HISTORICAL.
We published yesterday the testimony
of Oeneral R. R. Lee, before the Recon
struction Committee. The following
facts in regard to a conference between
John B. Baldwin aud President Lin
coln, previous to the outbreak of the
war, were elicited by tbe committee. It
will he seen that we owe nil this war,
and bloodshed, and trouble, through
whicli we have passed, to John B. Bald
win. In regard to this bit of history the
witnesses examined were Jno. F. Lawis,
John Minor Botts, and Jno. 1 i Baldwin,
and the three Johns make a very plain
case: I
-H-TEHim OF MR LEWIS
The Mrststatementon the subject flame
from Mr. John 9. Lewis, an uncompro
mising Union man HII through the war,
and who had been himself a member of
the Virginia Convention. He testided
that on the evening of the Pith April.
1811, he visited John Minor 801 - in
Richmond, and learned from him I hat
Mr. Lincoln had informed him he had
had an Interview with John B. Bald
win—Judge Summers, for whom uspec
ial mehscnger hud been sent, not waving
been able to go to Washington, and th'-
Union members having delegated Bold
will—and In..' mud" a proposition that
if the Virginia Convention would ad
journ sine die, without passing an ordi
nance of secession, he (Mr. Lincoln)
would take the responsibility ol with
drawing the troops from FOTt Sumter.
Col. Baldwin declined to accede lo the
f.roposition, and did not cQiuit.ini.'.iie
t to the convention, Ne* Jporning,
after hearing this statement^lffr. Lewis
prevailed ou Baldwin tn accompany
him to the house of Mr. Botts, who re
peated the statement made to him by
Mr. Lincoln, and asked him "how in
the name of God he could take the re
sponsibility of withholding the knowl
edge of such an Interview from the con
vention 1" to which Baldwin, looking
at his watch, replied ihu! it was theu
near the hour for the meeting of the
convention ; thut he had to be there,
aud that he would see him (Mr. Botts)
again.
STATEMENT OF MB. BALDWIN.
_ __ .
The iiMirMtive of the name trauHactioti j
Riven by Mr. Baldwin is this: After re- ,
luting the circumsUinces of n special r
nit-hseiiger beliiKient to Richmond by „
Mr. Heward, with a roqin-St that Judge ,
Bummers, or some other -fading liiicn (
member, should come to Waahingtuu to j

Ilia (Baldwin's) being H-leftcd and ac- j
couipanylng the meH»eiig*.r to Wa__ j
inn ton the name night; ot hi. being in- ,
troduced the next ni'ininc by Mr. ,
Seward in Mr. Linooln, and uf Mr. Lin- ,
coin.* taking liiu. into n pri-vato bed |
room, that they might he the moro fret- j
from intprrnritii.n ,- .'« H-*"*— - —-.—-.*>.•- ,
of the eon vernation, winch o|>«.ned by
Mr. Lincoln remarking, "Mr. Baldwin, i
I am afraid you have come tot. late." .
"T(K) late for what ?" asked Baldwin. ',
"I tun afraid you have come too late," |
said he; "I wish you could have been j
here three or four days, ago." "Why." |
replied Baldwin, "ullow mo to miy, Mr. |
President, that I do not iinden-tciid
your remark ; you sent h special me_
nengerto Richmond, who arrived there |
yesterday ; I returned with liim l.y the ,
_iorte.il and most e_cpeditious mode of
travel known." "Why do you not ad- ,
jouru the Virginia Convention?"
said Mr. Linc*>Ui. "Adjourn it liow ?
Do you mean sine diet" "Yea, sine ,
die. It is a standing muiiuce to
me, which embarrasses me very much."
"I.am very mueii surprised," _Ud
Baldwin, "to hear you express that
opinion. Tbe Virginia Convention iv .
iv tbe handbof Union men. We have
iv It a clear and controlling mnjority; ,
we are controlling it for conHervat/ve re
aulta; we can do it with perfect certain
ty, If you will uphold our h.ui'l- by a
couaervative policy here. If we were to
adjourn line die, leaving this quotation
unaettled, il would place the Union men
of Virgiult in the altitude of coiiXua-ing
an inability to meet the occasion. Tin
result would be thnl him.lh- r convention
would be called, which would be under
the exclusive control of Hecesniouiat. .
und an ordinance of aeceasiun would b>-
Iloused iv leas ll.no six weeks. Our true
policy is to hold the poaition that we
have, aud for you to uphold our handti
by a conservative, conciliatory, nutimi.il
.•inns.'. The Union meu of Virginia
would not be willing to adjourn that
convention until we cither effect some
settlement of this matter, or arc certain
that v cannot be d"i.i'." Mr. Baldwin
11._. i Went on lo sk'-icn out a plan of ,
policy which he thought the President
ahould pursue, embracing a conciliatory
plaor, iasuiug a call for a groat Nutioual
Convention, and tlie withJruwal of the
force* from Fort Sumter aud Foil
I'iekens. 'I'liis was about the suhalauee
of the Interview. Mr. Lincoln fjiVing io
Mr. Baldwin no pledge, aud uo promise,
and making ii" offer ol any son. Ml.
Baldwin viaited Mr. Soward the eaine
al'lernoon, aud fouud him extremely
earnest lv the desire to settle the mat.
tor, ninl apparently shrinking from the
idea of a clash of arms. Mr. Baldwin
went on lo Richmond, and reported to
tbe gentlemen who had sent him.
