others, and that there fewer cases of outrage
and illegal voting than at almost anv other poll.

offences in violation of the law on election day were
enumerated; and the committee heretofore appoint
ed were directed to see if the parties so CHARGED

form was called, and all present resolved to
give the same time at the coming election 1t was
stated that $4,000 votes cast at the last cleo
ton, and, assuming that there were in the CITY 2S
600 voters, this would leave $4,000 who stayed
away from the polls, of whom much the larger por-
tion were opponents of the dominant party. 1t
was stated that the voting force of the American
party proper was not more than 5000, the re-
malnder being Old Line Wings, who voted with
them simply from hostility to the Democrats, and
the probable majority for the Reformers in full
vote was estimated at 5000. A large portion of
the Old Line Whig force, it was thought, had be-
come disgusted with the American party and the
$4,000 that did not vote were Democrats and natu-
rallied citiZens-the term Democrat being used as
including all opposed to the American party On
Mayor Swanns election there were 26, 600 votes
cast; and from the ordinary increase of a city like
Baltimore, there would be at least 90, 900 voters
now. Before the meeting adjourned, it was decided
to meet again at the same place on Wednesday and
Saturday next, and every evening Sunday ex-
cepted) thereafter until the day of election.

CHRIsT's CHURcH--The Rev. T. G. Addison,
Rector elect of this church, commenced his dnties
yesterday forenoon, and was listened to by LARGE
and attentive audience. He preached a discourse
from the words of st. Paul, ''For am determined
not to know anything among you save Jesus Christ
and him crucihed." He said that God had ordained
the preaching of the Gospel the great instrument
of salvation, and had appointed ministers, whose
chief work to be the proclamation of the truth
The great commission which Jesus gave to the
ministers of his church begins and ends with tbe
paramount command ''Go, therefore and teach
all nations" In alluding to the apostle Paul and
his strict adherence to the above text he said no
man was ever more successful in his preaching
than he-keeping always in full view the Atone
ment and the bleeding Savior. This was the real
secret of PauPs success as a preacher A nreacb

In the earnestness of his manner and the wav in
which he proclaimed Jesus Christ and him cruc;.
