Abraham Lincoln. I owe it to myself, I owe it to truth, I owe it to the subject, to state that no earth ly power could induce me to vote for a spe cine measure for the introduction of slavery where it had not before existed, either south or north of that line. Coming as I do from a slave State, it is my solemn, deliberate, and well-matured determination that no power no earthly power shall compel me to vote for the positive introduction of Slavery either south or north of that line. Sir, while you reproach, and justly, too, our British ancestors for the introduction of this institution uion the continent of America, I am, for one, unwilling that the posterity of the present inhabitants of Lalromia and New Mexico shall reproach us for doing just what we reproach Great Britain for dome to us. If the citizens of those Territo ries choose to establish slavery, I i.n for ad mitting them with such provisions in their Constitutions ; but, it will bo their own work, and not ours, and their posterity will have to reproach them, and not us, for forming Constitutions allowing the institution of Slavery to exist amone tbcrn. llenry Clay. ar-nd the excellent practical sermon on Crat paga. from tba Ut: "DO GOOD." $W Several editorial articles prepared for this number are crowded out We shall pay our respects to our Jefferson ian neigh bor next week, who appears to be in the! condition that Douglas so well describes: j "Pretending to be in favor ot the Union ; tnr tun Mimnpfl iii uesiroviiiir u. -vih'U' i sed to coercion." and sweiTring that "the Union MUST be preserved!" g&rTbe St. Charles Hotel, on the corner of Third-st. and Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington City, is a pleasant house for those who visit the Federal Capital, and is not far from the depot.

The Pittsburgh Gazette says that in all modern history a more toucbingly sublime incident is not to be found than the parting of Abraham Lincoln from his neighbors on last Monday evening. The chosen chief of a mighty nation, and that nation convulsed with revolution and treason clouds, durknrn and storm restinc unoti it he takes his

way modestly and unostentatiously to the i Washington the moment he read Mr. Lincar that is to bear him at once to the seat of - coin's speech made at Indianapolis. The

, fcioWt earthlv honor and the mostap ! palling responsibilities. His friends and j neighbors in hundreds and thousands cluster j around him to take him once more by the! hand, and hear once more that eloquent; if- ..to. KU .nd on the rdatiorm voice. of the car. His words are few and very simple simple yet grandly eloquent. It is tho outgushing of a coble nature, of a true heart. Tho man, the father, the patriot, the Christian speaks. His own manly frame and well trained voice are tremulous with emotion, while his audience weep. ! . i He sneaks of his long residence among them of what he owes to them. of;his cuil-j IUOUJ, v , f jp.rted He alludes in dren, nd of one aepanea. ne anuues 1 touching to his own sadness and to! th trials that await him. Then he rises, bieher and expresses his trust iu that Om-1 uipotence in which he trusts; and then he ,M their rjravers in his behalf: ! humbly asss lueir prayers iu ma ico hope you, my friends, will all pray that lj may receive that divine assistance without) which I cannot succeed, but wi i? mliift' success is certain. Again I bid you an atfectionate farewell." And in the fulness of their hearts the multitude responded, We will pray for you." This is on of those little gems that will go -down iu undimiued brightness through all history ; and who can doubt that as tbe telegraph flashed his words throughout the great empire, that millions of hearts responded to his appeal. This little parting speech will'do more to win the confidence and esteem of the Amer ican peopl for their newly elected chief magistrate, and thus strengthen his admin istration than any thing that has yet trans pired ; and will give them assurance that they have been guided by a higher wisdom than their own in their choice of a man. How admirably adapted is this incident, in its toucbingly beautiful simplicity and sincerity, in its blended grandeur and hu mility, to allay the passions of the nation, and restrain the arm uplifted to shed the blood of brethren I Lincoln spoke only to his neighbors, in childlike simplicity, little dreaming of the mighty influence of his own cation and upon the world. B0Tbe letter in wbich John C. Calhoun announced to the Legislature of South Carolina his purpose to resign his seat in the United States Senate, dated JNovemoer xo, 184S, closes as follows : That the State ttay long retain her high standing in the Union, and that the Union ' itself, with our free, and, happy and glorious institutions, maybe transmitted to the latest generation, shall t my last breath ever be my ardent praye."

