German Free Working Men of the city march
ed IN procession to the Barnet House, many

PreSident elect. Mr.. Lincoln was escorted to

formally presented brief address Mr. Lin.
coin responded rs follows:
Mr.. Chairman-I thank you and those Won
represent, for the compliment paid me by the
tender of this address. In far as there is
an allusion to our present national difficult
ties and the suggestion of the views of the
gentlemen who present this address, beg you
will excuse me from entering particularly
upon it. I deem it due to myself and the
whole country, in the present extraordinary
condition OF the country and of public opin-
ion, that l should wait and see the last de-
velopment of public opinion before give my
views or express myself at the time of the
inauguration lCheersl l hope at that time
to be false to nothing You have been taught to
expect of me. [Cheers.]
/ agree with you, Mr.. Chairman, and with
the address of your constituents, in the de-
ciaration that working men are the basis of
all governments. That remark Is due to them
more than to any other class, for the reason
that there are more Of them than of any either
class. And as your address is presented to
me not only on behalf Of working men, but
especially OF Germans, may say word as
to classes hold the value of life is to i'm.
prove ones condition. Whatever is calculated
to advance the condition of the honest strug-
gllnS laboring man, SO far my judgment
Will enable me TO Judge OF a correct thing, L
am for that thing
An alluson has been made to the Homestead
law. / think it worthy of cons idera tion and
that the wild lands of the countrv should be
distributed SO that every man should have the
means and opportunity of benefiting his con-
dition. tCheers l have said do not desire
TO enter into detail. nor will /.
In regard TO Germans and foreigners, es-
TEEN foreigners bel ter than other nppnlp
nor any worse. Laughter and cheers They
are all of the great family of men, and if there
is one shackle upon any Of them, it would be
far better to lift the load from them than to
pile additional loads upon them fCheers
And inasmuch as the ontinent of America is
comparatively new country, and the other
countries of the world are old countries, there
IS more room here, comparatively speaking,
than there is there and if they can better
their condition by leaving their old homes
there is nothing i'll my heart to forbid them
coming and bid them all God speed. [Cheers.
Again, gentlemen, thanking you for your
address, bid you good night.
Mr.. LINCOLN AT sTEUBESvILLE, oHIo-HE MAKBs
ANOTHER SPEECH, AND SAYS THE MAJORITY
MUST RULE
| PIrrsBURG, Feb. I4.-The President elect and
| party Lett Columbus at o'clock this morning
| AT Steubenville, Ohio, a demons tration took
| place on his arrival some five thousand peo-
| pie being present at the depot to receive him.
| A salute was fired and MIR. Lincoln was for
| mally welcomed by Judge Lloyd.
MIR. Lincoln responded briefly. He said he
feared that the great confidence expressed in
| his ability was unfOunded. Indeed, am sure
| it is so. The position to which 1 have been
| called is encompassed with vast difficulties -
| l am sure, however, that nothing shah be
| wanting on my part, sustained by the Ameri-
| can people and God's help. l believe the de-
| votion of the people to the Constitution and
| the Union, equally great on both sides of the
| Ohio river. 1t is only a different understand
| ing-only dispute AS towhat are their rights.
| fha Ia
| he the Judge q? When such a Judge is found
we must all be bound by the decision That
| Judge is the majority of the American people
If not, then the minority must con troll. Would
| that be right, just or generous? Assuredly
| not. He reiterated that the majority should
| rule, and If he adopted wrong policy, the
| opportunity to condemn him would occur in
four years. Then can be turned out and a
better man, with better views, be put in nv
place.

qualification and surprise at SO great an a s.
semblage and such boundless enthusiasm
| manifested under such untoward circum.
stances, TO greet so unworthy an individual
| as himself. 1t was, undoubtedly, to be attri
buted to the position to which, more by acci

He remarked further that if all these ener
