ON, DECEMBER 14.-1866. President Buohanan's Vindication. It is now necessary to recur to the con dition of 'the forts and other public prop erty of the United States within South Carolina, at tie date of the President's annual message, on the 3d December,lB6o. In regard to • that property the message asp " This has been purchased for a fair equivalent, by the consent of the Legisla ture of the State, for the erection of • forts, magazines, arsenals,' and over these the authority 'to exercise exclusive legislation' has been expressly granted by the Consti tution to Congress. It is not believed that any attempt will. be. made to expel the United States from this property by force, but if in this I should prove to be mistak en, the officer in command of the forts has received' orders to act strictly on the defensive. In such a contingency the re sponsibility for consequences would right fully rest upon the heads of •the assail ants." Tbus, if war must come, the Prey ident bad determined to fix the whole rel . . sponsibility for its commencement upon _South Carolina. In order to estimate cor rectly the wisdom of this defensive policy it is necessary to revert to the condition of the country on the 3d December, 1860, when it was announced. At this period we may divide the Southern States into three classes, holding opinions variant from each other. 1. There was South Carolina, which had been the avowed and persistent advocate of disunion for more than a quarter of a century. She had, already called a con vention for the purpose' of seceding from the Union. Her leading secessionists were ever upon the alert to seize upon play ac tion of the federal government which they might wrest to the purpose of alienating the other slaveholding States from their attachment" to the Union, and enlisting them in her cause.. •. H. CAL'OHICY. C. C. SHIRK. C. X GUNNISON, E. L. PIiLTON, ♦ZRO GOFF, H. P. SEAMAN. Leetim Committee •2 The second class was composed of the six other cotton ,States. The people of these, although highly excited against the Abolitionists, were still unwilling to leave the Union. They would have .been con tent, notwithstanding the efforts of seces sion demegogues,wilh a simple recognition of their adjudged rights to take slaves into the Territories, and hold them there like other property, until a territorial conven tion assembled to friimeli State constitu- tion, should decide the question. To this decision, whatever it might be, they pro fessed their willingneLs to submit. Indeed, as has already been seen from the state ments of Messrs. Douglas and Toombs: in the Senate, they would have consented to abandon their rights in all the Territories north of 36 deg. 30 min., leaving what should remain to them little more than a name. 3. The third class consisted of the bor der slaveholding States, with Virginia at the head. A large majority of their peo ple, although believing in the right of peaceful secession, had resisted all the el torts of the extreme men in their midst, and were still devoted to the Union. Of this there could be no better proof than the, result of the election held in Virginia, February 4, 1861, for the choice of dele• gates to her State Convention, even after the cotton States bad all seceded. (Apple ton's Annual Cyclopcedia for 1861, p. 730.) This showed that a very large majority of the delegates elected were in fav9r of re maining in the Union. CONDUCT TOW/RD TURN AND REASONS FOR IT. imagine what would have been the effect on the other Southern States of sending a feeble force of ,United States troops to Fort Moultrie at this critical conjuncture. Had collision been the consequence, and blood been shed immediately. before the meeting of Congress, the other cotton States, from their well-known affinities, would have rushed to the support of South Carolina. She would thus have accom plished her long-sought object. Indeed, it was the current report of the day that her leading disunionists had declared the spilling of• a little blood would be neces sary to secure the co-operation of other, Southern States. Besides, in the Presi dent'a opinion, there was no necessity, at the time, for any reinforcement ,to secure the forts in the harbor of Charleston. He was convinced that while the other slave holding States were ready and willing to compromise with the North, South. Caro lina would not dare to attack Fort Moul trie. This conviction did not spring from any confidence in her spirit of forbearance; it arose from' a certain knowledge that such an outrage would be condemned not only by the border but by the cotton States. It would enatrange and separate them from her, at the very moment she was most solicitous to conciliate them.— Whoever was in Washington at the time cannot fail to recollect the denunciations in advance of leading Southern men against such an unprovoked attack- The public property stood within her limits—three forts, a customhouse. an arsenal and a post office, covered by the flag of the cow try. From these she knew she had nothing to fear unless she should first make the attack. Such an outrage as the seizure- of a fort of the United States by any State bad never before been imagined. There must be a fearful suspense between the conception and the commission of such an act. It was the supreme object of the President to proinote, by all the means in his power, such fair and honorable adjustment between the North and South as would save the country from the scourge of civil war. It was, therefore, his evi dent policy to isolate South Carolina, as far as possible, from the other Southern 'States; and for this purpose to refrain from any act which might