Fort MOultrie and the President
BUCHANAN EBETS TREASON.
General CaSs Resigns.
SENSATION AT WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Dec l4.-Secessioniss and
antisecessiontsts have been in great excite.
ment over the news which has leaked out from
the Capitol, yesterday, concerning the requisi
ton of Major Anderson commander at Fort
Moultrie, for NOSE men and ammunition, and
the action of the cabinet thcreupou. Ii is
stated, On authority which [ think is not to be
disputed, that Major Anderson has decided
upon the necessity for a reinforcement to his
command and his supplies, not because be be-
lieved the danger of an attack upon Fort
Moultrie by the South Carolina forces to be
Immediately imminent, for the assurances
oE-eading Secessionists have been receiy-
that there will not be crisis OF this
sort precipitated, but because when the Sc
cession ordinance is passed, as it doubtless
will be in the early days of the convention,
there is no security that 4 Charleston mob
will not make a desperate onslaught upon the
nearest federal possessions. And if the men
at Fort Moultric and Fort Sumpter are to
fight, they are too few and their ammunition
too scanty. But whatever may be the grounds
been made.
The question OF acceding to Major Amber
sons request has been up before the cabi-
net, and it was decided not to grant it.
Secretary Cass, it is asserted, strongly urged
the propriety and the necessity of the oppo-
site course, Either Major Anderson was jus
tilted in making the requisition or not. Ii JUS
tilted, his request should be granted at once.
II not, then he is incompetent to fill his place,
and it should be supplied by some one who
would not make dangerous demand in troub
lous times SO long as he is in authority, the
means OF asserting his authority should be
conceded to him. In spite of these arguments,
which are unanswerabe the cabinet refused
to send any more men or ammunition to Fort
Moultrie, aud there the matter stands.
WASHINGTON, Dec. IA, 2 P. M.-There is
good reason to believe that Secretary Cass in
tends resignng but it is reported that the
president is endeavoring to dissuade him.
WAsHINGToN, Dec IA. - Later-General
Cass has resigned his position in the cabinet,
and his resignation produces profound i'm.
preston 1t is rumored that Mr.. Douglas in
the senate will declare it the duty of the presi-
dent to resist secession by force of arms.
There is no doubt that Gen. Cass has re
signed, and the indications are that Dickinson
of New York will be secretary of state, though
it is not altogether reliable. Little confidence
is placed in the assurances that South Carolina
will not resist the federal authorities during
the present administration. They are regard
ed as mere promises to quiet apprehensions in
official quarters. %ien. Scott hats expressed the
opinion that additional forces should be sent to
South Carolina, tor the protection OF publicprop-
erty, The president, however, is still opposed to
such IA course, for prudential reasons, he being
confident that it would only augment the
present excitement

Political Extracts.

At recent Republican Mass Con-
vcntion, in Dewitt county. H., Jack
son Grimshaw, Richard OgIcsby, Owen
Lovejoy, Trumbull, SchurZ and others
We're among the speakers. Judge
Grimshaw said
At the little Democratic meeting
here on Thursday, Allen and Busta-
mcnto Ficklin told you that Douglas
was for popular sovereignty pure and
simple. Both these men know it was
no such thing that Douglas had sur
rendered the whole thing in accepting
the Wicklifte proviso in the Baltimore
platform, even admitting that he had
any before. Allen said that the Ordin-
ance Of 1857 was nat Congressional
prohibition because our present Con
gress did not exist till after the adop-
ton of the Constitution, which was
after lIS7. Now, Jim Allen knew
very well that one Of the very first
acts of the very first Congress since
the Constitution was adopted, was the
rc-allirmation Of that ordinance.
Cheers. Mr.. Allen is said to pride
himself on the similarity of his style
of speaking to that of Judge Douglas.
He does resemble him in one thing
in his habit of pot telling the truth.
Great laughter.
A little faction Of Calhounists were
the first to deny the constitutionality
of slavery prohibition. He was the
father and grandfather of our modern
Democracy. Laughter.
The Nebraska Bill was simply a
bid for the Southern vote, which Doug
las won't get, but which Breckinridgc
will. The little man sold his birth
right for mess of pottage, and his
rival will eat it for him. Applause. !
Senator Benjamin declared that at
the caucus at which it was resolved to
repeal the Missouri Compromise. he
had himself made the suggestion that
the power to exclude slavery be not
given to the people, but reserved for
the decision Of the Supreme Court ;
and that in accordance with his sug-
gestion the power had not been Civ
en-. Cheers. Douglas said in his
Springfield speech that the Court in
the Dred Scott case had decided that
a master may go into a territory with
his slaves and hold them there af.
