Lincoln making a triumphal journey to Washington. He is svery- where greeted by the largest and most enthoiiaatie crowds that ever assembled to welcome a President. lie ha made a nnmbf of short speeches, nsnally hav ing a local application bnthe occasionally hints at national affairs, givingslight inklings of hit views upon important matters. Traitors cannot find mnch con tolation in them, and it is edifying to hear them howl. Mr.

Lincoln is by this time noaring the Federal Capital. The investizstinir committeo on the contemplated invasion of the Capital have not elicited anything definite, and the secessionist are again deman ding the withdrawal of the troops. If they have no evil designs in view, why are they so anxious for the removal of the troops 7 Their presence doe not dfs-commode honest people. The Union men have a large majority in the Virginia Convention that is, they arc Union men if the North knocks under. Union has triumphed in Tennessee, by 50,000 majority.

Only two Secessionists are eleeted to the Convention, and the proposition for holding a Convention has been voted down by 20,000 majority. Andy Johnson's County (Greene) went almost unanimous against a Con vention. Threats aro nonr being made to assassinate Gen. Scott. The nominations of Black and Pettit are not yet confirmed, and there ii a hopeful prospect that they will not be.

The electoral votes were peaceably counted on Wednesday, the 13th and Lincoln and Hamlin declared eleo-ted. This fact was telegraphed to Mr. Lmcoln, at Columbus, Ohio. The Kentucky Legislature has adjourn ed to the 20th of March, without calling a Convention. There has been an immense Union meeting at Memphis, the hot-bed of treason in Tennessee.

It is rumored that the Cherokee Indians have seized Fort Gibson. The reported seizure of the Arsenal at Little Rock, Arkansas, is contradicted Since, Seward's last speech, prominent Republicans are remonstrating against his appointment to a Cabinet office. If Seward does not explain away tome of his utterance, it is not improbable that Mr. Lincoln will drop him, without waiting for remonstrances. The Seceding States talk of levying an export duty on Cotton.

The "wind" must be raised, and there is no other way to do it than to fleece the citizens at very turn. Gov. Brown, of Georgia, has seized five merchant vessols belonging to New York, in retaliation for the seizure of Georgia arms in the latter city. The Peace Conferanoe at Washington ass not yet come to a "head." A series of propositions have been offered, which the North will not accept. "Stormy sessions" are reported, which do not augur favorably.

It is thought that the Conference will end in a recom mendation for a National Convention. The Southern Convention, at Mont gomery, Alabama, have formed a Pro visional Government for a Southern Con federacy, and unanimously elected Jeff. Davis President, and Alexander H. Stephens Vice President, for one year. The contiiltnl Secessionists of Louisi ana have resetted that it is impossible for a single State to effect postal arrangements, and that they therefore still recognize this branch of the Central Government at Washington Craig, of North Carolina, the other day offered a resolution in the Home reo-ogniiing the independence of the Southern Confederacy.

Farnsworth, of Illin ois, moved that the resolution be referred to the Committee on Patents Gov. Andrew, of Massachusetts, has tendered to the President 268 regiments of troops, ready to march at a moment's warning to defend the Capital and enforce the laws. A furious snow storm swept over the East, some two weeks since. It is rumored that the Tehuantepec route will shortly be re-opened. No attack, as yet, on Fort Sumter.

Leading secessionists are striving to prevent it for the time being. A bill is before the 8enate, to bnild seven steam sloops of war. The Johnson and Wigfall difficulty has been adjusted. Judge John C. Wright, of Ohio, formerly editor of the Cincinnati Gazette; and at one time a member of Congress, uiau-st umngion, a lew aays ago.

He was one of the Ohio Commissioners to the- Peace Convention. A subscription is being raised in Virginia, to purchase the birth-place of Gen. Scott, in Dinwiddie County. It is reported that a resolution will be offered in the Virginia Convention, re- We learn that the "family pa-questing Senators Mason and Hunter to per" over in Oregon, has engaged tlw resign, their seats, upon the ground that their seceesioniim does not represent the irnc sentiments of Virginia. Inrestigstions hare convicted Got.

Floyd of being a most villainous thief. It is said that, shortly before resigning, ho remitted 8120.000 in specie to his home in Virginia. The President has issued a proclamation for an extra session of the Senate, on the 4th of March. There has been cremendonc flood in i he Hudson River, overflowing a considerable portion of Albany. Senator Green recently made the refreshing assertion that Kansas wants to secede and that, as soon as Northern emigration stops, she will fall hack into the arms of Missouri Green will not live to see it? The New York vessels have been given np by iGov.

