THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON OITY.: _ December ‘Spirit of th ‘The Constitution pronounces the propos Ave milifen lean to be “a humiliating jure," an- to the world that the National credit bas fallen to the Shylock standard, and thinks that— “A lesson will have been ie vain if the North refuse to see In the accord- ‘ed to the loan a reason for the exercise of a conciliatory spirit in meeting the secession issue. ‘The intciligencer upon the same text inquires “what is the government coming to; or rather ‘Tlie Repudlican thinks some satisfactory ar. rangement may result from the Border State caucus last night. —— ‘Tux Fortivications IN CHARLESTON Hanson, &c.—Axs the city and fortifications of Charleston and harbor are oceupying a very prominent posi- tion in the public mind just now, and as a great deal has been said and written regarding the value of these fortifications to the people of Charleston, it might not be out of place to give them their true value in case of collision with the United States. It is quite apparent, by taking a glance at the bart of Charleston harbor, that if these forts were actually in the bands of the citizens of South Car- Glina, their only value would be to them to pro- tect the shipping in their own harbor, and no further. Four United States ships could com- pletely blockade the without any aid from the forts; and Fort Moultrie, at the entrance, could not relieve that condition. no matter whether im the bands of South Carolina or the United States, and no ship could enter or depart without seizure. Ig a very reliable and elaborate chart of this barbor by the U. 8. Coast Survey, it will be found that there ere four channels entering the harbor: ‘The Main Ship” channel having from 3% to 7 fathoms water, running south six miles from the entrance. ‘‘Swash” channel, baving from 2 to 34% fathoms, running southeast between three and gourmiles. ‘‘North’’ channel runs half mile north of Swasb and parallel to it for two-and-a-half miles, and with about the same depth of water And “ Mafiitt’s” or “ Sullivan’s Island” channel, ‘which runs from two to three miles due east from Fort Moultrie. Now, taking a range from that or the entrance, with a radius of four miles, (which would be pretty safe distance for cruisers to ride,) which would pretty nesrly cover the en- trance to all these channels, with one ship of war on each of those entrances, the whole four ships couid be made simultaneously serviceable to each other, and so reader the blockade impenetrable by any force South Carolina could command, as the extreme distance of these ships from each other could be effectually reduced to about four miles, and still besafe from the fire of Fort Moul- trie. Now, in that condition, these forts would be of very little nse to Charleston even if they were garrisoned com: . But how is it if they Se os ok naen or tae Waited States or blockading power? And we should like to know how the Charleston people could prevent @ reinforcement of these forts’ It is true that if the United States should wait until the South Carolinians erect sea-coast batteries along the margin of the harbor they might annoy them with their fire, but they would be no less ex- posed to the fire from the ships if it was deemed necessary to do so to accomplish their object. A few ships of war could silence every one of these forts even were they in the hands of the seces- stopists, for the State troops are in but poor con- dition tosaccessfally manage the attack or defense of any of these forts when opposed by experience, science and, above all, discipline. They might, no doubt, be well posted with superior officers, with pluck and ardor—all very serviceable ele- ments—bat are not of much permanence in any- thing likely to be adverse or after a defeat There is some taik of erecting batteries along the shores of the harbor at suitable positions. Now they cannot erect one battlement without the permission of the United States, for two or three cruisers could prevent any construction that getting any guns mounted, it is quite doubtful that they could be of service twenty-four hours after. For South Carolina to attempt to force herself from the arms of the United States arms, she would be asa child of a giant, and entirely at the United States. If she should ob. aid from the old powers of Europe—viz : France or England—then she might hope to bave something like equality tu the struggle, but aud would have less sympathy for their institu- tlon than any of the Northern fellow-citizens. It is to be feared that South Carolina bas been imposed upon, either by demagogues at home or by foreign impostors. One thing is certain: she cannot take these forts, unless by permission of the U.S. Government. In order to capture them ‘when properly garrisoned, it