Reply to Ex-Secretary Weiles' Attack on Dir.
Seward.
Major General Meigs in published communica-
ton vindicates Mr.. Seward from exSecretary
Welles, in a Ga,ary article, saying, among other
things
The truth 49, probably, that tho real object and
hopes OF the President In both expeditions at
and saved to tho United States the control OF the
entrance to the finest Southern port and
naval station, ana saved the cost OF q
large blockading squadron for years. The
Sumter expedition, OF which the President and the
Cabinet had been advised by the highest military
be impracticabe, demonstrated and published to
the world the resolve Of the President to do all In
his power TO retain Fort Sumter. The correctness
Of the opinion OF the Presidents advisers was shown
by the result. l think | have proved chat per-
Iectly loyal and patriotic motive and action on
the part OF MIR. Seward Is consistent with all
the documents cited by Mr.. Wees. The letter OF
| Judge Campbell was published when written.
Mr.. Seward did not think necessary TO reply 10 the
accusations OF having as Secretary OF STATE disap
pointed the fond hopes OF his present accuser which
| now compel notice OF his extraordinary article
! long as the assassnssspared him. He sat ut thu
Council Board with the author OF the Goiary articl
Tor nearly four years after Mr.. LincOln's murder
and now, absent at the Anripodes he can rely upo
his cOunfrymen TO cherish In their hearts reputa
! uon OF his great services.
