Secession A Plot

Within a
KO
NORTHERN DEMOCRAT ADMITTED INTO THE
INSIDE PLOT.
The following communication, from the
Cincinnati Gazette, is worthy of a careful
reading. The writer resided in the midst
of the plotters, and what he states are his
own personal observations, lie is now
sojourning in Kentucky.
Eds. Gazette : It may reasonably be
supposed that one who was born and bred
in the South, who resided in the Gulf
States for fifteen j-ears, including Mr
Buchanan's Administration, and tbe first
few months of Mr. Lincoln's, and who
was more or less intimately acquainted
with many prominent and influential meu
in the South, especially of the Democratic'
party, to which he himself belonged, has
had oj'port unities for obtaining informa
tion, and forming opinions, respecting the
origin ana oDjects oi recession, pucn as
have not been afforded to perhaps any
Northern man, whatever may have been
his personal or party relations to South
ern politicians. Such opportunities have
been mine : and the impressions which,
more deeply than any other, have been
made upon my mind partly by clear and
candid statements of acquaintances and
friends partly by guarded or unguarded
intimations from various sources and
partly by facts falling under my own
ooservauon, connecieu vriiu tuners oi
general notoriety I will venture to give
to the public, for 'what they may be
worth ; fully persuaded, as I am, that the
view here presented is, in 11 respects,
substantially correct, and is of- especial
concernment to the Democratic party
i:ii Vk i
j iticians oi tne riort.n ana west.
, Among the public men of the South
l . 1 IT ,, t ITT .
who planned and set on foot the Secession
movement, were, Jirsi, those who looked
upon it as a means to an eaily reconstruc
tion of the Union upon a nQW basis, (i. e.,
with additional guarantees to the Slave
Power,) and to the restoration of the
Democratic party to the control of the
General Government; and, secondly, those
who were in favor of Secession per se,
and meant that there should be no recon
struction in any event being resolved
J- 1 f AMI (1i i al
upon a uonieaeracy oi ciave cuaies, me
acquisition of Mexico, and a change from
a democratic to an aristocratic form of
government. These two classes were
entirely distinct, and the members of the
former were not acquainted "with the
plans and purposes of the latter.
The former class, embracing many of
the leading politicians of the South all
those who were deemed not quite fit to be
taken into tho deeper plot ofthe latter
was, as a class, of comparatively recent
origin. Looking to the perpetuation and
extension of Slavery, in and by means of
the Union, and to the triumph of tho
Democratic party, its birth dates no far
ther back than tbe time when the terri
torial growth of Slavery and the Demo
cratic power began to be checked by the
rapid rise of the Republican party.
With this class, Secession was merely a
sectional and party maneuver by which
the Kepublicans were to be bluffed from
the fruits of their victory and intimidated
into concessions to the Slave Power and
the Democracy.
The second class has a. much- older
history. It bc;;an, as all know, with the
adoption of the Federal Constitution;
EBENSBTJRG, PA., THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 1863.
though its aims were not at that day so
ambitious as they have since become.
For many years it was insignificant in
numbers and influence, and was confined,
mainly if not entirely, to a secret conclave
of South Carolina and Virginia politicians.
Mistaking its strength, it prematurely
manifested itself during Jackson's admin
istration, but was summarily put down,
for- the time being, by that fearless and
patriotic "Democrat. Foiled, but not
crushed, this clique (for at that time it
was nothing more) still nursed its traitor
ous intent, and bided its opportunity.
Acting with the Democratic party, it
entertained no conviction or sentiment
that a genuine Democrat would net abhor.
It identified itself nominally ""with Democ
racy, merely to avail itself of the power
of that party, and of the prestige of the
name, in working out its secret and mis
chievous ends. My purpose is not to
trace the history and operations of this
clique. That it ezisted, and that it grad
ually grew into power and daring until,
by organized eflort, it achieved the dis
ruption of the Democratic . party in the
Charleston Convention, and secured the
election of a Republican President that
is now perfectly plain to all. The growth
of this class was exceedingly rapid during
Mr. Buchanan's administration, "early in
which it had adherents in all the cotton
States ; but not even all of its adherents
were fully possessed of the views and
purposes of jts guiding spirits. There
were degrees in this secret order of Seces
sionists, and it was comparatively but a
chosen few who were initiated into its
ulterior designs. Yet every membersup
posed that he knew the whole sctemc
and. all the signs and passwords of tho
order.
