Interview with Lincoln.
A correspondent of the Missouri Democrat
gives the following particulars of a visit to
Mr. Lincoln:
I chose rather to be a listener than a talk
er, and paid careful attention both to Mr.
Lincoln's matter and manner, and although
he seemed to talk without regard to the fact
of his being the President elect, jet it was
discoverable that he cho&e his words and
framed his sentences with deliberation, and
with a discretion becoming his high position.
He was asked, "Doyou think the Missouri
Compromise line ought to be restored ?"
lie replied that although the recent Presi
dential election was a verdict ot the people
in favor of freedom upon all the Territories,
yet personally he would be willing, lor the
sake of the Union, to divide the Territory we
now own by that line, it in the judgment
of the nation it would save the Union and
restore harmony. But whether the acquisi-"
tion of territory hereafter would not re-open
the question and renew the strife, wus a '
question to be thought of, and in some way
provided against.
lie had been inquired of whether lie in
tended to recommend the repeal of the anti
Fugitive Slave laws of the States? He re
plied thnt he had never read one of them,
but that if they were of the character as
cribed to them by Southern men, they
certainly ought to be repealed. Whether as
President ol the United States he ought to
interfere witli State iegi>lation by Presiden
tial recommendation, required more thought
than iie had yet given the subject. He had
also been asked if he intended to interfere
or recommend an interference with slavery,
or the right of holding slaves in the duck
yards and arsenals of the United States??
His reply was, "Indeed, sir, the subject has
not entered my mind." He was inquired of
whether he intended to recommend the abo
lition of slavery in the District of Columbia?
to which he replied, "Upon toy word I have
uot given the subject a thought." A gen
tleman present said to him, "Well, Mr. Lin
coln, suppose these difficulties should not be
settled before you are inaugurated, what will
you do?'' He replied with a smile, "Well,
I suppose I will have to run the machine as
I find it."
Public Meeting.

THIRTY-SIXTH CONGRESS.
j | REPORTED FOR THE ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE. J
In Senate, Tuesday, Jan. 15.
Mr. Bayard presented a memorial of the
citizens of Delaware, without distinction of
! party, praying the passage of Mr. C'rit,en
den's resolutions.
lie said he should speak on these resolu
tions next week.
Mr. Seward presented the memorial of
i Samuel B. Morse, the illustrious inventor ot
| the Magnetic and Electric telegraph, pray
! irtg that Congress will grant an extension uf
! one of his patents which constitutes his title
| to property in that great invention. He asks
I the extension of one which expires the car
j liest in order, to protect his property. Ro
I ferred to the Committee on Patents.
Mr. Seward also presented the memorial
; of certain citizens of New York, concerning
! the state of the Union.
Mr. Kennedy presented the memorial of j
ccrtain citizens of Frederick county, Mary- j
land, without regard to party, asking the j
| adoption of Mr. Crittenden's propositions, j
Mr. Bigler presented eight memorials, !
i praying that the propositions in Mr. Critten- j
den's resolutions be submitted as amend- j
rnents to the Constitution fur the vote of the
people. Tabled for the present.
The hour of halt-past twelve o'clock hav
ing arrived?
The Chair called up the special order, be- j
ing Mr. Crittenden's resolution, with Mr. I
Clark's amendment, that the provisions of!
the present Constitution are ample for the I
preservation of all the interests of the coun
try, and that us no reconstruction would be
practicable, it was the duty of the Govern- j
ment to use all its power to maintain the I
present Union.
Mr. Green, of Mo., addressed the Senate j
in opposition to the amendment of Mr.
Clark, defending the right of secession. The
whole difficulty had grown out of a miscon
ception of our form of Government.
The hour of one o'clock, having arrived,
the Speaker called up the special order for
that hour, being the Pacitic Railroad bill.
Mr. Crittenden moved to postpone the
special order, with a view to continuing the
consideration of his resolution?which mo
tion was lost?yeas 21. nays 27, as follows:
Yeas.?Messrs. Benjamin, Uigler, Bragg, |
Bright, Clingmau, Crittenden, Fitch, Green, I
Hemphill, Johnson, of Term., Kennedy, i
Lane, Mason,Nicholson, Pearce, Polk, Pow-j
ell, Pugli, Rice, Saulsbury, Slidell?21.

