through him that the Fowler dcfafcation was

resolutc action, and for vindication of the
strength aud integrity Of tho Government
The telegraph reported, doubtless with an al,-
proach TO literal accuracy, that before he had

Floyd five minutes, lie sent for Gen. Scott, to
consult that veteran chief upon the practical
details Of providing instantly for the defense

cession States, the object Of which
is to ,cxasperatc those who have
enlisted in the movement to encourage
them by false stories Of pccuniary distress
and suffering from want among the labor-
ing masses Of the North, and to render
more potent the reign Of terror by which,
for the time being, all conservative and
Union-loying sentiments hare been sup.
pressed. The secession organs abound
with dispatches Of this character, which
are made the basis Of the most violent ap-
peals to the Southern people appeals that
never would be made were there not press
ing necessity for them. There can he no
question but that this course is dictated by
dlstrust in the masses. Tho lending trai-
tors evidently fear the consequences of
leaving the people to their own thoughts,
to the promptings Of their innate loyalty.
An occasional letter from the South, writ
ten despite the surveillance under which
the mails have been placed, reveals the cx-
istence Of Union sentiment-the nucleus
around which strong and powerful party
will rally ut the first indication Of return
ing reason The leaders know the fact
and fear it. Not any less significant is the
silence Of Senator Hammond Of South
Carolina. He is not heard from in
any. Of the secession bulletins that
come to hand. He evidently has his
eye upon the *'mudsills" Of society in his
own State. So likewise in regard to the
conduct Of MI: Sidell. He openly an
nounces that Louisiana is bound to leave
the Union, but ut the same time he is can
ddate for reelection to the United States
Senate, and has himself urgad fer that Of
fee by his organs. He swims with the
current, but his action proves that he
knows the current will soon change its di-
rection. These are bnt n few Of the many
indications, adverse to the aims Of the Sc,
ccssionists, that every day now produces
