engtne-house, and organized oy appointing MI.
F. McNerhaney chairman, and Mr.. Z. .. ooer
The Chair stated the object Of the meeting to
be the nomination Of candidates 10 be supported
at the ensuing municipal election, and the selec-
ton Of delegates to represent the ward In the
city convention for the nomination OF candi-
date for Mayor. None should be nominated who
are not National Union Democrats, and opposed
TO every form of abolitionism. This contest, he
said, Ii one which will place the reins OF the city
government either In the hands Of men who will
sustain and support the Constitution Of the United
States and the charter Of the city, or OF those who
aboIitionism. Now was the time and the hour
for every man to show his hand.
The following gentlemen were unanimously
declared the delegates to the city convention
Messrs- 8. F. Gates, NJ. Marceron, i. A. Tolson
J. w. Smoot and F. McNerhaney.
The following nominations were made unani-
mously:
For Alderman-George A. Bohrer.
For Common Council. ID. O'Donnell, T. A.
TOlson and F. 8. Ober.
Some one suggested that resolutions should b,
adopted.
The Chair stated that he had been informed
which all the candidates could stand, and be
thought that would be sufficient
Mr.. Jemes Burgess moved the adoption Of the
late address Of the democratic members OF Con-
gress. They should FIRST endorse them here, and
then let the convention adopt them. They must
tske stand 70 support the Consultation, and to
have the city charter properly carried cut. why
should we be afraid to express our appreciation
Of the democratic address? AS freemen we have
a right to speak, and should not be afraid Of
tyranny.
Mr.. J. r. Queen h.d no objection to the dem-
ocratic address. They all individually endorsed
them, and IL was not necessary to adopt them In
this meeting. The spirit breathed In the address
was correct; but he was opposed to mixing up
national with municipal affairs. Let us go into
this fight and whip the republicans and ab0li-
tionists on their own ground; restore the Consti-
tuition and strictly carry out the charter OF the
city
Mr.. Burgess did not see why they should fear
to endorse the address, and hoped his motion
would prevail We had, he supposed, the same
rights as any other people in the Unit,d States.
Their object was not simply the carving out the,
city charter; but they had higher duty and
wOrk-the restoration Of the Constitution to what
IL was few months ago. The gag-lew had been
applied, but he was opposed to having II crammed
down the Tsople's Threats. All ffeemen must
arouse, and If we do not we will be under
monarchical government in this country before
two years
The motion TO adopt the address unanimously
prevailed.
A molten was adopted authorizing the Chair to
appoint vigilance commi ttee Of twenty five.
Adjourned.
THE GREAT PEDESTRIAN FRAT-Mr Ed p
W6stOn, the well known pedestrian, whose pro-
posal to walk from this city to Boston, Mass I4-S
miles) In eight consecutive DAYS, has made CON
Monday last, leaving the Capitol Building at SIX
p. m, being thirty minutes beyond his proposed
startling time at S D. m. He reached Beltsville
when seven miles from Baltimore partook OF soms
more refreshments, and arrived at the Eu!ayy
House, Baltimore, at . a m. Of Tuesday, precise
ly the schedule time, although losing, as already
stated, one half hour In the start Mr. C. j
Eaton, who accompanied the pedestrian In car
Rage from this city, informs Us that Mr. w made
the last ten miles into Baltimore in better time
than any other portion Of the distance, and arrived
In Baltimore perfectly fresh. In fact his pace
was so good that Mr.. Eaton was compelled To
put bis horses on the trot to keep up with him
AT IL m. yesterdav, Mr.. Weston resumed his task
and considerable Interest Ia felt in the result of
his "msvement upon PHILADELPHIA as he nm
dertakes the remarkable feat OF walking the entire
distance, one hundred and three miles, via the
Conowingo bridge across the Susquehanna, in
iWentY-rour consecutive hours, including all
stops.

Some OF the privates received as high as SIS,
their pay having been standing for some time
They LEFT great deal Of their money at the cloth
Ing stores OF the city, great many Of them cast
Ing on their regimentals and arraying themselves
In citizens dress. As usual, too, no mean Dor
ton OF their hard earnings found its way to the
money drawers sf lager beer and whisky saloons
The pickpoc kets and thieves were around In full
force, and two or three of the soldiers had their
packets picked while at the depot waiting for the
train 10 convey them hOmeward. Pickpock ets
are "mean cu'ser' anyhow, but they who would
pick the pocket OF soldier, and rob him Of his
dearly earned pay, must have hearts depraved and
rotten to the very core.
