MIR. Lfucoluss Journey


The journey Of the President-c1ect from Ne
York to this city covers his brief visit to tt
State Capital Of New Jersey and the great OF
ton Of the Philadelphiana, together with nun
bez1css little Incidents that have constitute
features Of his reception By the people Of Il
sections he has trayersed. One thing shon1
be noted "a most clear and distinct !: the fin
Union tone Of these communities, and the
expressed determination to stand by the Coz
etitution at all hazards. The first question #
/ which an answer is sought seems to be, Has th
incoming Chief Magistrate backbone and gri
and will he stand fast? Every indication tha
he will do so is hailed with vast enthusiasm
Thus one ct the most exciting sccnes Of th
trip on Thursday, was when in the New Je,

the block, one vigorous shake of the balyarda
by Mr. Lincoln, loosened the folds and they
spread g1oriously out in the bright sunlight OF
the morning amid great shout Of freemen.
At many Of the brief stops, where large
crowds had been gathered, cheers have Teen
given for "no concession, no compromised ~
It has been blasoned on flags and banners, and
borne Aoit in the throng. 5fen have pressed
through the throng at the rear Of the car, to
say, "2od bless you, Mr. Lincoln stand firm,
anG don't compromise"
Philadelphia did herself honor in the glo-
rlous reception she give Mr. Lincoln. The
crowd was immense; and the zeal displayed
something remarkable, and the same tone as
above referred to Was widely apparent in the
remarks Of the crowd, in the cheers they gave
for the Constitution, the Union and "uo com
promise" The run from Philadelphia to Har-
rlsburg WAS mnde in excellent style, The
