ALL KINDS OF PLAIN FANCY TitINTINQ DONE TO OED.-EB* ja22 PITTSBURGH. THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 21, 1861. THE LATEST NEWS. BY TELEGRAPH. Congressional News. Washington City Items Mr. Lincoln’s Reception in New York. &c., &c„ Washington, Fob. 20. —Hoisk.— The House resumed tbe consideration of the Vol unteer bill, as reported from the Military Committee. Mr. Bocock, of Virginia, said he considered tbe passage of tho bill a foregone conclusion. Ho opposed it on account of tbe features which appear on its face. He opposed it in consequence of the effects its passage will pro duce on the peace and prosperity of tbo coun try. He opposed it, above all, more than all, in consequence of the policy it indicate*, if it docs not, in the strongest degree, imitate. He yesterday charactonzxl the bill as a declara tion of war, and having since carefully read it, he roiterated the remark. It was more iban a declaration of war. It in vested the President, In time of peace, with dictatorial powers. Tho bill does something more than supprosa invasion and insurrection It authorises the President to employ a military force to sup press insurrection against the authority of the United BtaDa. He briefly argued upon various feature* in the (.'ucstituLon to show that they were designed and intended to prohibit tho general government from operating in the Stolen, unless by their consent. This bill authorises tbe President to carry on a positive dirrol and immediate coerciou against the seceding Sutei ami goes further than that The morning hour expired and th j consider ation of the reportof the Ooiutmueo of Thir ty* three was resumed. Mr. Valiandighain, of Ohio, aJdre-H'd the House at length, in an earnest speech in favor of preserving the Union by peace, conciliation and comprourse. He advocated bis own pro position to give a veto power in the •- mate, and an electoral college to tbo four principal sections of the Union so as to protect thorn selves against aggression. Tbe House p&saed to tbo consideration of the the Bonate amendments to the Navy ap propriation bill. The Amendment appropri ating $1,200,000 for the construction of three steam screw sloops of war, having boen road, Mr Garnett, of Vs, offered a proviso that the said ships shall not be used to execute the federal laws, or aid either land or naval forces in any States claiming to be without tho fed eral jurisdiction. He aaid that if there wore no other reason; the bankrupt condition of the Treasury should induce tbe House to refuse concurrence in the Senate’s amendment.— From what has been said in the Senate by prominent gentlemen these vessels were intended for coercive purposes, among other things he alluded to Mr. Lin co n'ft speeches and a private conversation between Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Hutchinson, of Kentucky, to show that Lincoln is iu favor of coercing the Southern States. He said that Lincoln is manly and frank, and does not attempt to hide the claws of the tiger under the velvet fur. He does not like his Republican friends to beck to avoid the issue. Mr. Stanton, of Ohio, thought it extraor dinary that Mr. Lincoln should be held committed to coercion from loose conversa tions. If the seceding States shall return to their allegiance, they will bring back the forts, etc., with them. If, on the contrary, they shall ultimately maintain a separate nationally, he did not believe that any man would wish to enter upon a course that could result in no practical good. Mr. Steven?, of Ponocylvania, hoped ihat what tho gentleman from Ohio had said was not said as tho united voice of the Republi can!. He, Mr. Slovene, held different views. He thought that it was tho intention to lake ail the public property id which they have been robbed, and retake it in such a manner as to necessarily uso the gentlest moans at lird, and then such as may be necessary. Mr. Stanton, in further explanation, faid in reply to Mr. Stevens that be took it for granted that the r.oxt admmietratioo will not recog nize tho Constitutional right of secession. It will be treated as revolution. Ho took it (or granted that Mr. Lincoln will seu that ho uas no Constitutional power to forego thy execu tion of tho Wws in the nu-do least calculated to create difficulty. If the Southern State? do not return and there in no Constitutional mode of recognising a separate nationality, of course this business must end in and there is no escape from it. Mr. Garnett. —There iu no great 'j.ffereoco between tbe two gentlemen. Thu guruleiuan from Ponca. Lfor retaking the foru, etc., now, and the gentleman from Ohio is lor retaking them after a littio, while 1 repeat that you have the declaration ot the Presub-nt elect, in his public Bpoecboa and in private conversation with Mr. Hutchison, that be in tends lu make war with the South.

