| | TRE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON OITY: THURGDAY.......-.-- . March 28, 1861. Spirit of the Morning Press The cnet argues thatone of the most irreparable evils growing out of the partial dis- memberment of our Untoris found in the fact that ‘secession,’ accomplished for the reasons assigned and in the way actually pursued, has destroyed the popular confidence in all haman arrangements under the head of civil goverment. The Republican argues that the interests of ‘Virginia are not dependent upon the extension of slavery; but that it is for ber welfare to preserve the National territories free from It. ee tion iN Issuz.—Our talented and natn pain of the Alexandria Sen- tinel, like all the rest of the men of the press engaged in the work of seeking to rob the people of Virginia of the liberty of free speech, the Mberty of the press, and the right of suffrage, and to Induce them to court ten-fold taxation upon themselves, only in order to fix the Oligarchy and their army of subordinate leaders in office for life at the people’s expense, seems incapable of doing a straight-forward thing. Thus, It never quotes the Srar withont garbling its publications—never However, in viegv of the persistence of the game of misrepresentition on which the disunionists base their hopes of success, to protest against its application to us, we know well, will be in vain. ‘We take pleasure in assuring the Sentine! that the only Unioniem which we regard as being of real value, is that which opposes disunionism ‘under whatever pretense {t may be urged; whether ‘as the means of reconstruction as !t was not long since urged on Virginis; or as the means of fully and finally severing Virginia’s connection with the Government of our’ fathers, as the ee and {ts colaborers one and all are now urging ‘We know weil that Congress has passed the pro- position to amend the Constitution of the United States, (by the constitutional two-third vote,) so ‘tbat the rights of slave-holders can never be In- fringed by the Government, in the States. We know well, also, that every State that basa personal liberty law om its statute book will re- peal it in the course of a few months, end thus ob- viate the fugitiveslave law grievance of the ‘We know, further, thet in establishing govern- ments for the three new Territories, Congress granted to the South all her rights in connection with slavery, which those of ber citizens asked who were not more anxious to make the question a stalking-horse for political and sectional agita- tion, than secure any practical right or benefit to the South. We know, still further, that the present Ad- ministration {s in no manner aggressing either the berder slaveholding or the seceded State ge uy more and that, on the contretyy iit’ sort than any pre- careful to. ai Kaminiatration ever was. And we know yet further, that whatever terms of guarantee for the future security of the real slavery rights and interests of the South In the Union the border slaveholding States’ Conven- tion may agree to ask of the North, will be granted by every non-slaveholding State tn due time; because all now know that those proposed stipulations will be drawn up in good faith to ob- tain guarantees, rather than to the end of getting them rejected by the Nortn, and thus eventually working the border States out of the Union; which will be the polity of the disunionists from the moment the Convention is determined to be held, until it finally consummates its labors. We therefore propose to oppose to disunion per se, Union per se. As far as in our power Hes, the People of the border States shall be made to com- prehend fully that the disunionists aim to rob them of all their distinctive American Liberties and franchises, only to the end of confirming in office for life unquestioned, the Cobbs, Toombs, Rhetts, Masons, Wigfalls, Garnetts, et al., who have already injured southern rights and interests quite as much as the abolitionists. We trust the Sentine? will not understand us as intimating our bellef that auy further geacentoes are necessary than the adoption by the North of the Corwin amendment to the Constitution, and the repeal of all the personal liberty bills. Know- ing, however, that many patriotic and sincere Union men in the border States think differently, we shall lsbor to aid them to obtein what they may ask, because they will ask nothing which the North may not frankly, fully and properly grant, under existing circumstances. We shall advocate them, too, as the best possible means of sweeping from under their feet all the semblance of grounds of present or future complaint against the Government of our fathers, on which our country’s domestic enemies now stand. By the time the border slaveholding States Convention meets, every citizen of thote States will realize that there is literally almost nothing whatever left in issue In connection with the slavery ques- tion; and that the question is gradually narrowin:, down between the advantages of becoming sub jects of the Government of the Oligarchy on the one hand, and of remaining citizens of the United States on the other; which {s just where we (per- sonally) desire to see the question stand. FDS AO RESIS Leto CONGRESSIONAL. Sanxatz —When our report closed, yesterday, the Senate had gone into executive jon = ‘The doors having been reopened, Mr. Breckin- tidge moved to take up bis resolution, advising the President to remove from the Confederate States the Federal troops now stationed there. He should regard the — upon that resolution as a test vote of the Republicans. Mr. Rice would fecept the resolution of the Senator from Kentucky, but should hesttate as to the substitute of the Senator from North Carolina. He did not see what right the Senate had to ad- vise the President in re! erence to the collection of the revenue under existing laws. ma Wade hoped tbe resolution of the Senator from Kentucky would be taken up, and tbat they should ti @ square vote upon it. He did not know what the policy of the Government was or would be, but he could tell ona i onght to be, and would like an opportunity to do so. Mr. Rice did not ink it proper for the Senate to advise the President in regard to matters which involve the execution of existing laws. It is for him to act in such cases for himself. Whilst up he would inquire of the Senator from Kentucky (Mr. Breckinridge) !f bis resolution extends to the Islands to the south of the main land in the Gulf States. If it includes those islands he (Mr. R.).would never advise the with- drawal of the troops from them. Key West and the Tortugas are not within the limits of the Confederated States, and in no respect belong to them. They are the epee of. this Union, and will be kept and defended by this Union at all bozards. z Mr. Breckinridge said that bis resolution siin- ly asked for the withdrawal of the troops from {nd limits of the Confederate States. He sup) sed that those limits include the Tortuges and Key West, because Tortugas and Key West are in Florida. But if any Senator chooses to amend the resolution he (Mr. B ) had offered so as to ex- clude those places from its operation, that would bea subject for grave consideration and delib- erate discussion. ‘He (Mr. B.) did not consider the inclusion of those places in the objects of the resolution as essential to the public peace at this time, and would be willing to see those forts exc:pted from the scope of the resolution. He hoped yet to see a re-union and all the States back again, but that could no: be until all the troops had been removed from the seceded States. He hoped there would be a new Union founded on the old principles of the Constitution. Fut if an ultimate separation should take place, he hoped the United States would not copy the pol- icy of Great Britain and bold places as strategic points—like Gibraltar, for instance. He would agrée to except the forts at Key West and Tor- tu; ‘ ‘Fhe Senate then engaged in discussing 2 mo- tion by Mr. Breckinridge to adjourn sine die, and finally adjourned to meet to-day at 1 p. m. degtstsasles Tuurspar, March 28. the true way to preserve the Union {s to maintain its laws; that the doctrine of anti-coercion ts des- ‘States as well as any other of the Union.