Dixon, Doolittle, Durkce, Fessenden, Foot, j
Foster, Grimes, Gvvin, Hale, Harlan, King, i
Latham, Seward, Simmons, Sumner, Ten
lOyck, Trumbull. Wade, Wilkinson, Wilson
The Pacific Railroad bill was accordingly !
taken up. and the chair announced the pen I
ding question to be on the motion submitted j
some days since by Mr. Rice, of Minn . that j
the bill be indefinitely postponed.
J lie question no;nlt put tn uic oeuaie, me
motion was decided in the negative, bv a
vote ul'?yeas 12, nays .'J9.
Tim Chair announced the next pending
question to be the motion submitted some days
ago, by the Senator from .Minnesota, Mr.
Wilkersm?that the bill Ijp referred to a
select committee oi live members.
Mr. Rice, of Minn., advocated the amend
ment of his colleague. lit: thought that if
this bill was to pass, it should first be refer
red to a e immittec, to have it, shorn of its
objectionable features.
Mr. (J win, of Cal., said that this bill was
the only one which could pass this session
or, it might be, forever, and he therefore
supported it.
Mr. Line, of Oregon, was surprised to
see the most important measure of the day
and of the country overslaughed by this
bill. This was not the time for such a meas
ure. Justice to all sections of the Union
should be done tirsr.
Mr. (iwiu was as willing as any man on
the Hoor to do justice to the South, but he
thought that the Senators from the Pacific
coast .vhnuld stand on this floor to pour oil
upon the troubled waters, and not introduce
sectional questions into such discussions as
these.
Mr. Baker, of Oregon, did not believe that
this bill did justice to his section of the coun
try, but would vote for it.
Mr. Wilson said that he was surprised at
the Senator from Oregon, who seemed to have
been so affected by tiie recent election as to
be incapable of speaking upon any subject,
without abusing and misrepresenting the lie
publican party.
Mr. Lane said he always spoke the truth,
and called things by their right names, lie
had always advocated the rights of the States,
and he would do so as long as he lived.
Mr. Ten ftyck declared he could not vote
for the bill.
At the suggestion of Mr. Benjamin, Mr. j
\\ ilkerson withdrew his motion, and the Sen-1
aie proceeded to consider the amendment j
proposed by Mr. Bragg, of North Carolina.
Mr. Bragg addressed the Senate at length,
in defence of his amendment.
The debate was continued by Messrs. Sim
mons and Buker.
Mr. Lane moved to postpone the further
consideration of the bill, and make it the
special order for Thursday next.
Mr. (iwin expressed his determination to
stand by the Railroad bill, until it was dirt- i
posed of.
Mr. Crittenden rose to express an over- i
powering Mii prise at tiie indifference of Sen
ators, as to tlii! real condit on of the country, j
The nation reeled iike a drunken man amid i
the troubles, and yet the Senators seemed to !
have closed their eyes to the fact, and were I
here deliberating upon a road bill. "Let us
first." he said, "build up the Union, and |
then I will aid you in building a railroad." I
But until these questions were disposed of, j
he would vote for no railroad grant.
Mr. tir.-in regretted that the Senator from
Kentucky would vote against the bill, because
the Senate had decided upon an order of
business contrary to his wi&h. He, (Mr.
G ,) would vole for Mr. Crittenden's propo
sitions whenever they came up.
Mr. Crittenden again appealed to the Sen
ate on behalf t>f the Union. II ?w will the
country regard the Seriate, when it learned j
that it is indifferent to tiie very existence of
the Union.
The amendment of Mr. Bragg was agreed
to, as also an amendment prohibiting the !
Railroad Company from exercising Banking
business.'
O.her amendments were proposed, and
after considerable debate, at 4 o'clock, the
Senate adjourned.
House of Representatives.
The Speaker laid before the Ilouse a com
munication from the Secretary of the Inte
rior. in relation to Indian" affairs?referred.
