Mr. Lincoln then retired with the Governor
to the suit Ac rooms apftropriated to him in

to a largo. number of persons.
At half plot two o'clock, Mr. Lincoln was
conducted to the Capitol, by Our. Curtin and
and entered the House of Represrutlitives,

Pr'esident was addressed by the Speaksx of the

I recur for. a moment lint to repent som e

lots been said about t he military support which
the general government may expect from the
C.iturnonwealth of Pennsylvania, in a proper

`hope - that we shall have - no use , for them—
(loud applause)— that it will never become
their duty to shed blood, and most especially
never to shed fraternal blood. I proMise that,
(in so far as I may have wisdom to direct.) H .
so painfuLa result shall in any wise be brought
about, it shall be through no fault of mine.
(Cheers )
Allusion has also been made; by one of
your honored Speakers, to some remarks
recently made by myself at Pittsburgh,
in regard to .what is supposed to be the espe
cial interest of tbis 'great Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania - . I now wish only to say, in
regard to that matter,' that the".few remarks
Which I uttered on that occasion were rather
carefully worded. I took 1 sins that they
should be so. I have seen no occasion since
to add to them or subtract front them: I leave
them precisely as they stand; (applause) add
log only now that Tarn pleased to have, au ex
pression from you, gentlemen of Pennsylvania,
significant that they are satisfactory to you.
Anti now, gentlemen of the General Assets•
lily of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, al
low me again to return to you my most sM•
core thankfi.
[Mre.Lincoln look his Beni 'ainid rapturous
and prolonged cheering.]
Mr. Pointer, Speaker the Senate, then
arose and delivered an oration, appropriate
to the occasion of raising the flag on the dome
of the Capitol. On the conclusion of the core
roonies',,, the President. was escorted to the
Jones House.
In the morning, Ifisrrisburg was thrown
into a ferment by the report that thir Presi
dent elect, had quietly left 'Harrisburg, for
Waspingtott in the night and was 'by that time
probably safe at the Capitol. This fact gave
rise to the'most absurd rbrifors and induced
the friends of Mr. Lincoln to believe that se
cret intelligenee had been received, that if the
PresHent elect, carried out his progi•atnme,
by leavingllarrisburg, in the special train at
nine o'clotfi in the morning, the train would
either be run off an embankment, blown up
by ,grenades planed beneath the track, or
some way destroyed, between Maryland line
and ILltimore ; or that, Ode failing, Mr. Lin •
coin would be motile I andassnssinated in Bal
timore during his ride frptii. depot to depot.
The fallacy of such imports however was so
evident that Mr. Lincoln's family and friends,
with the exception,of two or threo who act-
Mapanied him, wont by that train.
The'following dispaloh, from the Washing
ton Correspondent of the Baltimore American

personally and to 'his high official position,
there was no guaranty that the proposed pro
cession woulq,, be ,similarly .respected Ile
thought. mereover, that the proceeding would
be calculated to place the people of Baltimore'
in a false position, as neither they nor the
citizens of ,Maryland syinpathized wiTli Mr.
Lincoln's 'political views. He advised, there•
fore, that the idea of a procession bhould be
,abandoned, lest it. might provoke some indig
rdey which would involve the &meet or of Bal

dent elect.-
It appears, however; that,the parties insis•

was advised of tkijacts,- . and urged to pass
immediately - through to Washington.. Acting
upon this suggestion, he proceeded to Phila.

to escape from his pretended friends here, and
thus prevent a breach of the peace that would

Although there Wns gee

that their curiosity could not be gratified by
a sight of Mr.. Lincoln, there was a sense of
relief that the city was saved from the dis•
grace which would hove attached to it if the
President had been met With riotous demon
strations, personal insult, or perhaps injury.
Mr. Lincoln arrived in Washington early on
Saturday morning, and went to Hotel
where he was received by SenAtor Seward,
who was in waiting to receive him. During
the day, he called on the President, in compa•
ny with Mr. Seward, and was introduced to
the Cabinet as they were in session.' After
leaving the ExecutVe Mansion, It'e had an in
