privacy Of his sleeping apartment, and
At once made up Eis mind that something
was "going wrong" and that there. vas
possibility that something might "hurt
somebody" and consequently made
haste to adopt the cabalistic motto,
"sdlue tdrdum." In this he may have
or may not have acted wisely. Our be-
hef 10 that the report that MIR. Liucoln'a
life would have been jeopardised at Bal
timore was great scare" The mat

There may be persons iu Baltimore "a

LANSING, Feb. 10.
A scheme for the secession of the
Upper Peninsula Of this State, and it,
annexation to Canada, has been exposed
in private circles here. The project
seems to be'in considerable state OF or
ganization, and those concerned in it are
said to possess confidence in its success.
English capitalists interested in Lake
Superior mines and Canada railroads
are supposed to be at the bottom of it.
A gentleman from that region 10 sure

not anticipate its success, but the dew.

Upton RArLsOAD.-Tbe people Of
Upton have, at last, hit upon : feasible
and, we hope, efficient plan to raise
money for the construction Of the Tip

purpose the swamp lands belonging 10
the county. A petition is already in
circulation asking the County Superb.

impoverish the county it would secure
the construction Of the road and thereby
greatly enhance the value Of property ia

TENNESSEE SrArB CONTENTION
This Convention meets 1t Nashville,
Tenn, to day. A large majority Of the
members composing the Convention are
for the Union-not Internationally, by
any means, but for the perpetuity ofthe
United States Government upon a CON-
promise basis. There is not much room
for doubt as to the direction matters
will take. 1t is probable that no step OF
. decisive character will be taken until
after the delivery Of Mr.. Lincoln's lnau-
gural on Monday next. Tennessee loves
the Union.
