The Daily Dispatch: January 21, 1861., [Electronic resource], The National crisis. (search)
The National crisis. Public Sentiment in Virginia — Proclamation of Lincoln's Policy — Indignation of New York Troops — Things at Charleston — Interesting Incidents, &c.,&c.,&c. From the tone of the newspapers, and correspondence from vari emergency. We append a summary of information from other quarters, bearing upon the crisis in national affairs Lincoln's position Defined. The New York Tribune makes the following apparently official editorial announcement. It will be seen that Mr. Lincoln not only opposes any concession to the South, but threatens means of coercion: The question having anew been raised, we mean it proper to say again what we have said before, and we wish to be understood as saying it authoritatively, that President Lincoln is not in favor of making concessions to the slave power, either pretended concessions or real concessions, nor in favor of any measure looking to the humiliation of freedom and of the free States, no matter in wh

Lincoln speaks again. By reference to the extracts on our first page on the crisis, it will be seen that the Tribune, Lincoln's oracle, speaks by authority for him that he will make no consessions whatever. Seward, in his polished and artful generalities, had already indicated as much. Lincoln speaks again.

Lincoln's Journey to Washington. --The Marshal of the Police Department of Baltimore has written to the Mayor of Washington that the "President elect" is in no danger of an attack while passing through the Monumental City, on his way to the seat of Government." The "President elect," he says, "will need no armed escort in passing through or sojourning within the limits of this city or State, and, in my view, the provision of any such at this time would be ill-judged." The mind of the "President elect" will doubtless be relieved by this assurance.

mmencement of that great officer's career as commander-in-Chief. He was at the battle of Brooklyn, in the retreat through the Jerseys, and commanded the advanced company which surprised the Hessians on the morning of the battle of Trenton. He fought, likewise, in the battles of Princeton, Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth, and assisted in the storming of Stony Point. Sent, with the Virginia troops, under the command of General Charles Scott, to Charleston, he was captured with the rest of Lincoln's army, at that place, but was exchanged early enough to take part in the siege of York. He was, we have understood, wounded more than once during his long and arduous service, and by some casualty of war, either by a shot, or by leaping from a parapet, was lamed for life. The meeting between him and LaFayette in 1824, at Louisville, was described in the papers of the day as highly interesting. There was no braver officer in the American army, and no officer led a braver body of men. The

n. Active measures are in progress to have the course of Virginia, in sending Commissioners to Washington on the 4th of February, responded to by similar movements in all the States. Dispatches have been sent to Harrisburg, Pa.; Albany, N. Y.; Columbus, Ohio, and other State Capitals where Legislatures are in session, urging the prompt appointment of good and able men to confer with the Virginia Commissioners. Washington is now more free from excitement than at any time since the commencement of the session of Congress. Apprehensions of difficulties attending the inauguration of Lincoln exist, but to a limited extend.--However, to guard against any possible disturbance, ample measures have been taken to preserve the peace. With the probable action of Louisiana this week, the secession movement will be retarded as to other States. A company of sappers and miners, from West Point, acting as infantry, arrived here to-day, and are quartered at the Columbian armory.

as one entirely improbable, by those who were for "exhausting all remedies within the Union." She is gone! What State can now be relied upon by them? Can any one doubt that there will be eight States out of the Union by the last of February? And yet we constantly hear persons talk of "preserving the Union!" The literature of politics does not keep pace with the rapidity of events! The Union is gone, and though it may be re-constructed, it cannot be preserved. In a legal sense, Abraham Lincoln could not now be President; for the Confederacy he was elected to preside over is not in existence. The Gulf States are making the "Views" of General Scott dissolving views. They are relieving South Carolina from the attitude of forming a "gap" in the territory of the Union, by establishing a continuous line of secession from South Carolina to Texas, and terminating the line of the Federal Government at the Northern border of the Palmetto State. In that event, even General Scott

A Confessed Perjurer. The N. Y. Evening Post says: "A Republican who has just returned from Maryland, reports that ten thousand men have been secretly organized in Mary land and Virginia, to prevent the inauguration of Lincoln, and to stop all progress through the State to the Federal Capital. "He says that he traveled as a Virginian, and gained the confidence of the conspirators by taking the oath of secrecy." Who can believe a man that confesses himself a hypocrite and perjurer? There is no truth in his base charge. It is a wicked invention of the Republicans to justify the meditated incursion of the "Wide Awakes" into Washington,
