The troops were fortifying themselves at the Relay House, last night, preparing for a demonstra tion on Baltimore. General BUTLER was about to assume command, and we suppose he will act in concert with ithe Philadelphia treops, who are hourly expecting marching orders. The Sixth Massachusetts Regiment had left Washington, it is supposed with the intention of attacking Harper's Ferry. The light-boat near the month of the Potomac is to be re taken from the Secessionists, an expedition having left for that purpose. We expect to see Baltimore in the possession of United States troops on Thursday, and to hear of a demonstration on Richmond before many days are over. The programme of the Administra tion le rapidly developing, and decisive events may be hourly expected. The Instructions to Minister Dayton. If any citizen of this Republic entertains a doubt as to the position of the Administration, and the policy it intends to pursue in refer ence to the Secession troubles, that doubt will be removed by a perusal of Secretary Siewsan'a letter of instructions to Mr.. Day - Tom, the newly-appointed minister to France. Ass state paper it justifies every expectation we may have entertained of the distinguished Secretary, and as an exposition of the views of the Administration it will be gladly bailed by every friend of the Union and the Gonad- Wien. • The letter of Mr. FAuLKNER, our late minis ter at the Court of France, detailing his official Interview with M. Tuotrveser., the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, to which the Se cretary of State replies, is an insidious and reusing production, and compels us to express a feeling of gratification that his mission is at an end. He volunteers his opinions on mat ters of domestic policy in a manner which must have exceedingly astonished the French diplo matist. n The new tariff," he tells the Minis ter, "was adopted with a view, a/though pro bably, a mistaken one, of sustaining the credit of the Treasury, as much as of reviving the protective policy;" and on account of the dis content which had been manifested in com mercial circles, be bad no doubt but that next Congress would modify it. Again, be informs the Minister, when speaking of the seceded States, that gc so great Is the respect for the sett= of the people when adopted under the imposing /011123 of Sizzle organization and Stale soave:gay, that he did not think the employ ment Sf force would be tolerated for a mo ment,*, and that our Government, in it defe rence to public opinion," would either be compelled to bribe the South to remain in the 'Union) or permit it to dissolve its relation of ollegallce, and assume the powers of a sepa rate &overntaent. We do not wonder that, after listening to this view of the case, pre owned in a manner which would have done eeedit to Mr. YANCEY himself, M. Triorvertm, should have expressed the opinion that the employment of force would be unwise, as tending to a further rapture of the Confede racy; and leading to furthor oomplications in arts - -4 1 1 t 2C : ffa - • : .:Naietary of State answers these per "nz 's oreume • • miutten, _ , nts of Minister Fartareen In a impresses o irtner,„„Aimong other things, he ment the fact that the Administrate:fills - Imam, and that in the breasts of the President and his advisers every emotion him been extinguished but those of loyalty and patriotism. As to gc coercion," the Secretary says that the in surgents have instituted open, flagrant, and deadly war, and that the iz United States have accepted this civil war as an inevitable ne cessity." The Administration of Mr. De co= has not the least idea of "r suffering a dissolution of this Union to take place in any way whatevet ;" and the Secretary concludes by declaring with emphasis that the thought of.anch a dissolution, 66 peaceably or by force, has never entered into the mind of any candid statesman here, and it is high time that it be dismissed by statesmen is iturope." In thus removing from the minds of Euro pe= rowers any fears they may have enter tained of the fidelity of the Government to the Constitution, the Administration accepts the confidence which the nation bestows, and pro ceeds rapidly to meet the inevitable necessity which treason has forced upon it. We feel proud of the position which our country as slimes among the nations of the world, and we feel sure that every citizen will echo the elo quent words of the Secretary, when he says: There will be here only one nation and one Government, and there will be the same Re public, and the same constitutional Union that have already survived a dozen national changes, and changes of government in almost every other country. These will stand here after, as they are now, objects of human won der and human affection." Treason. Treason still larks in Philadelphia. We have just heard from a reliable source that as late as yesterday a petition was being pri vately presented to eminent citizens, who are supposed largely to influence public senti ment, praying President Liamorar to propose a cessation , of hostilities, with the hope of effecting a compromise with ht/PIMSON DAVIS I We rejoice to know that the attempt to obtain signatures met with indignant refusals. There can be but one object in this move ment, and that is to sow dissensions among a low united people. Who for a moment thinks the Administration will stoop