Further ou iv bis teatimony, he added -
that he iin.iei-U.od Mr. Lincoln had
given a somewhat different vernion of
the Interview, representing that he had
offered, if the .-on venlion would adjourn
tine die, to withdraw the troops from
Sumter and Picket.!,. "I am aa clear,"
said Mr. Baldwin, "in my recollection
as It is possible to be, thai he made no
suggestion, as I understood it, and said
nothini, from which I could infer It."
STATMI-Nr OI nON JOHN MINOR BOTT9.
Mr. John Minor Bolts gave his ver
sion of tbe interview as it was related to
him by Mr. Lincoln. He says that on
Sunday afieruoon, April 7, 1....1, being
In Washington, he received a note from
Mr. Lincoln, saying that he would be
glad to see him during the evening, aud
that he went tha same evening to tbe
Wbit* House, and remained iv couver
ration with Mr. Lincoln from seven
o'clock until eleven o'clock, during
I which time Mr. Lincoln related I he par
ticulars of tbe visit or Mr. Baldwin sub- I
atantially as follows: "Ah. Mr. Bald- .
win," said Mr. Lincoln, "why did you
uot come here sooner; I have been wail
ing and expecting some of you gentle- I
men of tbe Convention to come to mo
for more than a week past. I bad a moat
important proposition to make to you,
i and I am afraid you have, come too late'

the responsibility of evacuating Forte
Sumter, and take the chance of negotia
ting with the Cotton States, which bave
gone out. "Well, Mr. Lincoln,'' en
quired Mr. Botts, "how did Mr. Baldwin
receive the proposition?" " Hlr," snid
Mr. Lincoln, raising up his hands, "lie
would not listen to it for a moment; lie
hardly treated me with civility, lie
link..' me what I maanihy adjournment.
Did I mean an adjournment sine diet
Why, of course, Mr. Baldwin, paid I, I
meant au adjournment sine die. Ido
not mean to assume such a responsibility
as that of surrendering that fort tn thy
people of Charleston upon your adjourn
ment, and then for you to return in a
week or ten days, and pass your ordi
nance of secession, after 1 bave given up
the fort. .
Mr. Botts, very much incensed, aa lie
says, that Mr. Baldwin should have re
jected the projiu-iiioii, asked Mr. Lin
coln to authorize him to make it to the
Union men of the ..onvenlion, assuring
hm that tliey would udopt it willingly
and cheerfully ; to whicli Mr. Lincoln
replied: "Oh, it is too late ; the fleet has
sailed, and I have no means of commu
nicating with ir." Mr. Bolts (hen asked
permission to mention ihe circumstance
tor Mr. Lincoln's own benefit, but Mr.
Lincoln said, " Well, not just now,
Botts; after awhile you may." Mr.
Bolts' Inference wus that Mr. Lincoln
waa assuming a responsibility which
would at that day have been extremely
distasteful to those who had elevated
him to tbe Presidency, but he thought
it due now to history, and i>> <*•* vitar
■".i-i »i mi. Lincoln, to make It known.
Mr. Holts was here asked tho question
"are you perfectly sure, according to
your best recollection, that Mr. Lincoln
told you that he hud made that proposi
tion lo Mr. Baldwin, to evacuate Tort
Sumter on this .- indition? Answer—"l
know Has well as I know you are stand
ink' before me, and that I am answering
your '|in slion."
Mr. Bolts relates that some weeka af
terwards he returned to Richmond, and
mentioned one evening to Mr. John A.
Lewis, a liniou in.-niU r of tbe Conven
tion, the substance of the conversation
he had with Mr. Lincoln, and that nest
morning Mr. i_ewi* and Mr. Baldwin
drove tn bis house, and hud an Interview
with him, which he narrates as follows:
"Well, Mr. Baldwin," said Mr. Botts,
" is it true tliat Mr. Lincoln did propose
lo yon that if the Convention would
adjourn and go home without passing
11.- ordinunci- of secession, he would
ovu-'iiate Fort Sumter?"
"Yes." said Mr. Baldwin, " lie did"
" My Ood, Mr. Baldwin," said Bolts,
" why did you reject such a propoaltiou
as that?" r
The only answer that Baldwin made
was by taking out his watch and saying,
" Itonly wants twenty minutes of the
hour or the meeting of ihe Convention,
when a most important vote is to be
taken," meaning the vote on the ordi
nance of seivession. "I am obliged tobe
there punctually at tin- hour, and have
not time to make Iho explanation I
desire, but I will avail myself of tbe
earliest opportunity to make a full ex
planation of the whole of \t."
From that day to this, Mr. Bottssavs
li/; never laid his eyes on Mr. Baldwin'
nor heard any explanation from him'
nor had directly any communication
with• liim ; bui ho had been informed
that iMr. Baldwin gets very much excited
wheiu-ver the subject is mentioued iv
his presence.
Further on in his testimony Mr. Botta
was sskod:
Ci'iestio.-i—"irthis whole prrposition
.sad been eo_--iiiiu.ii aud tothe Unionists
or tbe Virginia Convention together
with a call for a National Convention
would that have prevented the breaking
outof civil war?" .Answer—•' I think,
li would, f<ei- th* reason that although
