man now lives. All legislative reform which ben

barons, assembled at Runymede, extorted from

What WE HAVE EscAPED.-We can now be-
gin to understand what we escaped last Novem-
Der when the fusion failed to accomplish its OBJ
ject of separating enough States from the Repub-
hcan column to defeat the election In that
case Mr.. Lincoln would still have been the lead
ing candidate, and the South would still have
had the same desperate game to play, to terrify
the House out of completing his election. If
the whole struggle had thus been conferred in
Congress, what would have been the state of
affairs in that body to-day? The fiery excitement
ofthe struggle would hardly have failed to lead to
violence in Congress itself, while outside of the
halls.of Legislation the danger would have been
at least equally great. and the altered course of
events might possibly have been the means of
keeping the Government at the mercy of Messrs.
Cobb and Floyd, and their confederates, until
the 4th of March. y leas5 =s45.a ~, s.f.
:, And in case Mr.. Lincoln had failed to be
elected by the House, the Government would
have fallen into the hands of Joseph Lane, a
man who now openly exhibits his sympathy with
the Secessionists. Our friends who went into
the fusion movement have cause daily to thank
the Republicans for saving them from being
the instruments of such disgrace.-[Boston Ad.

SEE The Nashville Democrat publishes the re.
ply of the Secretary of war to the demand of the
Envoy Of South Carolina for the surrender of Fort
Sumter and the remarks of Mr. Lincoln, at Indi

The opinion held by Mr. Lincoln, az we NAV
imply it, from what he said, is precisely the same
that is entertained by the present Administration
as expressed in Mr. Hollis communication to Mr..
Hayne.
Indeed no other opinion could be held by any
Administration. And every Admlnistrat ion
must sooner or later, act upon the views ofduty
SO clearly set forth in Mr.. Hollis letter. In these
same views Cave johnson fully conquered. in the
letter to his neighbors, published some weeks
since, in all our journals.

cious, they must be rs, much SO when uttered bv

Imme nse Ovation to the President Elect
-. In New York.
From the N. Y. Tribune, 2oth.1

We but reflect the popular opinion when we
say that the ovation was one of the grandest
and most soul stirring we have ever witnessed.
Though the President elect was evidently faded,
care worn and oppressed with weighty respon-
sibility he was also firm, self-possessed and ap-
peared equal to the stupendous task before him.
He seemed to impress the people with this con-
vction. as he rode along, and = glimpse of his
plain, straightforward, honest face, SO full of
deep, earnest thought, of direct singleness of
purpose, of thorough purity of motive and pa
triotic impulse, SO won Che multitude that they
burst into such spontaneous, irrepressible cheers
as gladdened the heart and moistened the eye,
and made everybody forget the turbulence and
anarchy, secession and almost civil war, now
raging in the land, IN their ..plicit confidence il.
the coming man.
ASTOUNDING DISPLAY OF WHITE HANDKERcHIrFs.
" The universal waving OF handkerchief was
one of the most striking peculiarities of the
whole scene; through the whole of the route,
from first to last from Thirtieth street to the
Aston House, from the locomotive engine to the,
hotel parlor, the President progressed on the
white breast of the most tremendous wave of
handerchiefs ever witnessed-his coming was
anticipated by white ripple of rectangular lin
en-; he moved forward on the white bosom of a
huge linen biow of colossal dimensions, aud
departing he left wake of numberless handker-
chiefs still gently tossing muititudinous greet
ing-as every hand of every arm outstretched
to greet the honest man had grasped the white
flag of faith and trust-as if the city had been
sown with some curious new seed, endowed with
strange vitality, and every door and window
and balcony of every house, along the whole
route travelled by the guest of the city, had been
planted with this wondrous crop, which had
sprung up by magic, and hlossomed into innu-
merable flags of peace, Of welcome, and hope.
Tile President elect rode as through forest
where every tree was human, and every Dough was
a waving arm, and every leaf was white banner
of Joy. Many houses we're decorated with flags
and banners, and in the Fifth avenue and other
streets windows were opened to the floor, and
ladies' in full dress sat, giving peculiar and
beautiful brillancy to the scene.
Near the corner Of Eighth avenue and Twen-

THE GRxAr FLOATING BATTERY AT NEW YORK
"A large amount Of war material has been
shipped from Pittsburg destined for the celebra-
ted Stevens Floating Battery, New York. which
has been in the course Of construction several
wears, and will be locs.ed at the "Narrows" near
that city. The whole amount of shell furnished
was one hundred and fifteen tons The vessel
was built under the direction of Robert L. Ste
.vens L, isabout four hundred feet in length,
with about fifty feet beam, being next to the lar
gest vessel Of which keel has yet been laid
Notwithstanding her great size, she will draw
but light amount of water. The hull Of the
vessel is built of iron plates, about three-fourths
OF an inch in thickness. nearly eight feet in
length and about two feet in width. They are
fastened togetherby rivets placed at about the
distance of an inch and half of each other
The rivets below the water.line are smooth-hea-

above the water-mark, protrude from the vessels

point. It is said. when completed, there will be
nine Shells Or plates Of iron, with space be-

thickness. Being sharp at the bow, she can be
used for cutting vessel in two. She was de-

sufficiently completed to be ready for use.

~ FEAR NOT, ABRAHAM,
AN THY SHIELD,
AND THY EXCEEDING GREAT REWARD.
THE GENERAL oUTPoURING.

If any doubt had previously existed of that
steady loyalty and law.abiding temper Of this
city, it is set at rest by the welcome which yes
terday greeted NJ. Lincoln. An immeasurable
outpouring of the people flooded the avenues
and streets through which the escort passed;
those untold and perhaps fabulous thousands of
idle aud starving workmen were, doubtless for
want of other employment, in curious attend
ance; and, in fact, New York may be said to
have waited in person upon the coming of the
future Chief Magistrate of the nation. And GER
tainy no welcome could have been more cordial
or respectful. The harmony of incessant cheers
was unbroken by indecent language, or gesture,
or act of violence. Along the protracted route
the President was encountered everywhere by
Indications Of the most earnest goodwill and
respect for his person, and for his high and mo-
mentous vocation; and if there lurked anywhere
those feelings of discomfort and malignity which
a portion of the City Press has been accustomed
to dilate upon, they had the rare courtesy to
mask themselves perfectly for this occasion.
