ENADs-SPEEcH OF THE VICE PRrsDENr.-The Hon.
| John c. Breck kinridge, the Vice President of the
| United States, and one of the Democratic candi-
dates for the Presidency, reached this city yester-
| day, on his way to his home in Kentucky and
took rooms at Barnum's Hotel During the after
noon and evening he was called upon by many of
| our citizens. In the evening, number of his
| friends, with Captain Feldtman's brass band, re-
paired to the Hotel, for the purpose of seresading
| the distinguished visitor. About half-past eleven
| O'Clock, the band commenced the comp mpliment of
the evening by playing "Hai Columbia after
which Mr.. Breckenridge came to the window of his
room on Fayette street, aud addressed the assem-
| bled crowd, numbering some hundreds, as follows
FELLOW C1TIzENs:I my grateful acknow led ge-
ments for this kind greeting which you have extended
wards me in passing through your beautiful city my
way to the West This is not the first time that have
rested in Baltimore Twenty years ago wandered
the then suburbs OF your city now covered with monu-
ments of your prosperity and greatness. l hope that
prosperity may continue until it places you in the most
eminent position.
Without entering discussion of the political
questions of the day, think venture the express
sion of n few remarks how the institutions of the
country may be best preserved.

Strict fidelity to the Constitution is the surest and the
If at any time should be led astray by counsel
ent from that which the Constitution embodes before
are aware of it will be drifting into channel which
will surely lead to destruction. This Constitution was

enough for them and it is good enough for u.s. Let

There a few fundamental principles which underlie
the whole structure of our government One the right
of conscience to exercise that right each man may de
sire. Happily, at this tme this cardinal principal is
attacked and it were, surely in this city bearing the
name of the founder of the colony in this State
not want for defenders. Another principle is that the
equality of the States At the formation of the conede-
ration they were all sovereigntes. The Constitution was
not made to destroy those soveregntes but
them, and any efforts tending a destruction of this
equality, only be followed by the disastrous
consequences.
The violation of any fundamental principle carries
with lamentabe results Therefore preservation
order, the guarantee practice of all religious
opinions and the equality of the States are nuestons
which should command the deepest socitude and aten

Will remain the capital of great, free and prosperous

walton OF the Constitution, and all will be well.
fear that have, perhaps gone farther in my remarks
than strict proprety will admit Of and therefore, my
fellow citizens again thank you for this uneypece ed
and cordial reception.
Mr.. Breckinridge frequently interrupted
with applause. lie appeared at the window in
response to three enthusiastic cheers for John c.
Breckenridge, and the moment he was recognized
! three times three more were given.
| Mr.. Brecknridge will leave the city this morn
ing at halfpast eight O'clock He will meet his
| wife at the Relay House, and proceed to his home
| in Kentucky.
| THE MANNER IN Which ARRESTS ARE TO BE MADE
The following is part OF an order issued bv the
Board OF Police Commissioners TO the Marshal, re-
latiye to the manner in which policemen must con-
! duct themselves in making arrests:
The Board take this occasion also to call the
attention of all members Of the Police force to the
! repeated complaints which have been made of the
use OF unnecessary harshness and violence in
making arrests. In quelling riotous disturbance,
and in dealing with notOrOuSy violent and lawcSs
men, it may be at times necessary to secure them
by strong grasp of their persons. But in the case
of citizens of good orderly character and general
good conduct, and especially when arrests are made
| for violation of the city ordinances, where the
| party merely incurs moderate pecuniary penalty.
| the use of such violence, well as of insulting
language, is positively prohibited. In such cases,
unless the violent conduct the resistance of the
| offender, or other peculiar circumstances of the
case render different course necessary, simple
pl lacng of the hand of the officer on the party and
requiring their accompanying the officer to the Po-
lice station, or to the Office of magistrate, the
case may be, is sufficient to make arrest, and is
| the proper mode of doing so. The Board will
strictly require that every officer and policeman will
| carry out these Instructions
Coon RESULTS THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE
| Law RELATING TO VAGRANTs.-The Commissioners
of Police, by their enforcement of the law relating
to vagrants, and persons without any visible means
of support, are working most salutary reform in
