A BALTIMORE REPUBLICAN MAKES SPEECH IN
WAsHINGToN.-At a meeting of the Republicans of
Washington, on Thursday night, the President
nounced the presence off delegation of thirty from
the Republican Association in Baltimore, and in
few remarks welcomed them to the Wigwam. The
President of the Association, Mr.. Gleason, was in
vted to address the meeting.
MIR. Gleason said he had been called upon so
suddenly to make speech, that he was at loss
what to say to them. He gratiied to meet
with the Republican Association of Washington,
and congratulated them upon their growth and
success. be could say, with confidence, that Ma
ryland was true to the Union. Applause. She
would never falter; and matter what other
States might do, she would remain as she is. APP
plause 1t had been said that if Virginia seeded,
Maryland would follow. He denounced the asser-
tion as libel and falsehood. Whatever course
Virginia ut to take made no difference with
Maryland, but she would do as she saw fit, and
would never desert the star she had placed in the
flag of the Union. Virginia would not do it Ken
lucky, Tennessee and other States would not do it;
and Maryland would walk in their footsteps and
remember them in the hour of danger. She would
stand by the Constitution and the laws; and, if
necessary, she would send her columns to help
inaugurate Abraham Lincoln on the 4th of March.
The secessionists could not get three out of ten of
her citizens to engage in any such damnable scheme
as breaking up this Government. Laughter and
applause.
In the next election they expected to carry the
city of Baltimore by majority of 200 votes
They would have carried it before, but the Germans
ana ldDOrlnS men were Illuminated Dy threats OIL
discharge BY their employers if they voted for Lin
con and consequently they lost the victory. They
had hoped that the Hon. H. W. Davis, from the 4th
Congressional District, would affiliate with the
Republican party. His vote for MIR. Fuller and Mr.
Pennington had encouraged them to believe that
he would make a common cause with them. and had
he taken the stand at home which he did upon the
floor of Congress, they would have carried the city
by large jorty. He could say for the Repub-
can party of Baltimore that they would make no
concession conflicting with their principles. He
would concede to no set of men who would destroy
the Government because majority of the Ameri-
people opposed to the extension of slavery,
system at which civilization bushes and crimsons
with shame. When Mr.. Lincoln takes his seat, he
could only execute the laws and carry out the pro-
visions of the Constitution, and it behooved every
man to rally around him under the stars and stripes
instead of the contemplate rattesnakss and pal
mettoes. Loud applause.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Gleason's remarks, on
motion of Mr.. Bigley, vote of thanks was ten
dered him amid cheers and applause.

cessve injections, containing a drachm each, hav-
ing been used at intervals of four hours; the te
| tanc symptoms were completely removed, and the
| patient made good recovery. DIR. Mackenzie
relates recently unoer his care, in which he
| employed the same treatment with an addition OF
| opium to the tartar emetic. The tetanic spasms
much diminished, but the patient eventually sank
