COURTHOUSE SQUARE.

The meeting in the Courthouse Square
was very large and enthusiastic one
Thousands of persons assembled in the
front of the north entrance early in the
eevening, and speaking was kept up unit
late hour of the night.
The meeting was then permanently or.
ganized by the appointment Mayor Sher
man as chairman.
SPEECH OF HON. B. W. HANNA.
The Hon. Bailies W. Hanna being in.
troduced, spoke as follows:
Mr.. CHAIRMAN AND FELLOw-CITI-
zENs-In the midst of the great excite
ment with which we are this moment sur
rounded, and after the developments OF
this days deliberations Of the most impor-
tant convention that has ever yet assem-
bled upon the American continent, feel
great delicacy in attempting to address
the vast multitude who are now before
me. feel more, my fellow-citizens. like
lifting up my voice in hallelujahs ard
thanksgiving to Almighty God for what
has this day been done for an outraged
people. [Checrs. After three er four
years of the most wicked and remorseless
oppression which has yet rested on the
heads of any people, 1 believe, tonight,
1 can say that the daylight of redemption
is in the east, in our horizon. The win
dows of the heaven, believe to-day, have
been opened to us, and that the white
winged messenger of peace will soon
spread its wings over this people. Cheers.
My fellow-citizens, it is now almost four
years since the terrible disasters which
overwhelmed you first hal their origin,
and it becomes us to stop and think as to
the causes of our troubles, that we may
know what we ought to do in the future.
The republican party shall no longer talk
to US about party. The American people
to-day have resolved themselves into
party which intend to sweep this land as
the fire sweeps the prairie grass here in
our own beloved State. [Cheers.] They
shall no longer talk to us either about 10y
atty as test of American citizenship. i
heard Gov McComas, who stands With
me on the platform, once say, on the day
on which THE CHICAGO TIMES was sup
pressed in your midst, that loyalty. if it
means devotion to constitutional liberty,
is glorious word; but if it means adhe-
rence and fidelity to Abraham Lincoln
and his monstrous policy, is dannable
word. [Cheers.] want you to night
to remember that the warriDg element of
the southern States, in the beginning of
this great contest, offered to this people

upon the streets. The nerves of tn
alarmed musicians of the Western Bant
proved unequal to such display, and has
tily quitting the vehicle they took theil
place in its rear, leaving the fre-naker
to its uudisputed possession The har
mony which they discoursed as they
marched along was not lnarred by thi'
fevacuation, and the mirth and hilaritj
enjoyed in. the vehicle was certainly iu'
creased.
The procession, ever lengthening as i
moved, Passed along Clark street, and
turned into: Harrison. Along both tho
roughfares the sidewalks were completely
janmed. Every window and doorstep
was crowded, and from .al sides rose
again and again ringing cheers for both
the nominees of the convention. Nowhere
was to be heard one dissentient voice, but
all hailed the demonstration with enthusi-
asm and joy.
Upon reaching Michigan avenue the
spectacle became more than ever impo-
sing Hundreds of those marching had
provided themselves with rockets and
other fireworks, and these there came
into play. All around was one grand
stream of fire. A number of the houses
we're illuminated, and from these also
proceeded continuous shower of glisten-
ing sparks. Conspicuous amongst these
was the residence of Mr.. John Palmer,
who had displayed, besides a number OF
variegated lamps, several fine Transparent
cies One of these bore the motto, '.Give
me more men and1 will give You Rich
mond." Another, "McClellan is our
leader, ahd we are marching along" A
third bore the inscription, "McClelian is
the choice OF the army and the people,"
Looking along the avenue. as the head
Of the column swept round into Lake
street, it was impossible for any one not
to be impressed with the grandeur of the
display.
Along Lake street the excitement SEEM
ed even to increase. All were impressed
by the imposing and magnificent display.
All were equally earnest in proclalmine
their sympathy with the occasion. On
still the vast procession swept, and the
street became ablaze with light, and yet,
when the head of the column turned into
Market street, the stream of men had not
ceased to pour forth from the avenue -
Upon every side one could hear the ejae-
ulations of wonder and delight, and all
agreed that never before had such glo-
Tious display been witnessed In thIs city.
In front of the Court House the air
seemed filed with fire. Rockets by hun
dreds flew upwards into the air, and the
sky seemed filled with descending mete-
ors. The procession, in some places
marching four deep, swept on, and some
idea may be formed of its magnitude from
the fac. that over twenty minutes elapsed
before the whole body passed the Sher
man house. 1t thence proceeded to the
place from whence it started, and, upon
arriving at the Hall of the Invincible
Club, began quietly to disperse. The
whole of the proceedings were most admi-
rably conducted, and one Of the greatest
demonstrations ever seen passed off with
out the occurrence of single accident.

