FORT SUMTER.-We zee no reason to-day to
change the opinion expressed yesterday that orders
to evacuate Fort Sumter had not been issued; or
that such orders would not very shortly be issued.
We are very sure that while the chances are ten
to one that Sumter will be evacuated as a STRAIT
egetical necessity growing out Of the policy Of
Mr.. Buchanan In falling to act upon General
Scotts original advice to place the Notifications
In Charleston harbor in proper state Of defence,
President Lincoln contemplates no action there
or elsewhere Involving an acknowledgment Of
the right Of secession, by the Government Of the
United states. All here know well that while
firmly bent on denying to the revolutionsts the
collision they have been so long and pertina-
ciously seeking, he will do nothing that will
weaken the hands Of the now rapidly growing
Union party In the seeded States, as they will be
weakened by Governmental action here involv.
ing an Indirect denial by the United states Of
their lawful right to regard themselves as still
being its citizens. Without a collision with
arms, and with the door left open for their re-
turn to their allegiance as easily possible six
months will find every seeded State back in the
Union; by action Of the people Of those States
alone, involving the utter destruction Of the
authority Of the usurping oligarchy.
1t will be remembered that long before South
Carolina seeded, we predicted that the 4th of
March would find six seven States out Of the
Union, SO far an their action could put them in
that position, and the rest Of the slavehoIding
States either In convention or preparing to hold a
convention to determine what shall be their fu-
ture relations to North and South. Has not that
come to pass We now venture the prediction.
that II the United States do not Ire gun on land
at the South, for six months, not only will the Dor.
der slaveholding States Convention that will not
long hence assemble, settle the question over
whelmingly against secession, but that the people
of the seeded States will have themselves DUN.
