Gen. Scott's Supplement to his
Views.


1t will be remembered that Gen. Scott
presented some written "views" to Pres
ident Buchanan in the fall of 1860, rela.
tive to the policy proper to be pursued in
the political exigencies then approach.
ing. 1t seems that he afterwards wrote
"a supplement" for Mr.. Lncoln's benefit.
This document has lately come to light,
and is as follows:
WASHINGTON, March 3, 1861
"Dear Sir:-Hoping that in a day or
two the new President will have happily
passed through all personal dangers, and
find himself installed an honored success
sor of the great Washington, with you as
chief of his Cabinet, beg leave to report
in writing what have before said to you
orally, this supplement to my printed
''views" dated in October last) on the
highly disordered condition of our $50
late) happy and glorious Union.
'''ro meet the extraordinary exigencies
of the times, it seems to me that | am
guilty of no arrogance in limiting the
President field of selection to one of
the four plans of procedure subioined.
IL. Throw off the old and assume q
new designation the Union party
Adopt the conciliatory measures propos-
ed by Mr.. Crittenden or the peace Con-
vention-a my life upon it, we shall
have no new cases of Secession; but, on
the contrary, an early return of many, if
not all, of the States which have already
broken off from the Union. Without
some equally benign measure the remain
ing slaveholding States will probably join
the Montgomery Confederacy in less than
sixty days, when this city being included
in foreign country, would require per-
manent garrison of at least thirty-five
thousand troops to protect the Govern
ment within 1t.
80. Collect the duties on foreign goods
outside the ports of which this Govern
ment has lost the command. or close such
ports by act of Congress and blockade
them.
80. Conquer the seeded States by in
vading armies. No doubt this might be
done in two or three years 10y young
and able General-a Wolfe, a Desaix or a
Hoche, with three hundred thousand
disciplined demonstrating third for
garrisons, and the loss of q yet greater
number by sickness, sieges, battles and
Southern fevers. The destruction OF
life and property on the other side would
be frightlul, however perfect the moral
discipline of the invaders
The conquest completed at the enor-
nous waste of human life to the North
and Northwest, with at least two hundred
and fifty million dollars added thereto,
and cui bono. Fifteen devastated provin.
ces, not to be brought into harmony with
their conquerors, but to be held for gen.
erations, by heavy garrsons, at an expense
ouadruple the net duties or taxes which
it would be possible to extort from them,
followed by protector or an emperor.
81. Say to the seeded States-way-
ward sisters depart in peace.
"In haste, remain very truly yours,

O. the Company to prepare at once such things
