queHI advocates OF the constitutional Union cause,
DIR. r. II. Read and Mr.. B. r. Jonas. The ladies',
too, were there, manifesting thus, as ever, their
devotion to :" the union" Dir. Reads address did
no discredit to the fame he has acquired as an ora
tor, and teemed with striking and apothegmatic
| expression and earnest and eloquent language
He thought that we had come upon an eYentful
period in the history Of the great American ma
tion that great issue was staring US in the face
and that it should be met with spirit Of pure and
| undaunted patriotism. The fanatieism Of the
| North and the extreme ultraism of the South had
| brought matters to point when the conviction
was forcing itself upon the minds of many that the
period of the dissolution Of the Federal compact
was at hand. The Union party was the forlern
hope Of our distracted country, and he even won
dered if, asked himself, the Union men of the
South were sound on the Union 1t was a ques-
| tion which they should address their conscences,
lest they should be carried away by prejudice and
/ indignant resistance to the enemies of Southern
! rights.
| He was Southern man under all circumstances,
and had all the keen sensitiveness of Southern
born man, and if the North intended to wrong US
he was for redress, but redress in the Union, not
out of it. We should attack the North BY refusing
encouragement to her industry, and TINS touch her
in the tenderest point and show how dependent her
| prosperity is on the South. We should cease our
patronage of her manufactures, adopting the same
stand Of the fathers of the revolution who refused
the taxed tea. An appeal to force should be the
last resort. He eloquenty depicted the horrors of
civil war which would ensue on disruption of the
Union. s
| He balieved that successful appeal could be
made to the conservative of the North, to pro-
teet the South in her rights, ii Black Repub-
lican administration did have sway. He referred
to the result of the Pennsylvania election, and did
not think that gentlemen should give way to
dependency. The phalanx always stood more
| firmly when the outposts had been repused by an
| attacking enemy. He closed with an eloquentper-
oration, and would stand by the ship of the Union
though her decks slippery with blood, and his
last words would be " don't give up the ship
| When we left Mr.. B. F. Jonas was making tell
| ing speech, which was frequently interrupted by
applause.

THE DEATH OF WIN. McDERMoTT.-We are glad
to be able to explain that it was not negligence on
the part of the officers of Charity Hospital, which
prevented them from notifying the Coroner Of the
death of VIM. McDermott, alleged by Ellen Quinn
to have died from the effects of beating inflicted
by John Brennan Mr.. Yanderlinden (who, by
the-way, we are glad to again at his old post in
| the clerks office assures that McDermott came
to the Hospital with no other injury than slight
| bruse on his forehead, but suffering much, evi-
| IDENTIFY, from the effects of intemperanee When
/ he died, the physicians examined the body and
| pronounced it case of delirum tremens, and he
was buried. 1t not until after the burial that
the woman Quinn came TO the Hospital to claim the
| body; and being informed that the body was
buried, she went away without saying anything
about the man having suffered violence at the
| hands of another. So at the Hospital nothing was
| known Of the existence Of any charge Of violence
Or murder and of course they had no occasion to
send any notification to the Coroner.

SERIOUS CoLLIsIoN.-About o'clock on Wed.
nesday afternoon, two drays met each other on St
Andrew street, near the Gormley Canal, at a pace
rather rapid, and whether from the careessness OF
the drivers or the narrowness of the thort ughfare
the mules and drays came together in forcible
collision, upsetting things generally and particu
larly. One of the drivers was thrown from his DO
sition into the street, brusing himself considerably
by the fall, but the worst of it was that the mule
attached to his dray became frightened and dash
ing off, ran over him, mangling one of his legs in
horrible manner. Hewas picked up by some peo
pie who witnessed the occurrence, and taken to hi
residence. The runaway team was caught ant
