PLAN TO ASSASsINATE
MR.. LINCOLN.

The nublic were startled at the sudden
,r;vats move Of the President elect from
Harrisburgh to Washington on Saturday
morning. 1t might be, the thought was
from urgent public business, making even a
few hours delay of consequence 1t might
be even, from desire to escape the exhaust
ing fatigue which, after his previous labors,
the last days journey was sure to force upon
him if he had it to undergo, though that was
not probable but it htbe also because there
was ground for a belief that his life would
not be safe, If he was exposed on the way, as
he has been thus far. So many violent
threats had been made against his lile-so
daring and atrocious had been the progress
of rebellion thus far, that no one could feel
sure that men would not be found wicked
and desperate enough to resort to assassina'
ton, to accomplish the defeat of his inauguF-
alton.
Hard as it is to admit The possibility @
such fendish attempt, it seems it was &C

Special despateh to the N. Y. Times
Harrisburg, Feb. 23-S A. NJ


Abraham Lincoln, the President-elect OF the
Uoited States is safe in the capital of the Nation
Rv the admirable arrangement of General Scott
the country has been spared the lasting disgrace,
which would have been fastened indenoiy upon IL
had Mr.. Lincoln been murdered on MS Journey
thither, as he would have been, had he foilo"eo
the programme as announced in papers and gone
by the Northern Central railroad TO Baltimore.
On thursday night after he had retired, Mr..
TincoIn was aroused and informed that stranger
desired to see him on matter OF lie or deata.
He declined to admit him unless he gave his
name. which be at once did. Such prestige did
the name carry that while Mr.. Lincoln was yet
disrobed he granted an interview to the caler'
A prolonged conversation elected the tact that
an Organized body Of men had determined that
Mr.. Lincoln should rot be inaugurated, and that
he should never leave the city OF Baltimore allve,
if indeed, he ever entered
The list of the names Of the conspirators pre-
seuted most astonishing array Of persons high
in Southern confidence, and some whose fame Is
not confined TO this country alone.
Statesmen laid the plan, bankers Endorsed 1t,
ard adventures were TO carry il into effect. They
understood M Lincoln was TO leave Harrisburg
al o'clock this morning by special train, and the
idea was, if possible, to throw the cars from the
road at some point where they would rush down
steep embankment and destroy in moment the
lives Of all on board. In case OF the failure Of
this project their plan was to surround the car
rage on the way from depot to depot in Balti-
more. and assassinate him with dagger or pistol
shot
So authentic was the source from which the in
formation was obtained, that Mr.. Lincoln, after
counselling with his friends, was compelled to
make arrangements which would enable him to
subvert the plans Of his enemies
Greatly to the annoyance Of the thousands who
desired to call on him last night, he declined
giving reception. The final council was'held at
s o'clock.
Mr.. Lincoln did not want to yield, and Col.
Sumner actually cried with indignation; bu;
Mrs Lincoln, seconded by Mr.. Judd and Mr..
Lincolns original informant, insisted upon IT, and
at o'clock Mr.. Lincoln left on special train. He
wore Scotch plaid cap and very long military
cloak. so that be was entirely unacceptable.
Accompanied by Superintendent Lewis and one
friend he started while all The town, with the
exception of Mrs. Lincoln, Col. Sumner, Mr.. Judd,
and two reporters who were sworn TO secresy,
supposed him to he asleep.
The telegraph wires were put beyond reach Of
any one who nj cht desire to use them.
At one o'clock the fact was whispered from one
TO another and it soon became the theme Of the
most excited conversation. Many thought it very
injudicious move, while others regarded IL rs
stroke Of great merit.

AN IMFosTER DIsoovERED. There Lal
been some excitement in Springfield, Mass.
consequent upon the discovery that Rev
Geo. j. Adams, preacher before the Second
Advent Society, was no minister at all. but
a stage player, and drunken debauchee at
that. There was public meeting held to
consider the affair, and though Adams de-
! clares he is persecuted-isnt that Adams at
all, but another one-and some believe him.
the charges against him are pretty clearly
proved.
The Springfield Republican says Adams
was expelled from the pulpit Of Campbell
lite church in West Pawlet, Vt, about
three years ard a half ago, his character
being found out. While there he was
known TO take liquor into the pulpit to
drink during the sermon. L4St winter be
managed little theatre at Whitehall, n.
Y. a year ago he was in Rutland. sup
piled the Baptist church one Sabbath, gave
course of lectures on the Indian tribes,
lectured on Shakespeare, and wound up By
appearing beastly drunk in the streets at
midday.
lie came to Springfield some four months
ago as preacher, and drew full houses for
some time. lie was recognized as bad
character several times, but always asserted
that bis accusers were mistaken, and showed
obituary notices Of M. Adams, in proof.
There is no doubt, however, that he is him
self. The Republican has letters and docu-
ments from all parts of the country, giving
his history Tor a dozen years.

MIR. LINCOLN AND THE PEOPLE.

