Lewis and one friend he started, while all the town,
with the exception of Mr. Lincoln, Col. Sumner, Mr.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 81, 1861.
No community could manifest more anxiety regard
ing the late movements Of Mr.. Lincoln than Philadel
phians. Its like has seldom been experienced here
even on the most exciting occasion. The newspaper
offices during yesterday were throngcd with anxious
inquirers.
Extras were in unparalleled demand.
To-day this subject his been the chief tops Of
versaon, and statements made by prominent n,eabers
Of the Republican party justify the belief that fears
on the part Of his friends Of attempt at NINA
ton on the train or procession at Baltimore, the
real, sole cause Of bis fight.
1t was discussed among the prominent members Of
his suite when in this city, and measures were taken to
guard against such a calamity.
The names of Gen. Scott, and Gov. Hicks Of Mary
land are prominently mentioned as among those who
gave the warning and Messs Judd and Davis az those
who acted on it. 1t is possible that statement to the
public will be published by friends to justify their
course and 10 remove from Mr. Lincoln the charge OF
unwonted apprehension and cowardice.
The recent speech of Mr. Lincoln at Independence
Hail. embodying the sentiments which have been con-
strued into an admission Of negro equality is supposed
to have particularly tended 20 iname the South
en mind and is said to have created an unusual ex-
element at Baltimore and throughout the South.