from its exalted position to treat with traitors 7—to bold a parley with the arch-conspirator while be gathers his rebel forces to strike at the brave men who are risking all for our flag ? No, no In this hour none but a minion of treason will be engaged in such a task. The spirit of an angry nation is aroused, and woe to him who dares speak aught else than of crushing, now and forever, this unholy war against our beloved Union! Mr. BALL offered a bill in the State Rowe of Representatives yesterday authorizing the appointment of a committee to ascertain whether Senator Mason - , of. Virginia, had been guilty of Velma, and if such proved to be the case, to confiscate to the use or the State whatever property he may own in Philadel phia. If Mr. BALI offered this bill as an evi dence of his zeal for the Union, and his anti pathy to treason, it is very well ; but what practical purpose is to be gained by the pas sage of such a measure? When Mr. Masai; is convicted of treason, let hire be punished ; but Is not this special legislation beneath the dignity of the Legislature of Pennsylvania? It can only lead to a system of injustice and persecution. As THE injunction of secrecy has not been removed in'relation to the doings of the recent Virginia Convention, we are at a lose to un derstand the precise attitude in which it has placed the State. The Whig sums up the re atilt of their deliberations thus : "They have organized an army, and placed at Its hall the ablest officers of the late United States. They have taken the initiatory steps for the creation of a navy, and entrusted its Infancy to the brightest names on the roll of the American navy. They have established a system of aloof taxation, which will remove every murmur of dis iathiaation threcishout the !manes of the Com monwealth. They have negotiated an alliance, offensive and defensive, with oar South= sisters, which makes vs one people, and insures us ir.vinot- Nifty and independence. "By the Grace of God." In the Italian Parliament, now sitting in Turin, a discussion arose on the 16th April, upon the bill regarding the form under which VICTOR Ewa - mareVs name should bead public deeds and documents, he now being Ring of Italy. An objection was taken, that to me the words (Del Gratis) indicating that VICTOR Em manuel, was King "by the Grace of God," savored too much of the principle of Divine Right, and that, to be ge King honest Man" WAS more for him than to be " King by the Grace or God." It was replied that It would he a serious thing to eliminate the formula, oby the Grace of God." It should certainly not be expunged from the conscience of the people; and ought not the law to be an echo of that conscience ? Eventually, it was de cided that , the use of the words " Del Gratis" should be continued, and a very proper dedi sion it was. The regal recognition of Divine Power has prevailed from a very early period. Henry 11., who reigned in England from 1154 to 1189, had the words" Dei Gratin" inserted atter his title as King. It occurs both on the obverse and reverse of his Great Seal. We believe (hut are not able to ascertain the fact at this moment), that ha predecessor, Stephen, had previously used the words. The =atom has been retained by all his successors. In one of his political squibs, Thomas Moore who had small respect for constituted and hereditary people, quizzed the British monarchs as Regular .Des Gratu2 blockheads, Born with three kingdoms in their pookets. In 1849, a new silver coin, called the Florin, worth about half a dollar, was issued in Eng land by authority of Parliament. Either by design or accident, the D. G. (initials designa ting Def. Grata) was omitted in the inscrip tion which declared Vferonia to be Queen of Britain, and so great a clamor was raised, on this account, that the is s ue of that coin was called in, a few specimens only remaining in the cabinets of curious numismatologista, and a now florin was coined in 1851, bearing the usual 4 , D. G." on the legend which men tioned tho Queen's rank. No doubt, the omis sion was accidental, but a great deal was made of it by the opponents of the Liberal Ministry of that day. The title of NAPOLEON lIL is tc Emperor, by the Grace of God and the Will of the French People." In truth, all Chris tian Monarchs not only acknowledge, but claim the Grace of God as having made them Sovereigns. Anotber question about the title, discussed in the Italian Parliament, was the King's being designated 'ileum EMIAANUEL 11. M. Fens., who also had opposed the formula of icby the Grace of God," asked, cg Was Vrevon EumAttuah IL to be considered as continuing the line of VICTOR EMMANUEL 1., who continued the old traditions and fought against NAPOLEON 1., King of Italy? It was said that the Rouse of Savoy must continue its numerical order of succession, but, on the other hand, it had been the constant practice with European Sovereigns, in the case of ac quisition of territory . , to assume the title of the larger territory. When, on the contrary, princes passed from a larger State to a lesser one, the numerical order of succession was not changed. Hence, were VICTOR EIimiWIIEL to retain the number 11., it might be said that the Dukes of Savoy considered their im portance lessened by becoming Kings of Italy." M. D'Omms Rumno contended that VICTOR Emmanmtr. must be considered first of his name, and not