Majorities Ruling. In Mr. Lincoln's Pittsburg speech, he declared that majorities ought to rule, and if his policy was not liked as President, the majority ought to turn him out. According to his own rule, he ought not to be President at all, for there was a large majority of the people's vote against him. He is a minority President, a fact which ought to give him a faint conception of the idea that minorities in a constitutional republic sometimes have rights. By the way, it is faire majority ought to turn him out. According to his own rule, he ought not to be President at all, for there was a large majority of the people's vote against him. He is a minority President, a fact which ought to give him a faint conception of the idea that minorities in a constitutional republic sometimes have rights. By the way, it is fair to infer from this Pittsburg speech, that the Illinois patriarch contemplates the possibility of his re-election.--What do Seward & Co. say to that?

Refused to honor the President elect. --The Duqueane Greys, a leading military company of Pittsburg, held a meeting on the evening prior to the arrival of Mr. Lincoln at that city, and unanimously refused to take part in the formal reception accorded him.--The Greys, it will be remembered, acted as a guard of honor to the Prince of Wales on his passage through Pittsburg.

Lincoln promises to learn. In Lincoln's Pittsburg speech he says: "I must confess I do not understand the Tariff subject in all its multiform bearings, but I promise you I will give it my closest attention and endeavor to comprehend it fully." Imagine Daniel Webster, Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun, or even an ordinary member of Congress, confessing to their constituents on their way to Washington, that they did not understand the Tariff subject, but would endeavor to comprehend it after they got to Washington! It would be well if Abraham had nothing else to learn besides the Tariff. When he arrives at Washington, he will have to "comprehend" that "coercion" is easier to talk of than practice, and that a man of half sense can never rule in such times as these over a whole country.
