The Pr esidential Train at York
asad Baltimore.
BALTIMORE, Feb. %.

BALTIMORE, rep. 70.
A very largo crowd greeted the arrival of
the train bringing the President elect and
party at YORK. Mr.. Wood announced from
tho rear platform that Mr.. Lincoln was not
on board, having gone direct to Washington.
MIR. Wood then introduced Robert Lincoln,
who happened to stand beside him, and, very
much to she latter's astonishment At 1l:40
the train passet the Maryland boundary.
The committee from Baltimore Joined the
party at Harrisburg, consisting Oh W. G. S.
Kelten, W. l. Marshall, l.. Blumenberg, W.
Bell, J. Bishop, W. Z. Gleason, j. NJ. Tor
mer and E. Oorcoran-ths latter on behalf
of the Electoral College. All OF them feel
very indignant in the want Of confidence in
the citizens of Baltimore, as indicated By
Mr.. Lincoln's course, though it is understood
he was opposed to it but was overruled by
others, who have assumed control OF hi
movements.
a crowd blocked up all the Calvert Stree
cd it with groaDs, on hearing that MIR. Lin
coin was not On board.
Arrangements had been made here fo,
securing the safe and respectable transit o.
Mr.. Lincoln through the city. The police
force was all out and fully equipped, and all
good citizens were anxious that no indgni.
ty should have been manifested. The ap
prehension entertained was that certain die
reputable parties, who lately attached them
selves to the Republican organization here
and who were expected to make . demon.
stration, would have aroused bad feelings in
the minds OF some, otherwise there was NJ
reason to apprehend anything nnpleasan
here.

Why Don't they Rejoice :

Why don't the professed union-saVers
rejoice over the result of the late e'eetions
in the Border States? If there is any hon,
esty in their professions, they must feel
elated that Virginia, Missouri, Tennessee
and Arkansas have declared in favor OF the
Union BY overwhelpils maiori''es' lhsy
do not, however; and herein we have PROOF
os their NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Their sole
object {. to break up the Republican party
Sy inducing it 20 compromise away ali ''s
principles. They know that the cotton
State; cannot be satisfied by sry compromise,
while the Border States cannot bs dragged
or driven out of the Union. They Know
too. that the Republican party aud the ih-
coming Administration is disposed to grant
the South all its rights under the Const'tu'
tion. and that there is really no cause Tor
secession.

following expressions ofregret at the secession
of Georgia, we have the evidence OF sen'l
ment which we are assured would be confessed
bv majority of the Georgia people, II only
the question of Union or Disunion could DC
distinctly and directly brought before tnem'
We quote from the Lagrange (Georg'a)
Exporter of a late date:
1.-THE deed is done! Our rights are-''os
secured! We have been JJ!ted and arumme0
and poted out of the Union. We still love
the Union. We love our old Government,
because it was established by the strong arms
and the blood of as true men as the wof.a
ever saw. We never did have any war to
make on the Government, but always regarded
It as a priceless inheritance bequeathed 10 us
bv our Revolutionary fathers, and we nave
adored ths Union of the States because that
Union was formed and cemented by their
blood. We have given them up, and nave
now left the sacred chambers of our fathers
The action of Georgia may be Tigh'' ana {"
may be a0rong."
