JITS* DEMOCRATS ATTENTION, —lhe
Democrats of the SECOND WARD, Allegheny
City, are requested to meet at Mr GEORGE WALTERS,
comer of Federal street and North Oommoe, on SAT.
URDAY evening, lieltreen the hours of 5 end » o’clock
P. M-,to elect delegates to the County Convention.
By order of the
COUNTY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
XIIE PRESIDENT ELECT.
Hob. Abraham Lincoln has come and
gone. On tho whole, he has made a favor
able impression upon the people; but as Al
legheny is the boasted banner county of
the banner State, it is quite natural that
those who gave 10,000 majority for Mr. Lin
coln and the Chicago platform, should be
pleased with their representative man.—
Neither is Mr. Lincoln as ungainly in pei
sonal appearance, nor as ugly in the face, as
he has been represented. ILe is by no mean,
a handsome man, but yet be poseoases an
intelligent countenance and a gentlemanly
mien, and his facial angiea would not break
a looking glass.
For the manner of bi« reception, which,
on the part of our ciliiene, was warm, en-
thuaiastic anti appropriate, we refer Lo our
local columns. A very large crowd greeted
his arrival in this city on Thursday night,
notwithstanding the rain, and a very large
crowd also attended his public mu/i/.rr at the
Monongahela House, oil hriday morning.
The welcoming address of Mayor \\ iUon
was in good taste —patriotic, sensible and
brief, as became the occasion. Us allusions
afforded the President elect an opportunity
to make a speech which would have cheered
the hearts of all who heard him, ami spread
joy over the whole laud. But Mr. Lincoln,
here, as at other plaeesjon bus route, did not
respond to the wolcomo ol the Mayor, in
the patriotic and Union-loving stylo, which
many desired and hoped for. Briefly he
alluded to the difficulties which hang over
the nation, and without indicating anything
of his policy, and having no precedent to
guide hiuu, asked all the time for reflection
which he could have, in order that “when
he did speak, he might speak rightly.”
The speech which ho made hero is the
first "set speech" which Mr. Lincoln has
made during his progress ; yet he did not
embrace the opportunity to declare himself
for that compromise and concession which is
so urgently demanded by all tbe true friends
of the Union, both North and South. The
golden opportunity he again permitted to
pass unimproved.
Mr. Lincoln seeni3 determined to conceal
his policy to the last moment, lie makes
use of words apparently to conceal thoughts
and intentions. But, although ho gave no
indications of his national policy here., and
expressly declined to do so, yet his ideas of
coercion may properly be inferred from tbe
following extract from his remarks made at
Indianapolis. There he said:
• “Would marching an army into South Car
olina with hostile intent he invasion ? I think
it would, and it would bo coercion also, if the
South Carolinians wore forced to submit But
iftbe United States should merely hold aDd
retake its own forts, and collect the duties, or
withhold the mails where they were habitually
violated; would any or all these things bo
invasion or coercion ? Do professional l nion
lovers resolved to resist coercion, understand
that such things as these, on tho part of tbe
United Slates, would bo coercion or invas on :
If they do, their idea of preservation is exceed
ingly tbm and airy."
Wo take this to mean, when translated
and stripped of ils suppositious character,
the Federal*forUjrre to be rcLihen, the Southern
ports blockaded, and the FedtTal duties collected ,
when 1 have taken tho Presidential chair.
If this is done, hard lighting must come and
blood aud treasure must run out like water.
This language will alarm the cotton Slates,
who will take measure* to resist the shock
* 'and will cause the Border States, which are
pledged against coercion, to assume a posi
tion of armed neutrality and ask the chief
of Republicanism fora flag of truce, until
the programme of the Peace < ’ongress, the
Peace committee and the Peace measures of
Congress can bo decided upon. W hatever
might liave been thought oT the j*olicy of
coercion at the commencement of Hliese
troubles, the matter has now progressed so
far that the whole aspect of the question has
changed, and the government must now
decide whether the revolution has not been
already too successful to be any louger re
garded as a rebellion to be put down by
’ force of arras. It is a serious and momeot
v ous question whether it is not too late to
conquer a peace. It must be done by hon
orable compromise and reasonable conces
sion, if done at all.