would require at least three times the strength of the fort iwelf, im means, skill, perseverance, and endurance ; for it is a known fact that it requires all that amount of superiority of elements, even with old and well-disciplined troops. Remember New Orleans, an@ Sebastopol of late date. Now, South Caro- lima is not by any mesns a well-trained military Power like any of Europe or even the United ‘States; hence, in a conflict with ber she would be most likely to suffer reverses in the field, ex- cept these victories which accident might favor ber with and betray her into the belief that her superiority secured the victory, and lead her into impulsive and disastrous operations. May God Preserve us from such ! ‘Tux On Drr or tux Day, immediately around us, is that Secretaries Floyd, Thompson, and ‘Thomas, all of whom believe in the alleged con- stitutional right of secession, it will be remem- bered, have formally notified the President that they will resign their respective portfolios unless he accedes to the demand of the South Carolina Commissioners, that orders shail be issued to Major Anderson directing him to go back to Fort Moultrie from Fort Sumter, with all his force: of course thus abandoning the latter to the seces- stonists This rumor is probably true. To it we may not inappropriately add, that if such orders are issued te Major Anderson, Secretaries Toucey, Roit, Black and Stanton will probably resign. But we have not the least idea that the President ‘will accommodate the secession commissioners in this coanection—none whatever. Ss How It Was Maxacep.—We hear that on Christmas day Major Anderson dined formally ‘with thesecession authorities—chiefs—in Charles- ton, and was duly carried back to Fort Moultrie dy early moonlight, apparently very much over- come by the good things drinkable set before him. Those in charge of the steamer posted in ‘the channel to watch his movements in the fort, therefore thonght it would be safe for them to relax their vigilance and themselves takea Christ- mas night frolic, and in the midst of which An- derson and his force spiked Moultrie’s guns and landed mfely in Fort Sumter. The apparent in- toxication of Anderson was but a feint to have the very effect it did have. mt wt aetna See Tux Decision vrox THE Loan —The Secretary of the Treasury holds that the law gives him authority to reject any portion of the bids opened yesterday in his Department the acceptance of which in bis judgment may not be for his Treasury of the United States.

There is far too much at stake in the preservation of the Union, to permit the success of ambitious politicians, North and South, in their schemes for its destruction, when the ques- tion comes before the people of all the States upon any well-matured and really-conservative plan of settlement upon which all the border slavehold- ing States formally and officially demand a de- cision by each other State acting in its sovereign The true cause of the inability of the present Congress to solve the difficulty is, that too many of its members are mere politicians, playing, now, as heretofore, to strengthen themselves personally, by pandering to extreme opinions at home. Our life on it, whenever the question can be brought directly to the people, whether they are willing to surrender all the privileges, rights, prosperity and blessings resulting to ail the citizens of all the States from the Union, sooner than incorporate the Missouri Compromise in the Constitution, they will so unanimously choose the latter alternative, (and the question isalready thus narrowed down.) as that the hot-headed, or partizan-blinded public men who venture to oppose such a settlement seri- ously, will be as effectually buried beyond the reach of redemption in Massachusetts and Mis- New Jersey. {> The Richmond Enguwirer is undertaking to dragoon Gov. Letcher, of Virginia, into itsown crazy policy, by denouncing bim in advance as “a traitor and deceiver of the people who have recently elected him,” if certain rumors afloat respecting his forthcoming message are true. “Rumor is wide-spread,” says the Enguirer, “that bis message will oppose secession and re- sistance, denounce South Carolina, oppose a State Convention, and advocate the formation of a Cen- tral Republic with the Northwestern States. But, not satisfied with these reports, rumor attributes to the Executive efforts to prevent a State Con- vention by agitating the question of taxation— writing to astern men that the West will de- mand taxation of slaves, and to Western men It is Idle to attempt to prevent rumors at such a time as this; the most the press can do is to warn the public Not ovr Yrr.—It would seem after all that the South Carolina delegation, or some of them, con- sider themselves as yet belonging to Uncle Sam’s family.

