SPEECH FROM LINCoLN-THE ELECTION
NEWS IN WASHINGTON.
The Abolition clubs of Washington
went to Lincoln's White House on
Thursday evening, and, after firing off a
cannon, proceeded to hurrah, etc, until
the Gorilla came out and made the fol
lowing speech:
1t has long been a grave question whether any
government not too strong for the liberties u the
people can be strong enough TO maintain It's own ex
lstence in great emergencies On this point the pre-
sent rebellion brought Republic TO severe test,
and a Presidential election, occurring IN regular
course during the rebellion, added not little TO the
strain II the loyal people, united, were put to the
utmost OF their strength by the rebellion, must they
not fail VIXEN divided and partially paratyzed by d
political war among themselves! But the election
was necessity. We cannot have free govern.
ment without elections; and if the rebellion could
force us 10 forego postpone national election,
might fairly claim to have already conquered and
ruined us. The strife of tis election Is but human
nature practically applied to the facts OF the case
What has occurred in this case innst ever reeur IN
similar cases. Human nature will not change In
any future great national trial. compared with the
men of this, shall have weak and as strong, a.
silly and as wise as bad and good. Let there
FORE study the incidents Of this, philosophy 10
learn wisdom from, and none cf them as wrongs to
be revenged. Cheers.
But the election, along With its incidental and
undesirable strife, has dons good too. II has de-

The Senate did nothing Of general inlpor-
tancc to-day.
In the House bill was introduced to
amend section 2, cl,nptcr 60, Laws Of '64, so
as to better provide for raising money to pay
bountics to volunteers in cities and incorpo-
rated villages; also, q memorial to Congress
for change in the Law aiding the construc-
ton Of rai1road and telegraph line to tue
Pacific.
Most Of the session was occupied in the dis
cussion Of bill 60 modifying the interest law
as to make valid contracts for money where
usuIy is taken, so far as the principal is con-
ce1ned; making the forfeiture extend only to
interest, aud still leaving that provision Of
the statute in force nllowlng the recovery OF
three times the .usury tnken as d penalty.
After lengthy debate the bill WIS postponed
fer two weeks, and the House adjourned till
Monday evening.

FROM C0LUM BUS,


COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb II, 1861
This has hecn the most quiet week Of the
present session of the legislature. The
copperheads have been unusually mum.
Perhaps 1t is only the calm that prccedes the
storm, for the Unionists are ready to meet
them and all their disloyal schemes.
Strong efforts have been made by certain
parties to have the legislature nominate Lin
coin for reelection to the presidency. 9th
ers have been actively at work for similar
movement in favor Of Chasc, The members
however have decided among themselves, af-
ter giving the matter T. thorough eonsidcra-
tion, to nominate no one.
Towards the end Of the session resolu-
ton strongly endorsing Lincoln's administra-
tion will be adopted. It is understood here
among parties who claim to be well posted,
that Chase will withdraw at the proper time
This, however, does not come from his init
mate friends. The new church movement,
as we'll as its Inauguration and high priest
Olds has about played out. Ditto the Vallan-
digham fund.
The copperhead convention to be held here
on the 2sd Of next month Will not be very
harmonious. Vallandighammers and the an
i-Vallandighammcrs are almost at swords
points, A lively occasion may be expected.
Recruiting in this State is progressing ia
yorably. Several more Ohio regiments have
rr.cnlfsted almost entire. The 43d and 6Gth
Ohio. and other regiments, have already re-
4nrned to the front or arc en- route. 4 day or
