ople there regarded the hero of that invasion as a martyr. And now a vast party, called the Republican party, had secured the National councils, and elevated Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency; and in a few more revolutions of the wheel they would have every department of government. The speaker then analyzed the Chicago platform, Southern States.--In connection with this point, he alluded to the higher law and irrepressible conflict doctrines — the last of which had been proclaimed by Abraham Lincoln, in his speeches, two years ago. Lincoln had told the people that if he were in Congress, and the question of the extermination of slavery was to come up, he Lincoln had told the people that if he were in Congress, and the question of the extermination of slavery was to come up, he would vote for it, in spite of the Dred Scott decision. Thus, through its chosen champions had the party presented to the South the alternative of submission and humiliation, or a bold maintenance of her rights. He hoped she would choose the latter. The North had rendered a verdict in favor of the doctrines of the Helper book, a

ition of the country, which distinguishes his Administration above all which ever preceded it. Intimate acquaintances have seen, for three months past, that a real sorrow has been wearing upon the mind and heart of the President. He has declared for many weeks, here, that he should see the President elect inaugurated, hear his oath to support the Constitution, and then go to his home. "In the midst of the great excitement and threatening danger here, he has said: I shall ride beside Mr. Lincoln, from the White House to the Capitol, even if it rains bullets. 'I shall then go to Lancaster, pass my days in retirement, and seek to find consolation and religion in the Church. Bitter sorrow has taught me that happiness can be found no where else.' Mr. Buchanan, therefore, purposes at once, upon his return to his old homestead, to become a member of the Presbyterian Church, in which he has usually worshipped. He feels — and let us attribute it rather to good than bad impressions — as

t "prompt action," but not for submission. The Raleigh Standard, (Union paper,) speaking of the result, says: "In speaking of the successful party as Unionists, we must not be understood as saying that they will submit to the administration of the Government on sectional or Black Republican principles, but that they are anxious to preserve the Union on a Constitutional basis, and to obtain such guarantees as will lead to a permanent reconstruction of the Union. The Unionists entertain hopes, and nearly all of them strong hopes, that the Union can and will be preserved, and they are willing to show their faith in this respect by their works. They are opposed to disunion at this time, and would regard it at any time as fraught with numerous and great calamities; and they are also opposed to the attempts which are being made to Mechanize this Republic by breaking it up and incurring the hazards of revolution simply on account of the election of Mr. Lincoln to the Presidency."

From Washington. Washington,March 3.--A number of Conservatives from the Virginia Convention, are here to gain information touching postage affairs, and will report to the Convention. They return to Richmond to-morrow, and, it is reported, somewhat depressed with the present aspect of affairs, hoping, however, Lincoln will conservatize his Cabinet. The city is filled with strangers. There are rumors concerning the formation of the Cabinet, but nothing is positively yet known. The Cabinet makers are very active. The Senate is in session to-night. It is understood that Mr. Crittenden makes his valedictory speech. Minister Dallas has sent the Government facts concerning the course of the Chief Justice of England relative to the negro Anderson fugitive slave case, showing a difference between the two Governments concerning the interpretation of the Extradition treaty. No measures of a strictly coercive character has been passed by Congress. The Pacif

e doubt whether, since the foundation of this Government, anything half so disgusting, discreditable and disgraceful to the character of the United States, has occurred as the plot to impute a plot to the Southern people for the assassination of Lincoln. The suspicions constantly expressed by his friends would be only ludicrous if they did not involve so seriously the reputation of the country. They suspect everybody and everything of being combined to kill Abraham Lincoln; they suspect their Abraham Lincoln; they suspect their own friends; they examine railroad seats before he sits down, and even carriages are searched lest their beloved prophet might be suddenly transported to Heaven in a chariot of fire. Even the abolition town of Newark, N. J., which exports more clothing and carriages to the South than any other town in New Jersey, could not be trusted. The carriages provided by the committee of reception were examined before the august and beautiful person of Abraham was ensconced therein.--What a set of Thugs

Mr. Lincoln's last speech. Mr. Lincoln made what will probably be his last speech previous to the Inauguration, at Washington, on Thursday evening, in reply to a serenade from his Republican friends.--He said: My friends — I suppose that I may take this as a compliment paid to me, and as such please accept my thanks forMr. Lincoln made what will probably be his last speech previous to the Inauguration, at Washington, on Thursday evening, in reply to a serenade from his Republican friends.--He said: My friends — I suppose that I may take this as a compliment paid to me, and as such please accept my thanks for it. I have reached this city of Washington under circumstances considerably differing from those under which any other man has ever reached it. I am here for the purpose of taking an official position amongst the people, almost all of whom were politically opposed to me, and are yet opposed to me, as I suppose. [Loud cries of "Nods. [Loud cheers.] And now, my friends, with these few remarks, and again returning my thanks for this compliment, and expressing my desire to hear a little more of your good music, I bid you good night. Mr. Lincoln retired amidst three big cheers. The band played Yankee Doodle, and six cheers were given for the Unio

The Abolition Hegira. The Philadelphia Inquirer, alluding to the Honest Old Ape of Illinois having sneaked into Washington disguised in a Scotch cap and long military cloak, gravely terms the exploit, "Mr. Lincoln's first coup d'etat." The Charleston Mercury asks what would the Inquirer say if his next achievement should be to sneak out of Washington?
