Railroad guarded. --President Felton, of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad, has stationed guards at all the bridges on that highway, to prevent any injury to those structures from the hands of the miscreants who have threatened their destruction, to prevent President Lincoln from passing over them. So says the Washington States.

e Premier has at last uttered the sentiment which it has been all along suspected was that cherished in his heart. His oracular language heretofore has been susceptible of two interpretations. Like Janus, he has worn two faces, one of which he has muffed up in his smooth discourses. After he had blundered so far from his adroit policy as to make this declaration in the Senate, upon being interrogated by Mr. Mason, he denied that he meant "Coercion," and immediately gave the lie to his own denial, by saying that he had only "Spoken of force as the last resort, when every other expedient had been exhausted!" So that now the South understands Seward and Lincoln, and the whole tribe of satellites who, thirty years since, had they uttered such abolitionism as they have proclaimed in the last two years, would have been mobbed in any Northern city. These are the men now to talk of coercing and subduing the South!--And they so talk when Virginia is trying to restore the Union!

t there is no cause for the present excitement. Mr.Jefferson said that the abolition cry, in 1820, upon the Missouri question, was like a fire bell in the night, and filled him with alarm for his country. Mr. Clay, in 1850, declared that if the abolition crusade continued, it would dissolve the Union. Numbers of the greatest men of the country might be quoted to the same effect, down to Mr. Fillmore, who, in 1856, declared that the triumph of a sectional party, such as that which elected Lincoln, would dissolve the Union. Mr. Fillmore asked his immense audience, if the case were reversed, and the Southern States, upon a purely sectional issue, were to dictate Presidents to the Union, would they submit? and the response was unanimously, and from the ground-swell of the popular impulse — no! But Mr. Botts sees nothing to cause all the excitement! The Herald has done it all! He intimated that the Southern seceding States would be in a bad position if their ports were all bloc

Abraham Lincoln by his own Confession a Sympathizer with John Brown. --Let him who has heretofore doubted, read and act, and by his Vote on Monday say whether he agrees with the views Expressed Below; for that is the Issue, and the only Issue. Let us meet it like true men: Abraham Lincoln on the John Brown Raid and Dred Scott Decision. [Letter from the Abolition President elect.] Wheeling,Va., Jan. 12, 1861. To the Editor of the Charleston Mercury: Enclosed Ie any disposition of them you may deem proper. Yours, &c., J. A. Spencer. Wheeling,Va., dec. 24th, 1860. Hon. A. Lincoln--dear Sir: I hope you will not deem it presumptuous in me, in thus demanding from you a plain reply to the follnegative, for this reason: said decision is hostile to the advancement of Republican principles, and therefore attended with danger in a Government like ours. Hoping the above will prove satisfactory, I am, sir. your ob'tserv't. A. Lincoln.

spect. The prospects of the Peace Congress get gloomier and gloomier every day. New York will send ten Commissioners, who "are required to act solely under the direction of the Legislature. " which is Black Republican and are to take no part in the proceedings, unless a majority of the non-slaveholding States are represented." Woe to the people of Virginia, if, on Monday next; their votes are influenced by the hope of any good growing out of the Congress of Commissioners. Three compromise committees have already failed signally. What can be hoped for from a fourth.? The correspondence between Judge Black and the foreign Ministers, in reference to the collection of customs at Charleston, is published this morning; but nobody can made head or tall of it. The plain truth is, this Government is not going to recognize the independence of the Southern Confederacy until compelled, and if Seward and Lincoln can get the North up to the coercion point, they are going to do it.

uare. The streets are lined everywhere the soldiers in uniform, like the gendarmerie of Paris. It is difficult to say whether the authorities responsible for these things are more mad, insolent, or sycophantic. The military escort proposed for Lincoln is the worst pieces of toadyism which the age has yet witnessed. In a few months, this city has completely changed its political coat; and, though in the South, turns its back against her to make obeisance to Lincoln.
