bearings When he had made up his mind, re-

The alarm had been sounded The South had

the nominee of the Chicago Convention. 1t afford
ed him pleasure to be able to say that there were
thousands in the South who were in favor of the

should be brothers again. [Applause.l He was a
Southerner of the third generation; but he never
made any secret in Baltimore of his intention to

of the South. They would see that Lincoln had his
rights. He and those he acted with were known

Within the coming week Mr.. Davis would ad-
dress his constituency, and when he did he asked
them to expect to hear thunder. lie would be es-
pecialy severe with the fusionists. They at the
South had examined Mr.. Lncolns record, and felt
it certain that he was the true national candidate

a sectional candidate. Col. Evans presented re-
sumo of some of the public acts of Mr.. Lincoln
placing them in strong contrast with the conduct of
some of the leaders OF the present "Unon party
Fillmore, Washington Hunt and others. He was a
member of the American party. He did not abate
an iota of his attachment thereto. Yet he had ex-
amined with care the Chicago platform, and, with
some little exceptions, he was pleased with it. On
that platform he was ready to stand, and for Lin
coin he was ready to vote. Applause. Although
the SHOWS of age were settling him, he felt the
old fire burning within him, and he believed that
he should spend the next six weeks in battling for
the Republican ticket with all his strength. ZAP

frauds in the canvass of 1856, for which the sinews
of war had been furnished by the New York Hotel
[Applause
The Americans of the South did not feel bound to
vote for Mr.. Bell, for he not before the coun-
try as the nominee of the American Party. As for
Mr.. Douglas he had, in 1856, stigmatiZed the mem

claim his attachment for Lincoln he would be com

Col Evans told how the Baltimore Patriot had
been prescribed because it supported the principles
of freedom. He considered the election of the Re-

wanted the men of the North not to be scared with
this scare crow of the dissolution of the Union.

the Union. If the election carried to the SEN

In conclusion, Col Evans promised that Maryland
would do her best for the Republican cause, led by
Mr.. Davis. He said that in Baltimore they had
tried to injure his paper by taking away advertise
ments, but he had gone to an auctiOneer and said,
"There is a large three-story brick house, well
built and furnished; put tup and sell it for cash.

NEW YORK CITY POLITICS.
The Democracy of New York have given up all
hone of fusion There will now he three sets of
candidates in the field. The Tammany Hall and
the Breckinridge wings respectively nominated
their candidates on Friday night, and the Mozart
Hall faction will bring out their men during this
week. This desertion renders the success of the
Republicans certain in the city.
