The Withdrawal Of the Troops.
The Baltimore Clipper says:


If Anderson and Slemmer, with their com
mands, were out of Sumter and Pickens
there would be neither excuse nor opportG-
nifty TO-. the beginning of hostilities on the
part of the people OF the seeded States; and
they might be left alone 10 cool their pas
sion and suffer the pena ties Of their own un-
reason, until they should find among them
selves q reYulsiOn of public opinion that
would and unquestionably will in time tear
down and trample under foot their rebelious
State flags, reject as lawless and void their
passiOn-dictated ordinances OF secession, and
resume their allegiance 70 the Federal Union
and their obedience TO its laws -as.
II Anderson and Slemmer were out OF the
Forts they occupy, this would be the result,
and there is really strong hope for their hon
orable withdrawal by the Government not
upon compulsiOn u under menace, but Of its
own free will, and in accordance with the dc
tates Of practical common sense These Forts
were erected and garrisoned tor the protee
ton from foreign invasion OF that part OF
the country in which they are situated
If the people Of that section no longer
desire protection, but are willing TO under
take to defend themselves from foreign
invasion, and il the people of Texas do
not desire the protection Of the Federal
Government against the incursions Of hos
tile Indians, the Government might very wail
and very reasonably and very rightfully with
draw this protection, and remove at the
anne time theloniy i'm edihts pretext for ir-
ritation, and the only actual danger of hos
tile collision. Texas and Florida and South
Carolina would soon get tired of their bar
gain, and gladly accept gsrrisons and troops
from the United States to protect their coasts
aud their borders and their no mes and their
fresides. Take from them their postal facil-
tiles and the protection hitherto extended by,
the United States Army and Navy, and they
will soon be brought to reason and to repent
ance. This woulc be a sp.actical peace policy,
and productive of good results. The present
administration can afford well TO adopt it.
and by so doing, it would strike adeath blow
to secessi and build up an irresistible
Union party throughout the whole South.