Mr. Clingman accepted tbe suggestion. Mr. Mason, of Va., said that the bill was a declaration by the House that insurrection ex isted on the part of these States. Ho trusted that the Senate would look well on the ques tion, as it is one of the most grave and mo mentous character. He said that the fact was that certain States had confederated, and bad a Congress in session, with as much power as we possess, yet tbo bill calls it usurpation, and | assumes that this is no new empire, but that the Federal power Blill exists in these Slates. He proceeded to argue against anything which would plunge the country in civil war. Twelve o’clocs having arrived, the subject was dropped, and the tariff bill taken up. The amendments passed in committee were read and adopted, except a few on which a separate vote was asked. A sepa rate vote was also bad on the amendment reducing the doty bn sugar and placing the duty on tea and coffee. Mr. Bigler explained the action of this bill, showing the aggregate amount of esti mated increase in therevepuo to be *10,<>22, <>os, including tbe proposed duty on tea and coffee. &C., &C., Mr. Grimes, of lowa, moved to strikeout the words relating to tea and coffee. ljost.

This was debated at some length, and ti nally disagreed to. Mr. Line, of Oregou, oflVreJ his amend ment which substitutes substantially tho tariff’ ol 1 SAG. Mr. Douglas said he did not think it was true now to make any radical change* in tho revenue system, a 3 the postage of ulch a bill will alienate the affections for the Union of tho Southern people. lie hoped to seo tho system of commercial Intercourse adopted that would include all the States on the coatinont. Ho thought tho limes were auspicious for the inauguration of such a system as the Gorman Zilverem, and free trade in <*onliguous coun tries. He did Dot propose- to initiate any pol icy that would annex any of these countries, but simply to establish a commercial union, and have free trade with them. He suggested that such a commercial union might slain the settlement of the presont difficulties, and make the Union complete. Mr. Bigler replied. He aaid ho did not wished to be placed in any false position. Tho Senator from Illinois thinks that tho consid eration of tbe bill will add to the excitement, but forthwitn introduces a more complicated system. The people of his State, Pennsylva na, did not think that the passage of this bill would increase the difficulties of the country, when it was evident that something must be done to increase tho argue in favor of tbe ( resent bill. Mr. Douglas disclaimed any intention to make it appear that*’ Pennsylvania was doing anything to increase the excitement, and reit erated his objections to the bill. He wanted to do something to preserve the American I* nlon. Mr. Hale, of N. U. t said ho wanted to come back to something practical, and moved to amend so as to have fcnof duty uaUHings v>d statuary which are UwtSfteclipjfß of _Ameri- can Artists, ffnd plaSeartFother paintings and statuary under a duiy of Iff per ceut.

On motion of Mr. Seward of New York, the motion by which a duty was put on tea and coffee was reconsidered. Mr. Simmons, of R. 1., said the govern ment was about to be demoraliaed ror want of money, and it would make no dlffence in the prico of tea and coffee. Ho moved that tho duties oa coffee and t-ugar bo limited to two years. Mr. Hale, of N.