Hale wanted the resolution to lay over a short time. While he was a member of the Senate he did not feel willing to assume power which his constituency was not entitled to, nor to give the President advice not according with the rules of the Senate and Constitution. Mr. Foster wanted to know if debate was in order. He did not think the Senator had any right to go into a speech upon that subject pend: ing a@ motion. ‘ir Hale said he intended toexpress bisopinion upon the resolution, and it should not pass nor be rejected till be had done so ‘Mr. Powell desired to call up a resolution in- troduced a few days since, relative to the dis- patches from Maj.

Tue New Texeironiat Governments. —In view of the continued howling of the disuntonists over the territorial slavery question, it may not be amiss to call the attention of the Star's south- ern readers to the fact that in the laws establish- ing the three new territortal governments (passed at the last session of Congress.) under which ail the remaining United States territory has been divided up, there is not a clause, line or word in- vading or invalidating the right of the slaveholder to take his property Into them, or in any manner rendering {t insecure there. And, forther, that ‘according to the law of the land ss laid down by the Supreme Court of the United States, the rights of the slavebolder in those Territories are pre- cisely those announced in the Dred Scott decision. Wesubmit, therefore, that there remains nothing whatever in connection with slavery in the Ter- Titories over which any ground for a sectional squabble betweea South and North remains; the South having obtained all she asked, if ner repre- sentatives were acting in good faith not Jong since in voting that there was no need of further legis- Jation for the protection of slavery in the Territo- ties {n refraining from legislating against slavery 1m Territories, with the full knowledge of tue meaning of the Dred Scott decision, the majority of the last fiouse did that which cannot fail sooner or later to open the eyes of the People of the South to the fact that the prolongation of the hue and cry over the territorial slavery question in the South, ts but a bold trick resorted to to pre- vent the southern masses from turning their at- tention to the machinations of those in their own midst who are seeking to render successful the usurpation of the Oligarchy. ——<—___ In Tux Amuy oF THE Oticancuy, according to the list of officers recently published, we find our young townsman, Mr. Wright Rives, the eldest son of Mr. Join C.

Fot to Fort SumTEx.— The Washington c lent of the New York Tribune, under date of bh 26, says: Ca Fox, who visited Fort Sumter on the requisition of the War riment, bas returned bere and reported the result of bis mission. It is very well understood that he bad a plan for intro- ducing reinforcements, which bad been submitted to members of the Cabinet, and was regarded as mecsurably practicable but attended with the Probability if not certainty of collision. which constituted the chief objection to its adoption He is perfectiy familiar with all the approaches to the Larbor of Charleston, having been long connected with the const survey, and had practi- cal experience as the commander of one of Aspin- wall’s steamers. His scheme did not ey any serious danger in running the gauntlet of the batteries on the islands which guard the channels, but only in lending the provisions and men at Sumter, after it had been reached. If a fire was | the order of my cock opened upon the transports from Fort Moultrie = pene or the other batteries, it would be necessary for ecnee an Sumter to silence them in order to discharge the the sum of. 1 stock, wesc offer shs!! beac cepted, must deposit the amount offered and ac cepted with the Freasurer of the United States, or ‘With the Assistant Treasurer st Bortoa.New York, Philsdeipiua and St. Louis, or with the De; at Cincinnati, on or before the fiftesn!

Any attempt, therefore, looking to that object would almost inevitably lead to Dloodsbed, and before resorting to it the Admin- istration would be constrained to that alter- native. Even if successful without great loss of life, nothing would be gained but the retention of a fortress which has only a local value in protect- ing Charleston, and is of no national moment Gn r is folly impressed with the courage, Capt. Fox is fully im; courage, integrity and sincarity of Maj. Anderson, with whom, however, bis communication was neces- sarily limited, as Gov. Pickens sent Capt. Hart stein, late of our Navy, as an escort with him to the Fort, who kept within earshot during most of the Interview, or, at least, near enough oe vent any free communication. He considers that the fort can be reénforced either by a military operation, which, of course, would require a force not at th hos ee of the President, or by the strategy referred to, with its attendant hazards of a desperate confilct. The oP vy of provisions now in the garrison will probably en- able Maj. Anderson to sustain his command ronsonably well until the 16th of April. Prom ell the facts disclosed by this investigation, it is Manifest that Fort Sumter must be abandoned, or civil war inaugurated. Capt. Fox is cautious, intelligent and well-informed, and was brought to the notice of the Government by Mr. Aspinwall and some of the principal ship-owners of New York and Boston Mr. Lamon, of Iil., who also went to Charles- ton, to make certain inquiries, will retarn to- morrow evening or the next morning.
