LinCoIu's Views.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 22.-Lincoin, i'll a speech
this morning, at Independence Hall made some
important points. He said the country could
b" saved only by the principles contained i'll
the Declaration of Independence, which gave
Liberty not alone to the people of this coun-
try, but the world, for all future time. If
the country cannot be saved without giving
up this principle, he would rather be assassi-
mated than surrender it. In his view OF the
present aspect of affairs, there was no need of
hloodshed or war. He was not in favor of
such a course, and would say, in advance,
that there would be no bIoodshed unless it
was forced upon the Government rs IN act OF
self defence