But in his remarks here Mr. Lincoln, cau
tiously avoiding the great question, devoted
his time to a secondary subject—that of the
tariff. His attempt to tickle the Pennsyl
vanians by speaking of that in which they
are supposed to be greatly interested was
politic, but not satisfactory. Pennsylva
nia cares more lor the Union than she does
tor the Taritf’, and Pennsylvania would
rather have heard how the Chief Magistrate
of the Union was going to sustain his gov
ernment, than to listen to his views upon a
question which the action of Congress upon
tile Morrill Bill, now before them, will soon
decide.
But let our readers examine Mr. Lincoln'**
tariff speech, which will be found upon our
first page, for themselves. We wait with
patience for his speech upon the manner in
which this Union is-to be preserved and per
petuated.
Although the Morrill Tariff Bill has-been
for three sessions before Congress, Mr.
Lidcoln does not seem to be thoroughly in
formed upon it—any more than he is upon
the geography of Pittsburgh, when ho
speaks of the South as " across the Kivor. ”
But the people have censed to look for
any good results from the progress of Mr
T.iwenln through the country. It is a farce
ofthe most puerile and trifling description-
It is tfmn that .this Prince of. Bails had
jjgggedjhia triumphal ovations, and turned
his itf thS serious mattert which
mm* ah mart deni&pd hia attention. When
before was it ever known that a President
elect of the United Slates sent an advance.
through the country, alist of appointments
✓ *
■where he would bn and where he would
expect to be, made a lion of by his political
i friends, and in pursuance of a fixed plan,
igo on making small slzxl
to excited audiences, meaning notli-,
mg and resulting in no good. I
It is trilling for Mr. Lincoln to say
is no crisis except such an one “ ‘urhulentj
men hare caused, when the whole world,
knows that at thiß moment this Union iS
divided into two separate and distinct coni
federacies. The country is bleeding at
every pore for the Union, and yet Mr. Lmf
coin goes on with his raree show, and sovs
there is no crisis. No one possessing the
least dignity—no one possessing the least
patriotism —no one having any knowledge
of politics, of government, or of mankind,
no man fit to be President of a United
American Republic would dare to trifle with
his country’s dangers as Abraham Lincoln
is now doing. We are sick of such senseless
ovations. They are unbecoming a Republi
can government at any time, and least of
all at a time when that government is dis
solving, and can only be saved fiom <te
truction by real earnest men, and not
tri tiers.
NAVAL PREPARATIONS.
The United States revenue cutter Harriet
Lane was on Wednesday removed from her
moorings at Jersey City to the Brooklyn
navy yard, by order of the navy department.
This action, together with the fitting out-of
the steamers Corwin, Bibb, and Vixen, give
rise to the re[.ort that preparations are
making to blockade some of the ■ outliern
ports, in case necessity demands such a
procedure.
The Harriot l.ano is to he temporal dy

THE STATE CONVENTION.
To-day the election ufd.dcgates takes pi ire
in the several districts of the county, to meet in
Convention on Monday to choose deb'/' 1 ’ e
to llie Slate Convention at Harrisburg. In
both the County and State Convention, it
is important that the Democracy shi-uid
now take a firm and decided stand tor lh<‘
Uniou, and declare the doctrines by
which they will l>c w.lliug to stand hereaf
ter. To this end, and in order that their
views may be fairly expressed, and tncir
wishes eatried out, the people must be care,
ful to select delegates of enlarged liberality
in their views, and who have the talent in
telligently to act upon the great questions
of the day. We want, at Harrisburg, the
best, most moderate, conservative and
soundest men of our parly. Iho Conten
tion is for national* not political objects,
and mere politicians are not wanted at Har
risburg on the -Ist. 1 his Convention will
be one of the most important ever held in
Pennsylvania, and its action may lead to
vast results. Hot the people send good men
there to represent them.
The hour of the primary meetings will
lie found designated in Ibo call of the t 'ounty
Committee, at the head of our editorial
columns.
THE !»Ata/.INEM,
Hunt A: Miner of the great l’enodie-d
Depot, Filth street, have bent us the Lon
don Quarterly for January, and Harpers
Monthly Magazine for March. Huh are
extraordinarily good numbers of extraordi
narily good and substantial publication.'!.
Mr. Tbackery'a New Story is continued in
,Lhis number of Harper, printed nul .-lanlially
with its publication in Kngland, and it alco
contains a series of Illustrated papers of
American Life, Character and Scenery, 'i he
same publishers have sent us Fran* Leslie
for February, which is one of the cheapest
as well as best of the lighter class of Maga
zines. Hunt & Miner have all the newspa
pers and late works of the day as soon as
they issue from the press.