enable her to enlist them in her cause. If, after all, she should attack Fort Moultrie, this act would have met Itiseir universal condemnation. Be sides, ;nothing short of such an attack could Anse united the people of the North in suppressing her revolt. They were then far from being prepared for civil war. On thoconsuay, they were intent on a peace ful solution of ourdifficulties, and would have censured soy act of the administra tion which migia, have defeated this pur pose and precipitated them into hostili ties. The true policy was that expressed by President Lincoln to the seceded cot ton States ifs his inaugural months after ward, in which he informs them, " You can have no conflict without being your selves the aggressors." Although the, President believed (and this , with good cause, as the event has shown), that under the existing circumstances, South Caroli na 'would not attack any of the forts in the harbor of Charleston while he suffered ' their stztus quo to remain ; yet in this it was possible he might be mistaken. To guard against surprise after the secession of the State, which was then imminent, he had prepared an expedition as powerful as his limited means would afford, to send rein forcements to Major Anderson, at the first moment of danger. For this pupate the Secretary of the Navy had stationed the Brooklyn, a powerful war steamer, then completely ready for sea, is Hampton Roads, to take on board for Charleston three hundred -.disciplined troops, with provisions and munitions of war, from the neighboring garrison of Fortress Mon roe. Z. SMITH CHAPTER IX 7112 POIITS IN CIIARLICSTON &ARBOR Under there circumstances it is easy to INSTRUCTIONS TO MAJOR ANDERSON. Having thus provided for the reinforce ment of the forts, in ease of need, the Secretary of War dispatched Assistant ~. Adjutant-General Buell to Major Ander son, at Fort Modltrie, with' instructions how he should act in his ores:Alt; posi tion. These were communicated to him on the 11th December, Bed. Whilst they instructed the major to avoid every act of aggression, they directed hiqi, in cise of an attack upon, or attempt to take pos session of, any of the three forts under his command. to defend them to the last extremity. Furthermore, he was author ised, as a precautionary measure, should he believe his force insufficient for the de fense of all three, to remove it at his dip cretio,n from Fort Moultrie to Fort Sum ter, whenever he should have tangiblo ev idence of a design, on the part of South Carolina, to proceed to a hostile act. We say to Fort Sumter, because the third fort, Castle Pinckney, was' wholly indefensible. From the important bearing• of these in• structions upon subsequent events, they are entitled to textual insertion. They are as follows : " You are aware of the great anxiety of the Secretary of War that a collision of the troops with the peo ple of the State shall be avoided, and of his studied determination to pursue cenriwwith reference to the military force and forts in this harbor, which shall guard against such a collision. ge lias, there fore, carefully abstained from increasing the force at this point, or taking any measures which might add to the present excited state of the public mind, or which would throw any doubt on the confidence he 'feels that South Carolina will not at tempt by violence to obtain possession of the public works or interfere with their occupancy. But as the counsel and acts of rash and impulsive persons may posed sibly disappoint these expectations of the government, be deems it proper that you shallb,e prepared with instructions to meet so uchappy a contingency. He has, there fore, directed me verbally to give you such instructions. You are carefully to avoid every act which would needlessly tend to provoke aggression, and for that reason you are not, without evident and immi nent necessity, to take up any polition which Could be construed into the assump- tion of a hostile attitude, but you are to hold possession of the forts in this harbor, and if attacked you are'to defend yourself to the last extremity. The eresllnsss of your force will not permit you,perhaps, to occupy more than one of the three forts, but an attack on or attempt to take pos session of either one of them will be re garded as an act. of hostility, and you may then put your command in either of them which you may deem moat proper to in crease its power of resistance. You are also authorized to take similar defensive steps whenever you have tangible evidence of a deign to proceed to a hostile act."— (Ex. Doc., H. R., vol. vi., No. 26, p. 10.) The President having observed that Major Buell, in reducing to writing.at Fort Moultrie the instructions he had ver bally received, required Major Anderson, in case of an attack to defend himself to be last extremity, immediately caused the Secretary of War to modify this in struction. This extreme was not required by any principle of military honor or by any rule of war. It was sufficient for him tc defend himself until no reasonable hope should remain of saving the fort. The in structions were accordingly so modified, with the approbation of Gen. Scott. NTIIIEtZW WITH BOGER CAROLINA CONGRESS MEN. The President having determined not to disturb the status, quo at Charleston so long as our troops should continue to'-he hospitably treatedhy the inhabitants and remain in unmolested possession of the forts, was gratified to learn a short time thereafter, that South Carolina was equal ly intent on preserving the peace. On December 8, 1860, four of the represen tatives in Congress from that State sought an interview, and held a conversation with him