: Stewards predicament
March u, 1861.
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

- IFTY- ONE years ago today
March u, 1Ss1-the Confederate
commissioner Forsyth. Roman
and Crawford-arrived at Washington
from Montgomery. and wrote to secre-
tary Seward. informing him that they
had come as representatives OF the
confederate authorities, and were
charged with negotiating a peace be-
tween the confederacy and the United
States. Twenty-six days later. April
s. four days before the firing on sum
ter, Mr.. Seward replied to the commits
sioners. refusing to see them or to
enter into any sort Of negotiations
with them
It win be seen at a glance that the
communica ton from the commission
ers mt Seward in what might wei be
called a predicament. The situation
was this. If he entered into negoua-
lions with the commissioners he would
thereby admit that the confederate
states had established an independent
government de facto and de jure, with
all the consequences that would floT
from such fact. II. on the other hanc,
he Ignored the commissioners the re
suit was war. Verify, the secretary
was in an alarming SiX. and II Is not
to be wondered at that the situation
came near prOstrating him.

the seeded states have returned TO
the union. upon the understanding that
slavery was not to be disturbed, or
would if have been possible 10 have
arranged peace upon the basis Of
two countries and two governments
Evidently Seward looked upon the
latter alternative as the only one that
was possible, and against that sort Of
peace he set his face like flint The
secretary knew that the commission
ers were there in Washington, not as
beggars or suppliants but as the
duly accredited representatives Of
what they believed TO be sovereign and
Independent states. and that. while
they were for peace with their late
fellow citizens they were not prepared
to abate one jot or title of their self
respect or TO accept any kind of peace
other than that which was in keeping
with their constitutional rights.
In other words. Seward knew that It
was southern Independence war,
and he chose war Ignoring tn con-
