He was es corted to the depot by D Company of the Seventy -fourth RegUMOt, which company also acted as escort on hi reception.

At Bativia the train stopped five minute Some hundreds were assembled to greet Mr. Lln- . who. in answer to their cheers, appeared on r!ie platform, and simply bowed. A lew miles east of Batavia the train was detained a short time by a heated axle in the forird p wv-enuer coach. The train arrived at Rochester at eight o'clock. A crowd, numbering not less than H.OUO, filled the space around the depot. Mr. Lincoln was introduced by Mayor Scranton, and responded to his welcome as follows: "I confess myself, after having seen large audiences since leaviiisr home, overwhelmed with this vast number of faces, at this hour of the morning. I am not vain enough to believe that vou are gathered from any wirb to see me as an uiividual, but because I am, for the time being, the representative of the American people. I uld nut. if I would, address you at any length. 1 have not strength, even if I had time, for a reech at these many interviews that are offered me on my way to Washington. I appear merely to see you, and let you see me, and to bid you ! are ell. I hope it will be understood that it is rom no indisposition to oblige any body that I do :.ot address you at greater length." The presence of a large police force prevented the crowd from pressing on the cars, and perfect n!er was maintained, so that Mr. Lincoln's voice . . u-hed almost the extreme length of the audience. His hoarseness troubles him less to-day ihan at Buffalo. At Clyde an enthusiastic crowd gathered to welcome Mr. Lincoln with a salute and cheers, lie thanked the people for the welcome, but had no speech to make, and no time to make it in; was glad to see them, and bade them good morn At Syracuse the crowd was estimated at ten thousand. A platform was draped in National dors, and had been erected for the occasion, .Vom which Mr. Lincoln was invited to address :ie audience, which be, however, declined to dc. - lying that thev must draw no inferences from IJa refusal to do so. in regard to any other plat- j form with which his name was associated. Uion I he platform was a live eagle. The special train arrived here eighteen minutes ahead of time, and was awaited by thousands who were standing in a snow storm. The citizen corps fired a salute and the crowd cheered. Mr. Lincoln ascended to the platform car drawn upon I .e track, and was introduced by the Mayor. He -poke as follows: Ladies and gentlemen. I have no speech to make to you; I have not sufficient time to make ia if I had. I have appeare 1 here simply to ink you heartily for this noble reception to -ee you and allow you see me. I am not sure, but at least as regards the ladies, I have the best of the bargain in the sight. In conclusion I have only to say farewell. He was met here by the Legislative Committee "nd a few miuutes later the train passed on, Mr. Lincoln bowing a farewell as he left the crowd behind. AiaaxT, Monday, February 18. At Utica the train was delayed longer than anticipated to allow a heated journal to cool. The vast crowds assembled manifested great deraonstrdtions of joy at the sight of Mr. Lincoln. He returned thanks for the kind reception, and excused himself from speaking. A heirty welcome also greeted Mr. Lincoln at Little Falls. As the train stopped the church bells rung merry peals. The shouts of highly excited crowds called Mr. Lincoln to the platform of the car, but although earnestly entreated, he oeclmed to mount a raised platform, ami be welcomed formally. Fonda turned out en matte to elcome the President. At Amsterdam and Schenectady large crowds were assembled. As the train approached the latter place a cannon was recklessly fired point blank t the first coich. the concession bursting in the war, the lock ...a o. c.k.i. to atoms three windows. Several persons near were covered with broken glass, though no one was injured. At twenty minutes past two o'clock guns announced the arrival of the train at Albany. A platform had been erected where the train stopped. When the engine "Erustus Corning" came in sight, handsomely decorated with flags, loud snouts were sent up by the multitude, which num hered several thousands. Some delay occurred in consequence of the military not being on the ground in time, and the crowd vented their impatience in cries of, "Come on the platform;" -Get off the cars;" "Show us the rail-splitter:" "Hop out, Old Abe," and similar requests. At length the Twenty-fifth Regiment, Col. Bryan commander, appeared on the ground, and a pathway was opened to the carriages, and the platform cleared. Mr. Lincoln then appeared. He was met by Mayor Hatcher, who welcomed him as follows: "Mr. Lincoln : "In behalf ) the Common Council and citizens of Albany, I have the honor to tender you a cordial welcome to our citv. We trust vou will ac cept the welcome we offer, not simply as a tribute of respect to the high office you are called to fill, 'nut as a testimony of the good will of our citizens, without distinction of party, and as an expression of their appreciation of your eminent personal worth, and confidence in your patriotism. We are aware of your previous arrangements with the State authorities. The brevity of your stay will compel us to forgo the pleasure of extending to vou, on the part of the city, other and more befitting hospitalities; but we are happy to know that his Excellency the Governor, and the Senate t and Representatives in the Legislature, are about to receive you as the guest of die Empire State, and so doing they will represent the kind regards of the whole people, as well as the citizens of the Capital. Permit me, therefore, to greet you, in the name of the citizens, and repeat the assurance of our most cordial welcome." Mr Lincoln, who appeared pale anil worn, replied in a low but steady voice, as follows: Mr. Naylor I can hardly appropriate to myelf the flattering terms in which you communicate the tender of this reception as personal to nyself. I most gratefully accept the hospitality ten ere I to me, and will not detain vou or the au .ience with any extended remarks at this time. I resume that in the courses through which shall hare to go, I shall have to repeat some nhat, and I will only repeat to you my thanks for this kind reception. At the close of his brief remarks, the party proceeded in carriage to the Capitol. The whole . u'e was densely crowded on each side of the route many residences displayed flags in profusion, and across Broadway was hung a strip of canvass, bearing the inscription, "Welcome to the Capital of the Empire State no more com promise." From the window of the Y. M. C. A. was dis played a banner with the words "We will pray for you, the defender of the Constitution as it is." .Hong the line of procession the greetings of the citizens were most cordial, and ladies smiled salutations with pleasing liberality. In the Capitol park an immense concourse of people was gathered. The task of the military and police was anything but easy. At length the Capitol was reached, when Mr. Lincoln was conducted at once to the Executive chamber where he was introduced to Gov. Morgan. The State officers and staff only were present. After welcoming t' e President elect, Gov. Morgan proceeded with him to the head of the steps of the Capitol, where he was greeted with a perfect roar of applause, the people rushing forward to obtain a sight of his countenance . and for a time defying the efforts of the soldiers and police to keep the line. Mr. Lincoln gazed around at the crowd which filled the park, and lined, all the trees within sight with apparent amusement, at it.