PITTsBURG, February l5-Mr Lincoln
made speech here this morning, in which
he said ..
F" When 1spenk on the political condition
of the country, shall say nothing to disap-
point the people, who do not generally under
stand the troubles mt the South There is re-
ally no crisis except an artifcul one-thcre
Is nothing to justify their course there is no
Crisis butsueh, an. one as,ceuld be gotten ND
at any time by n turbulent people, aided BY.
designing politicians. My advice is to keep
ceol," etc. g
Abiding to tariff he said: "The Chicago
Platform contains a plank which he thought
should be regarded as law by the incoming ad-
ministratlon. In fact the platform ON this
and oil other subjects should not be varied
from, as this was what the people understood
when asked for their votes.
RlcnMoND, February l6--A large number of,
resolutions we're offered. and referred to the
Committee on Federal Relntons-some looking
for secession if the Peace Congress at Washing
tnn tnIls TO effect an aiustnjent. satisfactory to
the S"uth Many of them look to resistance to
any attempt at coercion. Same of them, def.
ming c"erolon, One says that anything the Fed
eral Government may do TO retake the ftrts,
collect the revenue, und enforce the laws is not
coercion.
BgTwREN Two FtRRs.-- The Black Republi-
cans in Congress appearnto be between two fires
irodi' wttehtif they escape without being seri-
eQsly damaged. they must be- ndEoit politicians
/. They are Threatened with the secession of
tho Border States if they do not make such
concessions. as these States deSnand. and thus
disrupt their party, O. they have difficulties
in prospect. perhaps European war, if they
attempt coercion of the Cotton States by block
AIDES, and other measures of commercial inters
diction. In addition tn these troubles in pros
pect there will bea large deficiency in the Fed.
eralsrerenue. which they cannot supply if they
offend the New York capitalists, by refusing to
make a peaceful settlement of existing Difficult
tics, besides widening breach in their parts.

PRErARE FOR WHARF.-The Louisville
Courier says:
Mr. Thomas IIutcbison, wealthy and en-
ineutly respectable citizen of Boyle county,
in this State, and member of the Union
party, was IN Springfield, H., few DAYS
since; and feeling deeply interested in the
maintenance of peace, and anxious for the
restoration of the Union, and knowing that
the question: of peace or war is substantially
in the hands of Mr. Lincoln, through the
Influence which his position gives him over
Che members of hisEparty, he sought an in
terview with the President elect never doubt
ing that he would learn that the patriotism
and good sense and sound judgment of that
distinguished gentleman were equal to the
emergency and capable of carrying us peace
ably and safely through the crisis
He has rctarmcR home withom hope for Mc
fufure. ',.
Mr.. Lincoln in the conversation. referred
to the antl-coercion resolutions passed through
the House of Representatives, ut Frank fort
by vote of 81 ayes to 6 noes, aud asked his
visitor, it they. expressed the sentiment of
the people of the State.
Mr. Hutchisop replied that the people of
Kentucky arc for the Uuion that they will
cling to it as tho sheet anchor of their hopes :
that they would make any sacriice which
freemen could make to preserve IT,; but he
thought, If any attempt should be made to
coorce the Seeding States by Federal arms,
they would make common cause with the
Sonth-that he believed the resolutions cx
pressed the sentiment of the State
MIR. Lincoln then said with emphasis g If
Kentucky means to say that if the Federal
Government undertook to recapture the South
ern forts and collect the revenue and war en-
sue, she will unite with. the South, Let her
Prepare for war"

Cure for Fever and Ague.

Although, like toothache, fever and
ague is a disorder that many people make
fun over, nc one who has ever had the
"shaker and the "chills'' is careless con
csrning the remedy for them. A gentle
man, who has been among the troops on
the Upper Potomac. says that there is a
remedy. always easily found, which is
much more reliable than quinine or colo
goguge, and that remedy is decoction of
the common white plaintain, formed by
sleeping the leaves IN Whiskey taken be-
fore breasfsst a dozen mornings in sue
cession. The remedy is at every farm,
house door, and is as simple as that pre-
scribed to Naaman by the Prophet, to
whom he was preferred to the ''llttle
madden
