THE NORTHERN pREsIpnNP.

ABRAM LINCOLN has commenced his jour
ney from his home in Springfield to the Fed
eral Capital. We publish his. remarks at
Springfield to those who were presenttowitness
his departure for the theatre of his future
action, and also speech delivered by him on
his arrivalsat the capital of the State of In
diana. In neither of these speeches does he
attempt to foreshadow his future policy, and
the mist which has hung around his purpose
ever since his election, is unremoyed by any
sentiment in either Of. these speeches. This
carefulness of Mr.. Lincoln to avoid any ex-
preston of his determination 4s of itself
ominous. Still water runs deep, and we
greatly fear that this reserve upon the part
of the President elect, is indicative of de-
termination tocarry out the Republican CON
struction of the Constitution, which means
unlimited power in the Federal Government
power to eoerce seeding States and bring
them back as sunMillipg members of the Con-
federaey. 80 :
His remarks at Springfield have about
them fanatical and puritanicai cant, and
are evidently designed to excite the religious
sympathies, not onlysof the spripg feld com
munity. out of the country at large. Pious
old ladies and religious fanatics of every
caste and grade, are thus invited to pray for for
Mr. Iincolnis success in administering the
government upon the hicag plattsorm Mr..
Lincoln is pledged to that platform. He.
must do one of two things BE must de
ceiye those who have elected him. or he must
carry out in their letter and spirit, the OBJ
jectionable features against the rights and
institutions of the South. whichwillhe dog

The AbstraGted Bonds-A Statement from
Ex.GOT. Floyd.


WASHINGTON, Feb. lex Gov. Floyd,
who is now absent in Virginia, has caused
the following publication to be made, address
ed to the public:
ssThe numerous assaults which have been
made upon my character for several weeks
past in the newspapers, and which, from their
source and nature could not be replied to,
have at length eliminated in report from a
committee of the House of Representatives,
submit ID to that body on the 18th instant.
This report is.an er pGrte arrangement OF my
official conduct, upon er Pdrfe testimony TIA
ken In secret in my absence. 1t is a labored
attempt, by inuendo and by mere circurn-
stances. in the absence Of proof, to fix upon
me some underlined completely with robbie
nv of the government, of which / had no
knowledge until about the time it was pub
licly disclosed. Now that these charges have
been put in form, and have emanated from an
authoritative source, [ pledge myself to meet
Them by a full response, so soon as the report
of this committee, with the evidence taken by
it, has been printed and can be examined.
ts Signed JOHN B. T LLOYD"
There is no truth in the Statement of some
newspapers that Dir. Floyd, or his counsel,
has pleaded the act of 1867 IN bar of the
prosecution pending here against him.
In reference to the statement of Senator
Benjamin before the select committee of the
House, that he had informed the President
that Secretary Floyd was issuing acceptances,
it is dne to the President to say that he !:
Immediately thereafter sent for Sir. Floyd /
and inquired by what authority he had issued
them. Mr.. Floyd said there was no law for
or against it, but it had been the practice of
the Department. The President said the prac-
tice was wrong, and instructed him to pay what
he had ISSUED but no more, which Secretary
Floyd promised to do, tic President being
under the impression that only small sum
of money vas involved.
10 The sugar question will be onelof the
lpetple1ing subjects before any representative
body which may undertake the construction
of Federal Government for the Seeding
States, and TO determine the question of free
trade on tariff duties Some of the States
will probably favor free trade, but it is almost
certain that Louisiana will insist ON tariff
for the protection of her sugar interests, and
most probable that Texas will join her In
this demand. " E find that N 1858 the yal=s
ne of imported sugar was over S23 Acc, 600,
the tariff on which would amount to about
$4,000, 600. and to that extent the sugar in
sterestin this country Was protected. As tits.
probable thatthe bulk of this imported sugar
was consumed by States thai have seeded,
the repeal by Congress of the tariff ON sugar
will not materially affect Louisiana, but its5s
sabrogahon by the Cotton States would.

Extra Session Of Congress Called.

Whereas, the laws of the United States have
been for some time past, and now are, opposed,
and the execution thereof obstructed in the States
Of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida,
Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, by combinations
too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary
course Of judicial proceedings, or by the powers
vested in the Marshals by law;
Now, therefore, I, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, Presi-
dent of the United States, in virtue of the power
in me vested by the constitution and laws, have
thought fit TO call forth, and hereby do call forth,
the militia Of the several States of the Union to
the aggregate number of seoenty-ice thousand,
in order to suppress said combinations, and to
cause the laws to be duly executed.
The details for this object will be Immediately
communicated to the State authorities through
the War Department. ] appeal to all loyal citi-
zens to favor, facilitate and aid this effort to main
tain the honor, the integrity and the existence Of
our national Union and the perpetuity of popular
government, and to redress wrongs already long
enough endured.
Ideenn ii proper TO say that the first service as
signed 10 He forces hereby called forth 'otu probG-
bly be 70 repossess ne forts, places and property
which have been seized from The Union; and In
every event the utmost care will be observed, con-
sistenty with the objects aforesaid to avoid any de-
structon Of or interference with, property, or any
disturbance Of peaceful citizens in any part of the
country; and I hereby command the persons COM
posing the combinations aforesaid to dsperse and
retire peaceaby to their respective abodes within
twenty days from this date.
Deeming that the present condition Of public
affairs presents an extraordinary occasion, do
hereby, in virtue Of the power in me vested by the
constitution, convene both Houses Of Congress.
The Senators and Representatives are therefore
summoned to assemble at their respective cham
bers at twelve o'clock, noon, on Thursday the
fourth day Of July next, then and there to consi-
der and determine such measures, as in their wis
dom, the public safety and interest may seem to
demand.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand,
and caused the seal Of the United States to be
affixed.
