LOYAL MARYLANDKRs- SPEECH OF THE
PREsIpENT.-In anticipation of serensde to
President Lincoln by the loyal Marylanders,
large crowd assembled in front of the White

CATION of the Lincoln and Johnson Club.
From Ninth street they moved to the Presi-

Friends and FELLOW Citizens: / am notified
that this is compliment paid me by the loyal
Mary landers resident in this District. infer
that the adoption of the new constitution for
the State furnishes the occasion, ana that In
your view the extirpaton of slavery consti-
tutes the chief merit of the new constitution.
Applause Most heartily de congratulate
you and Maryland, and the nation and the
world, upon the event / regret that Ii did not
occur two years sooner, which, / am sure,
would have saved to the nation more money
than would have met all the private loss in

come at last, and sincerely hope it's friends
may fully realize all their anticipations of
good from ii, and that its opponents may, by
its effects, be agreeably and proftably disap-
pointed.
word upon another subject. Something
said by the Secretary of State in his recent
speech at Auburn, has been construed by acme
into threat that if i should be beaten at the
election will, between then aud the end OF my
constitutional term, do what 1 may be able to
ruin the government. [Cries of no danger-we
don't believe it Others regard the tact that
the Chicago Convention adjourned not sine die,
but to meet again il called to do so by par
ticular individual, as the intimation of a pur-
pose that if their nominee shall be elected he
will at once seize control of the Government.
/ hope the good people will permit themselves
to suffer no uneasiness on either point. Hear

live, l shall remain President until the 4th of
next March, tremendous cheering, and that
whoever shall be constitutionally elected there
for in November shall be duly installed as Pre-
sident on the ith Of March; and that in the in
terval shall do my utmost that whoever is to
hold the helm for the next voyage shall start
with the best possible chance of saving the
ship. prolonged cheers.
This is due to the people, both on principle
and under the Constitution. Their will, con.
stitutionally expressed, is the ultimate law for
all. If they should deliberately resolve to
country and their liberties, l know not the
power or the right to resist them. 1t is their
own business, and they must do as they please
with their own. L believe, however, they are
their liberties, and in this, in office or out Of 1t,
lam resolved TO stand by them. Applause.
/ may add that, in this purpose to save the
country and its liberties, no classes of people
seem so nearly unanimous as the soldiers in
the field and the sailors afioat Immense ap-
plause DO they not have the hardest Of it :!
Who should quail while they do notl God
bless the soldiers and sailors, with all their
brave commanders.

were made for that gentleman, but he was not

Mr.. J. L. Henshaw appeared upon the steps of
Mr. Fessenden's residence, and said: s'He was
authorized by the Secretary of the Treasury to
say that he was deeply sensible OF the compli-

nnwe1l to appear in the open air; he, therefore,
hoped they would excuse him"
Three cheers were given for Mr.. Fessenden.
