| by The cheers OF The crowd. When he retired,
Col. Jefferson DAVIS, Secretary of War was
called for, and was introduced to the large au-
dience by Joshua Vansant. Esq. He alluded
To the pleasure it afforded him to be present,
and although he conceived he had no right to
address the audience under the circumstance
which brought him hore, yet he could but say
a few words. He bore testimony to the enter
prise OF the citizens Of Baltimore, who not
waiting for the Government to open and
dredge their harbor, had asked leave only TO
be permitted to tax themselves for the accom-

The energy enterprise, as well Us the gallantry
oil the citizens Of Baltimore. The extent in.
crease and prosperity OF the country was also
brought into review, The whole address being
exceedingly appropriate and well received.
