WAsnrNGroN March 81, 1861.
DEAR Sra = Hoping that in day or two the
new President will have happily passed through
all personal dangers, and find himself installed an
hsnored successor Of the great Washington, with
you as the Chief Of his Cab,net-I beg leave to re-
psat IN writing what | have before said TO you
oraily-this supplement to my printed views in
October last. on the highly disc derei condition
Of our 80 late happy and glorious Union 10 NEE:
the extraordinary exigencies Of tho times, ~
seems that am guilty OF no anGovance Ia limit
ing the Presidents 6e Of selection TO one Of the
four plans of procedure subjoined:
lst. Throw Of the old an assume new desg-
nation-the Union party-adopt the concilliAiory
measures q opposed by Mr.. Crittenden Ut tho peace
conv ention and my life upon it. We shal! have no
new case Of secession oat on the contra an early
return Of many, if not all the states which nave
already broken off from the Union. Without some
ing States will probably join the Montgo cry
Cont ederacy in less than 80 days, when this city
being included in foreign country, would re.
quire . permaneot garrison OF at least 85,otO
troops to protect the Uovernnent within IT.
"a. Colec. tho duties on f5reign goods outside
the ports Of which this Government has lost the
comma nd. or clo,e such Ports by act OF Congrcss
and blockade them
Sd. Conquer he seeded States by invading ar
mics. No doubt this might be done in two or
three years by young and able Generai-s
Wo fe, . Dessaux, or = Koche. With $40, 900 dis
cpined men. estimating q third for gsr,isons and
. loss OF . yet greater number by skirmshes,
sieaes, battles and Southern ievers, he destsuc-
tlod Of life and property the other side would
be fri ghtfu, however perfect the model discipline
Of ths invaders. The coaquess completed at that
en- ,rmous waste OF human life TO th. North and
| North west, with at leas: $3.50 000,0 00J added
thereto, and fifteen devastated provinces, not to
I be brought into harmony with their conQuer0rs
but 70 be held Tor generations BY heavy garr,sons
at IA expense qusdruple the net duties or tsxei
which it would b possible to exs,rt from them
followed by p otector or an Emperor.
Ath. Say to the seeded States, '.wayward sir
| tors, depart in peace"
In haste, remain yours,
WINFIELD SCOTT.
