It begins to be but ton probable, that the whole
comse of the so-called conservative leaders of the
republican party, w ithin the last tincc months,
baa been a fraud and cheat, from beginning to
end There would appear to bare been a .lehhe; -
ate double gain.; going •>•>. since the middle ot
November. to consolidate the sentiment of the
N 'rth. by circulating false, incendiary and irritat
ing reports from the South, while, at the "time
time, delusive hopes and expectations have been
h :d out to the border States, in order to gain
time and money. No political school has ever
shown itself less scrupulous in employing means
to retain political power, than that to which Mr.
Si ward has been affiliated ; but both sagacity and
ammtion. seemed to point so directly towards a
straight forward, patriotic and generous policy,
,n the present crisis, that the peop.e of the coun
try have been perfectly wi.ling to “let bygone* be
bygones," and have reposed confidence in him,
tor nearly r» whole month. It was for the first
time, and, if it really proves that he has disappoint
ed them, it will proiiably be the last.
From tbe beginning °f disturbances in South
Carolina, the Albany Emin? Journal, justly re-
g ir.led as the especial organ of Mr Setvard, adopt
ed a tone of moderation, different from any it had
previously used, and bearing the impress of a de-
t, riaination loyi.-id so much of republican dogma,
as should be requisite to satisfy the demands of
the Sooth. In Mr. Seward's speech to the Sen
ate, of tile l^!h of January, he more than endorsed
tne sentiments of his friend Mr. Weed. He said
that the very name “republicanism, was subordi
nate to, and onghi to disappear, in the presence of
the great question of the Union.’' Ili.s advocacy
of a National Convention was unqualified, and lie
declared that “whatever sacrifices, private or pub
lic. should be needed, would be made.” “Woe to
the man,’’ he exclaimed, “that shall madly lift bis
hand against the Union Men in after times shall
declare that this gene-atiou, which saved it from
such sudden and uaiookeii for dangers, surpassed
in magnanimity even that one which laid its foun
dations in the eternal principles of liberty, justice
and humanity.” And with respect to coercive
measures, he said :—“I dread, as in my innermost
soul I abhor c.vil war. I do not kuow wbat the
Union would be worth if saved by the use of the
sword'' Acts gave additional potency to these
words, and. at a later period, we find the New
York Senator on the very eve of lining denounced
as a traitor by Senator Fessenden of Main-, be
cause of his overt committals to the cause of con
ciliation. He carefully fostered the Peace Confer
ences. and was undrstood to be taciily pledged to
llji |(* by tllf-T decisions■ i he Allcicd UJUt: ol Ul.
Lincoln's speeches, from the time he arrived at
Hnffalo, was also attributed to the remonstrances
of his future Premier, and buoyant hopes began to
he entertained of a speedy reconstruction of the
Union, and of a satisfactory settlement of our na
tional difficulties.
Within four short days all this has changed.
T he minority resolution of the .Senators from New
York and Illinois, oil the question of the adoption
of the Franklin scheme of adjustment, which it
w»« believed they would support, had the effect (
upon the public miud of a thunderclap. The
speeches of men like E r President Tyler and oth- ;
rs at the Richmond Convention, show that the iin- j
mediate result was to shatter confidence in the
border Slates, and to convince the people of Vir- j
giriia North Carolina, Maryland and Arkansas, |
th t they had been unwarrantably trifled w ith, j
Indeed, the latest account* render it highly prob- ;
able tint all of these States will now secede. Up- j
on the heels of this incomprehensible action of ■
Messrs. Seward and Trumbull, came the intelli
gence that the former had accepted Chase, of j
Ohio, a turbulent deraag -gne. as a colleague in |
the Cabinet; had compounded matters with the j
abolitionist fanatics ; and that coercion plans :
were in the ascendant. It is now asserted that
Forts Snniter and Pickens will be reinforced, ini- 1
mediately alter the 4lh of March : that tile South- |
rrn ports will be blockaded and the revenue col- |
lected at all hazards; that the inaugural will he
made up of platitudes, with no further effort at pa
cification than a re-omniendation of Corwin’s res-
tlieu began to move, and French and his marshals,
with their dirty scarfs, seemed to he a little more
alive, but even now, instead of clearing the way
for tiie Presidential cortege, they rather followed
it, and left the “flaitlingtary” the duty of keeping
the multitude in order. The J unices of the Sit
ptenie Court, the diplomatic body in their several
carriages, »Vc . followed, then a triumphal car, of
course w ith thirty.four young ladies all in white
waving star spangled banners, with tne Bepuhli
call Association, of this District, broaght up the
fear. There certainly was a great crowd for
Washington, but that was all. It was the most
spiritless, indeed absolutely the meanest “proces
siou” I ever witnessed, and yet it should be the
grandest and most imposing ceremony that tin
ivhole earth could furnish. I cannot get rid of
tiie feeling that I am witnessing a fun-ml or some
thing ot that kind. Even the glorious Hail Co
lumbia, nor indeed the great wide awake Dixie,
by the several bands, can infuse life or spirit in
the affair. Except the people from a distance,
who never before witnessed aa iuanguration, and
ar<- therefore curious to see this, the multitude are
listless and indifferent, indeed most of the faces in
the crowd are sad or sulien, as if some great ca-
iatniiy or some great wrong were suddenly indict
ed on them. And it is perfectly natural that they
should feel so. The people of this District and the
surrounding country are profoundly national and
Union-loving, and though mainly of Virginia of
Maryland birth, they have little or none of that
State pride so strong in the people from the South.
They literally know no North, South. East or
West—nothing but the Union, and the glorious
old flag of the Republic; aud to see this surren
dered to sectionalists, to those who have never de
fended it, who have opposed all the wars the na
tion has ever engaged in, and actually sympathiz
ed with British and Mexicans against their own
country, and immeasurably and inexpressibly
more bitter still, who avow a design to degrade it
to the level of free negroism—to witness all this
may well depress and dishearten the people of this
District. Still, they hope for the returning rea
son of the North, and that better days and bright
er scenes will yet dawn upon the metropolis
founded by Washington. Like the people of the
border States, they will doubtless bear much, but
they trill not p -rmit an Abolitiou government in
this District, and if Lincoln, guided by Chase and
his niggerite crew. attempts it, or takes one step
towards carrying theirdoctrine into practice, what
ever the eonsjqnences to themselves, they will
drive the blind fanatics clear across Mason and
Dixon’s line beyond all doubt.
The feeling of appreliensi m among the Repub
licans—perhaps I may call it cowardice—quite
equals the depression and anxiety of the people ol
the District. Aside from the large body of regu
lar troops here, Ihe police are every where. Wil-
liard’s Hotel is full of them, even the saloons and
ladies’ parlors, and from early this morning guards
have been stationed at all the avenues leading in
fo the city, while others are placed ou the roofs of
i houses on hath sides of the avenue, for fear that
i some one will shoot Lincoln with that terrible air
| gun so much talked about. B it it is all safely

