THE BALTIMORE VIsIToRs-On Saturday
evening, after the committee of our Councils
having the Baltimore Councils in charge had
shown them around as much as the Limited
time would allow, they were escorted to the
Seaton Heuse, where, at about O'Clock, they
dined IN company with the members Of our
City Councils. The dinner was magnificent
one, consisting of an abundance OF substan-
haIs, including every delicacy, and the ap-
pearance OF the tables reflected great credit
upon the house, there being a protusion of or.
namental dishes upon it. There were three
tables set, al which about ninety persons sat
down, Alderman Utermehle and Councilman
Larner presiding at the principal one. and
Councilmen Owen and Wilson and Aldermen
McCathran and Garfield at the others. The
sioe of the principal table, while, besides the
members of the delegation present, we noticed
Capt. HI. Carmichael, Marshal of the Balti-
more police, Mr. Starr, Of the Baltimore Clip
per, and several other representatives OF the
Baltimore press.
After some time was spent in discussing the
substantials, Alderman Utermehle stated that
IL gave the Washington Councils great pleas
ure to entertain the visitors, and that they had
done their best to make the visit az agreeable
one, although the circumstances were unfa-
vorable; but he trusted that they (the.visitors)
would be as well pleased with their reception
as the members of Washington Councils were
IL having an opportunity to entertain them
He proposed
.'fhe hesIth of our distinguished guests"
which was drunk with applause.
DIR. G. w. Wayson, chief marshal of the Bal
timore delegation, replied, rendering the thanks
OF the visitors. He referred 10 the now known
character of his city for loyalty, although for
two or three DAYS he so-called flag of the stars
and bars had 1ioated defantly in their midst.
The good citizens had put down the spirit that
had raised this flag, and they took the stand
beside the Government which should have
been taken years ago. 1t seemed that the peo-
pie OF Baltimore and Washington had been
living hundreds of miles apart instead OF forty,
but he was glad to find that they were begin
ming TO feel and know that as Washin gton was
situated geographically in the lap of Maryland,
the people were learning that they were the
inhabitants OF the same soil, and he hoped soon
that an opportunity might occur when they
would have the pleas ure OF enter tanning their
Washington friends.
Mr. ID. Ireland expressed his satisfaction
seeing what he had-the sublime spectacle of
the Inauguration of plain citizen elevated to
the Chief Magistracy Of this country, which
had been derided by the monarchies OF the old
world. We were now ahead Of all-none being
equal TO Us on land or sea, and he hoped that
some day Europe would find that we are as
ready TO advance the cause OF freedom abroad
rs at home.
The Union Glee Club, under the lead of Gen.
Hayward, sang one or two national airs amid
much applause.
Mr. N ID. Larner proposed "The State of
Nav of q hoc ~
star spangled banner, which shall soon wave
over our entire land" which was drunk with
cheers.
Alderman Ilovd was then called on and re.
marked that it was pleasure to entertain
sovereign people who had q right to vote, al
though they (the Baltimoreans) We're so short
distance from this city. Washington had
population of l2O,OG0, and yet had no repre-.
sentative in Congress; but she possessed some
rights, viz: 10 be taxed and drafted every three
or four weeks. The very cause for the war Of
the revolution was the same which Washing
ton com plains of now-taxation without rep
resentatiOn. Taxing 10000 people without the
right TO vote was about played out, and the
movement to remedy this evil might as we'll be
commenced at once, and he would engage the
city OF Baltimore as COUNSEL In the case. ZAP
Plause
MI Larner proposed the health of Mr. John
r. Cox, which brought out that gentiemanin a
neat little speech, in which he happily brought
in the names of most of the delegation.
Mr. LLOYD proposed the health OF Mr.. Gregg,
OF Michigan, and MIR. G.. appropriately re-
Gen Hayward was called upon for q speech
and for some time exclaimed the attention of
the audience and caused deal OF merriment
in a capital speech.
The balance of the evening was spent by
songs, toasts, Alderman Tom Lloyd singing
his celebrated operate piece, Capt. z. NJ. Du-
bant "The Flag of our UniOn," in admirable
style, and Mr.. Long capital song, and about
~ O'Clock the company joined hands singing
"Should auld acquaintance be forgot" toll

Glee Club
