Will Mr.. Lincoln be ugurated
at wash inztOns

Some Of the Republican press are sug-
Resting that if the Southern rebels take
possession Of the Federal Cspitsl before.
or on the 4lh day Of March. thereby pre-
venting ,hs inauguration Of Mr. Trxnnrx
President Of the United States, the oath OF
office can be administered to him at some
ether than the city of Washington.
To this We have but to say, if ABRAHAM
LINCOLN has not the courage. under the
circumstances, or any that may occur, to
20 to Washington, and in accordance with
the usages Of the Government be inaugur-
sted President. we will have TO say he has
not enough iron in his composition, to
make him a leader fer The times. II the
Federal Capital. however, falls into the
hand. of the traitors before the 4th day OF
March, it may then become the part Of
brave man TO take upon himself the du-
ties of Office Ut another place. But if the
city of Washington, remains in the hands
Of patriots mp to The morning Of the 4th OF
March. then Mr.. LINCOLN must BE- insugur-
ated from the east porch oil The capitol.
though ten thousand lives have To be sac
riiesd to effect it. i; we're better, that the
President elect. himself. become a sacrifice,
and q pyramid of patriots as high as the
dome Of the Capitol should fall over bin.
than he should abandon the right to b.
ipaugurated at wsshia ton. Abandon
:his right and the Government at once be-
comes despotism and the Federal Consti
tution will be trampled under foot. Aban
don this and Mr. LINCOLN can never assem-
BILE Federal Gongress-ean never put in
operation the Federal Government.
By everything we hold dearly all our
interests now and our hopes for the future
by everything that is worth living for or
worth dying for. let US see to il, that ABsA
sAx LIScoLs is insugura,et. in the city Of
Washington, in accordance with the usual
customs on such oces ions: on the b day
OF March, 1861, President Of the United
States Of America.

Cederate Government consider it their right

Of that State in repelling invasion, and of re-
covering the means and opportunity Of ex,

their rights and liberties.
The President is authorized to operate

ment, with the authorities of Missouri in de-
Tending that State against lawless invasion By

Traitors in Porkopolis.

The Cincinnati Press has the following
somewhat remarkable editorial for that lat
itude:
There are in this city quite number O.
people who are very glad over the disaster
at Manassas on Sunday last. There are
Northernmhen-men born and bred in the
North, and who have never lived South CT
the Ohio,-who are chuckling, laughing in
their struyes; and With each other, at that
catastrophe; who want to make the number
of killed end wounded as large as possible;
are irritated at being told that it is less than
was represented, and discontented when they
hear that the army is notutterly disorganized
and disbanded
1t is difficult to conceive the kind Of char.
acter lhatin such state Of mind can exist but
Of the fact there is no question. We have
thoseamong us who really hope that the ar
my of the Union will be utterly destroyed
by that Of the Confederacy, and that the
fate Of the country will fall into the hands of
the leaders OF the rebellion; who want to see
Southern army this side Of the Ohio, and
have not parted with their expectations to
witness such an event.
The affair at Manassas brought out this
class of men. Ii was too good, and they
could not conceal their qualification. Their
expectations, nearly dead, revived again, and
they crcpt out Of their holes to warm them
selves in the spcck of Southern sunshine, and
dream of the jeff. Davis millennium.
