to receive their brother democrats with
open hearts. The latch-string is on the
outside of the door, aud all you have to
do is to pull it. Democrats of the city,
our houses are your houses. Loud APP
plause.
Your welcome is that of brothers we
will receive you with real old agricrltu-
raj hospitality We are here to inaugu-
rate a campaign for the redemption of
Baltimore city. Some of the State dele
gates have remarked that there was no
use in making any nomination; but,
gentlemen and Mr.. President, | differ
with themE think, after calm and ma
ture deliberation, that there is whole
some revolution taking place in Balti-
more city He then referred to the con-
dition of the city of Baltimore and the
spirit Of rowdyism that has been so plain
" manifested for the last FIVE years.
He was confident, after taking every
thing into consideration, that if the de-
mocracy OF Baltimore were united in
their efforts, they must and would tri-
umph beyond a doubt. He regretted to
see that at the last convention there were
evidences of discomfort but that would
not do. The party had no time to quar-
rel among themselves They would have
to go to work tremendously, with their
whole hearts and strong arms, and re-
deem themselves. perhaps by means more
painful than reasoning He did not say
it in spirit of threat or bragadocio, but
he would say calmly and deliberately
that they must redeem themselves as
freomen should. He did not counsel acts
of violence. Far from it, But he did
advise the democracy to be united as
peaceful citizens, and then be defeated,
if they chose, fairly; and then, if it is
to be written that there is no redemption
in Baltimore city, let it be so; but what
ever is done must be done calmly and
heroically, and it win be justified by God
above and man below Applause. -
To the gentlemen of the counties he
would ask, what are we to do? His
advice was to do their work without re-
gard to the result in Baltimore city, and
let it be known to the people of the
United States that if the city is ire
deemable, the counties at least are not.
Applause.
After speaking at some length, he
concluded his remarks by advising his
brother democrats TO make one universal
resolve. That al ways.gnd means Of
order, law. &c, be fully exhausted to
redeem the rights. Of the people and re-
dress the wrongs of -tbe oppressed The
people Of the cannties are fully deter
mined to do their duty with an indomita-
BILE will--peaceably if it can, and forci-
bly, if it must.
His remarks we're listened to through
out with marked attention. and at the