Mr. Lincoln and suite occupying cloven carriages, then rode to tbe Astor House, and all along the route the streets were packed with (njople, but tho party had no difficulty iu their progress, owing to the excellent police arrangements. It id esti mated that a quarter of a million of people witnessed the entry of the future President.— A continuous cheering was kept up from the depot to tho hotel. At tho Aster House thorn was an lrnriiei>e assembly, aod on the arrival of the President elect he was received with evory manifestation of applause. Tho streets ol the city wero nil decorated with tlags; tbe shipping in the harbor also hoisted thair bunt ing during tho day, and the city generally dis played a holiday appoarance. The Republican Clubs, of tho city, waited on Mr. Lincoln in tbo hall of the Astor blouse. General Deluttold Smith addressed Mr. Lin coln in a speech of welcome, alluding to the fact that tho ha l had only been occupied on three occasions tor the reception of public men ; onco for Webster, once for Clay, and now lor Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Lincoln responded. Mr. Chairman, I did not understand when J was brought into this room, that I was to make a epooch. 1 was about to enter the roOtu where Webster and Clay had uiado spooches, and where in my position 1 might bo expected to do something like those men, or something unworthy of myself or my audience. I repeat what I have befwro stated that when tbo time does come for me tu act, \ shall tako the ground that 1 believe to bo right, (applause,) that I think is right for tho North, tho South, the East, and the whole country. [Cries of good, cheers, and applause.] And in doing so 1 hope to feel no necessity pressing upon mo to say any thing in cont Let with the Constitution, in con flict with the Union of these States, in conflict with the perpetuation of tho liberties of this people, or I may add, in contradistinction witn anything I have given you roason to expoct from mo. [Applause.) New York, Feb. 20. —Mayor Wood for mally received Mr. Lincoln at ten o’clock this tm.ruing, in the Governor’s room of the City Hall. Mayor Wood said : “It becomes my duty to extend an official welcome ia behalf uf the corporation, tn doing bo permit me to say that this city never offered her hospi tality to a man clothed with more exalted powers or resting under graver responsibili ties than those which circumstances have devolved upon you. Coming into office with a dismembered government to reconstruct, and a disconnected auid hostile people to reconcile, it will require a high patriotism and an elevated comprehension of the whole country —its varied interests,opinions and to ap conduct the oublic affairs as to bring it back again to its longer harmonious, consolidated and prosperous condition. 1 refer to this topic because New York ia deeply interested. The pres ent political divisions have sorely afflicted her people. Her untried interests are parahzed. Bhe is the child of the American Union- She has grown up under its national care, and been fostered by its pa ternal bounty, and we fear if the Union dies present supremacy of New York will perish with it. So, to you therefore, chosen under the forms of tbe Constitution tho head of the confederacy, we jook for & restoration of the fraternal relations between the States, which is only to be accomplished by peaceful and conciliatory means aided by Almighty God. Mr. Lincoln responded: “Mr. Mayor —lt is with feelings indeed of gratitude that 1 make my acknowledgements for the reception frhich has been extended to mo bv this great commercial city of Now York. I can but re member that such a reception is tendered by a people who do not, by a majority, agree with me in political sentiments. It is moro grateful on this account, because it is an evidence that in support of the great principles that underlie our government, the people are nearly, or quite unanimous. In regard to the dilficulties which encompass us at this time, and of which your Honor has thought fit to speak so becom ingly and justly, as I suppose, X can only say that I agree with the sentiment expressed by the Mayor. In my devotion to the Union, I hope I am not behind any man within the Union ; but in the wisdom neeefsary to so conduct affairs, I fear I may be deficient, and that too groat confidence has been reposed in me. lam sure, however, that lat least bring a heart devoted to the work. There is nothing which could bring ino to consent willingly to the destruction of that Union under which, not alone the groat commercial city ol Now York, hut the whole country has acquired greatness. As I understand, the ship was made fur the c&rriago and preservation of tbo cargo, and bo lung as Lho Bhip can be saved with the cargo, it should never be abandoned.— Wo should never cease our efforts to save it, bo long a-t it can be done without throwing overboard the passengers and cargo. >j long as the prosperity and lib« orty of this people can be preserved in the Union, it will be my effort at all times, to pre serve that Union. II o closed by thanking tho Major fur his reception. At the close of tho remarks, the members of tho City Council and Bute government were introduced, after which the people wore admit ted and an immense rush was made to got into the Governor’s room, and the jam was tremen dous, many thousands attempting to gain ad mittance and rent clothes and some bruises wore tbo cunflequonce. Many were unable to shako hands with Mr. Lincoln, and at one o'clock he returned to his hotel.
