The general opinion here IS, that some

Lincoln at present, any further declaration
Iof principles, or an assurance that the South
need fear nothing from bis policy. The

that il would be admitting just cause fol
suspecting his honesty, if be should rc-uttel
at this time any professions Of loyalty to
the Onion, or disavow any design Of in
fringing upon the rights Of the South
1t is RECORDED Us a matter Of course that
he believes what he has said, therefore il
wouldbe superfiaous for bim after his con-
seryatiye record as member Of Congress,
his frequently expressed belief in regard to
the States rights doctrine, and above all has
strictly constitutional elevation to office, to
Iput himself out Of the way TO allay the
Igrounlless fears Of his bitter opponents, at
The risk Of being doomed coward BY his
friends.
That Mr. Lincoln Is a man Of sufficient
ability and nerve to meet any exigency, is
conceded BY al who know him. believe,
from what / see Of him here, that he will
prove a second Jackson--only more so.-
When he thinks proper to make q pro,a2t-

Mr.. Lincoln has been about town all day,
and accessible to all who choose to speak
with him. He has occupied the room Of
the Executive in the Capitol, and has been
freely congratulated BY his fellow towns
men.
Mr. Lincoln spent most Of bis election
night in the Telegraph-oflice vhere ils
heard returns and received priyate despatch
es with a most marvellous equanimjty.-
Those who saw him at the time say itwould
! hay j. been impossible fer a bystander to tell
that the tall, lean, wiry, good-natured, easy
lgoing gentleman, SO anxiously inqurino
about tho success Of the local candidates,
was the choice Of the people tofill the most
important Office in the nation. Even du-
ring election daf and night, Mr.. Lincoln
was about town attending to his business
as usual. Many'of his Springfield acquain-
tanees will long remember how he Sat ii
social circle at the Cheny House, while the
returns were coming in, and INDUCED alike
in pleasant chat and his propensity for sto-
lry-telIiHg.
S. far as the Cabinet is concerned, there
are so many conflicting rumors ahoat, that
u cannot credit any. Mr. Lincoln is not at
ali anxious to gable, and | don't believe
he has told any one his intentions in this
regard. 1t seems to be generally CONCEDED
that Mr.. Seward will be rendered the mis-
sion to the Court Of St. James, and that
Mr.. Bell will be offered the department Of
the Interior, or some other seat in the
Cabinet.

Eoy a number Of his frieads, who carried
him to the Hall Of the House of Represen-
ltativas. where about three hundred citizens
spontaneously collected and earnestly but
Iyainly pressed him for a speech. They
finally cot himin the Speakers chair, and

Orme, Of Bloomington, Farmer, Joab, Wall
kinson and others.
A despatch was received by Mr.. Lincoln

Mr.. Lincoln finally made the following
speech-his first public address since his
election:
q The representation Of Coles and Doug
las COUNTIES is elected on the Republican
side. We expected il would peso-and 50

plause and laughter.
Mr. Lincoln fin7lly, in a jocular way,
took advantage Of his position as Chairman
10 say that it was customary for the pre-
siding officer to call some distinguished
member to the Chair lie accordingly
called Mr. Kent to take his place, and re-
tired through aside door, in spite Of yocif
Ierous calls for him 10 speak.
