WHAT THEY SAY IN BALTIMoRK.-The Balti-
more American of this morning says: "The state
ment we gave yeste rday Of the causes which in
duced Mr.. Lincoln's passage incognito through
Baltimore Is now confirmed upon unquestionable
authority. 1t appears, as was then stated that
certain parties here desired to give Mr.. Lincoln
public and partisan reception, and applied to
Marshal Kane for police protection in carrying
out that Intention. Col Kane informed them that
he believed the President elect, IL no partisan
ovation was attempted, would be received respect
fully and properly by the citizens of Baltimore,
but in the presence Of such demonstration as
they proposed he doubted whether 1t would be
possible to restrain public excitement and to pre-
vent the occurrence of acts that ght be Insulting
to Mr.. Lincoln and derogatory to the character Of
our city. The intention to have public parade
was persisted in, and Col. Kane Informed Mr.
Lincoln's friends in Washington Of the facts Of
| the case and Of his own apprehensions, and upon
the information so given the change in the pro-
gramme was made and the President elect passed
through Baltimore In the manner that has occa-
| stoned so much excitement and remark. This
| explanation efectually disposes of the "fearful
plots OF assassination" invented by the New York
| reporters, and also shows that the movement,
| although evincing perhaps somewhat excessive
prudence upon the part of Mr.. Lincoln's advisers
was really designed simply as a precauton against
| events that might have been very unpleasant to
Mr. Lincoln and productive Of new element OF
| excitement in the already over-excited state Of
public feeling"

TEE fkAcE CosvEsTIoS.-See elsewhere, in
to-day's star, accounts descriptive Of Yesterdays
proceedings in the Peace Convention The ex-
element in its midst was far greater than on any
previous occasion. IL grew out of persistent ef-
forts Of the anti-compromisers, under the lead Of
Mr.. Field, to stave of final action on the one
hand, and OF extreme demands, (made by Mr.
Seddon, we apprehend,) when 1t was clear that
urging them was only likely to further the ends
Of those bent on defeating all and any compro-
mise whatever. Mr.. Guthrie is understood to
have become excited to the point Of starting to
leave the hail, upon the ground that the ant-com-
rronisers were evidently trhing with those who
were dischsrging their duties commission ers
In good faith; but he was persuaded to remain,
and subsequently, again too K his leading part in
disposing Of the business before them. When
they sdjourned for dinner the friends Of compro-
mise nearly al hopeless Of being able to ac-
complish any anal result whatever; az, under
their rules, the minority, II undermined, could
prevent anal vote from b1fng taken, by insisting
on proposing and speaking to amendmer d wholly
20 kill time.
On reassembling, the majority made up their
minds to sit all night, II that might be necessary
to get through with the labor Of considering all
propositions to amend any portion Of the report,
that might be essayed. That was accomplished,
however, by half past fo'cIock m when they
adjourned, having entirely finished their work OF
considering amendments to the report by sections
or branches.
This left before them for to-day's consideration,
merely such propositions may be offered In the
nature Of substitutes for the whole report; OF
which we now know Of but two. One, to be of.
fsred by Mr.. Chase, to adjourn over until the 4th
Of April, In order (as its friends ALLEGED to test the
sincerity Of the Unionism Of the border slavehold
Ing States; and another (psobably to be offered
by Mr.. Field) to adopt, instead Of the report be
fore them. proposition referring the whole sub
Jet 10 National Convention whenever III,
requisite number Of State Legislatures may see
% call one
Neither OF these can prevail; az the friends O
compromise sosc, have q clear majority I'm th,
body, by States, and an overwhelming one nu
merically. That IL to say: their maorities in th,
delegations from the States favoring present actor
are overwhelming; while the msjorities of thei
opponents In delegations voting las until apains
action, are very small. The labors Of the Couyen
ton win doubtless be brought to close to-day.
Az remarked yesterday, the franklin amend
ment 10 the one agreed on with reference to tn
Territorial slavery question. No material amend
rnent TO any other branch Of the original repor
has tiumphed.

CABINET MAnNs.-The Republican leaders are
intensely busy to-day, Cabinet making. Horace,
the redoubtable, is flying about like shot out Of
a hot shovel. Now at Willards' for an interview
with Mr.. Lincoln, next in a House committee
room, closeted with some leader Of his peculiar
school, then rushing out towards the Senate cham
Der, fanked on one side by Mr.. Judd, of Ill, and
on the other by Frank Blair, Sr., Esq.
1t IL very evident that Horace refuses to be com.
forted in the state Of things he finds around him
very.
The last estate" that finds credence here places
Mr.. Seward, Of course, in the State Department,
Mr.. Cameron In the Treasury, Mr.. Bates for
Attorney General, and Mr.. Caleb B. Smith In the
War Department. The conservative Republican,
were this forenoon very generally satisfied thai
those appointments would be made. We have
every reason to believe that the war made upon
Mr.. Seward has only operated to warn Mr.. Lin
coin that he cannot listen favorably to the sugges
lions Of the ultras without driving from him al
but themselves.

Spirit Of the Morning Press

The IntsHigencs- argues that while portion OF
the politicians In the Border Slaveholding States
are urging the people to identity their destiny
immedia'ely with that Of the Seeding states, the
more slgacious citizens OF the latter clearly per-
r.,ve that the welfare and safety Of all concerned,
to say nothing of their political harmony, will be
better consulted by a retention Of the former In
their present Federal alliance.
The Rspusieam says: ait is great mistake to
suppose that the Union men, either Of Tennessee
or any other Southern state, are opposed to the
forcible maintenance Of the authority Of the Gov
eminent II IL the very thing they are most anxious
&c witness, and If they exhibit any weakness, d
IS from an approximation thar sveh may NOT be tn
policy Of tAe Republican party"