The first class of Secessionists, those,
namely, who were looking forward to a
reconstruction of the Union, and the
restoration of the -Democratic party to
power, were induced to believe, and actu
ally did believe, that theirs was the entire
programme of all the Secessionists. And
not only so; but many Democratic "politi-
ciaos or tne inouu ana west were let
thus far into the plan, and upon the faith
that thi3 was the whole purpose in view,
lent it their countenance, and promised
their co-operationn in its execution.
lhat I may not scein to be venturing
thi last assertion upon mere conjecture,
I may as well say that a Democratie
politician of New York stated to me, in
the fall ot IbbU, (iie was then on a visit
to the Gult State in which 1 resided,)
that he and others of his party in the
North, were at an understanding with the
leading boutuern politicians in regard to
Secession ; and that he had just had,
while on his wav South, interviews with
several Southern Senators fwh om he .
named) in Washington city, and that they
did not contemplate a permanent dissolu
tion of the Union. One of these Senators
has since become the President of the
Southern Confederacy, and another is a
general officer in the Southern Confeder
ate army. My inlormant was confident
that the Southern leaders were earnestly
aiming at a reconstruction of the Union,
and seemed to rely on the part the Border
States were to play, as the means by which
that reconstruction would be effected.
This will serve to show what expectations
were held out to some of the Northern
Democrats by the arch secessionists of
the South. Similar expectations were
held out to many politicians of the Border
States, who were induced to believe that
those States, without themselves seceding,
could act as mediators between the North
and South, call a convention of all the
States, and thus bring about a re-union.
A similar programme, though somewhat
varied in its details, was laid before cer
tain leading Democratic politicians of the
West.- That programme was substantially
ao follows, viz : Secession ot the Southern
States establishment of a Southern Con
federacy uuion of the Western States,
one by one, with that confederacy sub
sequent accession of the Middle States,
and either the exclusion of New England
or its admission as a single State.
I need not say that there are those in
the West who, if put on their voir dire,
could be made to prove the accuracy of
this statement ; for is it not verified by
many significant speeches and resolutions
of the last few months ?
The "Secessionists per e" (to use a
phrase in vogue in the South at one time)
deemed the co-operation of the Southern
Keconstructionists essential to the success
of the first step in their plan the seces
sion of the Southern States as that co
operation was needed to make the move-
i , i 1
ment . popular ana euective at nome; ana
the aid ot the rcconstructionists in the
Northern, Western, and border States was
reauired to prevent the suppression of the
movement, in its inception, by tliG Fed
eral Government. - -
Though greatly disappointed in some
respects, yet in others their success was
even greater than they had anticipated.
The opposition in the South was much
less troublesome than might have been
exptcted. The causes of this, and the
means taken to suppress resistance, are,
no doubt, well known, and need not be stated.
One fact, however, deserves to be noted,
and its importance cannot be overrated.
The whole slaveholding class, with its
numerous dependents, enlisted in the en
terprise of secession with such violent
alacrity and zeal that the very word
"Reconstructionist" soon became an epi
thet of reproach that no politician dared
incur. ' Two results followed, viz : First,
the Keconstructionists hastened to become
"Secessionists per se," and Secondly, it
became impossible for the leaders of the
movement to keep faith with the recon
structionists of the Northern, Western,
and border States, even if such had been
their original intention.
