WASHINGTON Dec. 14-The Indications are
that Dickinson will succeed Gen. Cas-, as
Secretary of State.
There is but little confidence placed in
the assurance that South Carolina will not
resist the Federal authority, during Buch-
anan's administration.
Genl. Scott expressed the opinion that
additional forces shouldbe sent to South Caro-
lima. for the protection of public property.
The President sill Opposes such measure
on prudential grounds.
The Committee of 80 have decided to keep
their deliberations private. Adjourned till
Monday.
The publication of the manifesto of the
Southern members depressed the conserva-
lives, who say they are satisfied that the
South is opposed to any compromise or ac-
commodation whatever.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Il.
The community is restless and frverish to-
night, the resignation of Cass exciting all
evil suggestions and rumors associated with
Secession. Since my first despatch the resig-
nation has been denied, but my information
is direct. Mr.. Cass assigned as the reason
for bis action that be could not serve gov
ernment which is no government. Govern
ments have power 10 ex cute the laws. This
seems to have none. He insisted that Fort
Moultrie should be properly defended. am
told that Cass talked to the President like
patriot.
1t is also reported that Holt has intimated
that he will resign, insisting that the Post
Office laws must BE- executed. There is no
responsible voucher for this rumor.
The lady of Maj. Anderson, commanding
Fort Moultrie. waited on the President few
days ago and demonstrated that be had
placed her husband where he must be muir
dered or disgraced.
WASHINGTON. Dec. Is.
The Southern Aanifesto-7o Southern Constit-
uaats. The argument is exhausted. All hope
of relief in the Union through the agency of
the Committee and Congressional leglisla-
ton or Constitutional amendments is extin-
guished, and we trust the South will not be
deceived by appearances orthe pretence of
new guarantees. The Republicans are reso-
solute.in their purpose to grant nothing that
will or ought ITO satisfy the South. In our
judgement the honor, safety and indepen-
dence of the Southern people are to be found
only in Southern Confederacy the inevita-
BILE result of State Secession; that the sole
and primary aim of eacn slayeholding State
ought to be its speedy and absolute separa-
tim from an unnatural and hostile Union.
