THREATENED RUPTURE OF MR.. BUCHANAN'S
CABINET-THE POSITION OF TIE PRESIDENT
AND HIS ADVISERS ON THE SECESSION CUES
TI0N-HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM WASHING
WAsuINaroN. Nov. 90. Ist

WARRINGTON, Nov. ~, 1861.
The discussions Of the question that Is now sgtating
the whole country and the position which the President
shall take regarding it in his forthcoming message has
brought the Cabinet to the verge of break up and it
may end in that before the first Monday in December,
when Congress will meet.
The President insists that the constitution Of the United
States establishes government and he, as the sworn
head and executive thereof and will insist upon the
execution Of the federal laws that the idea opeaceabe
secession by any State is falacy which he does not
recognise and must resist to the full extent OF power
10 this view he supported by Glass; Black roucey and
Holt.
On the other hand the Southern members Of the Cab
net-Floyd, Cobb and Thompson-hod that the consti-
tuition ia merely compact which may be broken at any
moment by single State which may wish TO retire from
the conederacy by declaring wish to do So and that
in so doing they should rot be moested by the federal
government.
That portion Of the message treating Of this question
of secession still under discussion which will continue
until compromise is found the Cabinet breaks up in
row. You can rely upon these facts and that the adj
ministration is in a crisis
