it their earliest attention.
According to my political education /
am enclined to believe that the people In
the various sections Of the country shoald
huTe their own views carried out through
their representatives In Congress. And If
the consideration of the tariff bill should
De postponed until the next session of
the National Legislature, no subject should
engage your representatives more closely
than that of tariff. And If have any
Recommendation to make it will be that
every man who Is called upon to serve
the people in representative capacity
should study this whole subject thorough.

Permit me to express the hope that this
important subject may receive such con-
sIdcrhtion ut the hands of your represent
tatives that the interests of no part of The
country may he overlooked, but that nil
sections may share just aud equitable

| CLEyGLA%Dr Feb. l5.-The Lincoln bar-
| ~ left Pittsburgh in a smart shower of
rain this morning, amid the enthusiastic
plnudits OF great numbers who lived along
the track, for long distance.
At Alliance an elegant dinner was given
BY Mr.. Mccullough, President of the Road
A salute was fred, smashing the windows,
/ including the one at which Mrs. Lincoln
was dining.
The train also stopped Mt Ravenua and
Hudson for few moments, which places
were nlive With people. There was much
enthusiasm. The entire party are under
obligations to the President of tho Road
Conductor Russell, Ticket Superintendent
+. IL. Myers, in fact, all connected with
the road, for Kindness and attention. Tie
| train arrived at Cleveland ut APO. amid
roars OF artillery. The arrangements
were admirable. The military, fremen
aud traders made a fine display. amid the
| wildestcnthusiasm. Thcprocession moved
through the principal streets to the We'd
dell House; ]. U. Masters, ucting Mayor,
welcomed the President. Judge Andrews
did the same on behalf of the Citizens
Committee. Mr.. Lincoln responded briefly
as follows:
Nr. Chairman aud Esllop CTtLzens of
Cteret0nd-we have been marching about
two miles through snow, ruin and deep
mud. The large numbers that have turn
ca out under these circumstances, testify
you are in earnest about something or
other. But did think SO mennly of you
ns to suppose that earuestness is about me
personally, should be doing you iuius-
ttce to suppose you did. YOU have as
seInbled to testify your respect to the
Union. the Constitution and the laws
And here let me say that it is with you,
the people, to advance the great cause of
the Union and the Constitution, and not
with any Que man. 1t rests with Won
alone. This fact is strongly impressed on
my mind at present. In a community
ike this, whose appearance testify to their
intelligence, / am convinced that the
cause of liberty and the Union caa ne Ter
be in danger.
In alluding to the crisis Mr. Lincoln re,
Peated about the same remarks MS at other
places, and heretofore published. Ii con.
GLIDING he said he had been advised that
this reception WAS rendered not only by his
own party supporters but by men of all
parties. This is as it should be. IfJudge
Douglas had been elected and had been
here on his way to Washington as ] am
tonight, tile Republicans should have
ljOined his supporters in welcoming linn
just as his friends hive Joined with mine
to night. If al don't Join now to save
the good old ship of Union this voyage.
nobody will have chance to pilot her
another voyage.
!, An immense cheer for Lincoln and
Union was sent up by the crowd and the
1tSSSPttOH nU9 OhEE' luls evening Mr.
Lincoln held lcvee and thousands at
TENDED. He will leave at 8 o'clock in the
morning for Buffalo.
j The Associated Press reporter has au.
thority for stating that any party demon.
stration, such as Wide Awakes or other
wise, would be disasreeable to Mr.. Lincoln,
either as receptions or escort.
