the Republican, Camp!
We find the following article in the Bal
timore Exchange newspaper of Friday last.
Democratic paper:
Last night the Republican party met a,
Independence Hall, corner Of Gay and Fay
etle streets. for the purpose OF forming a
Wide.Awake club. Mr.. Emery, of The Bor-
der State, (Republican organ,) was called
to the chair, aud William Louis Schle,
appointed Secretary. Soon after the meet
ing was organized it was announced that a
large number of men from Fel's Poin: and
other portions of the Eastern section OF the
city, were on their way to tho meeting.--
This proved to be the caso. Men to the
number of three or four huudred. who were
heretofore identified whb the American and
Bell md Everett. parties, disgusted with the
result OF the municipal eecIion, had deter
mined to throw off their allegiance to that
party, and 60 over, bog and baggage, 10 the
Republican camp.
On Tuesday last they were the most
earnest and rabid of Bel and Everett men
but believing that the more respectable por.
tion OF that parly hat betrayed them on
election day, and thereby assisted in swell.
ing the majority of Mr.. Bro wn, democrat. }
they determined to be revenged, and thought
that the best aud most effactusl way Of
doing so was TO desert the party. They
gathered at different points in the Eastern
section OF the city, and then met on Bati.
more street, and proceeded 10 the Republi.
can headquarters. All along the line oil
march cheers were proposed and given fol
Lincoln and Hamln. On reachihg the cor.
ner Of Gay and Fayette streets the excite.
ment was very great-thers was a contin.
ual uproar, and a constant shouting for the
Republican ticket. The party proceeded tc
the entrance Of the headquarters, and as
they ascended the stairs the cheering con.
tinued.
As soon ar the head Of the procession en-.
tered the door of the hall the Republic
who had previously assembled, rose from
their seats, and met the accession with
tumultuous applause. In few minutes the
hall was densey packed. Men were stand
ing on the seats, shouting and yelling for
Lincoln and Hrmlin, while WIN. L. Coale
Esq was endeavoring to gain the attention
OF the meeting. He vas standing on the
platform. gesticulating violently, and in
vain endeavoring to make his voice pen
citrate to the rear of the hall. The noise
and confusion were too great, aud some
minutes elapsed before quiet was restored
Mr.. Coale then welcomed the new comers
to the fold Of Repub blcani.m, regretted that