second. Against these objec tions M. NATOLI, Minister of Commerce, de clared Usat FERDINAND F. of Aragon acquired an immense accession of territory, but he did not change his name for all that. Now, the name of the present King of Italy Is that which he bore when he risked his crown and his life for = Italian nationality; it was inti mately connected with the dearest and most honorable reminiscences of Italy, venerated by all the inhabitants of the Peninsula, and blessed by all true patriots. R. BERTOLANI said that VICTOR EMMANUEL had ascended the throne by right of inherit ince, but his whole life was a homage to national sovereignty. He asked, Could such a king be told that he must have nothing in common with the traditions of his family ? Finally, it was agreed that the title should run, ct VICTOR EMMANUEL IL, by the grace of God King of Italy." This seems proper. VICTOR. EMMANUEL I. (born 1759, died 1824,) reigned from 1802 to 1821 as King of Sardinia, and was grand-uncle of VICTOR. EMMANUEL u., whose reign commenced in 1849. As we are upon this subject, let us here re ply to an inquiry. repeatedly made, on the subject of the present ruler of France haviug much right to do so ae Louis of Rourbon. Count de PROVENCE had to assume the title of Louis XVIII., his brother, whom be suc ceeded, with the Republic and Empire in a parenthesis, being Loins XVI. The execu tion of Louis XVI. in January 1793 followed the actual suppression of Royalty in France, but the mockery of etiquette regarded his son, then only eight years old, as Louis XVLI., thouglkhe never exercised any monarchical power, and was kept a close prisoner from his father's execution to Ida own death, in the Temple at Paris, in June 1795. When N.41.01,Z0N I. abdicated in 1814, he resigned the crown in favor of his son, aged three years, but the Allied rowers, whose bayonets restored the hated BOURBODS, de clined acknowledging the child. Again, on June 22, 1816, when the wonderful reign of the Hundred Days terminated, Napormon de clued his political life ended, and proclaimed his son Napowsen 11. Emperor of the French. There was no reign of this boy-Emperor, but the ktaxor.con fauily call him NAPoLaoli to which title he had as much right, at least as poor Louis CAPE; the prisoner of the Re public, ever had. The present ruler of France, heir to his cousin, (who died in 1882,) adroit ly assumed the title of kraroazon 111., because it carried dymtatic seeming with it. Tennessee. From Richmond, Virginia, we learn that the State of Tennessee has, by a vote of her Le gislature, withdrawn from the Union. The people of Tennessee, at the last election, defeated the Duinnionists so overwhelmingly that the conspirators are not disposed again to trust them. The Legislature was recently called together, and when it assembled was the recipient of an elaborate message from Governor Mims, plainly advising the pas sage of an act of secession, and a union with the Confederate States. The tone of the message may be inferred from this brief ex tract " As established by our fathers, that Union no longer exists'. However muoh we may have che rished it heretofore, no intelligent and candid man can deny that it lies owed to be a blowing, and has become a curse; that It it no longer a high and sacred means of protection, but an engine of op pression ; that it has ceased to be a bond of brother hood, and has become a hateful oonneadon between oommunities at war. * * "The low duplicity in which their Administration was inaugurated—trasting, while conceding nothing, to lull the South into a fatal security, furnishing ground for divisions in the Border Slave States, while constant, though secret, preparation for the work of subjagation was going 011-41 now, exposed, and leaves us no alternative but independence out of the Union or aubjugation in it. The dishonorable and treacher ous practices which have so far oharaoterised the authorities at Washington admonish us that, in the impending struggle, we aro scarcely to expect the rules of honorable warfare." This system of misrepresentation, couched in language which no gentleman would use, bat which our recent experience constrains us to regard as congenial to the Governor of Tennessee, is 0110 of the agencies which these traitors use e to accomplish their unholy pur pose& It is difficult for us to believe that people as intelligent as those of the Border States will permit themselves to be expatriated by falsehood and trickery. It is the misfortune of Tennessee that her destinies are in the hands of such a man as Governor Reams. He has prostituted his high office to procure her degradation. Ostensibly trite to his alle giance, he has been acting in concert with Mr. JErrtrasex Davis as efficiently and openly as Governor Prarcmis or Governor Moons, and this latest act of infamy which he has ac complished, in connection with the Legisla tun, i s only in keeping with his efforts since the commencement of the present struggle. Tint APPOIXTBIZZIT of Hon. JOHN A. Dix, of New York, to the position of Major General of the New York forces, is a deserved com pliment to one of the most eminent of our public men, and reflects great credit upon Governor Monasit. TEE Richmond Whig publishes this ominous notice in large type under its editorial head " Ws beg to suggest to all the Southern papers the propriety of omitting all mention of the movements