DEPARTMENT OF STATE, April p, 1861.

by theSecretary CT State to Gov Hicks of Mary
land:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, April p, 1861.
Thomas Fl Hicks, Governor of MARYLAND.
Sir: | have had the honor to receive your
communication OF this morning, in which you
have informed me that you have felt it to be
your duty to advise the President of the United
States to order elsewhere the troops off Annapo-
lis, and q so that no more be sent through Mary
land, and that you have further suggested that
Lord Lyons be requested to act as mediator be-
tween the contcnding parties in our county, to
prevent the eifusion oil blood.
The President directs me to acknowledge the
receipt Of that communication, and to assure
you that he has weighed the counsels which it
contains with the respect which he habitually
cherishes for the Chief magistrates Of the several
States, and especially for yourself. He regrets
as deeply as any agistrate or citizen of the
country can, that demonstrations against the
safety Of the United States, with very extensive
preparations for the etfuson of blood, have made
1t his duty to call out the force to which you
allude The force now sought to be sent through
Maryland is intended for nothing but the defense
of this Capital.
The President has necessarily confded the
choice of the National highway which that force
oia!l lahe Ill couinU w tnls ClCy 10 Lieut.. ten.
Scott, commanding the army of the United
States, who like his only predecessor, IS not less
distinguished tor his humanity than for his low
atty, patriotism. and distinguished public SER
vice.
The President instructs me to add that the
national highway thus selected by the Lisuten-
ant General has been chosen by him upon con-
sultaton with prominent magistrates and cti-
zens of Maryland, as the one which, while
route is absolutely necessary, IS further removed
from tho populous cities of the State, and with
the expectation that it would, therefore, be the
least Objectionable one.
The President cannot but remember that
there has been time in the history of the Amer.
ican Union when forces designed for the defense
OF its capital were not unwclcome anywhere in
the State of Maryland, and certainly not at
Annapolis then, as now, the Capital of that
patriotic State, and then, also, one of the can
itals of the Union. IF eighty years could have
obliterated all other noble sentiments of that
age in Maryland, the President would be hone
iul, nevertheless, that there is one that would
forever remain there and everywhere. That
sentiment is, that no domestic coz tention what
ever that may arise among the parties Of this
republic, ought, in any case to be referred to
any foreign arbitrament, least of all to tho ar
bltramont of an European Monarchy.
have the honor to DO, with DISTINGUISHED
consderat ton,
Your Excellency's most obedient servant
WILLIAM II. SEWARD.

It is idle to deceive ourselves any longer with
the ds: .Aa5 the sober, second thought OF the
South will change the policy inaugurated 10y
her ambitious and disappointed leaders. Her
reasonable plans are already contaminated.
1t is eqauly idle to count upon Der weakness.
Her President is an able dlplomatlst is posses
sed of executive ability of the highest order; is
skillful in planning and prompt in execution.
Her Military Captains have genius and large
experience. The successes which the forbcar-
ance of the Government has enabled her to at
tain, has rendered her exultant in treason, and
already the border States are dropping one by
one into the secession ranks. The blood of
Massachusetts, has been shed at Baltimore.
There is no longer passage for oar troops to
the National Capital and the Capital itself is
threatened with destruction
War Is inaugura,ed ; a war between patriots
and rebels, in which the question of FREQ insti-
tutions and self-governmcnt is to be settled for
ever. The die is cast the issue is taken our
glorious old Constitution, cemented by the blood
of our Fathers, is to be sustained, or VIC are to
60 down in anarchy and Slavery, bye-word
and II hiss among the nations of the earth.
Men of Vermont what is your response? BY
the memories of Allen, Warner, and Stark-by
the blood your Fathers conseclated to Freedom
at Bennington, Hubbardton, and Saratoga-by
all that is hallowed in the past, and all that is
hoped tor in the future, awake
Rhode Island, with her gallant Governor, is
in the field. Massachusetts, rocked in the era
die of liberty, has responded with six Regi
ments at tho first drum beat, and thousands
moro of her gallant sons are hurrying to revenge
the blood of the 10Th of April, 1861, as their
fathers did that of the 10Th of April, l775 -
Vermont has appropriated million dollars,
and doubtless will provide for Immediately
placing four regiments on war footing, Let
these Regiments be filled with Green Mountain
Boys resolved to save their Country or dic.-
There should be no delay. One Regiment is
ready. The others soon will be. 1t is no
longer a war of words 1t is blow for blow,
and steel for steel. A passage must be opened
to our National Capital, and that Capital must
be saved. Treason must be driven from all our
borders, and traitors must receive traitors
doom. The boosted chivalry of tho South must
be met and conquered by Northern courage
Tho property of the Government must be re-
possessed, and, if necessary, American Slavery
destroyed forever.
Our cause is just, and under God we shall
succeed. The good old ship will not be left to
cry in vain from the battle-felds of the Revo-
luton Let US do our duty as patriots and
men, and we shall be able to sing,