That this design, if ever entertained, is
now abandoned, is clearly manifested by
the open and frequent avowals of late
made in Southern prints, and in the Con
federate Congress even by the peace
advocating Mr. Foote that the South can
never, and will never, enter into a Con
federacy of any kind with non-slaveholding
States. Nothing can be plainer, or more
emphatic, or more earnest, than the asser
tions of this determination on the part of
the South. They mean precisely, what
tlwy say ; and it matters not, so far as the
future is concerned, whether this determ
ination, now so plainly avowed, is wholly
the result of the war, or whether it exist
ed in the minds cf the Secessionists prior
to the war. That the fatter i3 the fact,
however, I can confidently aver, as I had
frequent intimations to that effect from
various southern men in the fall of 1860,
and the winter of 186061; and besides,
long before the inauguration of Mr. Lin
coln, it had ceased to bo safe for any man
to broach in the cotton States, the expedi
ency of a reconstruction of the Union on
any basis whatever. Further than this :
one of the original "per se" Disunionists,
a man of high standing in his State, and
of the ultra States Bights school, after re
marking to me of the Montgomery
Constitution, shortly after its promulgation,
that it was but a provisional instrument,
"designed for a moral effect abroad and in
the border States," went on to speak of
the adoption, in jdue time, of a permanent
Constitution, which should not only ex
clude all free States, but also prohibit any
member of the Confederacy from ever
cmancipatingits slaves without the consent
of all the other States. ,
it is certain that a pure slave Confedera
cy had been originally determined on,
and that the admission of the Northwest
ito that Confederacy, even on terms, was
cot, from the first, in the programme, as
understood by the initiated. Noi even
was the doctrine of State Rights to be
unconditionally admitted that peculiar
and cardinal dogma (as had been supposed)
of the Democratic faith according to Cal
houn ! The Border States were not to
be allowed to shape their policy, at any
future time, so as to meet their own views
of expediency, but they were to be held
by constitutional restrictions in complete
subservience to the views and interests of
the Gulf States.
It will be seen that, I neither accuse nor
suspect any Northern or Western Demo
crat of the design to aid in the permanent
dissolution of the Union; and certainly
the Democratic party, as a party, i3 liable
to no such charge. But one assertion
may safely be made, viz., that the Demo
cratic politicians of the North and West,
whoever they may be, who were privy to
a portion of the Secession scheme, and
thought they were taken wholly into the
confidence of Southern men, were grossly
deceived, and have been betrayed and
deserted by their supposed Southern allies.
And yet these politicians seem to be'acting
precisely as if the original progamme, as
understood by them, were still being ad
hered to by the South in perfect good
faith, the plainest acts and declarations of
Southern men to the contrary notwith
standing. If, disregarding the late disclosures of
their real intentions by Southern Seces
sionists, any Northern or Western Demo
crats suffer themselves to be deluded by
private and confidential assurances from
any quarter into the belief that the South
will voluntarily enter into a reconstruction
of the Union, in whole or in part of a
Union embracing a single freo State if,
acting upon this persuasion, they devote
themselves to the execution of ihe pro
gramme as originally palmed cff upon
them, but now impossible to be carried
out by Southern politicians, even if these
were really desirous that it should be ; if
they permit themselves to be used, in any
way, or to any extent, for the furtherance
of plan3 devised or participated in by those
who have basely abused their confidence i
let them, at all events, listen to the warn
ing of at Gulf State. Union Democrat,
respecting the consequences of such a
course. No reconstruction will take
place, they may rest assured, during this
generation, except a3 the result of the
entire defeat of the rebellion by force of
arms to accomplish which the North is
fully adequate, if that power be not
divided against itself. But fail to accom
plish this, acknowledge the Confederacy,
or give it time, by a suspension of hostili
ties, to strengthen itself, at home and
abroad, so that it shall be able to realize
its designs, and ' in vain will a single
Western or Middle State knock for ad
mission into that Confederacy.' In vain
will it try, by fugitive slave laws, and by
laws permitting masters to bring their
slaves withiu its limits," to .recommend
itself for adoption into the Confederacy
dominating the Lower Mississippi. No
thing short of becoming a Slave State in
fact, and of consenting to remain so during
the good pleasure of the other Slave
States, will secure it a membership in that
Confederacy, whose corner stone is Slaver)'.
That no free State would ever go to this
extreme may, I presume, be safely assumed
as certain.
The result, then, would be a dissolution
of the Union, to last during this genera
tion, at least a result that is probably
not desired by any man in the North or
Wrest. Certainly, no Democrat in the
free States, who ha3 a considerate zeal
for his own advancement, and for the
euccsss of his party not to speak of higher
motives of action will contribute to
that result; for it is easy to foretell, with
absolute certainty, what would be the
standing, for all time to come, ir. any
free State, of that politician, or of that
party, through whose connivance at
Secession, or through whose aid aud com
fort to the Confederacy, a dissolution of
the Union had been effected. E. II. l.
Decisions Relative to tlae Draft.