- vastne-s, and turning to the Governor said: Do you think one can make these people hear us? Governor Morgan replied, by a dubious shake of the head, and made one or two ineffectual efforts by waving his hat to stilt the multitude, bat the hoarse roar of the people and the shouts of the police made a dire and confusion that rendered speeches a dumb show, except to those in immediate vicinity of the speaker. Gov. Morgan welcomed Mr. Lincoln as follows: sir, chosen as you have been, to the ponsible office of the nation, or of the globe, and journeying as you are to the Federal Capital to enter upon your public duties, you hare kindly turned aside upon invitation of the Legislature for the purpose of a brief sojourn at the Capital of New York. On liehalf of the people irrespective of political opinions, it is my privilege to greet you and extend a cordial welcome. If you have found your fellow citizens elsewhere, you have not found, and I think you will not find, wanner hearts or a people more faithful to the Union, the Constitution and the laws, than you will meet in this time-honored city and Capital. The people than't you for the opportunity you have thus offered Jiem, of manifesting to you their great respect, no less tor yourself personally than tor the high office vou are destined so soon to fill. Loud cheers followed Mr. Morgan's address when Mr. Lincoln replied as follows: Mr. Governor I was pleased to receive an in-

vitauon to visit the Cap State of this nation on Capital, and I now e and the people of the

if the great Empire I vay to the Federal von, Mr. Governor, State of New York, fortius mot he irtv and niaL'iutu-eiit welcome. i. If 1 am not at fault, the great Empire State at this time contains a greater population than did the United States of America at the time she achieved her national independence. I am proud to be invited to pasa through your capital and meet them, as I now have the honor to do. I ant notified by your Governor that this reception is given without distinction of party. I accept it the more gladly because it is so. Almost all men in this country, and in any country where freedom interest of the whole country . anil w hen an election is passed it is altogether bsfitting a free people that until the next election they shall be as one people. The reception you have given me this daj given to me personally it should not le so. but as the representative for the time being of the majority of the nation. If the election had resulted m the choice of either of the other candidates the same cordiality should have been extended to in as has been extended to me this day, in te.-tim.tiy of the devotion of the whole people to the Constitution and to the whole Union, and of their desire to perpetuate our institutions and to hand them down in the'.r perfection to succeeding generations. I have neither the voice nor thestrengrh to address vou at any greater length. I beg you will accept my most grateful thanks for this devotion not to me, but to our great, glorious and free country. The address was accompanied and followed byloud applause. Mr. Lincoln was then conducted to the Asseia bly chamber. The Speaker's desk was occupied by Senator Colvin. who was selected by the Sen- j ate to receive the President elect, and by Speaker Liltlejohn, who stood on his left. When Mr. Lincoln entered the chamber, the whole as.-em blage rose and greeted him with loud clapping of h inds. Senator Terry, advancing in front ot the Speaker's desk, said: "1 have the honor to introduce to the Senate and Assembly of New York, in joint convention ; assembled, the Hon. Abraham Lincoln, ot Illinois, Presidentelect of the United States." The Speaker of the Assembly, de-tending from the desk, greeted Mr. Lincoln, and, leading him to the desk, introduced him to Senator Colvin. After shaking hands, Mr Colvin descended from the desk, leaving Mr. Lincoln alone there, and addressed him from the Clerk's de.-k as follows: Mr. Lincoln In beh.Ut of the Representive the sovereign jveople of New York, wc welcome you to the Capital and to the Representatives Hall of the State, we welcome you us President ot thirty million of people, w e welcome ! you as the President elect aceerdinc to the forms of the (Juhtin:tion of the United States: and when, sir, you have assumed, as yon soon will assume, the office of President of the Unite I States, vou may m discharge of vour eoiistttti tional duties rely upon the support of the people ot this great State, breat applause J I have the pleasure, sir, to introduce you to the Legislature in Joint Convention assembled to welcome the President e'ect of the United Suites. Mr. Lincoln re-ponded as follows: Mr. President and gentlemen of the Legislature of NewYork: It is with feeling of great diffidence, and I ! may say, with feelings of awe. perhaps, greater j than I have reoently experienced, that 1 meet you here iu this place. The history of the great State, the renown of those great men who have stood here, and .-poken here, and been heard here all now crowd around my fancy and incliue me to shrink from any attempt to address you. But I have some confidence given me by the generous manner in which you hive invited me, and bv the still more generous manner iu which vou have received me, to speak; further you have invited, and received me without distinction of party. I can not for a mcment suppose that this has been done in any considerable degree with refer ence to my jiersonal services, but that it is done, in so far as I am regarded at this time, as the rep resentative of the majority of thisgreit nation. I doubt not this is the truth, and the whole truth of the case; and this is as it shonld be. It is much more gratifying to me that this reception has been given to me as the representative of a free people than it could possibly be it tendered mo as an evidence of devotion to me, or to any one man per sonally. And now I think it were more fitting that I should close those hasty remarks. It is true, while I hold mvself. without mock modesty, the hnmhle-t of all individuals that have ever been elevated lo the Presidency, that I have a