heve, mat the radical Germans OF 81.
L. uis in defiance Of the express Orders
of one Gen. Davidson TO the contrary,
assembled at Concordia PAX, as they
had perfect right to do, for The purpose
of giving an expression to their feelings
regarding the President aud his cabinet
The meeting was large one aud wPs
enthusiastic in lis demonstrations. Pan
ticplsr y strong vIals of wrath were un-
corked and sprlnkled upon the devoted
head Of Gen. Hallcck. Ia respect T.
his cabinet, the President was requested
to make some important changes, aud
was advised that 1T would be more in ac-
cordauce with their wishes # he would
take into his confidence such men As
Fremont, Bntler and sig,l. One speak
er s,igmatized old Abe and his political
and military advisors az "dwsrls at the

all the way through these radicals ycry
dogmstically .assalled the ancient raj
splitter, and before closing the ccremo-
MES il was decided that the convention
select man and despatch him to Wash

setting forth precisely the sentiment pre-

policy. Mr.. James Taussig was the
individual selected 10 bear to the White
House the will of the Concordia Park
convention. He went and saw, but fail
to conquer. To say that he was actually
snubbed by the rail splitter would only
be saving what Mr.. Taussg admits 10
the Published report OF his interview,
which we give herewith and which
shows that little more pressure will
have TO be used before the President will
get in q position to suit the fanatics Of
the northern states. Read the report