The following opinion has been pro
mulgated by the War Department :
"Office of Provost Marshal General,
JasIiinrton, June 9, 1863. The national
forces liable to perform military duty in
clude all able bodied male citizens of" the
United States, and persons of foreign
birth who have declared their intention
to become citizens according to law, being
between twenty to forty-five years of age.
Certain persona are excepted, divided into
eight classes. .No persons "jut such as are
therein excepted 'shall be exempt. (Sec.
2.) It is declared the duty of tho enrol
ling olficer to enroll all persons subject to
military duty. (Sec. 9.) All persons
thus enrolled are subject, for two years
after July 1st succeeding the enrollment,
to be called into military service (Sec.
11.) The national forces not now in ser
vice, enrolled under the act, shall be di
vided 'into two classes, &c. (Sec. 3.)
Those of the second class shall not be
called out until those of the first class
shall, have been exhausted. Thus it
seems, by a true construction of this act,
while all persons coming within its pro
visions are to.be eurolled in the national
forces, nevertheless under the first enroll
ment those who were in the military ser
vice at the time the act weot into effect
are not to be included in that class which
is subject to the first draft. Thus, it is
provided in the seventh section that reg
ulars, volunteers, militia men, or persons
called into the service under thij or any
other act of Congress, were to be arrested
as deserters wherever found by provost
marshals, and to be sent to the nearest
military post, thus admitting a plain dis
tinction between these different classes of
persons, viz: Those who 'were then in
service, and those who were dratted in.
The .same distinction between those who
were in service and those who were to be
drafted in i3 recognized iu section 18th,
which provides bounties to those who,
being then in service, should volunteer to
re-enlist. Volunteers or regulars who had
been in service and who were discharged
thcrelrom, or had resigned prior to the
3d of March, 1863, are liable to bo drafted
in the same manner as if they had never
been in the service. No regard is to be
paid to their former period of service, or
to the length or brevity of the period be
tween the date of their discharge and that
of tbe draft. Volunteers who were serv
ing in the United States on the 3d of
March, 1863, and have since that time
been discharged, are not therefore inclu
ded in the first class, from which first
class the draft is intended to be made, and
are, therefore, not now liable to be called
on by a draft which is to be made from
that class of the forces of tho United
Statea, under tho provisions of this act.
"Wm. Wnmsc, Solicitor War Dept.
' J. B. Far, Provost Marshal Genera!."
The following opinion has also been
ordered to. bo published :
NUMBER : 38".
" War Department, VrovoM Marsltal
GcneraVs Office, June 6i It is made tho
duty of Provost Marshals to obey all law
ful orders and regulations of the Provost
Marshal General, and such as. may W
prescribed by law concerning the enroll
ment and calling iuto' service of tho
national forces, under the act of March 3,
1S63, Sec. 7. ; The 25th section of tho
same act provides that if any person shall
resist any draft of men enrolled under thw
act in the service of the Uuited States, or '
shall counsel or aid any person to resist
any such draft, or shall obstruct any offi
cer making such draft, or in the perfor
mance of any service relating thereto, or
shall counsel any person to assault or"
obstruct any such ofiicer, or shall counsel
any drafted man not to appear at tho
place of rendezvous, or wilfully dissuad
them from the performance of milllary
duty, us required by law, such person
snail ba subject tq arrest by tho Provost
Marshal, and shall be delivered to tho
civil authorities, and upon conviction'
thereof bo punished by a fine not exceed
ing five huudred dollars, or by imprison
ment not exceeding two years, or bj both
of said punishments. Suppose a person
to be found standing in the passage thro
which drafting officers require to enter a
a place for a draft, and suppose that his
standing in that place would prevent ac
cess by these officers to the place of draft,
if they request him to move away, and he
refuses so to do, for the purpose of pre
venting the draft, the non-performance of "
the act of removal would be of itself an
obstruction of the draft. Standing muto
in civil courts is, under certain circum
stances, punishable, aDd so, if a person,
with intent to prevent the draft, refuses
to give his true name, when lawfully
requested to da jo by an officer whoso
legal duty it is to enroll it, is an obstruc
tion of the draft. So, also, of the giving"
of false names with the same illegal intent)
and the offender will in either case be
subject to summary arrest by the Provost
Marshal.
