Reception OF President Lincoln at an
dianaPOIis.

dianapOIis.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb II.
The firing of "a guns announced the ap-
preaching train bearing the President elect
and party. The President was received and
welcomed by Gov. o. P. Morton, and escorted
10 carriage drawn by four white horses The
procession formed itself into a pageant seldom
if ever Witnessed here before The procession
was composed of the members of both Houses
of the Legislature, public officials, municipal
authorities, military and fire companies, citi-
zens and strangers.
The President eject stood in his carriage
acknowledging the welcome. The procession
upon reaching the Bates House, halted and
Mr. Lincoln was escorted to the balcony, where
he addressed his fellow citizens. He said he
came here to thank them for the support given
by Indiana to true and Just cause. Coercion
and invasion are terms much used now with
temper and hot blood. Let US not misunder-
stand their meaning. nor the meaning of those
who use them; let US get their meaning from
the men who depreciate the things they would
represent by their use. What is the meaning
af these words?
| Would marching an army into South Caro-
lima with hostile intent be invasion7 | think
it would and it would be coercion also, if the
South Carolinians were forced to submit But
| if the United States would merely hold and re-
take its own forts, aid collect the Duties or
Withhold the mails where they were habltually
violated, would any of these things be invasion
or coercion Do professional Union lovers,
resolve to resist coercion, understand that such
things as these on the part of the United States
would be coercion or invasion? If they do,
their idea of preservation is exceedingly thin
and airy. In their view the Union as a family
relation would seem to be no regular marriage,
but sort of free love arrangement to be main
tanned by personal attractions. In what con-
sists the special sacredness of State7 l speak
not of the position assigned to State by the
Constitution, for that by the bond we all recog-
nize.
If State or county possesses equals in Ter
ritory and inhabitants, in what, as a matter of
principle is the State better than the county,
Would an exchange Of names be an exchange
of rights upon principle?-by what right of
principle may State, being not more than one
| fifteenth part of the nation in size and popu-
| lation, break up the nation and then coerce the
larger division of itself? What Mysterious
right to place is conferred on district of coun-
try with its people calling it a State7
Mr.. Lincoln, in conclusion, said he was not
asserting anything, but asking questions for
them to consider and decide in their own minds
what was right and what was wrong.
Gov. Morton being loudly called for, appear
ed and spoke ina congratulatory tone to the
gathering. which was now immense.
At o'clock this evening the members of the
Legislature paid their respects to the President
elect, who is now holding q reception at the
Bates House.
The President elect and suits leave for Gin
cinnati tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock

crat on the floor of Congress uttering sentiments
Of loyalty to the Government On Tuesday
last, the bill authorizing the Postmaster Gene.
raj to discontinue postal facilities wherever tho
mails have been tempered with, or their trans.
mission obstructed, came up. Mr., sickles, of
New 1ork,a Democrat, made an effective speech
in favor Of the bill. In concluding his remarks
he said
" In November it was peaceabe secession.
We could agree to that. l am for it, In Jan
nary it was forcible secession; and then sir the
friends of peaceable secession in the North
were transformed into timid apologists In
February it is speculation and war. Armies
are raised right under the guns of forts belong
ing to the United States, the jurisdiction Of
which has been ceded TO US by the most solemn
acts Of the seeding States Measures of cpen
war yielded to Mexican spoliations, and 1 say,
in the presence of this new and last movement,
that it can hare no friends IN the North, it car
hare no apologiSts in tie North, but there rsi{l
soon be no exception to The general denunciation
1chich tt must meet icith from the louaL and patri-
otto citizens Of this eOutarg"
Mr.. Sickles can hardly be acquainted with
the northwestern Democracy, or he would not
nave made that clos ing remark. Here in Wis
eohsln, Democracy is quite too pure to believe
'na' slavery can commit any wrong. No mat
ter what phase secession may take, it has advo-
Gates apoogists and upholders in Wisconsin
Democracy We should regret to see the act
of barbarism or Vandalism committed BY the
Southern Shareholders, that most of our Demo
cratic editors would not either commend OF
excuse. The lynching of their dearest friends
by Southern mob would be charged upon the
Republican party, while the perpetrators them
selves would escape without word of censure

There was not SO much diversity of opinion as to

the manner in which its expenditure should be di-
rected, The evidences of extensive want and
destitution in Kansas, are undeniable and it wo'd
seem to be the dictate of Humanity, that Wiscon.
