In conversing to-day with a gentleman oftjits city, he took strong ground agaiaat the Southern movement, lie declared that he did not believe that the great West would ever permit the mouths of the Mississippi Hirer to beheld by a foreign power. "South Caro- i lina." said he, 44 wishes to enter into a < conflict with me, and, upon the ehvd- < ding of (he first droo of blood, to drag | the other States into the movement of ] dissolution^" He acknowledged that i the South had suffered great wrongs at the hands of the North, but thought that tbe compncts between tlieui should , not bo broken until reasoning and re- | flection had been exhaua'ed. lie would first appeal to the North for justice, and ( if it should be denied, then, said ll e President, 441 ,aw with them." Notwithstanding -his condemnation of secession, Mr. Buchanan has not yet given the slightest indication of the course ho proposes to adopt when it takes place. But he has pointedly authorised the denial of the statemeut that he favors secession. The Administration still holds in abeyance the resignation of the Federal officials in South Carolina. To-day the resignation of United States Marshal Hamilton, of Charleston, was received and placed upon file. The President to-day dispatched a special messenger, with full instructions for Gen.
