Secession.
WASHINGTON, May Sit is not considered f,r tho
pubic advantage that erroneous statements of the
proceedings in the councils of the Administration
should go abroad. The assertions that the Spcre-
tary of State and Navy have differed from their
colleagues and from the President, wavering when
"thers were hrm and energetic, are without foun
datlon Equally untrue are the reports circulated in
other quarters that the Secretary of the Treasury
differs in some manner from the President or other
members of the Cabinet. The fact that such err
roneous ideas obtain currency is regarded as the
best evidence that the situations OF the Cabinet
are as they ought to be, cOntidentiay kept The
ABOVE is predlcated on information from the hgh h.
est authority.
The reports of General Harvey being disafTected
TO the Government are altogether groundless He
mas addressed letter to his friend Colonel O. Fal-
len, at 81. Louis, declaring that he will never
serve unuer any power than the one he has fol-
lo"eu ior 4o years. Ihat he will continue in the
service OF the Government which has bestowed its
honors upon him, and long as he has breath will
be its faithful and loyal soldier. He denies the
right of secession and says it will lead to universal
anarchy Ihat the secessionists design to establish
military dictatorship have made war upon the
Government and dishOnored its fac That se
cesslon would be utter ruin to Missouri and
he implores his fellow citizens of that State not
TO be seduced by designing men to become the in
StTuments OF their mad ambition, aud plunpe the
State in revolution. He declares that whether
governed by feelings inspired by the flag he has
served under, or by his judgment of duty as a sol
der ana citizen, or BY his interest an owner of
property and resident of Missouri he feels bound
to stand by the Union and remaining in its service
VIII devote his efforts to the maintenance of the
Federal Government and the perpetuation of its
blessings to posterity.
