The train bearing Mr.. Lincoln to Cincinna-

hoped that the people friendly wished their
neighbors the Kentuckians across the river
Upon the arrival of the train at Cincinnati ii,
the street was SO blocked up with people
that The locomotives had to be stopped
dispatch saws:
The crowd was so great it was impossible to
get out OF the way at the depot, and it was
found necessary to bring the mill tary and DO
ice nee force into requisition TO clear it away
| The streets through which the procession
passed We're crowded at an early hour and
the windows filled with ladies' The Burnet
House, where the Presidential party stop,
was handsomely decorated, and every ar
rangement made for the comfort of the dis
| unguished guests. The stars and stripes were
flying from all the public and a number of
| private buildings.
On the arrival of the train Mayor Rishon
| introduced and welcomed the President elect
| who took seat in a barouche drawn by six
| Whlte horses amid the deafening cheers of "a
! vast concourse OF people. The procession. in

enins cheers-Mentos band playing ''IIail
Columbia" and Star Spangled Banner"
Alter Il lew moments rest, Mr.. Lincoln
| ulite his appearance on the balcony, accom-
panied by Mayor Bishop, who made {, short
| introductory address. Mr.. Lincoln then
| spoke. He said
| Il have spoken but once before this In Gin
| cihhatl Ihat was year previous to the late
| President tai election. On that OCCASION in a
| playful manner but with since.e words l
addressed much OF what 1 said to the Ken
tucklans. gave ny opinion that we, Us Re
| pubiicans, would ultimately beat them as
Democrats, but that they could pos tpone that
| result longer by nominating Senator Douglas
| for the Presidency than they could in any
other way they did not i'll any true sense of the
WORD nominate Mr.. Douglas, and the result
mas come certainly as soon as ever expec ted
l also told them how l expected they would
be treated after they should have been beaten;
ana now wish to call tn br attention to what
L tllen Sald upon that sui lect. l then said -
| Nv hen we do as we saNt beat you. YOU per-
| maps want TO know wha we will do with You
L VIII tell you, far 4 am authorized to
speak for the oppositioil what we mean to do
| with you. We mean to treat you as near as
we possibly can, as WASHINGTON, Jefi'erson and
| Madison treated you. We mean to leave you
alone, and Ill no way TO interfere with your
Institutions to abide by all and every COM
promise OF the Constitution and in q word,
| coming back to the original proposition to
| treat you so Tar as degenerate men, if we have
| degenefated, may, according to the example of
| those noble fathers, Washington, Jefferson
ana Madlson. We mean to remember that you
| re as good as we that there is no difference
| between us other than the difference of cir
| Gums tances. We mean to recognize and bear
In mind always that you have as good hearts
| IN your bosoms as other people, we claim
10 nave, and treat you ac ordinglY'
| "Fellow citiZ ms of Kentucky. friends ,-bre-
| thren may call you in my new position-I seq
no occasion, and feel no inclina tion to retract
a word OF this. If it shall not be made good,
| be assured the fault shall not be mine
| The remarks were received with great en-
| thusiasm In passing to his room, these thai
| could, rushed at him, throwing their arms
around him, patting him on the back, and al
| most WrenchinS his arms Off Politicians
were thick; among them George N Sanders
! and others.
This evening, in the grand hall of the Burnet
| House, which has been decorated for the occa-
| sion, Mr.. Lincoln will receive the people gen
| orally He looks well and in good spirits.
| Mr.. Lincoln arrived at Columbus Ohio,
wednesday, and was received with national
| salute. He visited Governor Dennison in the
Executive Chamber, and was subsequently,
| introduced to the members of the Legislature
IN JOINT session, where he was formally wei
| coined by the Lieutenant Governor, to which
Mr- Lincoln responded as follows:
1t is true, as has been said by the President
| OF the Senate, that very great responsibility
rests upon me i'll the position to which the
votes of the American people have called me
L am deeply sensible of that weghty respon-
| slbilty. L cannot but know, what you all
KNOW, that Witholt IL nllne-perhaps with
| ont reason why ! should have q name there
| has fallen upon me a task such as did not rest
| upon the Father of his Country. And feel
| ing csnnot but turn and look for the sup
| port without which it will be impossible for
me to perform that great task. L turn, then,
| and look 10 the American people and to that
| God who has never forsaken them
| Allusion has been made to the interest felt
| in relation to the policy of the new Admins
| tration. In this have received from some q
degree OF credit for having kept silence, from
others, some depreciation. l still think was
| right III the varying and repeatedly shifting
| scenes of the present without a precedent
which could enable me to Judge OF the past
| 1t has seemed fitting that before speaking
| upon the difficulties of the country, L should
have gained a view of the whole field. To be
| sure, after all, would be at liberty to modify
and change the course of policy as future
events might make change necessary.
| L have not maintained silence from any
| want of real anxiety. 1t is a good thing that
| there Is no more than anxiety, for there is
| nothing going wrong. Ii is consoling cir
| cumstance that when we look out there is
nothing that really hurts anybody We EN-
| tertain different views upon political uues-
tons, but nobody is suffering any thing. This
| Is most consoling circums tance, and from
it, judge that all We want is time and pa
| tienee, and II reliance on that God who has
never forsaken this people.
| THE Trust FUND FINANcIERIye.-
! Buchanan is stated to be very uneasy in refer
ence TO an attempt to nnplicate him in any
| knowledge or completely with the Indian Bond
| swindle. The CoEtederacy of Wednesday even
| ing, which is now regarded as the organ of the
| Administration, says:
We are credibly informed that as soon as
| the President heard of Mr. Floyd's course in
| this matter he sent for him, and made inqui-
| rles about the acceptances. When Mr.. FLOYD
| informed the President what he had done, the
| latter asked him if there was any law to JUS
| lied hal bar
| was no law for against the course he had
| pursued the President then said if there was
| no law for it he had done wrong, and told him
| that 1t was desired that no more acceptances
| should be given, and that those already given
| should at once be paid Floyd promised that
! he would accept no more drafts, and the drafts
| already accepted We're only for goods that had
! actually been sent to their proper places of
| destination. Mr.. Buchanan after his inter-
| view with Gov Floyd, knew nothing of the
matter until it was made public by the expo
! sure of the stolen bonds, and Gov. Floyd's
connection with RUSSELL Majors & Co.'S ac-
! ceptances."
