LINCoIN's RECEPTION IN PHILADEIPHIA--AN-
OTTER TURBULENT Mon Our neetoors Of the
City OF Brotterly Love are unfortunate in their
attempts at public receptions. In New lork
ana other large cities great masses OF the pe0-
pie can turn out on exciting occasions and con-
duct themselves IN an ord,Ily fashion; but in
lihe circumstances in Philadelphia, that ssaid
Quaker city, gathering OF the masses gene
rally resolves itself into mob. When the ia
panese were there the conduct of the people
was disgracelul, and was hardly cycelled by
that OF The famous ruwdIes of Baltimore. AT
the reception OF The Prince of Wales things
were not much better. During Mr.. L,ncolu's
visit On Thursday the Philadelphians made "a
sad bluhder of the affair The confusion in the
streets was more like Bedlam let loose than
an orderly reception of q distinguished person
age According to the reports. members of the
Presidents suite were hauled out Of their car
risges without ceremony, through the bunders
Of the managing committee. Poor OLD Abe was
left sitting in al open barouche ID the cold
until he was half frozen to death, before the
procession could b. got to move; aod when b.
attempted to mase speech not word could
be distinguished above The clsmorous cries OF
the multitude.
Our Philadelphia friends, 10 short, treated
the President elect about as roughly Us ne was
served in Buffalo. 1t is very curious that the
usually quiet aud tame Inhabitants Of the Qua.
ker City cannot behave themselves decently
under little excitement.

PRoGEEss OF THE SOUTHERN CoxFEDERAcY.-
We publish to-day very interesting account
Of the progress of the Southern Confe-
deracy including the Inauguration of Pre-
sidtnt Davis, the utterance Of his SEN
timents to the people, and the proceed
iDgs Of the Congress ut Montgomery up to the
twelita dsy. Thus far the Southern Contede-
racy has borne itself calmly and with dignity,
constructing its government on an apparently
firm busis, and conducting all its operations
with GOODNESS and an evident tendency to
moderation and peace. Ithas adopted constitu-
ton with which nobody, either North or South,
appears to find fault. In its presiding officers
two men have been chosen-Mr. Davis and Mr.
S,epheLs-who, although resolute in character,
are not violent or precipitate. The language
OF President Davis, as will be seen by our re-
port Of his aadress, breat,es peace and desire
TOR friendly relations between the governments
and people North and South In the selection
OF Cabinet, 100, much wisdom has bee, dis
played. the extremists and fire-eaters nlying
been carefully excluded. Even Mr. Io,ubs,
the Sc crctaIy OF State although considered by
macy very violent in his opinions, was in favor
Of the perpe'naiion Of the Union, provided suf
tlc:ept guarantees We're given for the protection
of the South. Some such plan as that eGl-
bodied in tie Cr;ttender- Guthrie resolutions,
for example, would be satisfactory to him,
while Mr Momnnger, Of South Carolina, ne
Secretary Of the Treasury, represents ii, Union
sentiment OF that State, us far as it can be said
to exist ut all within its borders Upon the
whole. then. the progress of the Confederated
States Of America in the formation OF their 20
verpment has been marked by good deal OF
fiji mnss s., de cision and moderation combined,
from which we argue that if spirit of hos
tli,y should arise between the two sections Of
the country it will not emanate from them.
