"Editorial: Mr. Seward and the Union – 4"

This editorial does not use our word "RINO" in reference to Horace Greeley's New York Tribune, but that is the clear implication of the report that Greeley wants to let Southerners "depart in peace", even to the point of demanding Border States secede if they won't abolish slavery!

Naturally, the Times is opposed to that and supposes, if President Lincoln takes the Tribune's advice, he will also want to replace Secretary Seward with Greeley himself.

"Editorial: Fort Sumter – 4-5"

The Times makes clear their view that if war begins at Fort Sumter, Confederates must strike the first blow.
Then Union warships can arrive in a few days to reinforce Maj. Anderson's command.

The Times does not know that Maj. Anderson already informed Lincoln that Anderson's supplies could only last another six weeks, until mid-April at best.

Lincoln is now facing a deadline clock for action.