concerning the best means of avoid ing a hostile collision between the parties. In order to guard against any misappre hension on either side, he suggested that they had best, reduce their verbal commu nication to writing, and bring it to him in that form. Accordingly on December 10 they delivered to him a note stated on the previous day, and signed by five members, in whichhey say : " In compliance with our state m ent to you yesterday, we now express onr strong convictions that neither the constituted authorities, nor any body of the people of the state of South Caroli na, will either attack or molest the United States forts in the harbor of Charleston, previously to .the action of the convention ; and we hope and believe not until an !,of fer has been made, through an accredited representative, to negotiate for an amica ble arrangement of all matters between the State and the Federal government, provided no reinforcements be sent into these forts, and their relative military sta tus shall remain as at present." (Ex. Doc., 11. R., vol. vi., No. 90, p. 9, itc.) Bothtin this and in their prevjous conversation, they declared that in making this state ment, they were acting solely on their own responsibility, and expressly declaim ed any authority to bind their State . . They nevertheless expressed the confident be lief that they would be sustained both by the State authorities and the Convention, after it should assemble. Although the President considered this declaration as nothing more than the act of five respect: able members of the House from South Carolina, yet he welcomed it as a happy omen, that by means of their influence collision might be prevented, and time af forded to all parties for reflection and for a peaceable adjustment. From abundant caution, however, he objectcd to the word "provided," in their statement, lest if. he possibly should accept it without remark, this might bikconstrued into an agreement on his part not to reinforce the forts.— Such an agreement, he informed them, he would never make. It would be impossi ble for him, from the nature of his official responsibility thus to tie his own hands and restrain his own freedom of action.— Still they might have observed from his message, that he bad no_present design, under existing circumstances, to change the condition of the forts at Charleston. He must, notwithstanding, be left entire ly free to exercise his own discretion; ac cording to exigencies as they might alive. They replied that nothing was further from their intention than such &construc tion of this word ; they did not to under stand it, and he should not so consider it. GIMBAL Ear' AGAIN RICOMIIINtis GARNIBGN IMO THE FORTS It wa, at this moment. on the 15th De• cember, 1860, after the President's policy had been fixed and announced in his an nual message t after the Brooklyn had been made ready to go to ,the relief of Major Anderson in case of need; after he hid received instructions in accordance with this policy ; after the President's pa cific interview with the •South Carolina members, and before any action had yet been taken on the first Crittenden com promise, that General Scott deemed it proper to renew his former recommenda tion to garrison the nine Southern fortifi cations. This appears from his report to PresioUtnt Lincoln of the 30th March, 1861. entitled " Son.hern Forts ; a Summary," &c., of which we shall often hereafter have occasion to speak. It is scarcely a lack of charity to infer that (3en. Scott knew at the time when he made this recommendation (on the 15th December) that it, must be *ejected.

The President could not hive complied with it, the position-ef affairs still remain. ing - nnchanged, , without reversing at once his entire policy, and without a degree of inconsistency amounting almost to 'self stultification. Tile Senators from the cot ton States and from Virginia, where these forts are situated, were still occupied with their brother senators in devising meas ures of peace and conciliation. For' this patriotic purpose the committee of thir teen were about to be, appointed, and ibbf remained teieuidn until the last' day of the ntonth. • Meanwhile all the South. ern Senators in Con frees professed their willingness to adopt the Crittenden com promise, so much and bo justly lauded at terw4pis by Gen. Scott himself. If at this moms t, while they were engaged in peaceful consultation with Senators from the North. the President had dispatched military expeditious to these nine forts, it was easy to foresee what would be the dis astrous effect, not only in the cotton but in all the border States. Its first effect would have been to dissolve the existing conferences for a peaceable adjustment. WANT OF TROOPS. This, the General's second recommen- , dation, was wholly unexpected. He had remained silent for more than six weeks from the date of lila supplemental "views,': convinced, as the President inferred, that. be had abandoned the idea of garrisoning . all these forts with " the• five companies only," within his reach. Had the Presi dent ever so earnestly desired to reinforce the 'nine forts in question, at this time, it would have been little short of madness to undertake the task with the small force at his command. Without authority to call forth the militia or accept the services of volunteers for the purpose, this whole force consisted of six hundred recruits, obtained by the general since the date of his "views," in addition to the five regu lar companies. Our army was still out of reach on the remote frontiers and could not be withdrawn during the winter in time for this military operation. Indeed, the General bad