Mr. Harris presented a voluminous report
from 12,('00 citizens of Bait more, of all po
litical creeds, praying for the passage of Mr.
Crittenden's resolutions?laid on tiie table.
The House then went into Committee oi
the "Whole on the Army bill.
Mr. Reagan, of Texas, being entitled ro
the floor, rose to address the House.
He said- that with the people of the South,
but two alternatives remained?either to
remain in the Union without their constitu
tional rights, or to go out of it, and stand
alone and aloof from the North. The X >rrh
have resisted all overtures on the part of
the South; and not only that, but have de
clared that they had no compromise to make,
and none to receive. lie spoke in the pre
sence of futurity, and declared that nobody
on the face of this earth was ever e,barged
with so great a responsibility as the Con
gress of the United States. He spoke
strongly, and in the most feeling manner,
in favor of secession, and upheld all the ac
! tiou of the sceeding Slates.
Mr. Stanton .-athat he had not the least
idea of saying anything when he entered
the llonse this morning, liui he must de
; lend the Methodist society from eha ges ad
i vanced against it by Mr. Reagan, and de
nounced the charge as a.ixl. The society
110 doubt believed that African slavery was
unwise, unchristian, and immoral, and it
was probable that wherever any members
might be found, they would be fouud to
carry their opinions with them. The speech
of the gentleman from Texas was rather ex
traordinary in the fact that when he siught
some measure of conciliation .from that side
of the House, he at the same time announc
ed to the political organization which elect
ed Mr. Lincoln, that this Union cannot he
preserved except by its disorganization, lie
was willing to vote for the provision which
was presented in the Committee of Thirty
three, which prohibited Congress from in
terfering with-slavery in the Territories, ex
cept by a vote of all the slave States.
Mr. Rusk, of Ark., said that he was one
of the Committee of Thirty-three, and that
the report made, and the propositions offer
ed by the gen leinan, who was chairman of
the Committee, were not the voice of the
Committee, and lie denied that they had
ever been before that Committee by a direct
vote, and those few of the propositions which
had been voted on, were utterly r< pudiated.
Mr. Stanton said that as it regarded the
one hundred thousand acres of land purchas
ed from Texas, he did not regard it as any
thing more than so much moonlight, and
that it was no favor in the State of Texas to
sell the land to the United States. The
seceding states had taken possession of the
forts and property of the Federal Govern
ment.'
Mr. Crawford said that the Governor of
Georgia had taken those forts and that if
the State went out by passage of the ordi
nance of secession she would be responsible
for what she bad done. If she remained,
the property of the government wouid be re
turned.
Mr. lliil said the forts were taken with
out the sanction of the Governor, but by a
band of unauthorized armed men.
Mr. Love and Mr. llordeman said that the
firts had been taken possession by the
Governor's order, and lor llie defence of the
state, but if the ore. a ti.ee of secession was
not pitsscd, the property would be delivered
up to the Federal Government.
After the conclusion of Mr. Stanton's
remarks, Mr. Adrain, of Xew Jersey, read
a speech, declaring that dissolution must
and should not rake place. lie said the
South were to blame for the election of Lin
coln, because they were divided, lie did
not consider the election of Lincoln suffi
eient cau.-e for disunion. The .Northern
States would repeal the obnoxious laws
which were on their statute books, and as
both houses of Congress were against the
President, he would he powerless ro do any
injury to the South, even if he wished to
do so.
Mr. Anderson, of Missouri, having ob
tained the Hour, spoke in favor of secession

