february 21st he's in philadelphia. pinkerton goes to philadelphia and he talks first to norman judd, lincoln's friend and political associate, who is also in charge of the itinerary at this point. and strongly suggesting that they alter the route. because the way the conspiracy had figured it out was very simple. in baltimore there was an ordinance. you could not have trains run through the middle of town. so if you came from points north you either got off the train and caught a cab, a carriage, to the southern terminus and met your train there for points south, or maybe they'd uncouple the car and a team of horses would tow it through the city and reconnect it at the southern terminus. either way, the conspirators' plan was to have the streets lined with their guys, part of whom would create a distraction so that any police escort would be drawn away, and then the rest would close in for the kill and murder abraham lincoln in the carriage or in the car. so it's a simple but incredibly nasty plot. when pinkerton goes

michael nutter of philadelphia and washington's own vincent gray here to bring national attention to the challenges facing our cities during a difficult political season the mayors felt the impact at home as philadelphia and d.c. face tough budget cuts and the search for jobs. they were both outspoken obama supporters in 2008 but has the president done enough for his urban base in the? let's start locally here. we'll ask you generally as part of the u.s. conference of mayors you're here in washington, what's the big ask on behalf of the u.s. conference of mayors of the federal government? >> i think the big ask is to listen to cities more and do more for our cities. we've got great needs. we're a big part of the gdp in this nation. we all have huge unemployment problems. we need help from the federal government to get our people back to work. we need infrastructure investments. this nation has 70,000 bridges that have one or another kind of deficiency. investing in bridges would put people back to work and get hardcore unemployed immediately to work and we begin to relieve some of th

if he was coming from philadelphia on the pwb railroad, he would have been approaching more from the east and approaching baltimore from that direction. now, tom also mentioned dorothea dix. and in 1861, samuel morris felton who was the president of the b and o railroad had received an unannounced visit from dorothea dix and she told him the following that there was an extensive and organized plot around the south to declare the southern confederacy the government of the united states. at the same time they were to cut off all means of communication between washington and the north, east and west, and thus prevent the transportation of troops to wrest the capitol from the hands of the insurgents. mr. lincoln's inauguration was thus to be prevented or his life would fall to sacrifice. she said troops drilling on the line of our own road the men drilled to obey the commands of their leaders and the leaders were banded together to capture washington. well, felton immediately took this information to the aforementioned marshall george p. cane. but according to felton, he, cane scouted th

we could mix in with freezing rain in the philadelphia area. two to three inches for philadelphia. i think northern new jersey, mountainous areas of the poconos could pick up close to six inches out of this. southern new england, the heavy precipitation will be south of you. you still pick up three to six. and again, areas in new jersey, now d.c. doesn't look like a lot for you. possibly maybe an inch or so. most of the snow will be to the north of you. so the forecast for today, eventually the snow will move into areas like pittsburgh late in the day. everyone on the east coast, you're dry today. it will be a chilly day with the wind blowing out there. as far as the snow goes, as we mentioned, mostly iowa into illinois. we're warm today in areas of texas. the west coast got pounded yesterday. freezing rain in seattle. today we're warmer. we're doing the melting to try to recover. over the weekend, of course on saturday seven watching south carolina and voting. rain showers in the forecast. but nothing that should be bad enough to really keep people home. >> all right. thanks so mu

so they went to philadelphia, a group of soldiers went to philadelphia, and they're pointing guns in the windows of congress, and they're menacing members of congress. and congress is inside trying the to figure out what to do. all they can do is appeal to the governor of pennsylvania who tells them, hey, it's not my problem. [laughter] just one of the reasons philadelphia lost the capitol and would only get it back for a temporary period under the new government. so john dickenson, the governor, wasn't willing to help them out. so what congress decided to do was they would flee like a group of common debtors to princeton, new jersey, and they reconvened in james madison's old dorm at princeton. [laughter] one of the most important issues that both madison and monroe had to deal with during their time both in the virginia legislature and in congress was the question of the mississippi. the spanish were of a belief because they controlled new orleans and the port of new orleans that they were entitled to the mississippi river. james madison pointed out that under the international law