more difficult task to jrform than any one of them. You have generously tendered me the united support of the great Km;ire State. For this, in behalf of the nation, in behalf of the present and the future of nation, in behalf of civil and religious lilsertv for all time to come, ni gratefully do I thank you I do not propose to enter into an explanation of any particular line of policy, as to our present difficulties, to be adopted by the incoming Administration. I deem it just to you, and myself, and to all, that I should see everything, that 1 should hear everything, and that I should see every light that can be brought within my reach, in order that, when I do so speak, I shall have enjoyed opportunity to take correct and trne ground; and. for this reason, I do not propose to speak at this time of the nolicy of the (ioveinment. But when the tim .ome 1 shall speak as well as I am able for - good of the present and the future of this cou-.irv for the good of both the North and the South of this country, and of all sections of the country. Applause In the meantime, if ne have putieuce if we restrain ourselves if we allow ourselves not to run off in a passion I still hae confidence that the A!mibtv Maker of the Universe ill. u-ough the instrumentality of this great and in U:'ent neoole. bnng us through this as he has through all the other difficulties of our couutry. Reiving on this, 1 again thank you for this yen erous reception. Applause and cheering. Mr. Lincoln was then introduced to the members of the Legislature, who. w ith the comniitt" conducted him through the double ranks of the Twenty-fifth Regiment, which "presented arms" as he passed to his carriage. Ni: Yoiix. Tue1!-, February 19. The train reached this city on time, at thre-e o'clock P. M. At the depot the President elect and party left the cars. Mrs. Lincoln and children were driven, in a close carriage, to the Astor House. Mr. Lincoln and suite occupied eleven carriages, and rode to the Astor House. Along the route the streets were packed, but the party had no difficulty in making their progres. owing to the excellent police arrangements, and it is estimated that a quarter ot a million people wrtnesseJ the future President. There was continuous cheering from the depot to the Hotel. At the Astor House there was an immense a-em blage. and cheering. The streets were all decorated wiUi flag-. AH the hotels but the New York Hotel, and all the newspaper offices but the Day Bwk, displayed the American flag. The shipping in the harbor also hoisted, bunting duringthe da ; and the city generally displayed a holiday appearance. Mr. Lincoln dined in private, rc. eiving no calls till eveuing. Sew Time, Wednesday, February Jo. The President elect was formally received by Mayor Wood, this morning at the City Hall. The ceremonies took place in the Governor's room, at eleven o'clock. As earlv s ten o'clock the police took their stand at the City Hall, and a space was en closed by chains leading to the stairs, within which none but those having the privilege of en tering the Governor's room were admitted. At half-past ten a large crowd of persons had assembled in the Park awaiting the arrival of the President elect. A few minutes before eleven Mayor Wood, accompanied by mem!ers of the Coinmou Council of the city and members of the pres , took up their position in tlie Governor's room; and, shortly after, the shouts of the people out side announced that Mr. Lincoln had reached the City Hall. He soon appeared, accompanied by the committee of the Common Council uppointed to meet him at Albany, and was introduce! to the Chairman, Alderman Cornell, and Mayor Wood. The Mayor stood on one side of a table that eeeupies the upper end of the room, and Mr. Lincoln took up a position immediately opposite to him on the other side of the table. The appearance of the two men was most striking. Mayor Wood, in a clear, distinct vcice, spoke as follows : "Jfr. Lincoln : "As the Mayor of New York, it becomes my duty to extend to you an official welcome in ! half of the Corporation. In doing so. permit me to say that the city has never ottered hospitality to a man clothe! with more exaltel powers, or resting under graver responsibility, than these which circumstances have devolved upon you coming into office with a dismembered Government to reconstruct, and a discontented and iios tile people to reconcile, it will require a high patriotism, and an elevated comprehension of the whole country and its varied interests, opinions and prejudices, to so conduct public affairs is to bring it back again to its former harmonious condition. New York is deeply interested. The present political division has sorely afflicted her iieople. All her material interests are paralyzed. I er commercial greatness is endangered. She is the child of the American Union; she has grown up under its matenial care, and been fostered by its paternal bounty ; and we fear that, if the Union dies, the oresent supremacy of New York may die with it. To you, therefore, chosen under the forms of the Constitution as the head of the Confederacy, we look for a restoration of friendly relations between the States only to be accom plished by peaceful and conciliatory means, aided by the wisdom of Almighty (Jod." When Mayor Wood ceased spe Ami.:, a murmur of half suppressed applause passed around the room, and Mr. Lincoln readily, with a firm, slow utterance, responded as follows : 'Jlr. .) "It is with feelings of deep gratitude that I make my acknowledgment for the reception

which has been extended to dm in the great commercial city of New York. 1 can not but rc-

member that such a reception is tenilerel bv a p tK.it uticli .i roor i. ,t, tnikilarnl Kv a . - i . a - i

people who do not, by a majority, agree with me j Mr. Lincoln replied as follow in political sentiment. It is more grateful on this ' Mr. Speaker and gentlemen I have just enaccount because it is an evidence that, in sup ! joyed the honor of a reception by the other branch port of the great principles that underlie our Gov- j of this Legislature. 1 return to you and them my j ernment, the people are nearly or (juite unanimous thanks for the reception which thr people of New in regard to the difficulties which encompass us at Jersey have given me through their chosen rep- ! this time, and of which your Honor has thought resentatives. As for the time being the rcpre fit to speak so tiecomingly and so justly. I can sentative of the majority of the people of the only say that 1 agree with the sentiments ex j United States, 1 appropriate to myself very little preesel bv the Mayor. In my devotion to the of the demonstrations of respect with which I

