The Daily Dispatch: February 14, 1861., [Electronic resource], Departure of Mr. Lincoln for Washington. (search)
ng. The Presidential Cortege. The following gentlemen compose the party: A. Lincoln, R. T. Lincoln, his son; John Hay, Secretary; Major Hunter, U. S. A.; Col. Ward H. Lamar, aid to Gov. Yatesono, Ill., the train was greeted with cannon firing and cheering. In response to the cheers, Mr. Lincoln appeared upon the platform and said: I am leaving you on an errand of national importan-- "Behind the cloud the sun is still shining." I bid you an affectionate farewell. Mr. Lincoln continues reserved and thoughtful, and stays most of the time alone in the private saloon prepared for his special use. The invitation of the New Jersey Legislature to Mr. Lincoln to visit Trenton, has been accepted, and the "President elect" goes there on Wednesday next. On the arrf the train at Indianapolis Monday afternoon, nearly 20,000 persons were congregated to greet Mr. Lincoln. He spoke from the balcony of the Bates House, from a manuscript prepared at Springfield, as

opped. Washington, without speaking especially of slavery, so predicted. He knew what sectionalism was in the army, and what it would be in the political arena; and he based his prophecy on what he supposed would be the spirit of independence and honor of a people who would brook no usurpation, no tyranny, no sectional appropriation of the powers of the Government. Finally, Mr. Fillmore predicted the destruction of the Government from the same cause — when a party like that which elected Lincoln triumphed he said the South would not submit, and he declared that were the South so to triumph the North never would submit. His immense audience on the occasion, at Rochester, unanimously re-echoed the sentiment. Mr. Kellogg, in his great speech, declared that while the sun shone the North would not surrender its opinions. Dr. Seabury, one of the most learned Divines of the Episcopal Church at the North, declares that there is no hope of a restoration of the Union without that chan

The Immaculate Abe. In a late speech, to a committee of Philadelphians urging Mr. Cameron for a seat in the Cabinet, Mr. Lincoln said: "In the formation of my Cabinet, I shall aim as nearly as possible at perfection. I have already appointed Senator Seward, and Mr. Bates, of Missouri, and they are men whose characters. I think, the breath of calumny cannot impeach. Any man whom I appoint to such a position, must be, as far as possible, like CŒsar's wife, pure and above suspicion, of unblemished reputation and undoubted integrity. I will not have any man associated with me whose character is impeached." This is what we had a right to expect. We always understood from Old Abe's neighbors and friends that he was a pink of purity and decency, and that when a representative in Congress he never stooped to any job that brought on a vociferous remonstrance, signed by five hundred of his own party! By no manner of means! And therefore it is not at all wonderful that he shou

The President elect's speech at Indianapolis. After the exhibition Lincoln has just made of himself, in his Puritanical, vulgar, slang-whanging speech at Indianapolis, we don't wonder that he has kept silent so long. Few Americans of any party can read that speech without blushing for the country that could elect to its highest office such a canting, ill-bred, indecent old man. We say nothing at all of its evident pointing to coercion, or its significant sneer at the "special sacredness of a State." Its thorough want of all dignity and elevation must disgust gentlemen, whether Republicans or Secessionists, whether they live in Massachusetts or South Carolina. To hear a President elect of the United States entertaining the country at any time, and especially at such a time as this, with illustrations drawn from "free love," "passional attraction," and homeopathic pills!"