six distinct terms before they went into
war now raging in this land. Senator
Crittenden, of Kentucky came forward
with his settlement, and I believe that
without one exception every republican
member of Congress voted that measure
down. Then came the Douglas compro-
mise-the compromise Of your own hon
ored citizen: [Cheers.1 After that we
had the border State compromise. Aad
subsequently Old Virginia, the mother of
the southern States, about 10 hold her
convention,I think it was on the Eth
day of February, called upon as in the
northern States to meet her, in order to
arrange terms by which she could save
| Virginia to the Union. am talking
history tonight. 1t is net what think
or what say to my Republican friends if
they are here it is the history of your
land. And how was this proposition met
In Indiana, where live, Gov. Morton re-
fused to appoint commissioners. nor
would he do so until the democratic par
ty said if he did not do so they would as
semble and send commissioners to that
convention, and at last he appointed
them. You will recollect that at this
time seven States had gone out of. the
Union. But Virginia had not; North
Carolina had not; nor Tennessee, Arkan-
sas, Missouri, Maryland, Kentucky, or
Delaware. Virginia stretched forth her
arms to the northern people at such q
time. She said to them: "If you will
meet US in convention and offer us some
honorable terms, we viii: be able to hold
the Old Commonwealth in the Union and
bring back the States which have sece-
ded." fCheers1 Well, that convention
net. and what were the terms agreed
upon2 They were simply that north OF
the line 36 80 slavery should be forever
excluded, AID south of that line the sta
tus of the territories to be affected should
be the controlling law under the contract.
Now, what truc-hearted man, woman or
child, in all the length and breadth of
the land, would not have accepted this
proposition rathef than have had war?
[Cheers.] And yet, when the conven
tion asked the republican party in power
to engraft this proposition in the consti-
tuition, every member of that party voted
the measure down. The result was, my
fellow-citizens, that Virginia could no
longer hold herself as State in the
Union. Cheers.1 We have to look at
this question like men. North Carolina
followed. then Tennessee, Arkansas, and
Missouri, while Kentucky and Delaware
have been held in the Union as we oil
know. Our republican friends always
say we make our speeches about the raw
ages of the North, and say nothing about
the South. We are not in the South
We are here as northern men, and as
Northern men have great and sacred du-
ties to perform. 1t is for this reason that
L make these illusions to the history of
our public troubles to-day.
After this, several other speeches were
made by prominent men at this stand,
which received the enthusiastic applause
Of the immense crowd, but which we
have not room for in the Union.

SHERMAN HOuSE.

The enthusiasm of the crowd in from
of the Sherman House was immense
Twenty thousand persons at least wer
packed in Clark street from Lake to Ran
dolph, and on the latter railway trave
was entirely suspended on account of tk,
impenetrable mass of human beings as
sembled together. When the procession
passed this point thousands of person!
came from other parts of the city, and f
nally the throng became SO dense that To-
comotion was almost an utter impossible
ty. Speeches were made by number o.
distinguished persons, and during por
ton of the evening the balcony was occu
pied by two speakers at one and the same
time. as>
Mr.. Francis j. Tucker, of New York
was the first speaker introduced. He
spoke at considerable length, reviewing
the illegal acts Of the administration, and
advocating eloquently the cause of peace
and Union. The speakers remarks were
received with repeated bursts of applause
by the vast assemblage. Eloquent speech
-es were also delivered by Hiram Ketch
um, Jr., of New York, Mr.. Strong, Of
Wisconsin, and Mr.. johnson, of New
York.
SPEECH OF HON. r. T. MERRICK.
Hon. Richard T. Merrick was loudly
and enthusiastically called for. In re-
sponse to the unanimous demand he ap-
peared upon the balcony, and when the
cheering had subsidized, spoke as follows:
I rejoice to be with you once again.
[ Applause While away from you for
tine last several months, it was my contin-
ual and unwavering purpose to be in Iii
nois at this time to join you in that great
contest for constitutional right and per-
sonal freedom which / have joined you

which, / have been with you during the
lart three years of eur degradation and
slavery. Immense applause. In con-
formity with that purpose, I am here to-
night, in this the State OF my adoption,
[applause] where have boen for the last
seven years, and where, by the blessing
Of God, if constitutional government is
secured to US, and a right to live where I
