A letter from General Scott to Mr. Seward, dated
March, 1861, was read. In this letter General
Scott said that the only plans open to President
Lincoln were the adoption of the compromise pro-
posed by Mr. Crittenden, or to attempt the conquest
of the South, which was practicable in three years,
with 300,000 men, under Generals like Dessaix,
Wolfe, and Roche, but at an enormous cost of blood
and treasure. But the people would never after-
wards be brou;ht into harmony with their con-
querors, and would have to be held in subjection
for generations by large garrisons.
General Scott favoured the adoption of the Crit-
tenden Compromise, or allowing the South to de-
part in peace.
The draught in New York has been postponed
till after the elections.
