Russian Court, as a diplomatic agent of the conspirators), submitted to the people of Mississippi, before the close of November, 1860, a plan for a Southern Confederacy. After reciting the ordinance by which Mississippi was created a State of the Union, and proposing her formal withdrawal Lucius Q. C. Lamar. therefrom, the plan proposed that the State of Mississippi should consent to form a Federal Union with all the Slave-labor States, the Territory of New Mexico, and the Indian Territory west of Arkansas, under the name and style of the United States of America, and according to the tenor and effect of the Constitution of the United States, with slight exceptions. It proposed to continue in force all laws and treaties of the United States, so far as they applied to Mississippi, until the new Confederation should be organized, and that all regulations, contracts, and engagements made by the old Government should remain in force. It provided that

Major Anderson was ignorant of her character and object, and of the salutary official changes at Washington, or he would have instantly resented the insult to the old flag. Had he known that the Executive and the new members of his Cabinet approved his course, and were trying to aid him — had he known that, only two days before, January 7, 1861. a resolution of such approval had passed the National House of Representatives by a large majority The resolution, offered by Mr. Adrain of New Jersey, was as follows:--Resolved, That we fully approve of the bold and patriotic act of Major Anderson in withdrawing from Fort Moultrie to Fort Sumter, and of the determination of the President to maintain that fearless officer in his present position; and that we will support the President in all constitutional measures to enforce the laws and preserve the Union. This resolution was adopted by a vote of one hundred and twenty-four against fifty-six. For the yeas and nays, see Congressional

Free trade was to be the basis of union. These agents, it asserted, were in all of the Northwestern States, and their aim was to spring the issue soon among the citizens of those States. --McPherson's Political History of the Great Rebellion, page 42.

The President elect assured him that he should endeavor to do his duty. On the following day, February 21, 1861. he passed on through New Jersey to Philadelphia, declaring at Trenton, on the way, to the assembled legislators of that State, that he was exceedingly anxious that the Union, the Constitution, and the liberties of the people should be perpetuated.
