Lincoln at indianapolis.

LlQCOlu dG 1uO1d1IdpO
We republish the speech of Mr.. Lincoln
at indianapolis, as we find it in the Phila-
delphia papers:
INp1ANApoL1s, February LITTLE ap-
proach of the train bearing the President
elect and his party was announced by
firjug salute of thirty-four guns.
The President elect was received at the
depot by Governor Hunter and escorted
in carriage drawn by four white horses.
A large procession was formed and great
enthusiasm manifested along the line OF
march.
Mr.. Lincoln stood erect in his carriage,
acknowledging the welcome of the sur
rounding thousands. On reaching the
Richard Bates House the procession halted,
and Mr.. Lincoln was escorted to the bal
cony, where he addressed the throng of
people as follows:
lie said he came here to thank them for
the support given by Indiana to the true
and Just cause. Coercion and invasion
are terms much used now with temper
and hot blood Let us not misunderstood
their meaning-nor the meaning of those
who use them.
Let us get their meaning from the men
who dcprecatc the things they would rep
resent by their use. What is the meaning
of these words? Would marching an az
my into South Carolina with hostile in
tent be an invasion? l think it would,
and it would be coercion also, if South
Carolina was forced to submit. But if the
United States should merely hold and re-
take its o,ca forts, collect duties or withh0ld
mails, .leAere haJitually riolated, would any
or all of those things be invasion or coer-
cion? Do professional Union-lovers when
they resolve to resist coercion understand
such things on the part of the United
States to be coercion OF invasion
If they do, their idea of preserving the
Union is exceedingly thin and airy. In
their view, the Union rs family relation
would seem to be no regular marriage,
but Il sort of free-love arrangement, to be
maintained by passional attraction. Now,
in what consists the special sacrcdness of
4 State? l speak not Of the position as
signed to State in the Union by the
Constitution, for by that bond we all re-
cognize that position. However State
cannot carry out that position fla State
and Territory possesses equal rights in a
Territory and its inhabitants, in what, as
matter of principle, is q State better
than a country? Would an exchange OF
names be an exchange of rights, upon
that principle? Upon what rightful prin-
ciplc, by what rightful principle, may a
State, being not more than one-ffticth
part Of a nation in soil and population,
break up nation and then cocrce larger
division of itself? What mysterious right
to play the tyrant is confined i'll Il district
of country, with its people, by merely
calling it Il State?
Mr.. Lincoln, in conclusion, said he was
not asserting anything, but merely asking
questions for them to consider and decide
in their own minds what was right and
what was wrong.

Songs of old Israeli at their Gods behest,
Under the cloud and through the swelling

So passed they, fearless, where the parted wave
With cloyen crest uprearing from the sand

Rolled to the bechOning of Jehovah's hand.
So led he them, in desert marches grand,
By tolls sublime, with test of long delay,

Wherein their heritage OF glory lay.
And Jordon ragged along his rocky bed,
And AmOrite spears flashed keen and fear.

Still the same pathway must their footsteps

God works not otherwise. No mighty birth
But comes by Ihroes of mortal agony;
No man child among nations of the earth
But tindeth baptism in stormy sea.

In the fierce Atlantics unretreatDg wave,-
Who by the Red sea of their glorious blood
Reached to the Freedom that your blood shall

The Clarksburg correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette, under date of August
30, says:
The Southern division of the rebel West
ern Virginia army is supposed to be gradu-
ally pushing its way beyond Summersvile,
in the hope of surrounding" Cox's force
at GauIey, and regainiDg the Kanawha.
Meanwhile the lines OF the two hostile ar
mics at the Oh at Mountain Gaps are gra-
dually approaching, and the pickets are now
almost within gunshot Of each other. OF
course nothing could please Lee better than
to have Wise create q diversion on the
Kanawha that would induce General Rose
cranz to withdraw his forces from the Gaps
and so leave weak. point exposed to the
watchful enemy. General Lee, it is supp
posed, will be hardly gratifed. But it
must be seen that the alarm given in his
correspondence some time ago, as to the
imperative demand for troops here, was not
given day too soon. We may suffer yet,
because the people at home have been and
are too skeptical on so vital point.

NEW SERIES-NO. 4O6
Admins tering the New:Oatb>Sbf Al
legiancc to the Cadets.

