Plot to ASSaSSinate the President Elect

WAsINGToN Feb. %.
Dr.. Loring, of Mass, has declined the
Sandman mission.
Mr.. Hamlin visited the Senate and re-
ceived cordial greeting.
A special dispatch to the Times say that
on Thursday night, after Mr.. Lincoln retir-
ed, be was aroused and informed that a
stranger desired to see him on matter
of life or death. He declined to admit
him unless he gave his name, which he did
at once. Such prestige did the name car
ry that while Mr.. L. was yet disrobed, he
granted an interview to the caller. A pro-
longed conversation elected the fact that
an organized body of men had determined
that Mr.. L. should not be inaugurated, and
that he should never leave the city of Bal
timore alive if indeed he ever entered it.
The list of the names of the conspira-
tors presented most astonishing array of
of persons high in Southern confidence and
some whose names are not TO this country
alone. Statesman laid the plan, bankers
endorsed it, and adventures were to carry
it into effect; As they understood Mr.. Lin
coin was to leave Harrisburgh at nine o.
clock this morning by special train, and
the ideas was, if possible TO throw the
train from the road at some point where
they could rush down steep embankment
and destroy in moment all the lives on
board. In case of failure in this project,
their plan was TO surround the carriage, on
their way from depot 20 depot in Balti-
more, and assassinate him with dagger or
pistol.
So authentic was the source through
which the information was tobalned, that
Mr.. L. after counseIling with his friends,
was compelled TO make arrangements that
would make him subvert the plans of his
enimies.
Greatly to the annoyance of those who
desired 10 call on him last night, be declin-
ed to give a reception.
The final council was held in eight o.
clock Mr. Lincoln did not want to yield,
and Col. Sumner actually cried with indig-
nation, but Mrs. Lincoln, seconded by Mr..
Judd and Mr.. Lincoln's original iniorma-
ton, insisted upon it, and at nine O'Clock
Mr.. L. left on special train.
He wore a Scotch plaid and very long
military cloak, so that he was entiIely un-
recognizable. Accompanied by Supt. Lew
is and one friend he started, while all the
town with the exception of Mrs. Lincoln,
Col. Sumner, Mr.. Judd and two reporters,
who were sworn to secresy, supposed him to
be asleep.
The telegraph wires were put beyond
the reach of any one who might desire to
use them.

PHILADELPHIA Feb. 24

No community could manifest more aux
iety regarding the late movements of MIR
Lincoln than Phladelaphia. Its like ha:
seldom been experienced here. Extras
were in unparalleled demand. To-day the
subject has been the chief topic of conver-
sation, and statements made BY prominent
members of the Republican party justify
the belief that fears on the part of his
friends of an attempt at assassination on
the train or possession at Baltimore, was
the real cause of his fight. 1t was discus
sed among the prominent members of bis
suite in this city, and measures were taken
TO guard agains. such calamity.
The names of Gen. Scott, and Gov.
Hicks of Maryland, and prominently men,
toned as among those who gave the warn
ing, and Messrs. Judd and Davis as those
who acted on it.
1t is possible that statement to the
public will be published by friends, to justi-
fy their course, and to remove from Mr..
Lincoln the charge of uuwarranted appre-
hension.
The recent speech of Mr.. Lincoln at In
dependence Hall, embodying sentiments
which have been construed into an admis-
sion of negro equality, is supposed to have
more particularly tended to inflame the
Southern mind, and it is said to have cre-
ated an unusual excitement at Baltimore
and throughout the South.

Using the Name of God In the
C0uStisEsiOn.

The New Orleans True Della, speaking
of the Southern Constitution, says:
This allusion to the Constitution reminds
us of an improvement made By the South
ern Congress introducing the name of God
in IFS preamble. Strangely enough this
duty was omitted in the original conven-
ton, although DR.. Franklin called for
prayer with much warmth. When Alex
ander Hamilton returned 10 New York
after the adjournment of the convention, a
distinguished clergyman of that city said !;
"Mr. Hamilton, am much pleased With
the new constitution, but regret that you
have omitted to name God in any part Of
it," "Upon my word" rejoined Mr.. Ham
Ilton, ''we forgot it,

WASHINGTON Feb. 2S


Indefinite rumors are af1oat concerning
war-like dispatches said to have been re-
ceived by the Government from the South.
These cause much excitement and many in
quries, but they cannot be traced TO any
reliable source. There certainly has been
no Cabinet meeting to-day, to consider
such dispatches as circulated in connection
with other reports.
Mr.. Lincolns rapid passage through
Baltimore has been condemned here by
some who do not know the facts, which
are these: A set of INSCRIPTIONS political
knaves in Baltimore, who had determined
TO turn MIR. Lincoln's visit there TO their
own account, arranged for procession from
the depot to his hotel.
Projection was asked these rowdies of
Marshal Kane, who protested against such
proceeding. He said Mr.. Lincoln would
be treated with all respect due him person
ally and his official positions, but so OBJ
noxious were the parties proposing the
demonstration that he could net ensure the
same:respect to them. If they were de-
termined to brave it, it might result in
some indiguity being offered which would
be notifying to the President elect, and
disgraceful 10 the city of Baltimore.
Finding that these men were fixed in
their purpose to make Mr.. L s visit sub
serve their purposes, the latter was adsis-
ed by telegraph 10 pass on to Washington
without stopping which he did.
This advice came from gentleman who
had the good name of Baltimore at heart.
THESE advices from Baltimore had been an
ticipated by special messenger sent
thence to meet Mr.. Lincoln at Phladel-
phia, with dispatches from Gen. Scott and
the War Department, urging him to come
through Baltimore unexpectedly, as they
had specific information of hostile purpo-
ses against him there, in Ielatiou to which
they could not be mistaken. This infor-
nation was obtained through official secret
agents.
Mr.. Lincoln diped privately yesterday
with Senator Seward and Mr.. Hamlin, and
attended ST. Johns church to-day in COM
pany with the former, with whom his rela-
lions evidently continue 10 De OF the most
cordial nature.
Mr.. Lincoln remains at his hotel quar-
ters and will not 60 to his private house,
as anticipated. He received several visi-
tors to-day. The hotel halls are crowded
with spectators anxious TO get sight of
him. He told his friends to let all come
that would as he would be glad to see and
welcome all.
He was public property now and would
go for as possible ignore personal ease, as
bis duties would soon preclude the posi-
bIlity OF general reception of friends.
Senator Criltenden and Hon. C. F.
Adams called on him to-day. The inter
view between Senator Crittendeu and Mr..
Lincoln was very agreeable one. Mr..
Crittenden expressed himself afterward
much pleased with him and has strong
homes that he will save the country

at 5. O'Clock P. N. and was warmly greet
ed.
At4. O'Clock the Illinois delegation with
ort respect of party, headed by Senator
Douglas, called on Mr.. Lincoln and paid
their respects. The meeting was less for
NAL, perhaps, than would be at the case
at an interview with any other delegation
from the fact that they were all friends
and acquaintainces before. The inter
view between Mr.. Lincoln and Mr.. Douglas
was peculiarly pleasant.
Among the callers on Mr.. Lincoln this
afternoon were the venerable Frank Blair
and his son Montgomery Blair.
At 8. o'clock DIR. Pulsto, Secretary OF
the Peace Congress presented communi-
cation to Mr.. Lincoln announcing that the

buested the latter to name the time when