Brown, of Georgia. The Georgia arms are still retained by Mr. Kennedy, Superintendent of the New York Police, who refuses to give them np. Arms destined for Alabama" have also been seized. It is alleged that De Jarnette, of Virginia, has stolen a large number of vol umes from the Congressional Library.

He is a secessionist, of course Fort Piokens has been reinforced by 150 troops. The California' Legislature had not, at latest dates, elcoted a United States Senator. Gov. Wise denies having anything to do with the conspiracy against the Capital. Kellogg, of Illinois, who has announced his willingness surrender Republi can prineiples to Satisfy traitors, is being roughly handled by the papers of that particularly the Chicago Tribune.

Med ill, editor of the Tribnne, had a fracas with Kellogg, at the National Hotel, in Washington, on the 15th. Medill was knocksd down, when ths parties were separated. It is reported that the New York Ban kcrs, in December, informed the Presi dent that they wonld not take the Gov eminent loan unlets Seeratary Thomas was discharged, and a Union man ap pointed in his stead. The Convention of the Southern Confederacy have voted a loan of and made arrangements for fifty regiments of troops to take the field. How far will 816.000,000 go in sustaining fifty regiments of troops Besides, it is an easy matter to vote a loan, bnt obtaining it is another thing.

Guess they will get it by robbing the United States and their own citizens The Senate amendment to the Pacific RaiIroadbill, making the mouth of the Kansas River a starting point, has been stricken out by the House. St. Jo. crowe over it, but the end is not yet. Relief Mattirs.

Thaddens Hyatt is oatehing it from all sides, in consequence of the high-strung sensation despatches, come half a dozen or more in number, which he recently sent to different par ties in the Bast. We should regret to see anything done which would have the effect of preventing the oharitable from contributing toward the relief of the needy people of Kansas but Hyatt has greatly overdone the business. His despatches bear exaggeration n'pon their face, and will be productive of mistrust rathsr than of good. A simple, honest statement would have answered the purpose more effectually. Mnoh dissatisfaction exittc with regard to the relief business.

It is alleged that Immense sums of money have been contributed, and no plausible statement has been made as to its outlay. Some say that it is "goobled up" by agents, clerks, and committees of the Relief Association; while others intimate that it is being appropriated toward furthering the oanse of certain men for the Senatorship. Theee are grave charges.and we find them in Republican as well as in Democratic papers. Those interested shenld at ones make a full and unequivocal statement of moneys received and expended. It is dne to their own reputation, and to those persons who have so generously contrib uted ths fnnds.

JV Persons who attsnded the election over in Holt, en Monday, report a singu- Isr phenomenon. A certain scribbler, (rendered classieal in a recent acrostical poem,) who was never before seen with hie eyes mora than half open, nor to move faster than a "snail's gallop," when any measure was on foot for the benefit of the community or the good of the public, seemed infused with wonderful energy and activity in the cans of destroying the Union and the Government, and, incredible as it may appear, it is said that he several times was seen to have his eyes wide open I Gueee we'll have to demand the "papers" for that kW Godey'a Lady's Book, for March, is illustrated with a superb smrraviacr.

8sward madelMonir. Rtsoumoirs. The prevailing a speech in the 6onate. January Slst, in politieal excitement has been the means which he declared that tne question on Slavery in the Territories waa settled by the admission of Kansas, and signfied his willingness to Jiscard the Chicago rialform, and go in on the Union-saving bnsineas. His dssire to save ths Union ia a commendable me but how stsnda the matter Several'fltates have rebelled; while others have chosen members of Conventions, who are all ready to go to work, and now demand that certain measnres be complied with, or they will take their States out of the Union also In'the face of treason andthreaU.

Seward becomes frightened, and agrees to disband the party of which hs is the reputed leader, and to surrender the platform of principles for which he spoke so -elo quently, during the lata Presidential cam paign. He cannot get off by means of the Kansaa dodge for at the time when he made the speeches, Kansas waa ac knowledge to be secured to Freedom, be yond the possibility of a doubt. And again ths Chiesgo Platform demanded the admission of Kansas with the Wyandotte Coaaiitwtion and ia addition, laid down certain prineiples, aside from the Kansas issue, pledging the party to labor for their success. Seward declared that platform to be his, as nnexception-ably as if ha had made it himself. After the party has triumphed npon the issues thsrein pressnted, and one of its ob- leots.

which waa at tbe time deemed a foregone consummation, has been carried ont, Mr. Seward now pronounces ths mission of the party ended, and wants the balance of the great issues thrown away, because the opponents of ths par ty are not satisfied with the result I When treason mnst be cnecked by succumbing to the traitors and when such a msn as Seward consents to surrender principles whish he hu pronounced right eons, just and constitutional, and have been so declared by the verdict of the people, we may well lose faith in poll tioians, and in the power of the Govern ment. Mr. Seward acted with the Whig par ty nntil it triumphed then he set about destroying it, and building up another, of which he should be acknowledged the leader. The Republican party, having preferred another man for the Presidency above him, is he bent npon destroying that also Mr.