On Thursday last the sheriff of Orange
county administered the OATH of allegiance
to the Cadets at West Point. The scene. is
described as follows by writer in the .Ez.
press: issz9vo4 eaI -,
At eleven o'clock, the whole body of
cadets marched from camp and were drawn
up in line in front of the chapel. A tenn
porary desk was placed in front of the altar,
at which gentleman-the sheriff of the:
county, think-stood ready to administer;i
the military oath, which was to test the
loyalty of the academy.
A large bible lay on the desk before him.
and drapery falling from beneath it to the
floor, rendered his position somes6at inf
posing. The cadets came into the chapel
in companies of four. *
Each detachment of cadets, as it came up!
formed crescent around the desk. Then
four firm, ungloysd hands we're laid upN
the Bible, and the oath was read by re
Sheriff in clear solemn voice, that ratk/
imposingly through the twilight of the
chapel. 4 gI'acaT.rp5 Il
The officers of cadets had all taken this
oath, and two or three groups came in from
the ranks, all giving in hearty adhesion to
the United States, when company OF four
came up, three placing their hands on the
Bible. But one-a dark eyed, dark-haired
and heavy featured young man drew back,
and by jesture refused the oath. There
was not one in the chapel, l do believe, who
did not bold breath in suspense. The
Sheriff looked anxious, the officers little
surprised. TO-
Do you wish to affirm? Is it the form
of swearing which you desire changed?
questioned the Sheriff?
81 do not wish to take that oath at all"
was the reply.
The Sheriff bent bis head gravely and the
other young men completed the oath of
fealty. When the party went up to the
officers table to register their names, this
young man, who had faltered so early in bis
path OF honor, was moved aside and passed
forth alone, and the audience breathed with
more freedom after be bad gone.
After this another gent, younger and OF
more generous bearing, stepped back from
the honorable rank of his companions, and
with flushed brow followed the man who
had gone before. These two were all--the
rest took the oath with hearty earnestness.
The names of these two young men were
John g. Singleton and William G. Dunlap,
one from Kentucky, and the other from
Missouri.
Mrs. Gwin was present in one of the
front seats of the chapel, with her two
daughters. She is greatly changed since l
saw her last; looks older and sadder, as if
the publicity given to her name had made
n painful impression on her person. She
has suffered great injustice from the public
journals.

The Sober Second Thought.

The Journal of Commerce, of Wednesday
last, plants itself fairly and squarely upon
the patriotic platform. 1t says:
The day OF parties and party politics is
past. We look around US to day for the
old party lines, but in vain. One grand
interest, absorbing for while all questions
OF minor Importance, has seized on the pub.
lie mind, sweeping away the barriers which
Democrats, Republicans or Americans had
erected around themselves, and the citizens
of the United States, forgetful of the ordi-
nary issues of political campaigns, ask sole
ly this, How shall the Union be sustained
and our Government be restored to its sea-
wide power? We recognize this question
as the only political question of the day.
We are citizens of a noble
government Its name has been first on the
roll of nations. To be an American has
been more than in old days it was to be a
Roman citizen. To have the shadow of
Americanism, to have slept under the prO>
lection of the American Egis, was enough
to entitle man to deliverance from captiv-
ity even by the voice OF American artillery.
That day must come again. The govern.
ment, represented by the President and both
Houses of Congress, undertakes to effect it.
We are in their hands, and whatever we
may think of the original error in this un.
dertaking, we can look nowhere else for
leadership and government. The powers
that be are ordained of God, and the citizen
must recognize their authority.
We propose, therefore, for ourselves, to
support the government as good citizens in
a legitimate and constitutional conduct OF
the war. BY this support we shall not be
understood as promising to approve all the
measures of the Administration, for we are
citizens, and as such, sovereigns in America,
and we shall always exercise the citizens
right to voice, in the proper time and
place, in the management Of public affairs.
But recognizing the war as fact, and the
apparent impossibility Of peace until the
government shall have exhibited to the
world and to the rebellion its undiminished
power, we shall, wherever, we consistently
can do so. join our efforts with those citi-
zens who are now managing the affairs of
the government for the restoration of the
Union. .,s, s,n

A Serious Movement.

Gen. Butler thus describes an anxious
moment during the engagement at HATTIE.
ras:
The embarkation of the wounded, which
was conducted with great care and ten.
derness from temporary wharf, erected
for the purpose, took so long that night
came on S dark that it was impossible for
the pilot to take the Adelaide over the bar,
thereby causing delay. may mention in
this connection, that the Adelaide, in car.
rying in the troops, at the moment when
my terms of capitulaton were under COM
sideration by the enemy, had grounded on
the bar, but by the active and judicious
exertions of Commodore Stellwagen, after
some delay got off. At the same time the Har.
riet Lane, in attempting to enter the bar,
had grounded and remained fast. Both
were under the guns of the fort. This, to
me, was a moment of great anxiety. By
these accidents a large ship of war and
transport steamer, with portion OF nv
troops were within the power of the enemy.
had demanded the strongest terms which
be was considering He might refuse, and
seeing our disadvantage renew the action,
but determined to abate not title of
what believed to be due to the dignity OF
the government, not even to give an official
title to the officer in command of the rebels.
Besides, my tug was in the inlet and at
least l could carry on the engagement with