I uh i is a .singular instance oi the evil effects

ago, hopelessly crazed by the i nordinaic use
j ul tobacco, in ail i:s forms, and was, fur a
! long time. closely ????tilined and prevented
i from using the noxious weed. She, however,
j became so much more wild and unman

i tu allow her, as an experiment, a limited
quantity of t tbaeco. Under this treatment

I engaged in doing housework at the jail, and
in the family of the jailor, being looked upon
as quite harmless, though we understand
there is no hope of her ultimate recovery.
She is only about twenty-one years of age,
and by no means repulsive in personal ap
pearance. or would not be if she were to let
tobacco alone. She chews a considerable
amount of tobacco daily, and smokes cigars
whenever she can get tiicin, as tbi.-y are not
furnished to icr. This is certainly a singular

LEGISLATURE OF VIRGINIA.
Richmond, -Jan. 15.?In the Senate, Mr*
Xc-al offered the following:
Whereas, the sending of reinforcements
; to the forts arid arsenals of irginia has
I caused uneasiness, and is a source ot dis
; quietude to the citizens of the Comuaon
! wealth, therefore
Resolved, That the President of the Upi
! ted States be respectfully requested to in
| form the Governor the object ot the General
| Government in sending increased forces
? aforesaid: and whether, in his opinion, the
| object of the erection of said strongholds
J for the defence of the property of V irginia
is likely to be realized. It lies over.
Mr. Patterson offered a joint resolution,
to appoint R. M. T. Hunter, Wm. C. llives,
John J. Alien, and George W. Summers,
Commissioners, to coi respond with the gov
ernments of all the States, to ascertain on
i what terms, if any, the present Union can
| be preserved; and, if it cannot, then upon
j what terms, and with what States, a new
! Confederacy can be formed-, which will se
i cure the people of Virginia in the full en
| joy merit of their rights; acd report the re
j suit to the State Convention.
j The Alabama Commissioners addressed
| the Legislature, to-day, and their remarks
j were well received.
FROM WASHINGTON.
1 THE GAZETTE'S SPECIAL DESPATCH.
Washington. -January 15.?The determi
nation of the Republicans to take no steps
themselves in the matter of compromise and
| to allow no one else to do so ha* now become
| quite evident. Even Mr. Crittenden to-day
! seemed to despair of getting even a vote
j upon his propositions.
| It is understood here that the South Caro- j
j iina agents now here, demand the uncondi- j
tional evacuation "f Fort Sumter, with a
view to avoid the shedding of blood. The
Administration have not yet considered the
J proposition.
? i
Gov. Curtin's Inaugural.
'
IIarrisiiukg -January 15.?Gov. Curtin's i
; inaugural was delivered this morning, lie
' pledges himself to stand between the Con
stitution and all encroachments instigated j
j bv hatred or ambition, fanaticism or tolly, j
j He says the election of the president hasb ;en I
i made a pretext for disturbing the peace of)
the country by wresting from the 1'e eral j
Government the powers which the people j
confered on it when the Constitution was
adopted. There has been nothing in the j
life or acts of Mr. Lincoln to warrant the j
excitement, Blinded in their judgment, a j
part of the people are now precij i-ating them- :
selves into a revolution. ^ j
lie savs if Pennsylvania has any laws in- j
i fringing on the rights of any state, that con- i
! traveue any federal law, or abstruct their j
i execution, they ought to lie repealed. Penn- j
I sylvania has never faltered in the recogni
i tion of al! the duties imposed by the Na
! tiorotl compact, arid will, by every act con
sistent with devotion to the interests of her i
people, promote fraternity and peace be
tween the States. When trade was pros
trate, and industry paralyzed by adverse
legislation by the General Government, j
Pennsylvania waited patiently. No voice j
spoke disloyalty or treason, and no arm was j
raised to strike at the sacred fabric of the !
Union.
It will be our duty to unite with the peo- j
pie of the loyal States in just and honorable i
measures for conciliation. 11 they are just j
and moderate, the danger may be averted.
Ours is a National Government, having j
all the attributes of sovereignty. Among j
these is the right of self preservation.?
No State or combination of States can se
cede nor absolve themselves from the obli
gations of the Union. Pennsylvania will
never aetjniesec in such a conspiracy, nor
assent to doctrines involving the destruction
| of the Government. If it is to exist it must j
! have power adequate to the enforcement of j
i the Supreme law in every State. It is the j
1 lir*t duty of the federal government to stay j
| the progress of anarchy, enforce the laws, j
i and Pennsylvania will <iive it a united, lion- j
! est and faithful support; The people mean j
I to preserve the Union at every hazard.
