs they thereby
admit that on principle It ought not lo bo
ours; If they havo retained It, by their own
construction of ours they show tlmt te, be con
sistent they must seceelo from ono another
whenever they shall find It tho readiest way of
willing their debts or cttecttng any oilier kiwsu
or unjust object. Tho principle Itself Is one of
disintegration, and upon wuicu no goieriiuicui
imi ..nkill.lv endure. If all Ihe Slates save one
should assert the power to drive that cue out of
Iho Union, It is presumed 1110 tvhoio ciuw ui re
cession politicians would nt once deny tho pow
er oud denounce this act as tho greatest outrage
upon Stato rights. Hut suppose precisely tho
Fume act Instead of being called driving them
out, should lie called the seceding or the others
Irons Hint one, It would bo exactly what the
fcccdein claim lo do, unless indeed, they make
the point that tho 0110 because It Is a minority,
may rightfully do what tho others, because thoy
ure a inajorlly, may not rightfully do. These
politicians ore subtle and profund on the rights
of minorities. They nro not partial to that
power which s In the Constitution and speaks
liom tho jireamblo calling Itself We, the
jieople." It may well bo questioned svh;tjier
thero Is to-diy a majority of tho legally quail
lied voters of buy Stntc. excent. itcrhari. South
Carolina, In favor of disunion. Thero U much
reason to believe tbst tho Union won aiotlio
majority lu msny, If uot lu every other or the
so called seceded Slates, The contrary has not
been denotirlrated In nny one of them. It Is
ventured lo nfllrm this even or Virginia and
Tennessee, Tor Iho result or nn election held In
military camps where the bayonets are all on
one side or the question voted upon, can scarce
ly bo considered ns demonstrating popular sen
timent. At ruch nn election, nil that large
class who nrcnt once for the Union nnd ngnlnM
coercion, would bo coerced to vole ngnlnsl th"
Lnlon. It may bo assumed, without extrnra
gnneo, that, the frco lntltutlons svo enjoy have
developed tho powers nnd In.prored the condi
tion oronr whole people tx'yond nn example in
tho world. Or this wo now hnrc n striking ond
an Imprerslve llluslrntton. So lnrgo nn army
ns tho Government lias now on foot wns never
before known wllhout n soldier In It but who
had token Ids place Ihcro on his own free
choice ; but mnro than lids, there r.ro tunny
single regiments v.hore member", ono nnd
I tho nrls, sciences, profcsMons. und whatever

and there Is scarcely ono from which thero could
not bo selected 4 President, a Cabinet, n Con
gress, ami perhaps n Court, nbutiihntlv compe
tent to administer Iho finrrrmnntit tin, If nr
do I any this Is not true nlso In Hie army of our
mm menus, now niiversartes in this contest.
Hut If It Is. so much better tho rcaon why the
Government, which hns conferred such benefits
on both them nnd us. should not bo brokou up
bonvcr. In any eectlon, prnporc to abandon
ruch n Government, would do well lo consider
In dcreiirc m" what prlnclplelt Is that hedo s I: ;
what belter he Is likely to get lu Its steads
whether tho substitute will give, or be Intended
uKne, pomuciiot good lo the people. There
uro somo forshadntvlng doubts on this subject.
Our ndverrnrles have adopted some declaration
or Independence, In which, unlike tho good old
ono penned by JifTerson, they null the words
"All men nro crentnl fqunl." They have
adopted a temporary National Constilutlnn, In
the preamble or which, unlike our pood old one
signed by Washington, thry omit "Wo Ihe
people," nnd substitute " We, liu deputies of
the sovereign and Independent Slnles."' Why
this deliberate pressing nut of vlcr the rights
of men nnd the authority or tho people! This
Is csscnllnlly a people's contest. On Iho ride
of the worlel Hint furm a substance of Oovrru
ment wlioro leading olject Is toelevale the con
dltlon or men. to lift artificial weights from nil
shoulders, to clear the paths of laudable pursuit
for nil, to nfford nil an unrulterrd start nud fair
chance lu the race or lire, yielding to Hie par
tial and temporary departures from nccestilly.
'I Ids Is the lending oljicl or thu Government
Tor whose cxlslcnco wo contend. 1 nm most
happy to believe Hint tho plnlu people under
stand nml nppreclnto this. It Is worthy or note
Hint while lu this, tho Government's hour or
peril, lnrge numbers or thoe In the army nnd
navy who havo been favored with the bfllerr
have resigned nnd provul false to the hand
which linil panqicrcd them, not ono common
soldier or common sailor Is known to have de
serted his P.ag. Great honor Is duo lo there
ofllcers who remained true, despite the example
of their trcuchcrotii noclntos ; but the greatest
honor, and most Important Tact or all, Is the
uifhiilmlly nud firmness ol the common soldiers
and common sailors. To the Inst man, so fur ns
known, they havo successfully reslstul the trai
torous effort or those whnsu commands but an
hour before they olteyed us nbseiluto law. This
Is tho patriotic uctlou or plain people. They
understand without any argument that Iho do
stroylng Hie Goveruinant which wna iimibi by
Washington means no good to Ihiiu. Our pop
ular Government hns ofleu been called nn ex
periment. Tito points In l our people havo nl
ready settled : the tnccesfful establishing and
the successful udinluUlcrlng of It. One still
remains ; Its suceei-srul maintenance nualnst n
formidable Internal attempt to nvcriluow II.
It Is now for them lo demon-Irate lo the world
Hint those that can fairly enrry in election, cau
also suppress a rebellion; that lullots are tin
rightful and peaceful successors of bullet, nud
limt tiheu ballots have fairly and constitution
ally decided, there cun be 110 siii-ciwful appt-ul

teaching all their folly of being tho beglum r
