THE UNION MARYLAND CENTRAL COMMIT
TIE called upon the President OF the United
Suites, yesterday afternoon, at o'clock, by ap-
pdntment. They were separately introduced
to the President by the Hon. Montgomery
BAR
After the ceremony was concluded, W. H.
Ptrnell, Esq, chairman OF the committee de.
I,ered an eloquent address. in which he said:
t'-bey rejoced that the people, by almost
unanimous and imp ecedented ma lority had
aGain elevated the President TO the proudest
ard most honorable position on earth and had
endorsed his course Of action. They felt under
dep obligations TO him because he had ap-
p'ecIated their condition as slave State 1t
vas not too much TO say that, by means of the
exercise OF rare discretion on his part, Mary
lad occupies position in favor of freedom
biving forever abolished slavery by the SOW
erign decree of her own people. They desired
hat his Administration in the future, as in the
past, would result in the restoration OF the
Union, with freedom its Immutable basis.
After further remarks OF like appropriate
tie President, on retiring from his high and
important position, would receive the uni
yersal approval OF mankind; and may Heaven
he said, "crOwn your ddyS with loving kind
ness and tender mercy"
The President, in reply, said ale had to
confess that he was fully notified of the in
tention thus kindly to call upon him, and by
that means he had fair opportunity offered
TO be ready with q set speech; but he had not
prepared one, having been very busy with his
public duties; therefore, he could only speak
hnn ne Ntnhr to Il a
rot attempt to conceal from them the fact that
he was gratified at the res alt of the Presiden-
tial election, ana he would assure them that he
had kept as near as he could TO the exercise of
his best judgment. for the promotion of the in
terests OF the whole country; and now, to have
the seal OF appreciation marked on the course
he had pursued was exceedingly gratifying to
his feelings. He might go further and say that,
IN as large proportion as any other man, his
pleasure consisted In the belief that the policy
he had pursued would be the best and the only
one that could save the country. He had said
before, and would now repeat, that he INDUCED
IN no feeling OF triumph over any one who
thought or acted differently from himself.
He had NO such feeling towards any living
man.
When he thought of Marylan in particular,
twas that the people had more than double
their share in what had Occurred in the cleo
tioDs He thought the adoption of their free
STATE cen sttutior UcJ bigger thing than their
pG-t n The Pro- idIntial election. He could,
any dPN, nGva sCipu4oted to lose Maryland in
the Preside NAL election 10 save its free con-
sutuuon, because The Presidential election
ONES every four years, and the adoption Of
the cons ttution, being good thing, could not
be undone. He therefore thought in that they
had a victory fer the right worth a great deal
more than their parts in the Presidential cleo
ZION, although he thought well OF that. He
once before said, and would now say again,
hat those who had differed from and op-
posed us would see that il was better for their
own good that they had been defeated, rather
than 10 have been successful. Thanking them
Tor their compliment ne said he would bring

The company then entered into a free and
pleasant conversation with the President, who
was in the best possible spirits, ard the COM
mittee took their leave, well pleased with the
interview.