L mon 1 hope 1 am not behind anv man w ithin the Union; but, in the wixlom necessary to mi conduct affairs as to secure the preservation of the Union, I feirthat 1 may le deficient, and that, too great confidence may have been reposed in me. I am sure, however, that I at least bring a heart devoted to the Union. There is nothing which could e er bring me to consent willingly to the destruction of that Union, under which not alone the groat commerci 1 city of New York, but the whole country, has acquired greatness, unless it should be loss of that for which the Union itself was made. As I understand, the ship is made for the carriage and preservation of the cargo; and, so long as the ship can be saved with the cargo, it should never be abandoned. We should never cease in our efforts to save it, so long as it can be done without throwing overboard the passetigers and cargo. So long as the property and liberty of the people can be preserve! in tiie Union, it will be mv purpose, and shall be mv effort, at all times, to preserve that Union. And. Mr. Mayor, again thanking vou for the reception that has been given me, allow ! me to close mv remarks." The utmost order and silence were preserved during the delivery of Mr. Lincoln's reply. At the close the members of the Common Council, and of the State Government, were introduced to the President elect, and the police regulations below were relaxed. The restraining chains were removed, und the people allowed to invade the City Hall, with a rush to tight and scramble their way to the iloor of the Governor's room. Two or three police were then stationed at the door of the Governor's room, whose dim soon became extreme! v arduous the crowd bear ear 1 ing them forward into the room, and the noise and confusion outside being beyond description. The scene inside of the door of the Governor's room was ludicrous. In the entrance Superintendent Kennedy exerted himself to the utmost tobeat back the crowd, who were admitted at the door at the head of the main stairs, and found egress through the auti chamber at the other end of the room. Men were pulled in by main force out of the crowd by the police, utterly unable to help themselves with coats torn, and hats de molished and lost. In the he it of the excitement a female made her appearance, and was dragged through the doorway, with hoops and lionnet materially damage!. When introducel to Mr. Lin co'.n, she told him she was from Illinois, and, though she had experience! a rough voyage, she wouid go through a tighter squeeze to see him. The crowd was a motley one rags and broadcloth being indiscriminately mixed. A one o'clock the audience closed, and Mr. Lincoln returned to his apartments at the Astor House. Before leaving the City Hall, Mr. Lincoln ap pea red on the balcony, in response to calls, and said: 'Vif: "I do not appear for the purpose of making a speech. I design making no speech. I came merely to sec you, and allow you to see me; and I have to say to yo'i, as I have said fre i:ently to audiences on my journey, that in the light 1 have the best bargain.' Assuming that you are all for the LTnion and Constitution cheers and the perpetual liberties of the people, 1 bid vou farewell." On his return to the Astor House, he had an i interview with H. Fish, Col. Fremont, and about one hundred .fliers. Mr. Lincoln visited Barnum's museum this afternoon, ami to night attendel the opera. He hasdeclinel an invitation to visit Brooklyn. Mr. Lincoln and party will leave at half-past eight o'clock to-morrow morning, stopping at Jersey City, Newaik and Trenton, en route for Philadelphia. Siw Trit, Thursday, February 21. Vice President Hamlin and lady arrived at 6 o'clock last night, comparatively few persons being on hand to receive him, he entered the Astor House with difficulty, and was conductel to apartments provide! for him. After the arrival of the Vice President, dinner wits given by S. C. Davidson. There were present among the invite! guets W. M. Evart-. Thurlow Weed. Dean Richmond. H. J. Raymond, Simeon Drajier, and a few others. Mr. Lincoln visited the opera, by invitation, while the children were taken to Laura Keene's. Mr. Lincoln only remained till the close of the 2d act then quietly left the theatre, without any demonstration. AIkjiU half past 12 o'clock a fine serenade was given to Lincoln and Hamlin at the AatOf House by bands of Wide Awakes, and other Re publican clubs, Mr. Lincoln did not make his appearance, but Mr. Hamlin being called out made a short speech. Up to a late hour in the evening Mrs. Lincoln, and Mr. and Mrs. Hamlin receivel their friends. Nkwakr. X. J., Thursday, February 21. Mr. Lincoln and suite arrivel at the Morris and Essex depot in this city at 9l o'clock and was receivel by a committee of the Common Council, lieuled by the Mayor, and' a deputation of Re publicans on horse back. On eutering the depot Mayor Biglow addressed Mr. Lincoln as follows: Mr. President: In behalf of the Common Council, and my feilow citizens, I most conlialiv welcome you to our city, and tender you the iios pitalities. 1 welcome, sir, in behalf ot the citizens of the metroKlis of this State, in point of population and trade, who have ever been loyal to the Constitution and maintained the integrity of the Union, and who entertain the anient hope that your administration will liegovernel by that wisdom and discretion, which will be the means of transmitting the confederated States as a unit to your succo.-ors, and through them to the latest generation. Mr. Lincoln in a low tone, but with emphapis, rcpliel s'ib-i.iutially as follows: Mr. Mayor: 1 thank you for the reception to your city, and would say in resjionse, my heart is sincerely devoted to the work you desire 1 should do. With my own ability 1 cannot succeed, without the sustenance of Divine Providence and of this great, free, hopeful and intelligent people; without that I cannot hope to succeei, with it 1 cannot fail. .Vgain I return mv thanks. The I'reddent elect and C in mit tee were then i escorted to carriages and driven to the Chestnut street de;iot, a distance of one mile through Broad street, which was throngel with specta tors, while every portion of the surrounding build bags were occupiel. Patriotic manifestation were abundant. The procession first formed in the face of a cold and almost blinding fall of snow, which, however, soon subs le I and was succeeled by a genial sun, and a bland spring-like atmos pfaere, emblematic it is hoped of the luture administration. As the train moved off Mr. Lincoln bowed his ackiiowlelgemcuts to trie crowd from toe rear end of the train. Notwithstanding the maliciou posters silken of ve?teni;y not a single manifestation of disrespect was heard at any time, but plenty of cheers were given to the President. Tbkstos, N. J.. Thursday, Fruary 21. The special train arrivel at twelve o'clock. There was an immense crowd at the depot. Mayor Mills extende! a welcome and introduced Mr. Lincoln to the members of the City Government. The party was then taken in carriages to the State house under an escort of one hundred horsemen of the City Blues of