Lincoln has been chosen President, and haa appointed Mr. Seward to the Premiership in his Administration. The policy recently foreshadowed by the latter, if followed ont, will have the effect of destroying the par ty which elected Lincoln, leaving the Administration no snpport in Congress, and rendering it a failure. The country mnst now look to Linooln himself. If he still holds to' the principles npon which hs was elected, how csn he retain Seward at tbe head of hie Administration It may be, that the latter will come in opportunely with another speech, finely worded and polished as he only can render it, explaining away all the knotty points, and showing that he is still sound.

Bnt powerful though he be, and idolized as he is by thonssnds of Republicans, he will discover that he cannot toss ths party about and tamper with its principles at his will. Ah Ixsoxt. It is common, in these times, to oompare the Disunion traitors to Benedict Arnold. This is a downright insult to the memory of Arnold, snd dose too mnch honor to the traitors. It must be remembered that Arnold was treated harshly in several respects; and also, that at that time the Colonies were fighting for a form of government of which they knew nothing, never having experienced its hlsssings.

The traitors of ths present day have all their lives on-joyed the privileges snd blessings of onr free government, and onght to appreciate its value. They have grown np under its protection, and now seek to overturn it simply becaase a man has been elected to the Presidency as Wsshingtoa and Jefferson were, according to the Constitution which hss existed from the commencement of, the Government Benedict Arnold was not as deserving of infamy as are the disnnionists. Aaron Burr's crime was insignificant wbsn compared to that of the present day. Judas Iscariet was not ss vile a wretch aa they, for his treason was ordered so to be, for the salvation of man. There are excuses for Jndas, for Arnold, and for Burr; bnt for tbe disnnionists, none Frequently we come across an item, stating that a paper hu been started here or there, or such and such a pa per has changed hands, for the purpose or oecoming tne organ or- tcis man or that.

Up to 'the boor of going to press, ws have reoeived bo returns of the Missouri election, except from Holt County, where the Union ticket has about 175 majority. All manner of imposition, skullduggery, false, hood, misrepresentation and fraud waa resorted to by tbe Disnnionists, which gava them a much larger rota than anticipated. which othsrwiss wonld have remained in obscurity and we occasionally come across something unique ia the way of Resolutions. We have bee informed of a Un ion meeting recently held in Missouri, at which a set of resolutions were offered by a committee appointed for the purpose, the first three of which were, in substance. aa follows "Resolved, That we wholly ignore all party lines and distinctions, and labor for the preservation of onr Union.

It is the organ of the Printers of the United 6tates, and is an honor to the craft. The only wonder to nc is, how the pub lishers can afford it for the low price of 81 a year. Bnt they have now started an enterprise which will eclipse anything ever before attempted. Ac soon as 5, 500 subscriptions are forwarded for the Printer, accompanied by 81 each, if before the 1st of May next, a new, complete and splendid. Job Printing Office, valued at 81,000) will be awarded to one of the number, by some fair and honorable plan, to be decided npon by disinterested persons.

No subscriptions are desired tor this scheme, except those of practical printers. Each subscriber stands an equal chance for the prize, and those who fail, will still receive more than their money'e worth, as the Printer is worth more than that amount. Sand in your orders, without dslay, to Henry it reason, New York City. What a pity it ie that there are not half a dozen fat offices for every politician in Kansas. Individuals who were not satisfied until they were elected to State, District or Legislative offices under the Constitution, are now grabbing for more.

There is scarcely one who does not want to be United Slates Senator, or receive some snug office from the coming Administration. From present prospects, the choice of United States Senators and the Kansas appointments will be apportioned ont by dickering and trading influence. Please, gentlemen. don't act the hog; there are other persons who have done quite as much work for the party as yon, but probably less for themselves. Samtlx Sscisbiovibts.

A friend, who has been making observations in Missouri, says that within a given scope of country he found but two secessionists. Both have ample cause to desire a separation from the faithless North. One of them owns the undivided one-fifth part of a toothless nigger, who likewise is crazy, and is disabled from paralysis. The other owns, in fee simple, two darkies one of them being a superannuated female, long minus ons eye'r and, to add to her attractions, the remaining eye was de stroyed, a few days ago, by being strnok with a snow-ball.
