A NOBLE sPEECII FROM A NO.
BILE MAN.

The few words uttered by ABRAHAM LIN
COLIN, in old Independence Hall, Philadelphia
on Friday, in response to an allusion to tho
imperilled and distracted state Of the country,
must thrill every patriotic heart. The sem
timents no there put forth are as noble rs
ever fell from the lips of man.
Mr.. Iincoln first attended to the ceremony
of raising the flag Of thirty-four stars over
the Hall Of lnder which was attend
cd with all the solemnity due such an occs-
sion. The papers describe the scene as be-
ing very impressive one.
Att o'clock Mr.. lincoln was escorted to
the Hall, and there received by Theodore
Cuyler, who warmly welcomed him to its
venerable walls in the hour Of national peril
and distress, when the great work achieved
by the wisdom and patriotism of our fathers
seems threatened with instant ruin. Mr..
Lincoln responded as follows:

place, where were collected together the
wisdom, the patriotism, the devotion TO prin

Letter from Washington.

WASHINGTON Cry, Fe'


WASHINGTON Cry, Feb. %, 1861.
FRIEND PoonMAN: As the occasion
draws near, its anxicties and excitcments
increase. The unexpected conclusion of the
journey ofthc President elect has added not
alittle to the many spcculations with refer
encc to tho most mOmentous result of this or
any other period of American history. The
safety of the representative of the Nation
surpasses in Importance any conceivable
earthly consideration. Who can estimate
the value ofthat one life, to the American
people? The chosen executive, the desig-
mated commander ofits armies, and thercpre-
sentative of its grandest idea, its unity, Iin-
coin is at once the embodiment of American
Nationally. Noparty consideration, no vim
dication ofpersonal bravery, could justify a
hazard SO momentous, wherc there ,ods 'die
least doubt. The mere faet that rumor was
rife, and had been for months, justjfing the
authorities Of Baltimore IN inaugmutipg er-
traordiaary police force, in connection with
the acknowledged treason that is abroad in
every Slave State, fully justi6es the pru-
denoe of the nerer-to-Je. forgotten night ride
ofthe President elect. Washington City is
now the one oasis in the desert of Southern
patriotism. Its streets crowded with uncon-
ditional Union men, the places which recent.
ly gave forth such internal hswlings have
became the scenes of determined counsels,
for the presentation of our liberties, and the
punishment Of traitors No organized re-
Jellion can defeat The people no'o. The as
sassins knife is the last danger, and Il ,oiU b.
uaarailiag. What unearthly howlings are
sent up by the traitors, at erery preoaution-
arg Increment for safety They are the loud
est brawlers, when extra vigilcncc is set or
foot by their Confedcrates, but their organs
howl when they are confronted with that
ordinary sagacity, which refuses confidence
where trason is proclaimed as virtue. A
secession Mayor can be relied upon, but the
patriot Scott isa military dospot A thiev-
ing Secretary Of War becomes God, but
Secretary Holt is at once proclaimed demon.
And these riilams wriggle and twist like O

The city is thronged with canal men, who
arc desirous of having bill passed for the
disposition of these Works, that they may
pitch in, and lease them, feeling confident, |
of course, that with proper management
they can make handsome profit in the con-
troll of them.
J The Board of Public Works is now COM
pod entirely of Republicans, Mr.. Sargent
having beensworn in last week. The Board
now express the opinion that the coming
year the Works can be made entirely self
sustaining. They say, further, that if it
had not been for the unprecedented foods
Of last spring, they would not have been an
expense to the State the last year.
In addition to the so-called personal liber-
ty bill Of 1890, which alluded to week or
two ago, there appears to have been another
such law found by the keen olfactories of
Southern sympathizcrs, in law of 1857
called "an act to prevent kidnapping. >
The history of the passage of the law Of 81,
however, presents as interesting picture Of
Locofoco duplicity as does the bill Of 1860,
alluded to heretofore. For instance the
bill of 1857 was passed in the House by an
almost unanimous vote, being 30 ayes and
3 noes. Among the ayes were Messrs. An
drews, of Auglaize, and Patterson of Adams,
ofthe present House, Col. Holmes, of Ham
ilton, of the present Senate, and nineteen
other Democrats Yet, In the face of all
. these facts, the Democracy still insist that
Republicans are responsible for all laws Of
this nature now on the statute books.
