turned Mr.. Lincoln's call at p. m, and was
warmly greeted.
At 4 O'Clock the Illinois delegation, head
ed by Senator Douglas, called upon Mr. Lin
coin, and paid their respects The meeting
was less formal perhaps than would be the
case at an interview with any other delcga-
ton, from the fact that they were all friends
and acquaintance before. The interview
between Mr.. Lincoln and Mr.. Douglas was
peculiarly pleasing.
Among the callers of Mr.. Lincoln this p.
M. were the venerable Frank Blair and his
son Montgomery Blair. At 6 o'clock DR..
Puclesto, Secretary Of the peace Congress,
presented committee to Mr. Lincoln an
nouncing that the members of the Congress
were anxious to pay their respects to Mr..
Lincoln. He requested the latter to name
the time when he would receive them. Mr..
Lincoln replied he would be happy to re.
ceive them at 9 o'clock.
At z o'clock Mr.. Lincoln left his hotel
and proceeded to the residence OF Mr. Seward
with whom he dined
At o'clock Mr.. Lincoln received the

him with all the respect lie his position.
Several delegates were then presented tc

who acted on it. 1t is probable that state
ment to the public will be published by
friends to justify their course, and to re-
move from Mr.. Lincoln the charge of I'M
warranted apprehension.
The recent speech of Mr.. Lincoln at indie.

have been construed into an admission of
negro equality, is supposed to have more
particularly tended to influence the South
