A Prototype.
Soma of tho republican papers,in speak
ing of the flight of Lincoln from llarris
burg, say ho actually performed a Coup
d etat. Now a coup d ctat means a bold
Stroke) a masterly political achievement ;
and the prototype for tho coup d ctat is
tho act of Napoleon III, when be arrested
Sn tho night the friends of freedom in
Franca and banished them from tho SUalo
Thus in tho same manner docs Lincoln
taka possession of his capilol. What
haa become of that majority which bo
claims to. represent! The very claim
that he makes is evidence of his sectional
ism; for if ho does represent a majority, it
is a majority of only one uaction of the
Union, and not of tho whole.
Tho Hopo of tho Country.
It must be apparont to every sensible
man, who can take a calm survey of men
and things, that the Democratic- party is
the only political organization that has not
been "crushed out" by tho triumph of a
sectional President, and that still lives to
gave tho Union and perpetuate the glorious
institutions of our common country.
Hence, its mission now is to boldly step
forward and roll back tho waves of fanati
cism which threaten the destruction of the
Union.
The Republican party, although secure
of tho spoils of office, is already annihilated
by its own victory, a fact which will bo
fully demonstrated-in the next six months.
False principles cannot long triumph with
tho American peoplo. The first attempt
to carry them out i3 already convulsing
tho Nation from its centre t its circuui
foreneo ; and while the country is bleeding
at every pore, those who aro now flushed
with victory aro quietly folding their arms,
and proclaiming that they have no com
promises to make that "nobody is hurt,''
"nobody is suffering anything."
The Democraoy everywhere aro already
aroused, and are preparing to avenge the
wrongs inflicted on the country. The Re
publicans will never gain another victory.
or we aro more deceived than wc ever
wcro before in tho potcnoy of public
opinion.
Convention, held at Brant's Hall, in Harris
burg, on Thursday and Friday last, will
be found published at considerable length
in our columns. The Convention was ono
of tho greatest political assemblages, in
point of numbers and talent, that ever
convened in Pennsylvania, and tho plat
form unanimously adopted, as laid down
In tho resolutions, will bo heartily endorsed
by every Democrat and every truo conserv
ative man in tho State.
The commencement of tho Convention
was a littlo stormy and turbulent, perhaps
unavoidable in fo largo a body, but that
loon passed off after tho business was got
tomplctely under way, and tho closo of
tho proceedings wero.ordorly, pleasant and
agreeable in tho extreme. There seemed
to be but one feeling and that was for
union and harmony in our ranks, and for
conciliation and compromise in tho adjust
ment of our National difficulties. Tho old
feuds and heart burnings in the party were
nil sacrificed for tho good of our ecinmon
country, and tho Democracy of Pennsyl
vania will from henceforth bo a united
and victorious party.
Tho Lancaster JnteUtgenar saya, the
fpeeches delivered during tho sittings of
the Convention by Gen. Fostor, Mr. Wilto,
ilev. Di. Nevin, Judge Shannon, Mr,
Randall, Judgo Lewis, Mr. Welsh, Col.
late, Dr. Kcizer, and others, wero able,
eloquent and patriotic, and excited
unbounded enthusiasm from tho immense
ifSsftmBlago present.
It was a great day for tho Democracy
of Pennsylvania, and wo doubt not the
good effect that will follow from tho action
of Uio Convention will amply repay thy
delegates for nil (heir troublo and cxpenso
in getting together.
Having determined to run away himself,
Lincoln left llarrisburg in disguise in tho
night time.
Tho Sun is disposed to censure him
severely for avoiding tho direct route to
Raltimorc from fear of assassination, while
he committed Mrs. Lincoln to tho train
which was to bo blown up. It says :
We bavo information, on tho other hand,
that Mrs. Lincoln warmly oppoicd the
project, and to disprove tho whole story
determined in fulfilling the programmo to
Baltimore iu her own porson, and did so.
If this bo true, she ought to bo the Presi
dent elect. At all events it is true that
while, Mr. Lincoln went by another route,
ho affectionately left Mrs. Lincoln to come
by that on which tho cars wcro to be
thrown off tho track at tomo point be
tween llarrisburg and Baltimore, when a
horde of ruffians was to "rush down a
etecp embankment and destroy in a mo
ment tho lives of all on board I" And
the route was followed by Mrs. Lincoln,
when no ono knew that fl'r. Lincoln was
not on board j and eho arrived safely in
Baltimore and passed on to Washington.
So, thcro is to be some pluck in tho White
House, if it is under a bodice.
Tho Baltimoro Exchange says: Tho
fugacious exploit of tho President elect,
on Friday night, has disgusted even more
than it has astonished this community.
Tho mortifying chapter in which aro re
corded tho incidents of his progress from
Springfield to Washington, has come to a
fitting close. Mr. Lincoln had said and
done enough, prior to his arrival at liar
risburc, to mako us blush and tho rest of
the world laugh j but the stealthy and
ignoble adventure with whicli the narra
tive of his journey concludes will inevita
bly draw down upon U3 tho deruionof all
civilized nations. Tho confidence which
the country had been invited to repose in
tho wisdom, dignity and judgment ot tho
President elect, had been suddenly and
completely destroyed within forty-eight
hours after he left Springfield, and now he
has done that which has sorely shaken the
public respect for him as a man of dccis,
sion and courage. His ignominious en
franco into the National Capital will un
questionably beget among tho people of all
sections a feeling of contempt whicli it i
almost impossiLlo t'j over estimate.
That these are groundless and infamous
falsehoods, wo hopo it is not ncceisary for
us to stato. If any proof on this point
was needed, we might refer to the card of
tho Marshal ofPolice, which appears iu
tn.dav'a issue, and also to the fact that the
family from IJarrisburg'was'nofmoIcstca
at any point within tho Stato. It was be
lieved everywhere outsido cf this city,
that 'Mr. Lincoln was on that train; but
not one insulting word or gesturo anywhere
between York and Baltimoro indicated the
hostile feeling of the peoplo of Maryland
towards the President elect. This fact
alone conclusively contradicts the base fab
rieations by which Mr. Lincoln's foolish
fears wcro wrought upon.
Ho believed that tho Democrat were now
firmly united. When danger threatened
tho Country the party llocucu togatucr a a
band of brothers. Ho hoped that unity
and harmony would pervade tfco proceed
ings of the Convention.

