Thi, passage clearly indicates that Dir. Seward

would be far more consistent with the genius of

The late Secretary of the Interior, Jacob Il.
Thompson of Mississippi, made an address to his
friends and neishbors few days ago, in which
he narrates in a very frank, straightforward man
ner the action of Mr.. Buchanau's Cabinet in the
beginning Of the Secession outbreak. There was
no serious trouble until it was known that Mr..
Lincoln was elected; then arose q discussion
upon the rights and powers Of the General and
State Governments. On the right of a State to
secedc the Cabinet split at once; but on tho
right Of the General Government to coerce
rebel, all agreed in the negative. Thompson held
strongly to the right to sccede but kept his place
in the hope, as he says, of preserving peace. lie
agreed with the President that it was his duty
TO enforce the laws and hold public property;
but held that tic army and navy could only be
used as q posse to aid the civil authority, and
here his little dodge was that as oil the civil
executive officers in South Carolina had re-
signed, there could be no attempt to uphold the
laws. Without magistrate" says he, IN
the joliest mood, " there could DO no
process; without. process there could
be no arraignment, and, therefore no justlnca-
% ton for calling in military forces ana hence
" enforcing the laws was an impoasibility, inas-
much as the machinery for its accomplishment
"was wanting" And having consPlred to bring
about this state of afairs-haying tied the Pres
ident hand and foot, this pink of honor magnan-
imously consented to remain in the Cabinet
though of course without any idea that he would
thus tho better carry out his treason. But when
It was proposed to reinforce Major Anderson,
Thompson violently opposed the movements Gen.
Cass Indignantly resigned, tho President got
scared, first would and then would n01' ana
finally entered into secret bargain with certain
South Carolina traitors, to leave Anderson to his
fate; and even went SO far as to hear with
(" chagrin and modification" Of Anderson's bril-
liant movement from Moultris b Sumter$ This
event " compromised the hoDor" Of Gov. Floyd,

the arch.traitor and thief, who threw up b.
commission because the President would not re-.
move Anderson from his nsS quarters. Nobod,
asked Thompson who shond take Floyd's place.
Tnd when Holt was appointed, Thonpsoa drew
up MS resignation and called upon Mr. Buchanan.
The brooklyn had been put in readiness to re-.
enforce Anderson. but at the last moment lii,
President backed out and assured Tboomon
that the orders had been countermanded and
that no others would be given until after the
Cabinet had given its approval. Thompson va.
satisfied, and the sun rose next morning a,
usual. OF the doiDgs abeat the time of sendio,
messenger to Anderson, Thompson refesins
from speaking, "because ell Cabinet con,uIta.
" tons are confidential" In the Star of tbs
West business, Thompson says he was deceived.
and did not know that il had been decided q,
send achievements. The moment he found that
reanfOrcements were on the way, he telegraphed
to leading rebel in Charleston to look out foe
the vessel, whereby " the troops were put on
" their guard; and when the Star Of the West
81 arrived, she received warm welcome from
" booming cannon, and soon beat retreat. I
was rejoiced that the vessel was not sunk, bat
% as still more rejoiced that the concealed
trick FIRST conceived by Gen. Scott, and
" adopted by Secretary Holt, but eountermanded
"by the President when too late, proved .
failure
Such is the impudent confession and such the
boast of one of the Benedict Arnolds Of the Cab
ine,-the perjured villain who used his means OF
information as q confidential counselor Of tho
President to warn the enemies Of his country Of
the preparations made for sustaining and defend
ing the national flag. We dare say that had
Andrew Jackson been in the White House, Mis-
sissppi would have lost the services Of her most
honorable and distinguished son, and human
nature been spared the disgrace of such an in.
famous confession as this Of Jacob r. Thompson.

Of The Journal Of Commerce that the Republican
members Of the Old Gentlemen's Conference in
that city "are willing to hazard the integrity

"and drive the Border Slave States out of the

The Savannah papers publish the orders Of

says that shortly after the five ships were seized,
on the 9th inst, he was informed that the arms
stopped here had been given up; he, there.
fore, ordered the release Of the property in sa.
vannah harbor. But he has since learned that
the arms arc still held here; consequently he
thinks be should prove recreaut to his State if
he did not renew his act Of piracy, and he ac-
cOrdiDgly directs the officer to whom the man
date is addressed to take possession of as much
property belonging to citizens of New-York as
