we give below an account of the mobbing
of the Republican meeting, on the 11th, at
Baltimore. Ii is certainly great thing
to live in free country. They tell us we
are sectional party; that We have no tick
ct in the Southern States, and no votes
there. Why is this! Simply be cause
there is neither freedom of speech or OF
the press, nor any other kind, except it be
to hold slaves. Suppose free white man,
in almost any Southern State, should make
up his mind to vote for non-extension OF
slavery, how is he to do it? If a conven-
ton should meet to nominate ticket, it
would be mobbed-if he should ayow his
intentions, his life and property would not
be safe for moment. How was it with
Underwood in Virginia9 How was it with
the Republicans of Baltimore? Read and

The Republican Association held meet
ing astevening at the Temperance Temple,
and in the absence of the President, Mr..
Elias Hawley, on motion Of Mr.. VIM. Gun
lol h.
chair, and Mr.. VIM. E. Coale, Jr., was Sc
lected as secretary pro tenn.
Mr.. VIM. Gunnison, from committee
appointed to report an address to the Re
pulicans of this State, supmitted one which
set out with the declaration of their devo-
tion to the Constitution of the Uuion, and
of their adhesion to freesoilism in the Ter
ritores admitted; declaring the repeal of
the Missouri compromise to be breach
of faith on the part of the South, and that
peace and unity conld not again exist with
out the same was restored.
1t also declared that the charge made
against them of being in favor of Abolition
ism was unjust and unfounded, as they
held the opinion that the emancipation of
the slave would tend to render his condition
worse, and fatal to the black race, unless
the Government should take steps to colo
nize the manumitted slaves. 1t declares
slavery to be pregnant with difficulty by
causing monopoly of the soil of the Slave
States, aud that it tended to subiugate the
right and interests of the non-slaveholder
to the STAKEHOLDER. The Kansas act it de-
nounces as a fraud, and also denounces the
Administration for employing the Govern
ment troops in civil war existing in that
Territory, as the address sets forth, against
the Free State men.
AT this stage of the reading of the ad-
dress large number of persons who had
assembled in the room and around the door
created some confusion by crowding and
laughter, when Mr.. Meredith, well known
as Sunday street preacher, passed down
the room to them and commanded 81
lence and ordered them to leave the room
or take seats. This was succeeded by loud
laughter, applause and hisses, and three
cheers being proposed for Fillmore, they
were given amid the utmost confusion and
terrific noise produced by stamping, clap
ping of hands, DC. Next three cheers
were given for Buchanan in the same fash
ion, and for some twenty minutes there
was kept up succession of cheering for
these gentlemen, alternated with loud
groans for Colonel Fremont, Corkran, Gun
nison, Fessell and others taking part in the
meeting whole being interspersed with
cries of ''turn off the lights, "tar and feath-
er them," DC, while loud calls were made
by the same parties for speeches from
those concerned in the meeting. Some Of
the lights then being turned off, these gen
tlemen commenced leaving the room, when
they were saluted as they passed through
the crowd with groans, misses and other
similar sounds and remarks, they making
as hasty: an exit as possible, followed by
the crowd, when an immense concourse
had assembled, and upon reaching the street
loud cries were made for rails. upon which
to ride them, and the cheering and groaning
was renewed. Messrs. Corkran and Col.
Wm E. Coale We're followed by the crowd
and roughly hustled about until they had
reached the corner of Gay and Fayette
street, where the former was tripped up or
knocked down, and the tails of his coat
cut entirely off; while the latter-named
gentleman, although not so roughly treated
was pushed and hustled about in other
than pleasant manner, and his hat mashed
in. They were then allowed to take their
departure, while the crowd amused them
selves by cutting the portion of Mr.. Cork
ans garment they had secured into strips,
