His argument in favor Of the right Of secession,

The Resignation OF the Secretary of Wal

The Resignation OF tho SccretRrJ -
The resignation Of Secretary Floyd, which
was rendered on Saturday last, vii! be deeply
regretted by the people Of Virginia. Under
the circumstances, Secretary Floyd has done
onlv what every high-toned gentleman would
have done.
The Administration had given an unquall;
fed pledge. to the Representatives from South
Carolina, that no re-inlorcenents shouia W
sent to the Forts, and that their status snouid
no, be changed, if the authorities and people
Of South Carolina would make no attempt TO
seize the Forts. South Carolina gave the pledge,
and, what is more, honorably obserredit- Under
IFS operation peace was preserved, and the
neace, commissioners from that State were IN
10 violate snat p!euSs, ~ vtaist~ato ts,o,sS Of
the forts, and to hazard the peace of the coun'
try. Gov. Floyd considered this action Of Maj
Anderson as violating the pledge of the admin
!~strat!on, and ruinous to the policy which, under
the pledge of the President, had preserved the
peace. The ~rc-occupation of Fort Moultrie By
Major Anderson, Secretary Floyd considered
just and proper, and made it the condition Of
his longer remaining in the Cabinet The Pre-,
sidcnt admitting the pledge, yet refused 10 or.
der Major Anderson to Fort Moultrie, and Sc
erctary Floyd would no longer remain a men,
Der Of the Administration which would permit
its subordinate officer, by violating its pledge,
to ruin its policy and involve the country in
civil war. He, therefore, resigned; and the peo.
pie in Virginia, while deeply resretting his loss
to the War Department at this time, will yet
sustain him in his action.
If the rumor be true that Gen. Scott has
been appointed to the War Department, with
his previous declarations against the South, it
will speedily involve the country in civil war
indeed, we should not be surprised il individu-
al action did not precipitate Virginia into col
. liSion with the Federal Government.
