of Office in New York or Philadelphia, or even
in Springfield; but here doubt has arisen in

to constitutional reIuirelnrnt-that is, III joint

for it is expected that liItcen Southern States

Sir: On the evening Of the 9th Instant
read the following paper to you in the presence
Of the Cabinet:
"CocyciL CnAwBEE,
"Execurive Mansion.
"SIg: It is evident iow from the action ol
the commander 1T Fort Moultric that the SOL
emn pledges Of this Government have been vic.
lated by Major Anderson In my judgment
but one remedy is now left us by which to vim,
dicate our honor. and prevent civil war. It is
in vain now to hope for confidence on the part
Of the people Of South Carolina in any further
pledges as TO the action Of the military One
remedy only is left, and that is, to Withdraw
the garrison from the harbor Of Charleston nj
together hope the President will allow Inc
to make that order at once. This order, in
my Judgment, can alone prevent bl0odShc'l
and civil war. JOHN L. FLOYD,
Secretary of War.
"To THE PRESIDENT.

tration pledged to maintain the troops in the
position they occupied; for such had been the
assurances given TO the gentlemen OF South
Carolina who had right toSspcak for her
South Carolina oil the other hand gave rcclpro-
cal pledges that no force should be brought by
them against the troops, or against the proper
ty OF the United States. The sole object OF
both parties 10 these reciprocal pledges WAS 10
prevent collision, and the cituSiOn Of blood; IN
the hope that some means might be found for
4 peaceful accommodation Of the existing
troubles, the two houses Congress lave both
raised committees looking 10 this object.
Thus affairs stool until the action Of Major
Anderson Qakcn unfortunately, while com.
miSsioncrS were on their way TO this capita!
Oh a peaceful mission looking to the arodaHce
of boGdshed) has complicated matters in the
existing manner Oar refusal, or even delay,
to place affairs back as thcy stood under our
agreement invites collision, and must inevitably
lnauguratc civil war in our land. cannot
consent to be the agent Of such 4 calamity.
deeply regret TO feel myself under the ne
ccssity of rendering to You my resignation rs
Secretary of War, because can no longer hold
it under my convictions Of patriotism, nor
with honor, subjected as am TO the violation
Of solemn pledges and pliShted faith.