Patterson and the German Rides of Trenton. Having been introducel to the Senate, the President thereof welcoming him, he replied: Mr. President and members of the Senate of the State of New Jersey, I am very grateful to you for the honorable reception of which 1 have been the object. I can not but remember the place that New Jersey holds in our eirly hi-tor . In the early revolutionary struggle few of the State- among the nld thirteen had more of the battle-fields of the country within their limits than New Jersey: I may be pardoned if, upon this occasion, 1 mention that away back in my childhood, the e irliest day of my being nhle to read, 1 got hold of a small book, "Weem's Life of Washington." I remember that in all the accounts there given of the battle field of struggles for the liberties of the couutry, none fixed them selves upon my imagination as the struggle here at Trenton, the crossing of the river, the content with the rlessians, the great hardships endured at inut iimo an nxeo tliem-e. es on my memory more than any revolutionary event. I recollect thinking then, boy even though 1 was. that there must have been something more than common, that tho-e men struggled for. I am exceelingly anxious that that thing which they then struggled for, that something even more than national independence, that something that held on it a great promise to ail people of the world in all time to come; I am exceel ingfy anxious that this Union, Constitution and the liberties of thepeiple shall be perpetuatel in accordance with the original idea for which that struggle was made, and I shall be most happy, indeed, if I tJiall be an humble instrument in the hands of the Almighty , and of this his almost chosen peiplc. a a cho-en instrument w ho iu the hands of the Almighty for perpetuating the object of that great struggle. You give me this reception, as I understand, without distinction of party. I learn that this .IkkJv is eomposel of a majority of gentlemen who, iu the exercise of their best judgment in the choice of a Chief Magistrate, did not think 1 was the man. I understand, nevertheless, that they come forward here to greet me as the constitutional President of the United States, as citizens of the United Suites, to meet the man who. for the time being, is the representative man of the nation, unite! by a purpose to perpetuate the Union and liberties of the peiple. As such I accept this reception, more gratefully than I could do did I believe it was tendered me as an in individual.

The speech was followed by heirty applause. Mr. Lincoln was then conducted to the Assembly,

I understand myself to be receive! here by the representativesof New Jersey, a majority of whom differ in opinion from those with whom I have ucted. This m a ni testation is to be regarded by me as expressing their devotion to the Union, the Constitution and the liberality of the people. You, Mr. Speaker, have well said that this is a time when the gravest and wisest look with doubt und awe upon the a.-iect present el by you. Under these circumstances, you will readiiy see I why I should not speak in detail of the course I shall deem it best to pursue It is proper that I should avail myself of all the information, and all the time at my command, in order that, when the time arrives in which 1 must speak officially, I -h ill be able to take the ground which shall be deemed the best and safest, and from which I shall have no occasion to swerve. I shall endeavor to take the ground I deem most just to the North, the South, the East and the West, and the whole country. Certainly, with no malice toward any section, I shall do all that may be in my power to promote a peaceful settlement ol ail our difficulties. The man does not live who Ls more devotel to cace than I am cheer none who would do more to jtreserve it. But it may be necessary to put the foot down firmly, Here the audience broke into cheers so loud and long that for some minutes it was impossible to hear Mr. Lincoln's voice ami if I do my duty, and do right, vou will sustain me, will vou not? Loud cheers, and cries of "Yes, yes. we will. ' ieceivel as I am bv members of a Legislature, the majority of whom do not agree with me politically, I trust I may have their assistance iu piloting the ship of State through this voyage, surrounile I by perils as it is for if it should suffer from the attack now, there will be no pilot neelel for another voyage. Gentlemen, I have already spoken longer than I intended and 1 must beg leave to stop here. The procession moved to the Trenton House, where Mr. Lincoln spoke briefly to the crowd. The train left at 2 o'clock for Philadelphia iu charge of a committee from that city. It is thought there were 20,mi0 persons present. Philadelphia, Thurs!;-y. Fi'brnsry. 21. Mr. Lincoln arrived at Kingston at 4 o'clock. They were escorted in carriage.- Mr. Lincoln in a barouche, being conspicuous by the gay plumage of w hite horses. Thv orocession consisted of citizens of all de scrip1' ns. They were hailed everywhere with patriotic emblems and m mifestations from about lUU.OOO people along the line of march. Mr. Lincoln, on arriving at the Continental Hotel, was conductel to the balcony and introduced to the Mayor. The noisy multitude greeted his appearance w ith hearty cheering. Both the Mayor's welcome and Mr. Lincoln's reply were unheard excepting by those in the im mediate vicinity. Mr. Lincoln displayel great earnestness in. the delivery of his spce-h, which caused the mn - to reflect Iiis patriotic views in deafening applause. Mr. Lineon said : Mr. Mayor and Fellow Citinens of Philadelphia 1 annear before vou to make no lengthy : eech. i,t to thack von Vor thU rrertioii The reccntion vou have given me to night is not to me the man. the individual, but to the man who temporarily represents, or should represent, the mamajority of the nation. Cheers. J It is true, as your worthy Mayor has said, that there is anxiety among the citizeus of the Unitel States at this time. I deem it a happy circumstance that this dissatisfied portion of our feliow citizens do not point us to anything in which they are being injured, for which reason I have felt all the while justified in concluding that the crisis, the panic, the anxiety of the country at this time is artiti ficial. If there be those who differ with me upon this subjet. they have not pointed out the substantial difficulty that exists. I do not mem to say an artificial prnic may not do considerable harm. That it has done so I do not deny. Tour of tlio President of llie Southern Confederacy. JlovrooMKKy, Sunday, February 17. The trip of Mr. Davis of Mississippi, to Mont -gomery was one continuous ocation. He made twenty five speeches on tl.eroute, returned thanks and complimentary greetings to crowds of ladies and gentlemen, and military at the various depots. A Committee of Congress and Montgomery au thoritie, met Mr. Davis