Inc speech was one Of great power and eloouencn
anu tne audience frequently interrupted him by the
most tumultuous applause. His reference to his

Inc States together and his reluctance to sever tho
Donds OF brotherhood, met cordial response from
ne audience. Nothing but the preservation of the
'lghts OF the people was deemed sufficient in his
nlnd to cause disruption. The folly and ineon
'Htehcy OF Gov Hicks were strongly commented
upon, and the exposition of his course was tho
'nugh and complete. Groans were given for Gov.

Mr.. Lowe then went on to say that notwithstanding
What were the opinions Of alsehearted and weak hear

questionable privilege of deciding for themselves at the
allotboX, what position the State of Maryland should
sSume in the present condition of affairs
If the people desired Convention and the Executive

After Mr.. Lowe had concluded there was much
cheering, and loud cries for Yellott, Ritchie and
AilgOur. Mr.. kilgour, Of Maryland, was then in
reduced to the meeting by Gov. Lowe, and greet
ID with much applause. Mr.. Kilgour commenced
" saying that he had voted for Bell and Everett as
he Union candidates at the last election, because
le honestly and conscientiOusly believed that their
lection would promote the peace and quiet of the
country.
But they had been defeated, and that by Sec
ional party in the North, party directly in oppo-
iton to the rights and honor of the Southern
states. Mr.. Kilgour then went into a review of
he causes which led to the present distracted con-
ition of the country, and concluded by advoca-
ing the proposition of the meeting of conven-
ion of the people.
AT the close of Mr.. Kigour's remarks, the ques-
ion was taken upon the resolutions, which were
dopted unanimously, amid loud cheering.
The meeting then adjourned the whole proceed
ngs of the evening having been clara cterized by
he most perfect harmony of sentiment.
