BILL AND EVERETT CLUB MEETING LAST
EvESISG-Quite large and enthusiastic gather
ing present at the hall of the Bell and Everett
Club last evening, to listen to a speech from Mr..
Cceman Yellott, Of Baltimore, announced to ad-
dress them on that occasion. The meeting being
called to order, committee was appointed to
walt on Mr. Tellott and inform him of their as
sembli.Ig and desire to have him address them
The COMMITTEES having retired for this purpose,
Mt. Beardsley was called upon for a speech dur
ing the interim. That gentleman, in response,
eloquent style, until the arrival OF Mr.. Yellott
Mr.Y. on entering the room, was loudly APP
Eoisuded, and o. being introduced by the presi-
dent Of the meeting, was received with three en-
thusIastic cheers.
he th~r proceeded to deliver an able and elo-
Suent s2eech, assuring those present that IL the
UnesH Wen throughout the country would only
perform their duty, victory was certain. Some
were sanguine as TO suppose election Of their
candidates could be effected by the people. He
would not go quite 80 far as that, though he did
not regard this as altogether improbable; but IL
the adherens OF the cause which they advocated
would ss9y sssrt thsmselyss with gsoRer zeal BY
81 Lincoln could be prevented, and the contest
the electton Of Edward Everett by the senate a.
an inevitable event.
He expsieed at some length the causes which
led TO the formation Of this party, which was con
ceived and born in w Washington city, alleging the
present distracted condition Of country to have
been brought about by the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF
Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan. Previous
of President Of this mighty Republic all was
peace snd harmony The repeal of the Missouri
Compromise was not had because Of any real or
Imaginary benefit to the South, but was for the
purpose OF accomplishing certain political ends
determined upon by unprincipled politicians at
Washington. This slavery agItation-the ques-
ton OF slavery in the Terrtories-had been brought
about by the democratic party for the sole pur-
pose Of defeating 80 SAM because they saw be
was making such rapid strides that IL his course
were not shortly checked lhe would override the
a. nj q 81 Of he mi
and the Offices, which they didn't care great
deal about releasing their hold of They sue
Ceeded In checking the progress Of Sam, but
walked up in his stead a more formidable adver-
s1ry-Sambo IL was momentous period in our
countrYs history when there was necessity for
tie organization of Union party A few years
ago IL was thought all were Union men, but such
was not now the case. IL policy dictated he
would favor a union with the Douglas party hrst
and the Breckenridge party second; but never
would he In any event favor a union with the
Abe Lincoln party. All men in the South were
rot controlled by sound judgment, but In many
cases bv mere passion. Regarding the election Of
Ale Lincoln Is direct insult to the South, they
would stop short Of nothing but having him
either displaced dissolution Of the Union
Under such circumstances never could be In any
tveHt favor union with such elements They
we've hostile to the Union and to the dearest rig hts
efoDe section of the Confederacy.
He thought it highly probable that Bell and
Everett would carry every Southern State, with
the exception of one-SOuth Carolina which
would 90 for Breckenridge. Massachusetts, too,
electoral vote for their candidates.
He was frequently applauded and when be had
concluded, vote Of thanks was passed for his
kindness " appearing before them and delivering
such an asle and interesting address.
The meeting adjourned without the transaction
of further business than to listen to the reading Of
the report Of the committee relative to the mass
meeting, on Wednesday evening, in front Of the
City hall.

profanity, and the gentleman complained Of the
hackman on the same ground. The cases were
laid before Justice Dom, who, in view Of all the
circumstances, dismissed them. The facts were

hackmen are 50 tenacious of the law when strang-
ers offend, they should expect to be dealt with as
strictly.
