THE REvOLUTIONISTS MUST COM.
MENCE THE WAR.

No war against any State can or will be com.
menced by the National Government.
The laws will be enforced but these laws
operate not upon States, but upon individuals
If there is war, it must be commenced by the
revolutionists, and the National Government
will then act on the defensive.
A Southern correspondent of the New York
Times, of December q, discusses the matter
very intelligently, in a communication, from
which we make the following extract:
"The fundamental error of the OConors
and the McKeons is this they take it for
granted that, in the words of the New York
organ Of the panic-makers, as soon as Lin
coin comes into power on the 4th of March, he
will ,oage toar against the seeding States If
he should do this, we might expect to see
united South, standing bravely, though ever so
hopeiessly, together, to defend their homes to
the last extremity against invading Federal
forces. That is precisely what their secession
leaders are praying for, as the only means by
which they can keep the frantic passions of the
masses up to the work of revolution, and thus
prevent them from stopping to think. But Mr..
Lincoln will do nothing of the sort. He will
pursue, only with more dignity and patriotic
frmness, the very course which you have pre-
scribed for Mr.. Buchanan he will collect the
revenues at all the ports of entry in the Union,
South as well as North, disregardng and ig.
noring all State acts Of secession. His Admin.
stration ,oiH not declare war against the sece.
ding States nor will it send armies to coerce
them into availng themselves of the benefits
Of United States courts, Federal post offices,
&c. These facilities are established for their
own benefit and not for that of the United
States; and if they choose to repudiate them,
it will be wise in the General Government to
abstain from exercising its undoubted right to
keep that portion of the machinery of Federal
power in operation. Mr.. Lincoln will do so.
But he will collect the revenues from imports ;
and il it cannot be done on shore, without the
Intervention of Federal arms and consequent
conflict with the people, it will be done by
revenue cutters, in the vicinity, and supported,
if need be, by the entire naval force of the
Union.
"This policy will result in practical block

NEW YoRK-ARMING THE STATES.

NEW YORK-ARMING THE STATES.
We have referred to letter of Mr. Haskin
to the Governor of New York, suggesting, in
behalf of the delegation here, that New York
troops be got into condition to sustain the Gov.
ernment.
The whole subject is one Of great delicacy.
The States have no right to raise and main.
tain troops in time Of peace.
And it is especially important that the con
Aict which may be impending, should not even
seem to be between different States, but between
the National Government and insurrection.
The patriotism of the New York delegation
and of the State Of New York are unquestiona
BILE, and it will strengthen the hands of the in
coming President, to receive assurances Of sup
port from so powerful quarter.
But, above all things, there must be no ap
pearanSe Of a conflict between sections.
If there is any duty, now more than ever re.
quired from the Northern Governors, in the
language of their annual messages, it is the
duty of discretion.

FLOYD RESIGNED FORT SUMTER
NOT TO BE ABANDONED.

This city has never been so excited as it was
during Friday and Saturday, by the pendency
and uncertain result Of the question in the
Cabinet, of recalling Major Anderson. 1t in
volved the larger question, of abandoning, or
sustaining, national power in the harbor of
Charleston. Everybody felt it to be so. The
nulli6ers worked with frantic energy and on
the other side, in addition to remonstrances
from friends here, the President received dis.
patches from Pennsylvania of.the most ener.
getic character, against yielding further to the
treason Of South Carolina.
On Friday, the Cabinet stood three and
three, Mr.. Toucey undecided. Contrary to first
reports, Mr.. Floyd was for recalling Major An
derson, and was sustained by Thompson Of
Mississippi and Thomas of Maryland. On the
opposite side, were Messrs. Black and Stanton
of Pennsylvsnia, and Holt Of Kentucky. On
Saturday, Mr.. Toucey Joined the opposition to
the recall of Major Anderson. The decision
of the President being in harmony with that of
a majority of his Cabinet Mr.. Floyd resigned,
and his resignation was accepted. 1t is re-
ported that Mr.. Thompson would resign, but
for the tendency of the investigation into the
robbery in his Department. 1t is of little con,
sequence, as it is not conceivable that he will
have the impudence to remain in the Cabinet
after Mississippi secedes, which will happen
now in few days.
The version of the affair given by Floyd's
friends is, that he and the President were person
ally pledged to preserve the statu quo of the forces
in the harbor of Charleston, and that this pledge
could only be redeemed by ordering Major An
derson to Fort Moultrie. OF course, to put him
back there, was to put him where the rebels
could butcher him, and to this the President
would not assent.
1t is felt by everybody here, except the nulli,
fers, to be a great relief to be rid Of Floyd.
While it cannot be said that the agony is
over, it is felt that Charleston is efectually
suubbed by fort in its harbor, over which the
stars and stripes float in triumph, and which
the traitors have not the military resources to
subdue