of troops within our borders. A word to the wise !" The Position of John Bell. We learn that Hon. JOHN BELL complains that his recent speech at Nashville, Tonnes see, on which we had occasion to cOmment as a treasonable declaration of Secession, was incorrectly reported, and calculated to do him injustice. Mr. BELL intends to prepare his remarks for publication, but in the meantime, he desires his Nashville speech to be consi dered as a Union effort, and wishes himself to be regarded as sincerely loyal to the Union. The Louisville Journal, which is our authority for this statement, thus comments upon it : " Certainly in all the course of national vicis situdes a more unfortunate choice of means was never made by a patriot ands statesman. JOHN BELL, beyond rational dispute, commit ted, in this inexplicable effort, a blunder which must have the public effect of a crime ; but we are bound to believe, and we do be • • • - - • lieve, that he committed the blunder honestly. lie is unquestionably guilty of a terrible mis take; but not, as we were at first driven by a sense of imperative duty to say, of defec tion." Mr. Bars Is welcome to whatever benefit this statement may afford him. This is no time, however, for " inexplicable efforts," or if terrible mistakes." It gave us pain to see him among the traitors to our country; but, unless he is for the Union without conditions, and for sustaining the Government in the per formance of its duty, he is.practically no bet ter than a traitor. This contest will not ad mit of doubtful positions, and no statesman will promulgate opinions capable of a double meaning. The Skibboleth of Union is easily spoken, and. if Mr. BELL hesitates or stam mers ho must not complain at being consider ed one of the men of Ephraim. Cosmopolitan Art Association. The annual drawing for prises, which was to have taken place at New York, on, the 31st Janu ary, was adjourned until April, in congequenan of the " Hard Times."

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE Letter front "Occasional." correspondence of The nen.) • WARRINGTON, May 5, 1861. Among all the lions now attracting the attention of strangers in and residents of Washington, and stimulating the curiosity of the outside world, Robert Anderson, se he Gelled himself in his great despatch to the Secretary of War after his gallant defence of Sumpter, Major of the first Artillery of the Army of the United States, has unquestionably awakened the most interest. I met him yester day, and studied his character from an earnest mum of hie appearance. Robert Anderson singularly unpretending man, of medium height, a complexion evidently bronzed by expoeure and hard service, iron-gray hair, and slightly bald, a face clodely shaven, a large blue-gray eye, deep set and overshadowed by a heavy eye-brow ; thin, compressed lips, fine forehead; his features long and fixed, indioatieg self reliance, composure of mind, and withal wearing the' semblance of the greatest benevolence. He seemed to avoid observation, and to be somewhat oppressed with the knowledge that he was the centre of it. When I saw him hi was in one of the depart meats, and strolled from room to room with hands fall of papers, quietly bumming an air, and evi dently unconcerned and satisfied that he had done , his duty. I should judge his years to be at least forty-five. Major Anderson has returned from Chatleston more than ever impressed with the belief that but for the intervention of a superin tending Providence he could not have escaped a sacrifice to the savage and unprovoked attacks of the Dbutnionists. Silent as he is, and cautious in the utterances of his sentiments, he does not con ceal his opinion that under the aurface of their oatentatione courtesy these men bore to him, as the representative of a flag they feared because they • had insulted it, a deep, implacable hatred. There is one opinion he does not hide, either from Prod dent or Cabinet ministers, and that is that the hand of God has been stretched forth to protect our Union, and to pave it from its adversaries. Bat for the unprovoked attack upon Sumpter the Northern people would have been divided into faations. Had he evacuated it, as at one time proposed, hie own fame would have suffered, and the Govern ment would have fallen into contempt. The 80. oessionists would have taken courage, and the Disunibnista is the free Mates would have tnunted the friends of the , Administration with Want of -zue — soutnern Confederacy. Ia faci, nothing prevented the evacuation of this fortress but the arrogance of the Diennioniets who,WI; ed with the hope that by their ten thoneand men they could easily exterudnate less than one hun dred, refused to allow the Administration to , furnish him supplies, and therefore compelled him to a defence which, while saving the Go vernment from overthrow, has immortalised his own name. The victory of those thousands of madmen, achieved after a terrible destruction of their own stolen forts, and I do not doubt, after a heavy loss of fife among their ovrn troops, intoxica ted them with the expectation of an easy con-' quest of the Government, and no doubt insUgated the snobs of Baltimore to the attack upon the Massachusetts soldiery ; so that, whim Major An derson reached New York, and when he arrived in Washington, he found not alone a grateful people glad to do him honor, but a people