Affairs at ttie South
Affairs at the South still present tho same
aspoct. Letters received from Fort Sumpter
state that tho South Carolinians havo erected
an impregDablo barrier of railroad 'iron on
Cummings' Point, at a point bo near tho tort
as to enable them to do much mischief. Fort
Moultrie has algo been much strengthened.—
Liout. Oilman, one of tho olßcera in command
of Fort Pickens, at Pensacola, arrived at
Washington on Wodnosday ovoning. He
states that tho Brooklyn had not landed her
supplies, Captain Slemmor having notified her
commander that ho had sufficient for three
months. Thero were twolve hundred troops
at Pensacola, eager to attack the fort, and it
was apprehended that it would betaken before
the Brooklyn could throw hor troops into it.
Govcrumeut Small Notes.
In view of the pressing embarrassments of
tbe Treasury Department, from lack of means
to moot indispensable obligations, Mr. Sher*
man, the Chairman of tho Committee of Ways
and Moans of the House; has reported a bill
authorizing the President, in place of any part
of the recent loan, to issue coupon bonds of a
denomination not exceeding fifty dollars, and
bearing not exceeding six per centum interest,
and running twunty years, and apply such
bonds at par to the creditors who may receive
them—tho entire amount not to succeed that
authorized by the recent loan act.
Seizure at* Cartridges.
The police of New York on Wednesday
made a seizure of several thousand cartridges
destined for Charleston. The cartridges were
markod H. Atcher, Charleston, S. C-, and
wore to havo gone on the stoamer Huntsville,
tO.Savannah. After thoir seizure by the po-
Jthey wore, conveyed to the Arsenal on
Seventh Avenne.

-1» <0 and Charleston in lcol. Wo make luo .
following extract :
If wo go back to the colonial period of our
history, to the winter of 1,7 j 0, only eighXy-aix
years, we shall, if we examine carefully, lind
Boston at that time somewhat in tEe condi
tion of Charleston nmv. It was in a state of
irritated opposition tolLo British Government,
garrisoned by British troops under General
Gage for the purpose of protecting British
property and executing British laws. Lord
North was as determined then as Mr. Lincoln
is now to oxecute the laws, to put down the
traitors, at every hazard and with all the
power Great Bmiari had at her command. —
Lord North believed thu colonists could bo
easily subdued, and that it w. a only nevefsary
to exhibit a Uttlo firmness tu quell tbo tnreal
enod storm. Not so thought, the Karl of
Chatham, acknowledged now by ail to have
been, in energy and wisdom the first and
greatest statesman of all who have figured in
the elovatod station of Prime Minister of that
ronownod Empire, liis “glorious adminislra*
Uon,” for so all Englishmen of all parties
declare it, hud been particularly identified
with America. The campaigns of 1758, 'OU—
’OO, were made under his special directions. It
was then that Canada was conquered, and tho
French power east of tho Mississippi destroyed.
Uo had marked with emphasis id aj probation
the zeal, the courage and liberality of the col
onists in support id the war ; and when, by
the unwise counsels of ilia successors in ctlico,
the hump Act had been parsed, ho was one of
the foremost to demand us repeal.
On the 2Uin ol January, 1775, he moved in
the 11.jU.-o id Lord* that an address should be
presented, iiis Muj ?»ly to givo immediate
orders t\.r removing tus troops from Boston,
tor the purpi.se ot preventing a collision and
opening a way to conciliation,

have not seceded, with hardly an exception,
have solemnly pledged themselves, in tho con
tingency indicated, to assist the Southern re
public against tho fleets and armies of the
Government of tho Unitod States.
Thus we perceive that Mr. Lincoln, in tho
outset of his journey to the White House, has
foreshadowed tho experiment of the subjuga
tion by force oi arms of tho whole South, in
cluding a white population of oighty millions,
almost evory man ot which is a trained rifle
man. Fushed to tho wall, the Soutli can ox
temporize an efficient army of threo hiiudrod
thousand men upon a month’s notice. Against
sucli a force, the qualities of which have been
indicated at Montoroy, liuena V ista, Churu
busco and (Jbapultepoc, what would bo the
result of Mr. Lincoln's policy of subjugation 1
The enlargement of the Southern Republic to
the northern boundary of the berdor slave
States, and a treaty of peace with it, under an
irrepressible northern popular reaction, rec
ognizing tho independence of this Southern
Confederacy, or tho violent overthrow of Mr.
