FederaIfsu.

The rSnkest Federalism was not more eagerly
pressed upon the country during the administrations
of the elder and the younger ADAMS than it has been
during the present session of Congress. Let those
who revere tine name and principles of Democracy
beware of such doctrines, whether they come from
the lips of renegade Democrat or life long Fede-
r,aIist Federalism is to-day as ruinous in lis effects
70 the interests of the people when it al
temnted the defeat of JEFFERSON and JACKSON.

LNcoIN'S PROBATION PRUDENT ONE.

/ am enabled to add much to my dispatch of yes
terday, Of truthful but alarming character. Mr..
Lincoln did receive sufficient evidence that attempts
would be made to destroy his life, which were so
well planned that they would have been successful
On Thursday night, at Harrisburg, he gave an au-
dence to gentlemen, which elected the fact that
organized body of men had determined that he
should not be naugurated, and that he should never
leave the city of Baltimore alive if indeed he ever
entered. This information was of so authentic
character that Mr.. Lincoln on consulting with his
friends and family, determined to foil these attempts
Col sumner demonstrated and opposed such
course, IN the very face of Gen SCOTS kilograms
to the contrary. Nr. I.Roon did not want to yield
at hrst, to these entreates but at last consented

to assassnate, and to the possibility of his never he

CAUSE OF TIE STEP.

There ten thousand rumors aAoat as to the
cause of his ignoring Baltimore and coming through
silently. 1t is known that Gen. Scott telegraphed
him yesterday, advising that course, but from what
motive is not apparent. There is good authority,
though, for asserting that it not because trouble
was appFehended at Baltimore, but from political
causes here.

board, connected safely with The train for Washing

pot by Mr.. Seward and escorted to Wizards
So great was the excitement, yesterday and so eS-
tensive the doubt that Mr. Lincoln had arrived that
thousands assembled at the depot last evening await
ing the arrival of the special train which would
have been run through had the programme been
carried out but as hour after hour wore away they
became convinced that he had arrived before as no
special izsil came in sight.

FEELING OF RESPECTABLE CITIZENS.

The universal desire of all good, respectable cti-
zens, was to see Mr.. Lincoln courteously treated
and safely protected. If any hellish design existed
to assassinate him. it was wholly unknown to them,
and no calamity would have caused deeper regret,
or more shamefully disgraced our city.
The dispatches to Northern journals, charging
upon US the deliberate purposes of having the Pres
ident elect killed in passing through Baltimore, are
infamSusis ibelliops. What desperadoes might
have designed on DONE loyal citizens cannot be held
accountable for.
AL things considered, there were chances and in
dicatons Of real danger, springng from an unusual
excitement and apparent desperation oaaracterising
certain classes All rejoice in Baltimore being de.
prVed by Mr.Lincoln's wise forethoDgh and the bet
ter counsel of his friends, of the disgrace which
might have fallen upon US by indIscreet actions,
had he appeared publicly among US at the present
epoch of excitement.

EFFECTS OF IINCoLN'S ARRIVAL
The politicians and Office seekers are the
most puzzled as to Lincoln's arrival. What
brought him here so suddeny?' was on everybody rs
tongue. The rush for Wizards was immense. The
city police took possession of the lower floors at an
early hour, and rolled back the surge that and

Some say it was plot of the Breckenridge Dem
ocrats, with influential wire-wOrkers behind the
scene, backed by reckless DisuniQnists and Seees-
sionists that the scheme was secretly concerted
several days ago. Others allege it was only de-
monstration Intended to show Lincoln the differ
ence between the sentiments of the people in the

him see that thousands were forced into Idleness