Mr.. Lincoln's progress towards Wash
ington has been attended, all the way,
by an unexampled outpouring of popular
feeling-a feeling ominous Of good for the
future, notwithstanding the dark clouds
which official treachery and party corruption
have spread over the nation. That he should
be cheered on his way by those who labOred
for his election is no wonder; but men of all
parties, who had spark of patriotism left
in their bosoms, have thronged to see and to
hear tie tried, the honest, the frank, the
firm man, as we'll as the President elect The
national heart feels to its core the deep need
of lust such qualities in its chief magistrate,
and it gathers hope as the day draws near
when he shall be enabled to declare with
authority, what must be done to save the
Government, what he intends to DO, so far
as his power goes, and what be wishes the
people to 90.
OF course he could not, If he would, escape
being addressed on his way by the Municipal
and State authorities, and in behalf of the
thousands who assembled to greet him; and
of course, too, he could not avoid making
reply. OF course, too, there would be found
party-hack scribblers, to sneer, because his
mouth did not pour forth Mandy PANTY,
drawing room phrases, and to carp because
he made any alIusion to the disturbed state
of the nation, or because he did not say
something which they could attack But
sensible, fair-mindod men of all parties have
found in his brief, frank, pertinent and de-
cided remarks, great satisfaction. Their
feeling has been, that if any one can save
the county, it must be just such man.

Mr.. Lincoln is received with great attention
at Was ington, and his safe arrival is a gener-
al subject Of reorganization there and through
the country. Speculation is yet awake as to
the exact reasons for his unexpected entry,
though it IS conceded that ne was urged
to it by high officers, and on prudential
grounds Whether there was a definite plot
to rs assl0ate him, or only well grounded
lear that the notorious Baltimore mobs would
seriously modest if not kill him, is yet in
doubt, 50 far as the public are informed
The papers, generally, think the course taken
by him was prudent one; but now and
then one seems to think that the President
elect, being SIX feet four inches high, was
bound TO act as 4 professional prize fighter
would, for whom + he heard he was to be
attacked, it would be orderly to roll up his
sleeves and challenge all corners. The Pre-
sident elect Of thirty millions of people, about
to assume the responsibilities of Office has no
right to consider his life as simply his own,
which he may imperil if he pleascs
1t would not have been acting the part Of
OF prudent or brave man. if he had neg
lscted the precautions which persons of high
character and eminent official station urged
him TO take under the information which
they had. Had he done so and any serious
evil had followed, he would then have been
called obstinate and foolhardy, to have dis
regarded the warnings and advice from so
high quarter. A really brave man is as
ready to keep out Of needless danger as he is
to meet danger unainchias.y when it comes
-naVo;dabiy.

Tue ANDERsos CASE. The case Of tho
fugitive slave Anderson. which has excited
much attention, in the United States. in
Canada, and in Great Britain, was disposed
of at Toronto, on the 10th ulr., ana AIie--
son was set at liberty. The case was simply
this in making lis escape from slavery il
Missouri, Anderson struck down, fatally, 4
man who was ondeavoring to stop him and
made his way into Canada. This was near
y eight years ago, his place Of residence
having been cscertained, al arrest was made
On = Canadian justices warrant, and he
was imprisoned and a requisition was made
for his surrender to United States authorities,
according to treaty obligations for the ex-
tradition ofpersons charged with high crime.
The decision of the court before which the
case was first brought, was that he must be
given up. A writ Ct Ha5cas Corpus was
then obtained, and Anderson was brought
up in accordance with it before the Court,
for a denomination of the case, The Judges,
Chief Justice Draper, Mr.. Justice Richards
and Mr.. Justice Haggerty, delivered con-
current opinions to the effect that the
warrant for Anderson's commitment was
fatally defective, and on that ground he must
be discharged. a writ of Hdboas CORPUS
had also been issued from the Court Of
Queens Bench in England, ordering that
Anderson should be brought before that
Court, but by his discharge that writ Of
course ceases to take effect. The judges Gid
not say what their decision would have
been, if the warrant for commitment had
been free Of defect; though they alluded to
grave difficulties in the case, under that
suppOsition.

Mr. LIScoLN's SPEECHES SoU7H.-Tbe
Charleston Mercury says of Mr.. Lincoln :
speeches
That our readers may not fail to understand
the views and policy OF Mr. Lincoln as regard, ~,
confederate otates, we call attention to his
at Indianapolis In his opinion, the United States
holding those forts which have not been captured
and retaking those which have beeu captured by
the confederate States and the collection of duties
in their hsrbors is neither coercion nor invasion.
but gentle exercise of legitimate power towards
so many rebeious counties, to bring them to thsir
senses. Lincoln is q cool man, able man, a de-
tSn'ined man, man not Of words bnf Of action who
says what ne means, and means what he says; an
earnest man withal, and no politician. Our read
ers may come to their own conclusions"
The Mercury hits the nail on the head, in
its judgment of Mr.. Lincoln.