about eighty miles off and formally received him. Two fine military companies from Columbus, Ga., joined the escort at Oxelika, and all reached Montgomery lust night. At 10 o'clock he was receivel w ith great enthusiasm. A large crowd assemble! at the de pot while Mr. Dais addressed as follows: He said he felt proud to receive the congratulations and hospitality of the people of Alabama. He briefly reviewed the present position of the South, he said the time for compromise is passed and we are now determined to maintain our position :-.nd make all who oppose us smell Southern powi.er and feel Southern steel. If coercion was persisted in he had no doubts ns to the result we will maintain our rights at all hazards, we ask nothing, want nothing, will have no eomplii ttions. It other State- want to join our confederation they can freely come on our terms. Our separation from the old Union is complete; no compromise, no reconstruction can now be enter tained. A large crowd waited on Mr. Davison his arrival at the Exchange Hot?l. The ladies were equally enthusiastic as the gentlemen. At a quarter befori eleven, at enthusiastic culls, Mr. Davis appeare I on the balcony ind said: Fellow citizens and Brethren of the Confeder ate States of America, for now we lire brethren, not in name merely but in fact, men of one flesh, one bone, one interest, one purpose and of one identity of domestic institutions We have hence, I trust the prospect of being together in peace with our institutions subject to protection not defamation. It may tie that our career will be ushered in into the midst of storms. It may be that ns this morning opened w ith clouds, mist and rain, we shall have to encounter inconveniencies at the beginning, but as the Min rose it lifted the mist and dispelled the clouds, und left the pure sunlight of heaven; so will the progress of the Southern Confederacy carry us sale into the harbor of constitutional liberty applause and political equality. Applause. Thus we have nothing to fear at home, because at home we have a homogenity. We will have nothing to feat alu-o.nl, because if war should come, if we must again baptize in blood the principles for which our fathers bled in the revolution, we shall show that we are not degenerate sons, but will redeem the plelges they gave, preserve the sacred rights they transmitted to us and show th. t Southern valor still shines as brightly us in lTT'c, and in every other con fiict. Applause. I was informed, my friends, that your kindness only required that I should appear lielbre you fatigued by travel, and hoarse. I am unable to speak at any length. I came merely to assure you of my gratitude for these manifestations of your good will. I come with diffidence and dis trust to the discharge of the great duties devolve! on me by the kindness and confidence of the Congress of the Confederated St ite. I thank you friends for the kind manifestations of favor and approbation you exhibit on this occasion. Inaugural of the President of Uic Southern onfuh riu y. MuNTiiuncuv, Monday, February IS. The inaugural ceremonies to day uerc the grandest pageant ever witnessed in the South. There was au immense crowd on Capital Hill, consisting of military and citizens of other State-. Mr. Davis commence! at ten o'clock. He s i.l: (irntlrrnen nt),4 njn .-, nf th? 0ifrltUl St ltf of Amrru-n: ftni.M's anp Fellow Citizlxs: Called to the difficult and responsible statioti of Chief Executive of the Provisional Government which youhaie institute!, I approach the discharge of the du ties iissignel me nith an humble distrust Ot Us ability, but with n sustaining confidence in the wisdom oT those who are to guiiie and aid nie iu the administration of public affairs, and an abiding faith in the virtue and patriotism of the poo pie; looking forward to the speefv establishment of a permanent government to take the place of this, und which hy its greater moral and political power w ill be better able to combat w ith the many difficulties which arise from the conflicting interests of se; rate nations. 1 enter upon the duties of the office to which I have been chosen, with the hojte that the liegining of our career as a Confederacy may not he obstructed by hostile opposition to our enjovmr-ut of the separate existence, and with the blessings of Providence, which we have asserted, and with the blessing of Providence we intend to maintain our present condition, achieved in a niunmr unprecelenied in the history ot nations. It illustrates the American idea that Governments rest upon the consent of the governed, and that it is the right of the peiple to alter und abolish Governments whenever they liecome destructive to the ends for which they were established. The declare! compact of the Union f rom which we have withdrawn, to establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the general de fein e, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our os terity: and when in the judgment ofthesov ereign States now comprising this confederacy, it lias been perverted from the put pose- for w hich it was ordained, and cease to answer the ends for

w hich it wa- e-tablished, a peaceful appeal to tlie ballot box declare! that so far as thev were con cernel, the Government created by tliat compact should cease to exist. In this they merely asserted the right which the Declaration of Inde

pendence of 1776 detinel to be inalienable. Of! the time and occasion of iu exercises, diey, as j sovereigns were the final judges each for itself. The impartial, enlightened verdict of mankind ; will vindicate the rcjtitude of our conduct, and He who knows the hearts of men, will judge of. sincerity with w hich w e labored to preserve the j Government of our fathers in its spirit. The right solemnly proclaimed at the birth of j the States, and which has been affirmed und reatiiruied in the bills of rights of the States subsequently admitted into the Union of 1789, individually recognized in the people the pow er to to resume the authority delegated for this pur pose of Government, thus the sovereign States liere repre-ented proceedel to form this confederacy, and it is by the abuse of language that their act" has been denominated revolution. They formed a new alliance, but within e ich State its Government has retained the rights of person and property and have not been disturbed. The agent through whom they communicate! with foreign nations is changel, but this does not nominally interrupt their international relations. Sustained bv the consciousness that the transition from the former LTnion to the present Confederacy has not proceeded from a disregard on our part to our just obligations, or any failure to perform every constitutional duty, moved by no interest or passion to invade toe rights of others; anxious to cultivate peace and commerce with all nations, if we may not hope to avoid w ar we may at least expect that posterity will acquit us of having needlessly engaged in it. Doubly justified by the absence of wrong on our pact and by wanton aggression on the part of others, there can be no cause to doubt the courage and patriotism of the people of the Confeder ate St it es. will be found equal to any measures of defence, w hich soon their security may remire. An agricultural people whose chief interest is the export of a commodity required in every manufacturing country, our true policy is e ice and the freest which our necessities will permit. It is alike our interest and that of all those from vhoiu we would levy, that there should be the few e t practical restrictions upon the interchange of commodities. There can be but little rivalry between ours and any manufacturing or navigating community, such as the free States of the American Union. It must therefore follow that mutual interests would with good will bind offices. We have entered upon a career of independence which must I inflexibly pursued through many year.