never suggested such withdrawal. He knew had this been pos sible the inhabitants on our distant fron tiers would have been immediately ex posed to the tomahawk and scalping knife of the Indians. Our weak condition in regard'to troops within reach is demob- , strated by •the insignificant number of these he was able to collect in Washington on the 4th of March following. This was to resist an attempt which he apprehend ed would be made by an armed.force to prevent the inauguration of President Lincoln and to seize the public property. The General was so firmly convinced of the reality of this plot that nothing could shake his faith. It was in vain Unit a committee of the House of Representa tives, after hearing the General himself, and after full investigation, had reported. that his apprehensions were unfounded. (February 14, 1861, H. R. of Com., vol. No. 79.) Besides, the President rely ing on his own sources of information, had never entertained any similar appre hensions. The stake, notwithstanding, was so vast and the General so urgent, that be granted him permission to bring to Washington all the troops he could muster to resist an imaginary but dreaded enemy. The whole number of these, in cluding even the sappers and miners whom he had withdrawn from Werit Point, amounted to no more than six hundred and fifty-three, rank and file. These troops with a portion of the District mili tia, the General had posted in different . parts of the city.' and had stationed senti nels °i rate tops of the highest houses and other eminences, so that all Was ready to attack the enemy at thb first moment of their appearance ; but never did an inau guration piss more peacefully and quietly. It is due to President Lincoln to state that throughout his long progress in the same carriage with the late President, both on the way to the Capitol and the return from it, he was far from evincing the slightest apprehension of danger. , Had the President attempted to dis tribute the General's thousand men, as he proposed, among the s numerous forts in the cotton States, as well as Fortress Mon roe, their absurd inadequacy to the object would have exhibited weakness instead of strength. It would have provoked in stead of preventing a collision. ' It would have precipitated a civil war with the cot ton States without the slightest prepara tion on the.part of Ctingress, and would at once have destroyed the then prevail ing hopes of compromise. Worse thag. all, it would have exasperated Virginia and the, other border States, then so in tent on .remaining in the Union, and might have driven them at once into hos tile action. • 'Here follows a scorching analysis of Geu. Scott's report to President Lincoln. charging Mr. Buchanan with complicity with the rebellion, in which the ex-Presi dent distinctly proves the General to have been in sympathy with the South at the start, and convicts bin ,of either having a very poor memory, or of being a willful falsifier. The way in which he whittles down the pompous old General Is fearful to witness.] TIIE EXAMPLE or ovirat,AL JACKSON-WHY IN APPLICABLE. And here it is due to Gen. Scott to men tion that on the evening of their inter view, (15th December), he addreas9d a note to President Buchanan,. reminding him that Gen. Jackson during the period of South Carolina nullification, had sent reinforcements to Fort Moultrie to pre vent its seizure 'by the nullifiers and to enforce the collection of the revenue.— This example was doubtless suggested for imitation. But the times hid greatly changed during more than a quarter of a century which had since elapsed. In 1833 South Carolina stood alone. She had then the sympathy of no other Southern State. Her nullification was condemned by them all. Even her own people were almost equally divided on the question. But in stead of in December, 1860, they were unanimous, and the other cotton States were preparing to follow her into secession, should their rights in the Ter ritories be denied by Congress. Besides, the President had already declared his purhse to collect the revenue by the'em ployment of vessels of war, stationed out side of the port of ,Charleston, whenever • its collection at the custom house should be resisted. He hoped thereby to avoid actual collision ; but, whether or not, he 'had resolved at every hazard to collect the revenue. • Such was the state of affairs on • the 15th of December, 1860. Meanwhile the forts and other public property were -unmolested, and Major Ande rson an i his troops continued to be supplied and treat ed in the kindest manner. M r , sehade, counsel of the late Captain Wirtz, has received an affidavit from Mrs. Wirtz in due legal form, denying as altogether false the story that she at tempted to convey poison to the mouth of her husband rhile kissing him, and that Wirtz was prevented fro wallowing the drug by the prompt intervention of Gen. Baker. Frequent opportunities occurred in her private interviews with her husband for the perpetration of such a crime had she been so wicked as to meditate it. One of those instances where innocent par ticle have been made to suffer from convic— tions en circumstantial evidence has' just tranipired in Chicago : Corbett and Fleming, two murderers under sentence of death have confessed that they were the guilty parties in the garroting affair in that city about two years ago, for which two other men were tried on circumstantial evidence, found guilty and sentenced to_ the State Prison far ton years each, where they are now serving out their time. Tho presiding Judge and Dis— trict Attorney have petitioned for the release of the men thus wrongfitlly imprisoned.