I In consequence of the apprehensions of a mob at Baltimore, on the part of some of Mr. Lincoln's friends at Washington, a special messenger was sent to urge Mr. L. to hasten secretly to the Capitol. He reluctantly consented went from Philadelphia to Harribburg, and there took a special train and went thro' Baltimore to Washington early Saturday morning. The Baltimore American hiirhlv annrovps af Mr. T.inrln' o j i r course.a d says 'twas "a simrle and praciical; avoidance ot what might Lave oeen an oc casion of disorder and of mortification to all interested in the preservation of the good name of our city." Mr. Van Wjtke, memb. r of Conf m i gress irum ursnge co., ;. xork, was assaulted on the night of the 21st. returning to his home from the rooms of Hon. Preston tt: . ifi . - . ... on Poi ii.ii. about II o dock, by three assassins. He shot one, knocked down another, and was then knocked down himself and stunned; whilst in that condition, his assailants made off with their wounded compauion. Van Wycke. received a stab in his breast, which penetrated thro' a heavy over-coat, under coat, a tripple fo'ded copy of the Globe, and nearly thro a pocket memorandum book. CWe commend to the serious consideration of our neighbor of the Jeffersonian, who appears so eager for a compromi.e on any terms, to the plan proposed by Ethan Spike and published on the first page of today's Palladium. We think it will meet with the hearty approval of all such spirits.

fi3Our old friend, the Doctor, of the Broad Axe, thinks we committed a " 6lur" on himself and paper, in alluding to the announcement he made of the close race between Evarts and Greeltv. for U. S. Senator

Dear Pal: On Friday Evening last, llolteit Dale Owen delivered a lecture in the Hall of ihe j House ot Representatives, on the present ' , rsiri It was moderate and milii in tone. but was for compromise and conciliation. He said that wi m so large a body d "ien were pamiea loetiier iu tne n.iuw.ern Slates to oppose the Government, it oeasd to be treason, ami lH:aiKe Revolution. No we have livjd utdr the present Constitution for 70 odd years and lhef-e complaints were never uttered, but now comes the defeated party at the South and ak na amend mnt to tlie Constitution a pretty fair ad mission that our interpretation ot that in i'u"" strument is correct. It John Utov. i) was a traitor ,nd ,uffer.d a just doom wh:U are ihey but traitors, who, have been and are i robbing the mails and forcibly seizing the jovernment ptoperty in the cotton otaies: It would be as much a crime for a thousmd men to engage in stealing as one or ac knowledge that "might makes right" out of wrong. The Democracy have great a deal to say about "re-construction," and would be very much pleased to see the North forced into some compromise or concession that would get the secediug States back, and then they would have it understood that the "glorious oil Democratic party" did it all, thus hoping to get back their democratic vottfe, and ret-asn their lost power. But iu this -they are mistaken, as they can never get any new guarantees to slavery nor any more strength for democracy iii the North. They as a party are defunct. In the House, on Friday last, Mr. Fisher of Wabash, introduced a resolution looking to the expulsion Messrs. Heffieii aud Moody they will probably be expelled. Feb 27. The Legislature is drawing to a close tli3 session expiring on the 12th of March. by iiniltautmand still almost every bill ol ( importance is not yet matured. The school law, apportionment bills, and Militia law are in a siaie 01 progress,, nuu u u u.gCu with vigor from this tiire until they are passed. Owing to the mal administration of the .Democratic party, the Treasury is bankrupt, and the Stale was compelled to borrow S75.0O0 from the Sinking Fund, to meet the expenses of the htaie Government.