- of controversy: but our late a-sociates iii the Northern States may have vainly endeavored to secure tranquility and obtain respect for the rights to which we were entitled. As n necessity, not a choice, we have resorted to the remedy of a separation, and henceforth our energies must be directe! to the condition of our affairs, and the perpetuity of the Confederacy which we have formed. If a just perception of mutual interests shall permit us jieaceably to pursue our separite politic il career, my most eirne.-t des. re will have been fulfilled. But if this be denied us, and the integrity of our territory and jurisdiction be as sailed, it will but remain for us, with firm re solve, to appeal to arms and invoke the blessings of 1 Yovidenee on our just cause. As a consequence of our new condition, and with a view to meet anticipated w ants it will be ne-ess ary to provide a speedy and efficient or ganizatiön of the branches of the Executive De partmeut, having special charge of foreign inter course, finance, military affairs aud postal service. For purposes of defense the Confederate Suites may under ordinary circumstances rely mainly upim their militia, but it is deemed ad vi- , hie in the present condition of affairs that there should be a well instructed, disciplined army more numerous than would usually be required on a peace establishment. I also suggest that for the protection of cur harbors and commerce on the high se.es. a na adequate to those objects wiil be required. The-e necessities have doubtless engaged the attention of Cougress. With a Constitution differing only from that of our fathers in so far as it is explana tory of their w el I know n inffeut. free from sectional conflicts, which have interfered with the pursuit of the general w elfare, it is not usual to expect that the State from which we have re cently parted may seek to unite their fortunes under tiie Government we have instituted. For this your Constitution makes adequate provisions. Hut beyond this, if I mistake not, the judgment and wiil of the jieople are that uuiou with the States from which we have separate! is neither practicable nor desirable to increase the power, develoje the resources and promote the happiness ol a Confederacy. If requisite there should be so much of homogenity that the welfare of every portion should be the aim of the whole. When this does not exist, antagonisms are engendered which must and should result in separation. Actuated solely by a desire to preserve our own rights and to promote our own welfare the separation of the Confederate States has been marked by no aggression upon others and followed by no domestic convulsions. Our indus trial pursuits have received no check. The cultivation of our fields progresses as heretofore, and even should we be involved in war there would be no considerable diminution in the production of the staples which have constituted our exports in which the commercial world has an interest scarcely less than our own. This common interests of the producer and consumer can only be interrupted by an exterior force which should obstruct its transmission to foreign parties, a course of conduct which would be detrimental to the manufacturing and commercial interests abroad. Should reason guide the action of the Government from w hich w e have separate! a pol icy so detrimental to the civilizel world, the Northern Suites included, could not be declared by e en a stronger desire to inflict injustice upon us, but if it is to be otherwise, a terrible responsibility will rest upon it. and the suffering of million.-, w di bear testimony to the policy and wickedness of our aggressors. In the meantime there w ill remain to us, besides the ordinary remedies before -ugge-tel, the well known re.-ources for retaliation upon the commerce of au enemy. Experience in public stations of a subordinate grade to this which your kindness lias conferred, has taught me that care and trial, and dis.ip pointmeiits are the price of official elevation. Vnii will see many errata to forgive, many deficiencies to tolerate, but you shall not find in me either a want of zeal or fidelity to that cause that is to me the highest in hoje and of most endearing affection. Your generosity bestowed upon me, an undeserved distinction which 1 neither sought nor desire!, upon a continuance of that sentiment, upon your wisdom and jiutriotism I rely to direct und support me in the jribruiance require! at my hands. We have changed the constituted parts but not the system of our Government. The Constitution framed by our fathers is that of these confederated Suites; in their exposition of it, in the judicial construction it has received, we have a light which reveals its true meaning; thus instructed as to the just interpretation of that instrument, ami even remembering that i.fbces are but trusts held by the people, for t ie i!e!e;.ted powers and to be strictly construed, I will hope by due deligence of the performance of my duties, though 1 may disappoint your expe't'ons, yet to retain when retiring something of the good will and confidence which will welcome my entrance into office. It is joyous, in the midst of rilous times, to look around upon a peofle united iu heart; to hear one purjKtse, of high re-olves w hich animates and actu ites the whole, when the sacrifices to be made are not weighed in the balance against honor, right, liberty and equality. Abstracts may ret nd. but they can not long retard a movement sanctioned by its justice and sust.iinel by a virtuoi.s people. Reverently let us invoke the God of our Fathers to guide, provide and protect us in out efforts to perpetuate the principles which through his blessings they were able to vindicate and transmit to their posterity, and beseech a cou tinu.ince of his favor, ever gratefully acknowleijtel, that we may be guided to success, to peace, and to prosperity.

