Lincoln at Washington.

Mr. Lincoln arrived at Washington

risburg,in the train before day. Some
say because they were going to ASST
nate him in Baltimore. This we be.

Of those black hearted letter writers

Keep up this unnatural excitement 60.
ing on in our country, 1t is a base
lie upon the fair fame Of the Monu'
mental city, that is our opinion. Had
we been in Mr.. Lincoln's shoes, We
wouid, in the language of the British
General, who once said he "would
sup in Baltimore, or in he'll" have
acted just as he did, and if We had
run any risk of tEo latter place, we
would have enedavored TO had some
company. There are causes which
may have produced this lie on citizens
Of Baltimore, perhaps it was done to
gain Mr.. Lincoln sympathy in the
North. Perhaps done to induce him
to take measures against the South by
some ultra SecesSionlsts-we rather
incline to the latter opinion; 1t GER
tainly was wrong in Lincoln to slight
Baltimore after the city going to 80
much trouble aud expense for his re-
ception, aud we'll calculated to give Of.
fsnse TO Baltimore. In fact we don't
know what to think Of the move only
that we would most certainly have
visited Baltimore, and more than
that had We been Lincoln we would
have made q Southern instead of a
Northern tour to Washington, o. else
none at all.

The knife penetrated Mr.. Van Wyck

deadly blow, and but for the copy oil

his assailant down.
At the same moment q escond as-

Van Wyck with a kuife, a blow from
which be received in his left hand
while warbing it of, and at the same

his second assailsnt with his right
hand.
Immediately thereafter Mr.. Van

this moment, was himself knocked

God is wrong In Permitting Il.

Statistical reports show us, that in

near 100000, if we suppose that three
times as many more attend church, it
would give US an average attendance

Reader DO not these facts furnish
us with matter for serious reflection,
when We think for a moment Of these
abolition preachers, stuck up with self.
righteousness. above all humility and
