you as the Chief Of his Cnbnct-l beg leave TO re-
psat IN writing what have before said to you
ora!ly-this supplement to my printed views in
october last. on the highly disc derei condition
Of our 50 late happy and glorious Union 70 NEE;

seems that am guilty Of no anIovance in unit
ing the Presidents 6e d Of selection to Of the
four plans of procedure subjoined:

nation-the Union party-adopt the conciilatory
measures p opposed by Mr. Crttenden Ut tn peace
| convention, and my life upon it. We shall have no
new OF secession, but on the contra an early
return Of many, if not aN the states winch have
already broken of from the Union. Without some
equally benign mea sure, the remaining slavehol-
| ing States will rrobaoiy join the Aontgo cry
Cont ederacy in less than 90 days. when this city
| being included in foreign country, would re.
quire q permanent garrison OF mt least $1,000
! troops to protect the Government within it.
| "a. Collect tho duties IN flreign goods outside

| Sd Conquer he seeded States by invading ar
/ mics. No doubt this might be doue in two or

Of tn invaders. The conquest completed at that