Mr. Doolittle pre-entel a petition : from the citizens of Milwaukee numerously signed, ; asking Congress to stand bv the Constitution and I the laws and make no compromise with traitors. Mr. Powell presented a petition of the citizens of Wisconsin in favor of the Crittenden resolutions. Messrs. Dixon and Bigler presentel numerous petitions for the border State and Crittenden resolutions. Mr. Bragg presented the credentials of Mr. Clingman, re-elected Senator from North Carolina. The Senate resumed the consideration of the bill for the discontinuance of the postal service in se-eding States, which was laid over. Yesterday Mr. Hunter said: If the State- were in the Union we had no right to cut off their poß Uil benefits. The postal laws had not been resisted and we could not undertake under the Constitution to punish States in this way. He said the expressions insurrection and relteilion in tlie bill seemed to be but steps w hich would eud in using force ugaidst the States. Mr. Doolittle said that it was a measure of peace, not of war. He said it w as the duty of the Government to acknowledge, and face the changes of the day. What are the new ideas we have to meet? Tlie first is the idea th.it slavey is a blessing and a proper state of society in our Republic. This idea was not admitted by the men who formed the Constitution, but was the idea of Calhoun. He said it was an evil socially and politically. Mr. Clingman asked when Mr. Calhoun said slavery was a blessing? Mr. Doolittle He said so on the floor of the Senate. He said it was the best and most stable basis of free institutions. This idea now reigns despotic in the Southern States, and threatens to destroy cverv thing, unless it is admitted andre cognized. The first demand was of the Demo cratic party; and because that party would not fully admit it, it was disrupted and destroyed. To day, with arms in their hands, the South demandthat we shall make a new Constitution, and carry shivery into Territories where it never evi-ted. He hoped this would lie peetei, as it was one of the means which would give teacc to the Union. Mr. Hunter said he w is glad to hear that this was not a measure o I coercion, but he thought it was not necessary to p.a.-- it. as the I 'ost master General has a;l tiie power necessary. Mr. Powell spoke against the bili, and said that if it pasel it would give the power of a despot to the heed clerk of the Department and destroy the liberty of the people. Mr. Fessenden said he thought Senators w ere drawing on their imaginations. The bill simply gives power to the Postmaster General to suspend the operations of the laws and relieve him of any attempt to enforce tlie laws. It is most eminently a metsurcof peace. The secret is, tint trentle men want to force us to acknowledge that secession is lawful. It seems to be the simple truth that gentlemen won't let us have a measure of peace without acknow lelging the right of secession. Mr. Hunter opposed the bill as coersivc. Mr. Doolittle said It is a measure of peace, not war. Mr. Douglas considered the bill a peace measure and w as gratified to see it from the other side of the house. After some few remarks in response to those of Mr. Doolittle, Mr. Douglas said he believed there was a deliberate plan to break up the Union on the pretext of devotion, and there were as many dis unionists North as South. Further debate ensued, and Mr. Green proposed an amendment that the Postmaster lien eral also suspend mails where an organization exists for running off slaves? No action was taken on the bill. The miscellaneous appropriation bill was Liken up, after which an Executive session, and the Senate adjourned. HOUSE. Mr. Dawes, from the select Committee of Five, to whom was referred the Pre-i dent's special message of January 8th, made a report as to the stationing of vessels of the navy in such a manner as to neglect the defense of the whole Atlantic coast during the prevalence o4 lawless violence. The iiuinb r of shijis lying in port, dismantled and unfit for service, Ls twent i eight, amounting in the aggregate to eight bun dred and forty-seven guns. None of them could be repaired and put under sail short of several weeks time, and many of them would require for that purpose at least six months. No ordr has yet been issued to put any of them in readiness. The committee discussed other subjects conne-te i with the navy, and propose a resolution that the Secret try of the Navy, in accepting without de lay or inquiry the resignations of officers of the navy who were in arms against the Government w hen tendering the same, and of those who sought to resign, that they might be relievel from the restraints impose! by their commissions upon engaging iu hostility to the constitute! authorities of the nation. He committed a grave error, highly prejudicial to the discipline of the service, und injurious to the honor and efficiency of the Navy, for which he deserves the censure of the House. Mr. Branch submitted a minority report. .Mr. John Cochrane also dissentel from the views of the majority. Mr. Dawes gave notice that he will nsk a vote on the resolution on Monday or Tuesday. The House resumed the consideration of Mr. Stanton - volunteer bill. Mr. Itocock finished his speech, concluding by execrating and denouncing the bill. Mr. Howard replied characterizing Mr. Bo cock's speech as clap-trap," und that his appeals here were mule to influence the Virginia Contention in assisting to break up the Gov ernment. The consideration of the bill was postponed till Monday. The report of the Committee of Thirty-three was taken up. Mr. Barrett condemnel the Republican party, proto-tc i again-! -e es-ion. and thought fh sc ceded Stales should have remained and obtained their rights in the Union. He sa id coercion would drive the bonier S: ,to- to re-i-: if The Senate bill appropriating $a,40O,0O0 for the Oregon and Washington Indian war exjieu-e-was ! onsid cd. The amount was reduced to $:,000.000. After debate, but with no final action, the House udjourued till Saturday. VI awlting-ton Item. WASHusoros, Friday, Krbruiry 21.

On the messe; .er hoisting the w indow to suppress tlie flame, thev were blow n iuto the Secretary's room,corchidfT the paper on the wall. The early discovery of the tire was fortunate, considering the budding is not fire -oof. The Secretatp, who early enters ii,i.m his ..usiness, was present, and the first to give the alarm. Capt. Meigs has returned from Florida, by direction of Secretary Holt, to resume the churge of tlie Washington aqueduct, leaving in charge Of the fortifications at Tortugas Maj. Arnold of the artillery. He repre-euts that they are in a good condition to re-ist any attack from any quar ter. and have by this time been reinforced. In the Peace Conference to day Messrs. DudIcy, Field and Smith, of New i ork, made strong speeche against compromise. An attempt will be made to-morrow to force a vote. The result is doubtful. The Virginia delegation today gave notice that tlie next movement will be tiie convention of Southern States, the adoption of the Constitution of the Unite! State w ith guarantees, and an invitation to all the States to join the Confederacy. Advices from Richmond state that Stanton's force bill had create! great excitement iu tlie convention. The Bell members of Congress have changed their policy, and wiil allow Stanton's bill to peas, and throw the re;onsibility on its friends.