prosperity of the republic.
If Mr. Seward has been sincere in liis ntterances |
to the country, hitherto, he should prove it by a i
proper display of moral courage aud persistence |
now. lie should net consent to remain in the
Cabinet under present auspices. He will cover j
biinseif with ignominy if he does so, and sink i
from the highest to the lowest position in the scale |
of American Statesmen. He should take exam- j
pie from his rivals of the Greeley, Fessenden, J
Sumner school, who never yield. and are untiring- *
lv indn-frions in carrying out their ends. Look
at the impostures they have practised on the peo
ple of the nuti slavehoUiug States, within two
months, in order to keep sectional feeling in a
blaze. First came the story of burning negroes.
It was adhered to. in spile of every refutation, uu-
til it bad produced its full effect upon the public
mind. Then tale succeeded tale, of tariiugs aud
featherings and torturings, practised upon North
erners by slaveholders, in which every circum
stance was added, which con id lend plausibility
to falsehood. Major Anderson was asserted tube
starving, in sight of the plenteous markets of
Charleston, at tita moment when he was being
abundantlv supplied with provisions. The minds
of our meerhaitts were acted on by property seiz
ures, intended to elicit retaliations, which should
incense those wiiose goods or vessels had been
sequestrated. The assissination dodge of Fouche
Kennedy and his myrmidons, added to the ter-
nient.
There is yet time for Mr. Seward to retrace his
later steps. The people already condemn hiin,

Romance of Life.
The New Y’ork correspondent of the Buffalo
Commercial Advertiser tells a strange story,
whose denouncement has recently’ hcen accom

man was obliged by pecuniary disaster to leave

Later from Washington,
W SSHIXATON, March 4th, 1861.
I have just witnessed the departure of Presi
dent Buchanan aud President elect Lincoln from
the side entrance of Williard’s Hotel, on their way
to the Capitol to inaugurate the latter. The
“millingt-.ry” of the District were drawn up on
both sides of the Avenue, with the marines, dra-
groons and others of the regular army, on the
right, which, of course, brought them nearly down
to Brown’s. A great crowd was collected ou the
square in front of Willi.ird's, and rspec.ally on the
corner, while the balconies and windows of that
hotel were full of ladies. The Marshals, under
the general superintendence of Major Ben French,
who, alter boxing the political compass for twenty
years, lias at last sought abetter in the ranks of
anti-shiv*-rydom, were miserably mounted, aud
either through fear of the crowd or for some other
cause, left it to block up the passage way. so that
even the Presidential carriage was, with great
difficulty, driveu un to the door. At last, howev
er. a way was made for it, and Mr. Buchanan,
ar.n and arm with Mr Lincoln, came forth. A
feeble—a very teeble—cheer greeted them, but
whether intended tor the venerable and imposing
form of President Buchanan, or the long, lank,
ungainly figure of Mr. Lincoln, it is imprssibfo
to say. Mr Buchanan, with tho grand air and
courtly grace that so eminently distinguish him,
took off his hat and kept it in his hand until be
was seated, but Mr. Lincoln stood bolt up-iight.
