If any thing could add to the humiliation of
the people of Baltimore, or make them more sens-
Die OF The brutal and despotic nature of the power
which has usurped dominion over them, the dis
graceful demonstration which was made against
the Hon. JOHN G. BRECKENRIDGE on Thursday
night must have intensified to the utmost, the
feeling with which every right-minded citizen re-
CARDS the situation of his native city. The posi
ton of Mr.. BRECKINRIDGE would have secured him
a respectful hearing before any audience other
than debauched and miserable mob. The recoI
lection that he had been recently the Vice Pres-
dent OF the Republic, and the knowledge that he
Is now the most distinguished and one of the
ablest members of the Senate, would, anywhere
else than here, have insured him an honorable
reception. But if his position had not sufficed
Tor his protection, surely the theme on which he
desired to address the people should have won for
him all proper consideration. He spoke to them
OF civil liberty, and they Kissed him-he talked of
constitutional government, and they nsulted him
he alluded to the degradation to which thew
have been subjected, and they reviled him-he
denounced the wrongs which have been inflicted
upon Maryland and her citizens, and he was

they knew that the army, whose cannon threaten
our homes was ready to sustain them in anv d;s-
reputable proceedings to which they might resort
IN order to intimidate the people of Baltimore.
But the Infamous outrages of Thursday NIGHT
Will unquestio nably recoil upon the heads of their
authors and abettors. 1t is well known that the
most prominent participants in that scene of vic
lence were some of the most notorious leadors 90
the Old clubs; and Mr.. BRECKENRIDGE has recorded
MS testimony to the effect that the Federal police
men were the chief instigators of the riot
fortunately the character of these parties is ca
well known throughout the country. that the
mass OF the people of Baltimore are not likely to

that Will inevitably overtake them and thar cd |
visers. If we thought that the wretched or,onu,
who denied Mr.. BRECKENRIDGE hearing on
Thursday night fairly represented the public
sentiment of any considerable portion of the |
country, we might forego at once all faith in |
Republican institutions and abandon all hope of a |
Tree and constitutional government on this Con-
hnent. Never did monitor speak words of truer
warning than did Mr.. BREcKINR1pGE. when he
reminded the hooting faction which was CRUSHING

The Coutrabands.

A Port Royal correspondent of the Times
writes:
One of the most remarkable features Of
the new life in South Carolina is afforded
by the negroes. Black servants have been
hired by many ofthe officers as walters, and
washermen and women. Black gangs have
worked on the shore, or been used as oars
men; blacks have served as scouts and
guides in the reconnoissances. Crowds of
the women and children may be seen in
various parts of the camps, but especially
near head. quarters, where they inhabit
their own huts still. There they receive
their rations, there they build fires to cook
their food or to do their washing, and clus-
ter into odd-looking groups, picturesque for
all their squalor. The men and boys join
them at night, and always, after supper, in
a dilapidated clubhouse, is held prayer
meeting. listened outside, last night, and
heard ardent calculations Of thanksgiving
for the favorable chance God had given to
"my colored bruddren." The jargon was
absurd, but it was earnest; the singing
was out of tune and time but it was fer
vent. In some quarters the blacks are less
religious, and held ball TO celebrate the
coming of the Yankees. have talked with

At Beaufort, where not few seemed sad
at the pillaging that had occurred, yet even
these declared that they had long prayed
for our coming. They laughed at the idea
of our injuring them, which all declared
their masters had endeavored to instill. The
determination of all who can escape, to
leave their masters, is, however, continually
asserted. So far as the slaves are con.
cerned, an advance into the country from
this place would undoubtedly be followed
by an immediate rush of the whole popula-
ton toward our camps.

An interesting correspondence has passed
Jersey and Secretary Seward. The Synod,
at its late session, in view of the critical con-
dition of the country, passed a series of
resolutions, pledging the influence ofits mem
bers in behalf of the Government. They
also took occasion, while disclaiming any in
tention of offering suggestions in regard to
slavery, to express their full belief that it lies
at the foundation of all the present difficulty,
and to deprecate its existence. Mr.. Seward,
in his reply, in behalf of the President,
thanks the Synod for their sympathy, but
makes no allusion whatever to the slavery
question.