A few days since the members of the ' Legislature visited the Insane Asylum, by ! invitation, and while they were being shown through one f the lower wards. i where the most violent persons are confined, a good looking woman seized npon liobert Dftle Owen, kissed, hogged and caressed him in the most violent manner, much against the wish of that gentleman. .This was the signal of general confusion and tbe other craty ladies following the example of their leader, "went in" on the poor members, who scattered ia hot haste. It was the subject of many jokes during the week. AH the State officers elected last fall are now domiciled in their new quarters. J. S. Harvey, Treasurer of State, is a Wayne County boy, a son of Robert Harvey, who lived on the farm now owned by David Commons, near Centerville. 1 The Republicans here are generally opposed to compromise, and Democratic eon- j ventions under tbe guise of "Union.

Gov. Letcher ot Kentucky, who sympathized with the nulhfiers iu 1632, called upon General Jackson to learu if possible, what the General intended to do toward crushing Calhoun's conspiracy against ihe Union. The Governor opened tho subject mildly, and Jackson only answered by telling LetcLer to read a ceitain instrument ol writing on the table before them. Letcher read it, and found it to be a warrant for the execution of John C. Calhoun. " But, my dear General, you don't intend to carry out what this paper calls for?" "Governor Letcher, is niy name signed to that paper?" "Yes, General, it is." "Vety well, Governor; it is very seldom that 1 sign papers merely for effect. Governor, look on tbe left corner of the paper; is the seal of the United States to it?'' "It is, General." Governor Letcher visited Mr. Culhouu after he left General Jackson, aud awakening him out of his sleep, related to him his interview with Jackson. Governor Leu-her alleged that Mr. Calhoun assumed lhe appearance of a ghost, wheu lie heard what General Jackson intended to do, and nullification lost 11 its venom from th.-.t hour. General Jacks.

The Departments are to be closed, and there will be a large military diplay ot all regular and volunteer forces. Fiags will fly Irom the Capitol aud all prominent points in the city. Hon. Hrnry S. Lane of Indiana was presented ou the floor of lhe House and Senate to-day. He will take his seat iu tbe Senate, on the fourth ot March, al the co i,uiciicemut ot the extra session. Humphrey Marshall Las couclu led his argumtut in the case ol Governor MagosKn v s. Governor Deunison, and the case is ihorelore submitted. Several gentlemen who ariived from ; Richmond, report thai quite au excitement exists iu that city in relation to the Stanton Militia Lull. They assert that the State will seotsda if the bill is passed. The Secessionists are auxious that the bill should pass, as U.ey deem it calculated lo further their schemes. Tbe French Emperor has demanded an explanation ol the French Legation here as to the connivence of the French Minister with Slidell aud others, in the secession movement. Mr. Mercier, the Minister is knowu to be a Revolutionist. Tbe Senate and House presented unusual attractions to-day to the crowded galleries. Iu language, there was both Secession and coereiou. in the Senate the postal bill to discontinue the set vice where interfered with, was up, and a l erce war ra;ide on it by Huuter aud Green, and ended by Douglas and Fessendcn. The latter contended thai the bill ouly authorized ihe Postmaster General to discontinue the service wherever iulerlcied with, ia any section, and that il did not apply to any of the seceded States in particular. Seuator Fessenden charged the Southern side with attempis, by amendments to this bill, to gt Republicans lo recognize Secession. Ii seems that the Posioitice Depart went have information which practically applies lo this bill. Mails hare been seized in Texas and destroyed, wbil papers and letters are coostautiy being tampered with. Tbe twofold object of this interterence is to destroy le.ters to people not triendiy to Secession, and to otk-r a cause lor the withdrawal of the mail service, thus making the Federal Government, ia one sense, partial! v withdraw actual jurisdiction over assumed Secession. , - la the House, Mr. Stanton's Militia Bill ' came up in the morning hour, a d Mr. Bo- ! cock finished Lis speech, in violent opposi- ! lion to the biiL