Though fortunate entug need or desire any personal favor at of my government, I have never before o deep an interest in a Presidential election, because never before since the adoption of the Federal ‘Constitution bas our government been in such imminent danger. . The interest I have feltin-your election, is now transferred to your administration, I ‘believe It to be in your power to give such a turn to political opinion ‘and action as will avert all danger to our glorious Union for many future years. In addressing one of so much observation and experience on a subject which has necessarily commanded his most serious attention, I feel that I expose myself to the charge of presumption, but I console myself with the reflection, that if, as is most likely, I shall not advance an idea which is new to you, this letter cando no harm, while it will in some measure allay my own anxiety for the fature in the possibility that itmay do some good. We cannot shut our eyes to the fact that there has been in the South, ever since the days of nul- lification, a small disunion party. Their policy has been, both as to measures and men, so to shape their course as to produce alienation be- tween the North ad the South, in the hope and with the design that the disruption of thé Union would be the result. This party has generally acted with the Democracy, while they have sought to break down that party by proscribing leading Democrats of the North. It wasthiscourse which originally gave strength to freesoilism in the North, some northern politicians having thrown themselves upon that measure through resentment and for revenge. In the late contest this party supported you, not, as 1 verily believe, with any desire to secure your election. Certain it 1s, that they were the only party which jeopardized your election. Their defence of Brooks’ attack upon Sumner, their jus- tification of Missouri outrages in Kansas, their ultra pro-slavery doctrines, their annunciations in favor of a renewal of the African slave-trade, and constant threats of disunion, were all calculated, and I believe designed, to exasperate the northern mind and produce the election of Col. Fremont. Aud by taking the ground that if Fremont should be elected, the Union would at once be rightfully dissolved, they prepared the public mind for the catastrophe they hoped to witness. The conduct of these men operated against your election in another way. For obvious reasons no States are more devoted to the Union than Mary- land, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri and Louisi- ana. The conduct of your disunion supporters in the South enabied artful men in these States to represent you as a sectional candidate, whose fidelity to the Union was doubtful, and the vote for Fillmore sprung from the thorough-going Union sentiments of those States. In fine, it is my firm conviction, that but for the attack on Sumner, the outrages in Kansas and the justifica- tion of those acts in the South, there would not have been a serious contest in the late election. On the other hand, there is a small but grow ing disunion party in the North, and nothing can be more dangerous than the principles upon which the self-styled Republican party is organ- jzed, and nothing more unprincipled than the means adopte2 vy them to gain power. Few of ‘hem are ip favor of the dissolution of the Union, but they are sapping its foundations and casting firebrands amidst its drapery. Let them succeed im arraying a consolidated North against a con- solidated South, and maintain that array of parties through a succession of elections, and the end aimed at by southern disunionists will be at- tained. We have already premonitory indications of the game designed to be played by these extreme parties during your administration. Gov. Adams, of South Carolina, and various disunion newspapers are out in favor of a renewal of the African slave trade, thereby furnishing materials for northern agitators, while the Kansas question is renewed in the House of Representa. tives to prevent the disbandment of the Repub- lican party. Now the safety of the Republic requires that these parties shall be deprived of the power to excite their respective sections of the Union against each other: but how is it to be done? To my own mind the way seems clear. Let your administration, as the head of the Democratic party, assume and inflexibly maintain two posi- tons: as organized by the Constitution in its letter and spirit. Second. inflexible opposition to any forther agitation of the subject of slavery in the Terri- tories or elsewhere. Let it be understood that no man who :elks about a dissolution of the Union or maintains political relations with ¢isunionists South or agitators North, is to be consi a friend of the administration or a member bf the Democratic party. In short, let the Union sentiment in the spirit of the Constitution be embodied as the leading element in the administration and in that party. Many a patriotic man has been pained ond dis- gusted by the continual harping about the disso- lution of the Union by some of the Democratic papersand even those in Washington. Let all this be made to cease; let the public mind be led to have faith in procuring remedies of all exist. ing evils within the Union and no! out of it. Particularly let any newspaper which may be supposed to speak the sentiments of the Admin- istration be an exalted example of unwavering faith in the perpetuity of the Union, while {t ad- Vooates the rights of the States with no less grm- ness and zeal. The slavery question now rests where the Con. stitution left it. Whether it was wise to repeal the Missouri Compromise, it is unnecessary to de- cide. 1 always thought it a violation of the spirit of the Constitution, which presupposes thata State has been organized by the people composing it before Congress has any thing to do with it as a State, and that for Congress to interfere before admission with a view of shaping its institutions, is as inadmissible as their interference to alter them after admission. The true principle has been restored by the Kansas-Nebraska act and there is no difficulty in defending it in the North as well as in the South, If it be carri€d into effect in good faith and the northern mind be notexcited by the taunts, violence, and extreme opinions di- vulged by southern disunionists.
