Of Customs in the Belfast District takes
strong ground for the maintenance of the
Union. The Belfast Journal criticised his
letter published in the Bangor Union, and
perverted its meaning. Mr.. Dickinson re-
plies with telling effect in letter in the
Progressive Age. He says that recurrence
to the files Of the Journal for the last month
will show that the following contradictory
propositions have been advocated -
list, The constitution recognizes slavery ip
the territories. and the people have no right
to exclude it theretrom.
| ID, The people of territory have right
to establish or prohibit slavery.
Sd, Slavery ought to be protected by the
constitution, IN spite OF the people, south Of
SO deg 10 min
4th, No state has right to secedc, and il
any state Dies seeedc, it is the duty of the
Federal Government to protect its property
and n.orce its laws

seeding state, il that state ressts its author
ity.

that they will stand by their country in its

The THuSpERER REPRIa,ND. Tn
last received London Times gives US il slight
~ mischievous reprlnand i5r our inflated
Boosting in the past. 1t says our people
. have taken credit not only for the great
qualities which are really their own, but for
all that Providence has given them, Bot
in the midst Of this self-laudatian our gov
eminent has begun to fall 10 pieces. The
Times continues
d" A politician Of good sense and feeling
must therefore remember with eaargrin a
great deal of the eloqnence which has been
hitherto fashionable. But nothing ought he
10 regret more than the manner in which he
and his conntryrnen have been accustomed -
speak OF England After pointing out that
England was inferior in size to the single
State Of Virginia, Il speaker would common
ly describe the people of this country as en-
yying the prosperity Of America. plotting 10
arrest her progress, misrepresentng her in
situations, slandering her statesmen, and in
fact doing all which envy is capable Of when
it meets with superior virtue, energy and
success.
How far these assertions have been from
the truth must now be plain to the whole
world. That the Americans believe them we
have no doubt, for the Southern politicians
have VIGOROUSLY been counting on the hos
tility of En-. land to the Union. They
thought that secession would be received
with delight by the English people, and as
sisted with every MachiavelllAn art by our
aristocra,ica Government. The event has
been a surprise even to the most enlightened
Americans, t. those who knew England best,
and believed least in our antlpathy 70 their
country. Not only has the English press
shown no joy at secession, given no encour-
agement to the South, and turned away from
the bait Of free trade, but it has, as far rs
lay in It's power, strengthened the Federal
Government, by earnest expressions OF sym
pathy and by advice which perhaps, will
not be wholly without effect. The violence
of the Southern leaders, the treason of a sec.
ton of the Presidents Cabinet, and the
weakness of Mr.. Buchanan himself were
viewed by English society with a disapproba-
ton which has influenced American opinion;
/ and If more rigorous measures for the saliva
ton Of the Republic be taken. it will proha-
bly, be in some measure due II the fact that
Englsbnen have openly expressed their as.
tonishln5ut at the doctrine that the United
States constitute, not q nation pat part
nership of communities united only for con-
yenience and during pleasure, But 10 The
verdict of the public Is now added the formal
Judgment Of the Government aud the Legs
lature.

The Rumored Plot to Assas-
Sinato Lincoln.


New York Times Of Saturday has the follow
ing detailed dispatch from its correspondent
attached to the travelling party ofshe Pres
ident elect
HARRISBURG, Feb 23-S A. NJ. Abra-
ham Lincoln, the President elect of the Uni
ted States, is safe in the capital of the ma
ton. BY the admirable arrangement OF
Gen. Scott, the country has been spared the
lasting disgrace, which would have been fast
ened lndelibly upon it had Mr. Lincoln been
murdered upon his journey thither, as he
would have been had he followed the pro-
gramme as announced in the papers, and
gone by the Northern Central Railroad to
Blltim re.
On Thursday night, after he had retired,
Mr.. Lincoln was aroused and informed that
stranger desired to see him { n matter of
lie or death. lie declined to admit him I'M
les he gave bis name, which he at once did .
Such prestige did the name carry that
WHINE Mr.. Lincoln was yet dsrobed be gran
ted an interview to the caller
prolonged conversation elected the fact
that an organized body Of men had dcterm-
incd that Mr. Lincoln should not be inau.u-
rated, aud that he should never leave the city
of Baltimore alive, if indeed he ever entered
it.
The list Of the names Of the conspirators
,ented Il most astonishing array OF persons
high IN southern confidence, and some whose
iainc is not TO this country alone
Statesmen laid the plan, bankers endorsed
II, and adventnrers were to carry it into eli
feet. As they understood that Mr.. Lincoln
was to leave Harrisburg at . O'Clock this
morning by special train, and the idea was,
II possible, to throw the cars from the road
at some point where they could rush down "A
steep emtankment and destroy in moment
the lives of all on board. In case of the fail.
ure OF this project, their plan was to surround
the carriage on the way from depot to depot
In Baltimore and asSassinate him with dag
ger or pistol shot.
So authentic was the source from which
the inormatit n was obtained, that Mr. Lin
coin, after counselling with his friends, was
compelled to make arrangements which
would enable him to subvert the plans OF his
enemies.
Greatly to the annoyance Of the thousands
who desired to call on him last night, he de-
clined giving reception. The final council
was ID at s clock.
Mr.. Lincoln did not want - Yield, and
Colonel Sumner actually cried with Indlgna-
ton; but Mrs. Lincoln, seconded by Mr.
Judd and Mr. Lincaln's original informant,
insisted upon it. and at clock Mr.. Lin
coin left on a special train. lie wore i

cloak, 50 that he WAS entirely unrccogni1s-
