CONTINUATION. But these pacific as
surances were meant to deceive, and quiet
the Southerners. while the Li%ncolnites push
ed forward their secret preparations for war.
Day after day failed to bring the promised
reply; day after day told of troops collect

distant stations arsenals turning out large
and small arms day and night and recruits
e~nlisting in all the Northern cities.
Meanwhile the Confederate Commission
ers, courtly gentlemen of the Old school,
began to perceive that they were being hood
winked. Judge Campbell, too, became re-
stive, Notwithstanding Stewards fair profess
sions. On the lst day of April, while the
latter was arranging the details of a secret
expedition to reinforce Fort Sumpter, the
Judge came to him with a letter IN answer
to one from President Davis, urging the
opening of negotiations for peaceful adjust
ment,) and pressed him to give some ami
cable assurance which might be transmitted
to Mr.. Davis. "Well," said Seward, Il
think you may say that before your hHer
reaches Montgomery the forts eciU hore been
eracuatecl.' This was joyful intelligence
and seemed to be confirmed by press-des-
patches next day sent all over the country
that the government had decided not to re-
inforce Sumpter.
At the end of another week, Judge Camp
bell again addressed Seward in reference to
his pledges. "fnih as to Sampler .tuUy
kept: rat and sec.r" was the crafty reply;
and thenceforward the name of Seward was
significant of duplicity and dishonor for

Upon receipt of The intelligence from
New York, the Southern ambassadors made
a firm, though late, demand for an answer
to their communication of March 18th. 1t
came promptly there was no longer any
thing TO be gained by withholding it. A
curious document it proved to be. Dis
courteously emitting their titles, it declared
the government did not recognise any such
commission, and would not receive any
communication from them, peaceful or
otherwise. As for secession it was merely
a temporary perversion of p~artizan excite
ment to an unJustltable and unconstitution-
al aggression upon the authority of the gov
ernment. That authority the administra-
ton should not fail to assert throughout all
the States, regardless of opposing combina-
tions, &c.
Nor was this all. Upon examination the
document was found to bear date of March
Is, four weeks previous having been writ
ten on the day following the visit of the
commissioners to present their official COM
munication; which, as we have seen, had
been itself withheld for ten days after their
arrival in the city-in order to avoid embar-

Opposed to Fasting in Lent.

The Philadelphia "Record" says a
number of members Of the Reformed
Episcopal Church in that city propose
to discontinue the observance of Lent
as a season of fasting. They urge that
the indulgence in worldly pleasure be-
fore and after Lent is increased by way
of compensation for enforced abstenton
during the season of fasting, while they
also urge that uniform moderation of
life is the Church's great need, and that
this may be better secured without
Lenton observances than with them.
