TIE SOUTHERN LoYALusTs


{ i baIouches to the hotel As no one build
ing could accommodate the large number who
desire to welcome these fre-tried patriots and
q m champions of equal rights, II had been ar
,anged that both Faneuil Hall and fremont
Temple should be opened.
At FaneuIl Hall.
The Southern delegates were enth realistically
cheered as they made their appearance on the
platform OF Faneui Hall this evening. They
were introduced by Governor Bullock who was
loudly cheered when he said that they repre-
sented every loyal State except one, South
Carolina, and that he regretted that there was
not one from that State with whom he could
walk arm-in-arm into this Hall. HIS theory
was that South Carolina fraternity was ex-
hausted in another Philadelphia Convention, IN
which, thank God, he had no part. THIS sally
occasloned roars OF laughter. When, in the
name OF the people of Massachusetts, he wei.
coined the Southern patriots TO Faneuil Hall
the cheering and applause were dealenmg and
prolonged again. When he welcomed them TO
the presence of the great heroes whose portraits
adorned these walls, ending the list with the
significant emphasis, And those Adamses," the
cheering and laughter again broke out. 1t was
not comphm entary to Minister Adams aud his
son, who presided at Democratic meeting here
the previous evening.
MIR. Maynard's Speech.
The first speaker, Mr.. Maynard, was received
with tremendous cheers By this time there
was not even standing room in the hail. His
! speech has been well received especially those
passages in which be refuted the ISLANDERS OF the
Democratic orators of the previous evening, aad
claimed that there was a South, 5000, 600 strong
| which did not belong to Jefferson Davis, and

| much applauded.
| Governor BrOwnlOVv's Speech.
Governor Brownlow followed, and made one
| OF his usual speeches, full OF sharp hits. His
! assertion that a. he was Governor OF the great
4 reconstructed State of Tennessee and not q mere
| accidental President, who wished to maintain
the dignity of the office, was drowned in tumult
| OF deafening cheers. He Kept the audience IN a
| roar. An alluson to Beecher's bogus charity