consolidated around the Administration, tired of making peace ful propositions to traitore, burning to avenge un provoked wrongs, and resolved that no truce should be agreed upon until a complete surrender had been made to the authority of the law and the Executive, aid a fall return of all the property foroibly seized upon by the Disunionist& The Administration, penetrated with a profound sense of the inappreciable services of Anderson and his men, are ready to confer upon him any honor. The President would have gladly nomi nated him to one of the highest military appoint ments in his gift, and it is believed that an offer was made to him to go abroad for the purpose of restoring his' health, greatly shattered by his long captivity behind the battlements of Sumpter. I learn, however, that he has in reserve the fulfil ment of a duty which he believes he owes to his emmtry, and that, after having settled his accounts, he will return to his native State of Kentucky and there raise the banner of the Constitution and the Union, and proclaim himself in favor of the exist ing policy of the Government. Row much like Garibaldi, who, putting behind him the glittering boners extended by Victor Emmanuel, avoiding displays before the populace, retires to his little idan4 of 08pr:ore, " Whose sapphire sates Basuto lam to her fair estates." to his Kontuoky, there to rest bun from him tells, end still, like the red•shirt Oeneral of Italy, ready to offer hie lite to Ms beloved country. The people of Maryland, seeing themselves gradually encircled 1:7 the power of the Federal Government, on account of the mad follies of the Semseionists, have taken their own ease Into their own hands, and are doing up their busineu with workmanlike asonraoy and promptitude. Oar good friend Robt. M. McLane, of Bahia:ere—who, with singular neglect of geography only equalled by his ignorance of the people, proposed to meet the in vaders of Maryland at the Susquehanna, for getting that north of that river there were se veral counties of Maryland deeply imbued with , the Union sentiment whom he would be com pelled to fight. -celledupon the President with two of his associates, sent by the Legislature of his State, and had an interview that ought to have re minded him of the old play of " Much ado about Nothing." He made nothing by his motion, and If be returned to Baltimore this morning, was pro bably informed that his friends in the Maryland Legislature were being unhorsed in their attempt to establish a revolutionary directory in Maryland, while the President was politely bowing him down the broad dales of the White House. In the town of Cumberland, Maryland, the defeat of the Die. unionists in the Legislature was celebrated by a popular delirium, by preeessions, speeches, and an Immense display of star•spangled banners; while Hagerstown celebrated the same event with a kind of double-barrelled enthusiasm, for while Disunion was being lashed in the Legislature, the people of Washington county were +casting, at &special election for members of the same Le gislature, an ultra Unionlnajority of more than four thoueand What more humiliating rebuke could be inflicted upon ambitious men? Now, let Mr. MoLane cross the Susquehanna, let him go into Buford and Cecil counties, and he will meet a much more unanimous reception than that which hail been extended to hie friendepis the line of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. If he is not satis fied with this pastime, I world advise him to try his Secession medicine in the city of Baltimore. That dose was popular only a few days ago ; why should it not he popular now ? He has great influ ences on 'his side—the Baltimore Bun, the great orator, John V. L. McMahon ; the retired jurist, John C. LoGrand, and any amount of musketry and mob. Come, Mr. McLane and Mr. Otho It. tioott, why do you not put your case before the people? Why worry President Lincoln? What right have you, when your ballet-bozo, converted by the foree of truth, repudiate your heroines, to ask terms of au Administration which Tepees Iwo public opinion, and dares you to the issue?

They „vow eetospy the new Hall of the House of Representatives, from whioh their aristooratio pre decessors, the New York Seventh Regiment, re tired to encounter the cold rain .storm of Friday and Saturday ; and, in order not to be behind the Representatives of the people, they yesterday lm= provised a Home of Reprementatives, elected a speaker, clerk, and other officers, went into fall session, dissolved the Union and reconstructed it, and then wound up the joke by going into Execu tive measles, after the model of the Senate, and, in obedience to the example of Senator Mason, of Vir ginia, ordered the galleries to be cleared, which was ruthlessly effected, although that pltrt of the building was then eueupied by some of theii tired and sleepy- companions, seeking a few hours rest.. After' walking the parapets of the Capitol, rifle on shoulder, leaping fences, knock.: ing down eentinels, turning aside indignant bayonets, hanging like monkeys from the outer ledges of the dome, some tiro hundred feet above the firm-set earth, to everybody's horror, they have been brought up with a round turn by , an old gentleman at the other end of the avenue, named Winfield &lett, speaking through a quiet gentle man in charge of the Capitol, Major McDowell, U.

