MONTGOMERY, Ala, May Z. 1861.
SIR 81 submit 10 your two letters that
were addressed by me to the Hon. w. II.
Seward, Secretary OF State Of the United
States, that contain an explanation of the
nature and result of an intervention by
me in the Intercourse of the Commission
ers of the Confederate States with that
officer. J considered that l could per
form no duty in which the entire Ameri-
can people, whether OF the Federal Union
or of the Confederate States, were more
interested than that of promoting the
counsels and the policy that had for their
object the preservation of peace. Thi-
motive dictated my Intervention. Beside,
the interview referred to in these letters
/ informed the Assistant Secretary ofState
of the United States mot being able to
see the Secretary on the llth of April
ultimo, of the existence of a telegram OF
that date from Gen. Beauregard TO the
Commissioners. in which he informed the
Commissioners that he had demanded the
evacuation Of Sumter, and, if refused, he
would proceed to reduce it. On the same
day, ! had been told that President Lin
coin had said that none of the vessels.
sent TO Charleston were war vessels, and
that force was not to be used in the at
tempt to supply the Fort. / had no
means of testing the accuracy Of this IN
formation but offered that If the infor
nation was accurate ] would send tele-
gram to the authorities at Charleston.
and it might prevent the disastrous con
sequences Of n collision at that fort be
tween the opposing forces. 1t was the
4ass t9 if ett9rt tAl n alr E e 4---fsnt sed4
tary promised to give the matter atten
ton, but / had no other intercourse with
him or any other person on the subject
nor have l had any reply to the letters
submitted to you.
Very respectfully,
JOHN A. CAMPBELL.

The PREsIDEHT or THE UNITED STATES
Greedy has more than once intimated that
on certain contingencies Lincoln would
be superseded.
The public may not yet have been adj
vised Of the secret reasons which might
lead the Black Republicans 10 supersede
lconstifat0naky, Of course, the President
OF the United States.
We have before us a private letter from
Baltimore, written by man Of the high
est personal character. The subiOined ex-
tract will show how much our people are
blest in the charcter and qualifications
Of a President who says nobody is hurt"
that they twist lies out of him some
times" and that he must work the ma
chinery as he finds il. The pitiable inn
becle now seeks TO drown a sense Of the
embarrassment with which Black Repub-
licenism has surrounded the atccGss0r n
George Washington.
I'VE have many hopes also based upon
the policy and passion Of the LincolniteH;
they are mad and spare no pines 70 ex-
4sperate our people 70 exiremities. II is
an ascertained fact that Mr.. Lincoln has
taken 10 excessive drink. He WAS 20
much intoxicated on last Saturday, dur
ing Mayor Browns interview with him. as