A large number of the Democratic leaders are whining because Gov. Morton did not appoint all or at least a minority of Democrats, ns Commissioners to Washington. They had no right to demand or expect anything of the kind. Since the organization of the party no Republican has received any favor whatever at the hands of a Democratic Governor. Shortly after Ihe inauguration of Gov. Wiilard during bis absencf? from Indianapolis a Republican applied far an appointment a -Notary Public and a commission was issued to him by the Governor's private Secretary. Immediately upon Gov. Willard's return lo Indianapolis he sent a letter to him. in sub stance s follows: Liberty Herald . Indianapolis, 1S57. Sir: During my absence my private ' Secretary sent you a commission as Notary Public. That commission I this day withdraw, and this will be your notice thereof. I am determined to appoint no Black ftepvhlican to any position irhoterer not cren the least luring my admtnutr ition. A P. WILLARD.

The ShelbwiDe Banner tells one of

the best stories ol tbe year on a liquor seller of that place, who invited Mr. Carrie F. Bush of the Olive Branch, the temperance paper in this city, who had made snap, poiatment to lecture in that town, to lecture in his saloon for want of a better room, all ethers being occupied. It was done aa a bi of bravado, we presume, or as a good joke on the lady, but she turned the joke agaiasl him mo.l effectually by mrtuall y accepting tke inrttatiom and actually lecturing ia his hquor than. In accepting she imposed only one condition, that he should close his bar during the lecture. I he tianner says the appointment was faithfully kept by the lady, and a large crowd of liquor deal-rs. acd the frequenters of saloon, were in attendance, and heard her through, and with perfect respect. Sbe assailed the traffic with great effect, and in the right place too. It was "earrying the war into Attica," in a novel and decidedly effective way. The man's name is Cross. He deserves credit for his manliness in making the best of his j e ater he got the hot e: I of it in his hand, and giving the lecturer an orderly and quiet bearing. Thb Consphact Aoirssi mi i! . it . , CoNrassKo.-Many of the secession organs auu uieir apologists nave ueniea that there was any attack ever contemplated against Washington. The Augusta Ga., Chronicle and Sentinel, ia its issue of the 18th thus confesses what its more wary allies hare disavowed: The idea of seizing the late Federal Capital has been definitely abandoned, and that being so, tee have na need to mtke tear, unless invaded, or unless an acknowledgment of our independence is refused by the late Union. Ot course we must and will have all the forts, arsenals, Ac., within our dominion, aud these must now be attended ta by the Executive of the Confederate Slates, thus relieving the State authority. Milttaut SpraiT is Sorrrn CAa lina There seems to be pUnty of spirit among the Stat troops at Charleston. A cor re spondent of the Providence Journal, happening to be down on the wharf a few minutes before tbe steamer left for the various fortifications, took an inventory of the reight to be sent. It consisted of the following articles: Two barrels whisky, one hundred hollow shot, two demijohns labelled whisky, one qutrter of bee I, tw jugs labelled whisky, eighty loaves bread, two barrels powder, two other demijohn whisky, with about a dozen bottles, supposed whisky, in iheh.rudsof as many soldiers returning from leave of absence. "This gktious privilege has been abused to such an extent that one company which was sta. tioned at the arsenal has been removed because of the facilities for procuring whisky." , r 5 nSThe Mobile Advertiser says: 'During the past year 135.430 muskets bar been quietly transferred from the Northern arsenal at Springfield, alone, to those in the Southern States. We are much obliged to Secretary Floyd for the foresight he has thus displayed in disarming tbe North and equ.tj,p,ng the South fur this emergency. 1 here is no telling the quantity of arms and munitions which were sent South from other Northern arsenals. There is no doubt but that every man in (he South who can carry a gun can now be supplied from private or public sources. The Springfield contribution alone would arm all tbe militiamen of Alabama and Mississippi." "Governor Floyd is to be tried at Washington for swindling Senator Benjamin, who committed theft tin. on such an extensive scale when he was at college, appears lo be one of the chief witnesses against him. In a case of trial for theft, Benjamin might very appropriately oe a juryman it tbe case were to be tried by a "jury of experts." f Louisvile Journal, NEW GOODS At Strattau's Corner.
