Ar.ong the incidents was the friendly recognition. *« Why, how are you, John,” by the P: esident of Mr. Jobn Hanks, for whom he once split rails. Mr. Hanks is a elderly man, who bas come to the city with no idea of seeking office, but merely for the purpose of oe the inauguration of his old friend. He wears a lengthy white beard and has a full ruddy face, and is dressed ina suit of common grey clothes. He seemed to be the hap- piest man in the whole crowd. In the crowd we noticed a Virginian of rather extreme Sonthern views, who cffiolated quite prominently on the occasion of the “inking” of a young man who voted for Mr. Lincoln, in Fairfax county. Upon leaving the Presiden’ House, the Virginian expressed himself as being much pleased with the ance and manner of the President. After paying their respects to Mrs Lincoln, the delegation formed outside and proceeded to Gen.

During the — and Freetings the General seemed much fected, and at times could hardly suppress his tears The delegations were then dismissed, with in- structions fo meet at the hotel at 7 o’clock for further calls. About 8 o'clock the delegation again met, and proceeding to the residence of Gov. Seward. were courteously invited into his parlors. The delegation being very large, only a Portion were able to enter at one time, so those who — in the rear took their turn as the van out. Mr. Arnold, in hort speech, congratulated Mr. Seward upon bis appointment to the Cabinet, and the peaceful inauguration of the President. Mr. Seward expressed his — in welcom- ing them to his house, and at being able to assure them tbat they had a Government. In the struggle through which they were passing they should forget all sectionalism, and, uniting upon the firm basis of the Const{tution, maintain the Gov- ernment at all hazards. He hoped that all the % 8 bom common in- terest and common brotherhodd, and that they would be restored to the quiet, peace, and pros- tity of the past. He was determined to stand y the Constitution and the laws. and he felt confident that if the hour of need did come the men of the West would rally and sustain the Government. If there had ever been any rival laterests between Iilinoisand New York, be hoped that they had been forgotten. For himself, he was determined that in whateve: Preservation 3 1eved this could be done peacefully, and it should be done So if it was possible. The delegation were then personally introduced to Mr. Seward by Hon. Mr. Lovejoy, and after a few social words, they took up the Wee of march forthe Rugby House, to call upon Gov.

He reviewed the rise and progress of secession, and Pah pape the crimi- nality of some of the Cabinet. regarded the inaugural address as the best State paper ever issned He urged them to sustain the President, d if they would, he would soon restore the country to its former position. ‘Phey had no Government a few days ago, but they had one now, and it must and should be maintained [Applause ] If they were tirm and Ttesolute, and showed that they would uphold the Government atall hazards, there would be no need of fighting. [A Voice.—How’s the Cabinet?) The Cabinet is with the President. Mr. Lincoln is President, and the Cabinet will sustain him. W ben thev go back to Illinois, he wanted them to inform the public mind of the state of feeling in Washing- ton; of the unity of the Cabinet, and of their de- termination to sustain the Government. He thought the crisis was nearly passed. ‘The border States would not secede, and he believed that peace and prosperity would soou prevail It having lesked out that Senator King was present, they sung out “King!

Mr. Lovejoy then posed three cheers for the old Declaration of Independence, the Constitu- tion, the Union and the laws, which were given witha “vim.” Then, after three for the Presi- dent and three for Mr. Lovejoy, the delegation called on Senator Baker, of Oregon.

But before this was resorted to, they should concede everything that an bonorable man might ask or an honorable man offer. Ex-Gov.

The soleget jon then gradually withdrew, and the procession popes each man steering for his lodging by the st direct route, and in the most expeditious manger.

I challenge any man, woman, or child of New York, or of any State in the Union, to point to a single act of mine that does him injustice. New York has always been true to freedoin and to the Union. Now, in the hour of trial, she will come to the rescue of the Union from anarchy. “In this crisis, so perplexing, so painfal I re- turn to you, citizens of New Yor! rejoin you, { fall in among you, I become again one of the citizens of that greatand noble State.

A more detailed report of the speech makes Mr. Sewam# say : I believe I know the character and pur of the Chief Magistrate; I believe that,while he will be firm, he will also be just to every State, and every section, and every citizea; that he will de- fend and protect the rights and interests, the peace and prosperity of all the States equally and alike, while he will practice the moderation that springs from virtue, and the affection that arises from ew triotism in Confederated States. Under his guidance, and with the blessing of God, I believe and trust, and confidently expect, that an Admin- istration that is inaugurated amid some distrust and painful nepeenensicn, will close upon a re- united, restored, prosperous, free and happy Re- public. The State of New York, the greatest and most powerful of the States, will lead all other States in the way of conciliation; and as the path of wiedom is always the path of ice, so f am sure it now we shall find that the way of con- cillation is the way of wisdom. - On visiting Gen.
