be the great Union parties but they are sain
! under false colors.
! The speaker then called upon all men who love
their country, and were opposed 10 sectional stri
! to come forward and vote the Bell and Evere
| ticket.
Mr.. IngersolPs voice was rather weak and th
arrangements ON the platform for the reporter
| were such that only unconnected sentences of h
| remarks could be heard.
| After the conclusion of Mr. IngersolPs remark
there was music by the band and song from tn
| Glee Club, called "The Music OF the Union" whic
| was received with great applause.
The Chairman then introduced to the meetin
the Hon. j. Dixon Roman, of Maryland, who ad
| dressed the crowd for about twenty minutes in
most energetic style. The speaker asserted tha
the Bell and Everett Union party was the only on
to which the conservative men of the country-th
men who had followed Henry CLAY, and who nov
revered his memOry-could join. He thought tha
all the evils which now threatened the peace of tn
country, were traceable to the leaders of the Demo
cratic party, so called. They commenced it in
1928, the time of Quincy Adams and have beeI
going on with their disorg ganizing movements eve
since.
Mr.. Roman then touched upon the history of tn
Douglas, Lincoln, and Brecknridge parties, ant
thought that their dissensions were such that the,
would never be able to agree upon anv question
which now held them asunder; he called on al
who were members of their parties, and dissatisfied
to rally under the standard of Bell and Everett
whose platform all could stand upon-the Copsti
tuition and the Union. He called upon the old lin,
Wings, the followers of Henry Clay who, he said
would, if alive. be standing with the Union party
to come back to their first love, and vote for Bel
and Everett, the candidates of the great Unior
party.
MIR. Roman then weat into long argument tt
show that the Democratic party had reaped all tn,
Dement'S OF the slavery agitation. 1t had been the
means of defeating Mr.. Clay in 1914 and in lS4S
when General Taylor, the owner of one hundred
slaves, was denounced as an Aboitionist The
Democratic party has tatered itself on this agita
ton. Tney have denounced the old Whig party
and the American party as abolitionsts YouI
honorable President of this meeting has been point
ed out abolitionist.
He mr. Roman had been denounced as an abo
litionists and he had no doubt that on tomorrow
he would be doubly denounced as one because he
had arraigned the Democratic party. That party
believed that there no purity outside of its
organization. They used the language of Scrip.
ture, and said-"I am the door, and he that cometh
oy any other way, the same is thief and rob-
per. The breckenridge platform is a disunion
platform, and its principles are nothing but alb
stractions. There not foot of territorial soil
which its principles could affect, and vet they
struggled for these distractions, to the detriment
lieved that the country would be in better condi-
tion to-day had Fremont been elected President
instead of Buchanan.
He would have made better Union Constitu.
tional President. The Democratic party processes
to have the interests of the South at heart This
false. They care for nothing but public plunder.
AS illustrative of this assertion he pointed to the
action of the Democratic party in Congress during
the excitement of the organization of the last
House of Representatives. The opposition Ameri-
can party offered the sound, slave holding men
such as Mr.. Gilmor, of North Carolina, and Mr.,
Smith, who are shareholders, but the Democracy
refused to support them. They did not want the
interests of the South protected. They wanted the
public plunder attached to the position. Mr.. Ro
man called upon the wise men of Baltimore to fol-
low the star of Bell and Everett, as it would un-
donbtedly lead them to their political salvation.
The Glee Club sung song, when Mr.. Swami in
said that he was there to address the Union-lovng
men of the country. The Convention which met
here on the sth of May have erected standard
under which all good men can rally. The mani
festo promulgated by that Convention needs no ex-
PLANTATION. The first part is the Union, and we
know of no rules in arithmetic by which to calcu-
late its value The second is the Constitution and
by that we mean the written law of the land as
interpreted by the tribunal having the power to
decide upon its provisions. The strict enforcement
of the laws is next, and by that is meant faithful
obedience to the laws, which the proper auth 0rity
have decided on their constitutionality Private
opinion must yield to the decision of the Courts
Mr.. Parre then referred to the division of the
Democratic party, and said that there were maHy
noble-hearted, patriotic men in that Democratic
party, who were dissatisfied and disgusted with
the action of the politicians, and were now anxious
to enter the Union Constitutional party, and he
SdHeu upou iue OulOH party 10 open ltS ranks to
receive them. They were anxious to be with the
Constitutional movement.
he next referred to the harmony which prevailed
IN the Convention which nominated Bell and
Everett. The members of that body were unit
on the questions in regard to slavery. They were
willing to abide by the decisions of the Supreme
Court.
That Convention now demands a ratification Of
I hose nomin ations. That convention says to you
that the ship of state is in the storm. The winds
OF Northern abolition, of Southern secession, and
w estern agitation are now bowling and whistling
through the canvass, and the rocks of disunion
in view, while the captain and crew have turned
pirates. That Convention calls upon you to save
this ship of state, freghted with the liberties of
your own and your sister States Look to the
w est and you find Lincoln with pirate flag in his
hand. In Kentucky you find youth who has never
neld the rudder of the ship in Storm while he is
surrounded by party who are praying for a favor
able wind to drive the old ship on the rocks of dis
union, and dash her to pieces.
Again look at the plains of Illinois and you
find man anxious to walk the quarter deck of the
vessel. But who is he. When the great Kentucky
pilot had safely anchored the ship, it was he who
cut her from her moorings and sent her adrift.-
He can never walk the quarter deck. Mr.. Parre
then referred to Bell and Everett as the only one
fitted by experience and patriotism to take charge
of the ship, and safely moor her in a harbor of
repose.
Mr.. Parre was frequently interrupted by ap-
plause, and at the close of his remarks there was
another seng by the Glee Club
Mr.. Swami then came forward and said | am
sorry to inform the assembly that the list of speak
ers is exhausted. The meeting has been a great
success, and trust you will go home rejecting
upon the sentiments which you have heard from
this stand That you will 60 home with the de-
term nation that on the election day in November
you will be at the polls to vote for the nominees
of the Union Constitutional Convention. | now
pronounce this meeting adjourned.
There was a large number present when the
meeting adjourned, and they dispersed orderly,
cheering for the nominees.
Shortly after the speaking commenced from the
stand another meeting was organized in front of
Guys porch. band of music commenced play
ing. and soon large portion of the crowd gath
cred in front of the house, and at the close of the
air DR.. N. Pinkney, United States Navy was intro
duced, and he addressed the crowd in an animated
manner. He was followed by DR.. Watkins, John
L. Smith, of Carroll, Coleman Yellott of this city,
and Horace Bruce, of Kentucky. Considerable
enthusiasm was manifested, and the speakers were
frequently interrupted with cheers