MIR. DOOLITTLE'S SPEECH.

The Congressional notes" of the States,
considering his adverse political bias, treats
Senator Doolittle's speech very fairly. He
says:
"What heard of the speech was suggestive.
Taking up the statements authoritatively made
OF the annual loss in Virginia by runaway
slaves, and regarding it in comparison to the
value of slaves in that State, the Senator
showed that there was little cause to com mpan,
rs the risk on slave property, by the showing
of Virginia herself, was but quarter of a mill
on the dollar; which was insignificant when
compared with the risk on other kinds of prop.
erty. From this fact he drew an argument in
favor of Union. The risk Of slave property,
now so trifing, would doubtless run up to ten
per cent. in the event of a dissolution of the
Union. The Southern extremists were only
playing in the hands of the Northern ex.
trenists for, as the Senator said, the Garrison
aboltionists and men of the Wendell Phillips
school are just as anxious to disrupt and split
up the Union as the extremists of the cotton
States or of South Carolina. Touching on the
right of secession, the Senator made some
striking suggestions. BE believes the right of
secession involves the right Of expulsion. If
one State has the right to secede from the
others, those remaining have an equal right to
Secede from one II lne rlgnt OF secession De
acknowledged, then any State during period
of war between the United States and foreign
country, could, by resolution, secede from the
former, and place herself at the disposal of the
latter. Had the right to secede been acknow
edged, the Hartford Convention could have
resolved one or more New England States out
of the Confederacy at the period of a war with
Great Britain, and placed the forts, arsenals,
aud munitions in Boston harbor, for in
stance = at the service of the enemy.
Senator Doolttle created a marked i'm
preston by these views, and sustained himself
in the attention of the galleries while he pro
ceeded to show why Florida and Louisiana
which had cost the Union so much money
should not, by resolution of Convention, dis
connect themselves from the Union which had
purchased their soil for the general benefit
and permitted their elevation into States in
furtherance Of that purpose, while, as in the

MR.. SECRETARY FLOYD.

A letter from Gen. Wool, published in Troy
IN. W paper, states, that on the 9th of this
month, ten thousand muskets were sold out Of
the Watervliet IN. Y. arsenal, at two dollars
aud fifty cents apiece, to s. B. Lamar Of Geor'
gia. The time, the price, and the party to
whom the arms were sold, have, in connection
with other circumstances, confirmed the public
belief that the War Department has been man.
aged in the interest of treason.
Until now, Mr.. Floyd has deceived many
persons as to his real position.
He has been ostentatious in his declarations
that he would hand over the forts in Charles.
ton TO his successor. But the movement of Ma.
jor Anderson into Fort Sumter unmasked him
He then showed himself on the side of revolu.
ton, and joined actively in the attempt to have
Major Anderson recalled.
Personally, Floyd is believed to have more
reason than most men, to desire that this Gov
ernment should be overthrown, that its archives
should be destroyed, and that no motive should
remain for inquiring into its transactions.
The national Republican., 1860-12-31

How 1T WAS MANAGED.-We hear that on
Christmas day Major Anderson dined formally
with the secession authorities - chiefs -
Charleston, and was duly carried back to Fort
Moultrie by early moonlight, apparently very
much overcome 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, thought it would be safe
for them to relax their vigilance, and them.

officer at Fort Moultrie, having policy of in.

soon be attacked, and the certainty that it
would be defended to the last extremity" and
inquiring what would be the effect upon his

swered, that, although the company was not
legally liable where the assured fell in battle,
yet, "if he should thus fall now, while doing
