SPEECHES, sERENADEs, FIREWORKS AND CHEERS.
The Sixth Ward Wide Awakes were out
for parade, on Saturday evening, and had a
glorious time. The evening was cloudy, but
not uncomfortable. The march was long,
but the Wide Awakes are men of muscle
and enthusiasm, and are not to be intimi-
dated by few miles, more or less, of mud.
As an evidence of the interest taken in the
cause by members of the Club, there were
half a dozen or more laboring men in a
street car, going home from work they
were somewhat belated, and so went right
to the Wigwam to parade before going home
to supper.
The Club turned out over a hundred men,
Saturday evening. Clark's Sixth Ward
Band headed the procession, a huge eighteen
wicked torch being borne N front Tb9-
marched with admirable precision, and
showed themselves to be not only men, but
gentlemen, throughout the evening. Leav-
ing the Wigwam shortly after o'clock they
marched to the residence of Hon. A G. Rid
die, upon Forest street, giving him three
rousing cheers.
They next visited the residence of c. J.
Ballard, Esq, upon scovile avenue, which
was splendidly illuminated. Three cheers
were given for Mr.. Ballard, after which the
Wide Awake Glee Club, consisting of Messrs.
Clark, Dare, Danks and Ingersoll, sang a
rousing song, entitled;
Where. oh where is Jimmy Buchanan
Mr.. Ballard thanked the Club for their at
tention, and expressed himself exceedingly
happy to receive their friendly call He
had proposed to make a few remarks to
them, but it was growing late and they had
much to do. He wished, however, as a slight
testimonial cf his good wishes for the com
pany and their Commander, to present to
Capt. Chamberlain Wide Awake uniform,
charging him to use it faithfully until there
| should be no further need of Wide Awake's
services.
Capt. Chamberlain briefly responded with
his thanks, for the unexpected honor. He
trusted that he should be worthy to wear it,
| anu ludJ ne anu tilOSo uuueI HIS cudf St
would ever be found in the van of the battle
The uniform consists of an elegantly
bronzed cap and cape, the former bearing
upon its front the words, 18th Ward"
The Club gave three cheers for the new
uniform, the Band played Hail Columbia,
and as Capt. Chamberlain passed along tn
ranks he was saluted by clappinC of hand
by the company.
Upon Euclid street the residence Of Judg
Andrews was brilliantly illuminated. TIL
Wide Awalles filed into the yard ond forme
circle in front of the house, and thre
f cheers were given for Judge Andrews. II
responded in an eloquent little speech. H
said that his duties caused him to be muc
f retired from the political contest, but he di
not look with indifference upon these youn
/ men thus banded together. It was hig
5 time for Northern rights to be upheld, an
= for Northern votes to be so cast as to secU
those rights. He had no apprehensions {
to disunion, because if our brethren of th
South have any difficulty in preserving Ii
Union, we can help them. The hope of Ii
7 country is in our young men, and to then
in great measure, is to be attributed Il
g election of Mr. Lincoln, an event which
as certain to occur as the sun is to rise t,
V morrow. This election will strengthen Il
government, and promote civil and religion
liberty, for which our Fathers fought
1776. He bid them God speed in the goo
cause.
a The Glee Club sang the songn
''The people had five candidates
, a humorous thing, which created much me
riment.
s. The Club then marched to the residen
of E. B. Hale, which was finely illuminate
II They gave three cheers for Mr.. Hale,
g which he responded by saying thai he cou
% not make a speech but delegated his char

lie the following note:
