Police force was all out and fully equipped, and all 
good citizens were anxious that no indignity should 
have been manifested. The apprehension enter- 
tained, was that certain disreputable parties who 
lately attached themselves to the Republican organi¬ 
zation here, and who were expected to make a dem¬ 
onstration, would have caused bud feeling in the 
minds of some and partially caused'a disturbance. 
Otherwise there was no reason to apprehend any¬

, About ten o clock, Mr. Lincoln, accompanied by 
Mr. Reward, paid his respects to President Buchanan. 
After un interview between the President and Mr. 
Lincoln, the former introduced the latter to the mem¬ 
bers of the Cabinet who wore then in session. Mr. 
Lincoln, in company with Mr. Seward, subsequently 
paid his respects to Lieut Gen. Scott. Mrs. Lincoln 
and family, and sister, arrived in the afternoon train. 
At 4 r. M. a delegation, without respect of party, 
headed by Senator Douglas, called on Mr. Lincoln 
and paid him their respect's. The meeting was less 
formal, perhaps, than would he the case with any 
other gentlemen, from the fact that they were all 
friends and acquaintances before. The interview 
between Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Douglas was peculiarly 
pleasant. 
Mr. l'uleston, Secretary of the reace Congress, 
presented a communication to Mr. Lincoln, announ¬ 
cing that the members of CongrcsH were anxious to 
pay their respects to Mr. Lincoln. At 7 o’clock Mr. 
Lincoln left his hotel and proceeded in a carriage to 
the residence of Mr, Seward, with whom he dined. 
At 9 o’clock Mr. Lincoln received the Peace Con¬ 
gress. Gov. Chase, of Ohio, introduced Mr. Tyler. 
Mr- Lincoln received him with all the respect due his 
position. The several delegates were then intro¬ 
duced to Mr. Lincoln by Gov. Chase in the usual 
manner. 
Nothing decisive has occurred in the Peace Con¬

Gen. Scott stated, on the 21st, that he had intelli-

[The telegraph on Saturday night brought Hie fol¬ 
lowing startling intelligence. We cannot believe 
that partisanship could thus transform men into 
demons, and though we incline to the idea that the 
sanguinary portions of the dispatch are void of truth 
we give it as a matter of news.] 
’ 0nTklirsd ^' after Mr. Lincoln had retired at 
amsburg, Pa., he was aroused, and informed that a 
stranger desired to see him on a matter of life and 
death. Ho declined to admit him unless he gave his 
name, which he at once did. Such prestige did the 
name carry that while Lincoln was yet disrobed he 
granted an interview to the caller. A prolonged 
conversation elicited the fact that an organized body 
of men had determined that Lincoln should never be 
inaugurated, or leave the city of Baltimore alive if 
indeed he ever entered it. The list of names of the 
conspirators presented a most astonishing array of 
persons high m Southern confidence, and some 
whose fame is not confined to this country alone. 
Statesmen laid the plan, Bankers endorsed it, and 
i adventurers were to carry it into effect. * As they 
understood, Lincoln was to leave Harrisbnrgh at (J 
o dock this A. M. by special train, and the idea was, 
if possible, to throw the cars from the road at some 
point where they could rush down a steep embank¬ 
ment and destroy in a moment the lives of all on 1 
board. In case of a failure of this project, their plan 
was to surround the carnage on the way to the depot ! 
at Baltimore and assassinate him with dagger or pis- ’ 
tol shot. So authentic was the source from which 
the information was obtained, that Mr. Lincoln, after 1 
counselling with his friends, was compelled to make a 
arrangement* which Would enable him to subvert the 
plans ol his enemies. Greatly to the annoyance of n 
the thousands who desired to call on him last night, 
he dee med to give a reception. The final council w 
was hehl ays oViock. Mr. Lincoln did not want to ai 
yield and Col. Sumner actually cried with indigna- it 
Don, but Mrs. Lincoln, seconded by Mr. Judd and sc 
a+ *oLincoln s original informant, insisted upon it. 9( 
At . o clock Mr. Lincoln left on a special train. He 
wore a Scotch plaid cap and a very long military w 
toat, [so that he was entirely unrecognizable. aI 0 f 
complied by Superintendent Lewis and one friend, ve 
he started, while all the town, except Mrs. Lincoln, th 
CoL Sunmer, Mr. Judd, and two reporters, who were , r 
Mt om to secrecy, supposed him to be asleep. The L 
telegraph wires were put beyond the reach of any *>s 
one who might desire to use them.
