II seems 10 be tbe prevalent notion that re-
lief from present troable will be somewhat in
proporiion 20 the geuerL fOes about settle

h;,ious for some sort Of a compromise, or con.
cession, or surrender, or grave convocation and
deIiberation 10 bring about the desired good
Some are so cntbusiastice in the work-good
republicans too--ihat they appear to be fast
losing their balance, and unless they can be in
duccd to unbend their effort, aud ease the ten

fear for the conseq uences to their mental sound

whose behalf all this solicitRde is felt, are main
taining with becoming proprie'y their dignity
and selrrespect, and in the pNost effective and
mauly way administering rebuke TO treason
which is doubly .rcfrcshing from a comparison
with the consequential, but mortlying fussiucs

bany at 6 a. m. Monday, spending the night, ant
arriving 10 n. York 3 p m. Tuesday.
Though nothing is said Of stopping at an,
point between Cleveland and Buffalo, it may b
reasonably expected, we think, that the trai

proposed to get out the baby-waker and tn

ing about two hours for the distance betweei
Cleveland and this place, the reader will be ab
to estimate the probable time of arrival Of tn
train at our depot.
Special trains preceded by pilot engines hav
been provided throughout. None but holder
of cards Of invitation will be admitted on tn
train. State and local authorities, promineu
persons without distinction Of party, and repre-
sentatives Of leading papers will be invited
The local committees will have charge of th
Presidential party at the stopping place;
Demonstrations of party character will b
declined. Military escorts through the stoppin
places will be accepted, but none on the journey
The Buffalo papers say that precautions sim
lar to those made when the Prince Of Vale
was travelling here viii be taken on the N or
Central Railroad. A pilot engine will be ru
ahead Of the special train, and when the pile
has passed station all switches viii be spike
and guarded until the Presidents ear has pas
ell.