DMilf/XONM, May 0 —The Legislature did no talus of importance to-day, but to-night wore holding a seeret eauousof both Houses. The following is the official report of the conk =Wooers from the Maryland Legislature, of their interview with the President t To the Honorable the General desembly of Mary land 'The undersigned commissioners have the honor to report to the General Assembly of Maryland that they waited in person on the President of the United States, on the 4th inst., and presented him with a copy of the joint resolutions adopted by your honorable bodies, on the 2i inst. They were received by the President with ra sps:Alai couitesy, and made such representations as were necessary to convey to him the sense of the General Assembly of Maryland in relation to the occupation of the capital of the State by Fede. rat. troops, and the forcible seizure of the property Of the State and •of private (Wrens on the Anna polis Railroad, and on the Washington braneh f the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. And,'ln th's connection, his attention was called to the sos_pen sten of intercourse between Baltimore and Wash ington, and of all parts of the State with Annapolis, the indignity put upon the State, while still in the Federaillnion, by such an interference with the private rights of its citizens, and by such an won potion of its soil and we's ofcontmuaioation by the Federal Government • Full explanations were exchanged between the undersigned and the Secretary of War, and Secre tory of State, who were present and participated in the dim:melon, as to the foots, and oirontastaneas widish rendered necessary tae extraordinary Ind dZinte accompanying the passage of the Federal troons through Maryland, em route to the city of Washington, and especially in .reference to those sots of the authorities of the city of Baltimore, which arrested the progress of the troops by the railroad leading from Pennsylvania and Delaware into Ma laud, and .0 the opposi tion to the landing of the troops subsequently at Annapolis hy the Governor of the State. And, in connection with this action of the authorities of the State, the hostile feeling manifested by the people to the passage of _these troops through Maryland was considered and treated with entire frankness by the undersigned, who, while acknowledging all the legal obligations of • the State to the Federal Government, set forth fully the strength of the sympathy felt by a large portion of our people for our Southern brethren in the present crisis. Although many of the incidents • and elutin stances referral to ware regarded in a different light by the undersigned and the Federal Govern ment, even to the extent of &Moroi:me of opinion as to some of the facts involved, yet, in regard to the general prinelpitut ak Issue, a concurrence of opinion wen reached. The President concurred, with -the undersigned in the opinion that so. long as Maryland had not taken, and•wes net s aboitteking, a hostile attitude to the Federal Government, that the exclusive military occupation of her ways of oommunication, and the seizure of - the property of her citizens, would be without justillestion. And what has been referred to in this conneotion so far as it had OO• (stirred, was treated by the Government as an sot of necessity and self-preservation. The undersigned did not feel themselves autho rized to enter into any arrangements with the Federal Government to induce it to ohange its re lations to the state of Maryland, considering it Proper, under the eireemstanees, to leave the- en tire discretion and responsibility of the existing state of things to that Government, making such representations as they deemed proper, to vindicate the moral and legal aspects of the question, and especially insisting on its obligation to relieve the State promptly from restraint and indignity, and to abstain from all action in the transportation of troops that can be regarded as intended for ohs& dement or prompted by resentment. The undersigned are not able to indicate to what extent onto what degree the Execative discretion will be exercised in modifying the relations which now exist between the State of Maryland and the Federal Government. and in the partierder matter of the commercial communications be tween the city of thltimore and other parts of the country, as brought to the attention of the General Assembly by the Mayor and City Connell of Baltimore; but they feel authorized to express use opinion that mime modification may be ex pealed. The undersignedfeel painfully confident that a war is to be waged to reduce all the seceding States to allegiance to the Federal Government, and that the whole military power of the Federal Government *lll be exerted to accomplish that pur pose, and, though the expression of this opinion is not called for by the resolutions of your honorable bodies, yet, having had the opportunity to ascer tain its entire accuracy, and because it will explain much of the military preparations and movements of troops through the State of Maryland, it is proper to bring it to your attention: (Signed) Ono SCOTT, Root.
