February 23, 1861; The New York Herald
The difficulty between the States of Georgia and New York still remains unsettled. A despatch from Savannah states that Governor Brown, of Georgia, on Thursday seized the ship Martha J. Ward, the bark Adjuster, and the brig Harold, all belonging to New York. These vessels will be detained until the arms seized by the New York police are given up.
We continue to chronicle the progress of Mr. Lincoln and suite. The President elect yesterday morning hoisted the American flag over Independence Hall, at Philadelphia, amid the cheering of a vast concourse of spectators. Subsequently he proceeded to Harrisburg. Along the route the people turned out generally to welcome the party. At Harrisburg Mr. Lincoln was received by the Pennsylvania Legislature, and addresses were delivered by the presiding officers of the two houses, and by Mr. Lincoln. The President elect will reach Baltimore today. There are some symptoms of a demonstration at Baltimore against Mr. Lincoln, but the police arrangements will prevent any indignity being offered to him. Mr. Hamlin, the Vice President, reached Washington yesterday.