Gen. Foster returned his sinccro thanks
for tho honor conferred upon him to pre
side over so largo a Convention. He was
but little versed in parliamentary rules,
but through tho indulgence of the niembcrB
of the Couvention, he would discharge his
duties iu accordance with what he consid
ered right. Vo had not brought this trouble
upon the country, but it was for us to re
store harmonv and peace, to unito our
heart and hands in such measures as were
essential for the crisis. Gon. Fostor was
truly eloquent in nlluding to tho troubles
of tho country and was rapturously ap
plauded throughout.

JUsolvcd, That tho Union of tho States
was founded by the wisdom of our patri
otic ancestors is sancioncd by tho ex
perience of our whole political existence,
and has secured tc us unexampled prosper
ity at homo and respect abroad. The
Democratic party will cling to it as tho

Itenolvcd, That tho Democratic party

ing but intcgiity can givo, and is deter
mined to sacrifice on tho alter of patriotism
all individual interest and past distensions,
and unite as a band of brothers to rescue
tho country from the control of those who
are seeking iU destruction J tht this coun.
try, with the host form of government that
ever was dovNed, is surrounded with dan
gers and difficulties whicli threaten its .cry
exi.'tence ; nnd yet the Republican party
refuses all reasonable terms ot comprom

possession of tho Government, seemingly
satisBcd with the disastrous culmination of
his "irrepressible conflict," declares "there
is nothing going wrong."
licsoved, '1 hat tho people of tho South
ern States contributed their exertions and
treasure in tho acquisition of tho territo
ries aqually with those of tho other States,
and that the principle which recognizes the
equal rights of all the States to tho same,
is founded on the clearest equity and sup
ported by tho decision of tho highest court
of the country. It ought, therefore, to bo
sustained by every law-abiding citizen, un
til a satisfactory dividing line can he set
tled, by an amendment of tho Constitution.
Jit solved, That every Stato is bound by
tho Constitution of tho United States to
aid in delivering up fugitive slaves to their
owners, and all legislation which withholds
such aid or throws obstacles iu tho way,
is unconslitutioual and bhould be repealed,
and suitable enactments substituted in ao

all stars." Judge Lewis, Yes, you arc freemen of Pennsylvania from any rcj
pectcu, lie continued, but that in a com
mitieo composed of thirty-three gentlemen,
some difference of opinion would manifest
itself in tho discussions on resolutions.
There were divisions of opinion, as thcro
was considerable discussion, because dis
cussion was necessary. That discussion
laitod until about two o'clock this morning.
We had a largo mass of resolutions from
all parts of tho country, to pass upon.
Somo from Tammany Hall, Connecticut,
and other places, besides not si few from
members of this Convention.
It was necessary, under theso circum
stances, io uro mo utmost care, and to
sift tho chaff rom the wheat in this mass
ot matter lurm-shcil tromso many Rourccs;
and wo did that duly scrupulously and
carefully. Jut I am happy to add, ho
continued, that tho committco wore unan
imous in their recommendation of the
ref olutious I am about to submit. You
will find rcsolulions on all the great issues
involving tho present impending difficulties
that now distract tho couutry, and among
them a resolution recognizing tho rights
of our Southern brethren, nnd opposing
all sorts of aggression upon thoso rights.
This announcement brought tho wholo
convention to their feet, who in three
hearty cheers gavo vent to their feolings,
as tho truo chord had been touched thnt
responded from tho breast of every mem-
oer oi mo convention.
Wo aro Forry that wc cannot