Lincoln, his administration and his party.
Such are tho strong probabilities, ono way
or the other, of the ensuing twelve months, as
foreshadowed by the Bpecchos of the I’rosident
elect on the one Bide, and by this Southern
Confederacy and Southern public opinion on
the other sido. The truth is, that Mr. Lincoln,
since his nomination for tho Presidency, but
more especially sinco his election, has been so
completely surrounded by the anti-slavery
radicals, fanatics, flunkeys and parasites of his
party, that he has been excluded from the
wholesome atmosphere of the genuine public
opinion of the North. Wo must, therefore,
admonish tne American people to prepare for
tbe calamities of a civil war, and for the ruin*
ous experiment of a military despotism at
Washington. — i>'. J- Herald.

ington.we are told by tho enemies of concession
that all the Slates are not therein represented.
that this objection is well made;
but is thtsiany yulid reason to ihe object sought
after? Certainly not; for if tho objecting
portion wil. but rofer to the first ©lection of
George "Washington tc tho Presidency, they
will find that three Slates did not vote, i. e.:
i ork, Xorlh Carolina and Rhode Island.
Does this constitute any real or valid founda
tion why tho groat and good Washington
should not exercise tho funelmns of the chief
executive of this r«um? Wo are wearied
out, and absolutely vexed with the trivial obs
joctions raised by men who are anxous to
piunge tho country in.o civil war. Tho men
who are so dc&irous to heal the breach will
(come what may) deserve the gratitude of mil
lions and no man rnoro entitled to such diß#
tinction than tho venerable Senator from Ken
tucky. “Bloaeod be the peace maker, for ho

of the Republic to rise above mero party, that

Illinois Currency.
The Banking Bill introduced into the Illi
nois Legislature by 'William Hacker, E«q , of
Union county, is one in which St. louis and
Missouri have sufficient to warrant a
special Ufl.j||pB subject of Illi
nois currency i#- important to us
thaii to Illinois. WMwVer promises to securo
t<r'that State a currency : pemanently safe, and
guarded againßt disasirous fluctuations in value
is Bo directly related to our own commercial
affairs, that We welcome it at once. Mr.
Hacker's bill proposoa a- Mother Bank at
Springfield, with thirty branches, on a specie
basis.
We learn that no other bill on that subject
hitherto introduced, commands so much favor,
or has conciliated U> itself mch stroog support
in the Legislature. This bill is, virtually, a
copy of tuo charter of the Bank of lndi*
ana, and is therefore recommended by the re
sults of a long and iuccesslul experience. The
old State Bankof Indiana stood for twenty-five
years, aud it n»s been tuo boast of cit’&ens oi
ihal Bute, that no man over lost a dollar by it.
The charter of this institution expired about
In tho meantime, however, Ibo free Bank
system was inaugurated in that State, and in
lbOSlhe country was Hooded with nino mil
lions of tho free bank currency of that State.
It i 3 still fresh in tho : ccollection of our read
ers that tho Cincinnati bankers, in 1854, com
menced their run on tho Indiana banks, crea
ting a panic and ruinous depreciation in tho
value of their notes, with the inevitable resuit
of broken banks, prostrate business rneD, crip
pled brokers, and incalculable general loss.
In February, 1805, the Legislature of Indi
ana chartered the Bank of the Stale of lodiaua
It baa fully satisfied, wo believe, tho demands
of that prosperous Siato lor a sate banking
system, it has moved steadily forward with
out failure or suspension, paying iu gold and
?ilver every dollar prese uted for redemption,
ami enjoying tho confidence of the rich and
the poor, the depositor and tho bill holder.
The people of Illinois demand of the legis
lators the passage of such a bank bill as will
enable th'-iu to convert into specie the notes
pairing from hand to hand in the community,
it can scarcely bo doubted that they will be
siiUtdtod with as good and sound currency as
Indiana luTU'-bes her people. The individual
liability oi each stockholder for double tho
amount of Ins stock gives the bid holder ample
I MViirity in itself, while the joint liability of all
[ the br»Df b**s for the debts and obligations of
■each branch, renders tho notes m> re than dou
; blv sure.
