Independen, Mee,ing.

meeting of citizens opposed to the nomi-
nation of Capt. Jacob Mcclellan for Mayor was
held last evening in the hall over the First
National Bank. The room was we'll filled,
about 80 persons being present. john Libby,
ESQ.,, presided, and James Noyes, Esq, was
Secretary.
A committee, appointed at a previous meet
ing, reported that there was such decided oppo-
sition to Capt. Mcclellan it was highly neces-
sary, in order to bring out full Republican
vote, that third candidate should be nomi-
mated. They also submitted call for mass
meeting, to be signed by those Republicans
who were opposed to the nomination of Capt
Mcclellan. The report was ,cepted, and the
call for the mass meeting was signed by many
of those present.
Some considerable discussion ensned upon
the propriety and manner OF making an indie
pendent nomination, which was participated
in by Messrs. W. A. Rice, Judge Davis, w. L.
Southland, NJ. G. Palmer, c. R. Goodall, F. G.
Rich, J. n. Winslow, H. G. Peabody, A. H.
Waite, c. r. Milliken, and others.
twas finally voted that it was expedient to
nominate an independent candidate.
Mr. Milliken then presented a letter from
William Deering, Esq, declining to have his
name used as candidate for Mayor
After some further discussion it was voted
to appoint committee of seven to nominate
a candidate for Mayor said committee to re-
port at some future meeting, perhaps on Sat-
urday night. The following gentlemen con-
stitute that committee: Ward l. John Blake :
Ward 2, H. G. Peabody Ward 3, L. A. Saw
yer; Ward 4, ID. 3. Kicker; Ward 8, J. B.
Greeley; Ward 6, Aretas Shurteff; Ward Z,
J. E. Haseltne.
On motion of Judge Davis,
Voted, That if the nomination already made
can be withdrawn, and the question can be
submitted to new delegates to be chosen at the
next Ward meetings, we will abide the suit,
and give up any proceedings for an independ-
ent nomination.
Messrs. M. G. Palmer, James Noyes and C..
R. Goodell were appointed a committee to
procure hall for future meetings.
After transacting some other unimportant
business the meeting adjourned to Saturday

Presidents course, and his reply was as fol-
lows: s--z-zssas,.aa...a..ssza ss.s
The President returned his profound thanks
tor this expression Of approval by the council
of the city of Baltimore of his official conduct
as the chief executive officer of the nation.
The manifestation of confidence and res ect
from the citizens of Baltimore was at this
time pecuiarlly acceptable and gla ifyirg.
Our country is in the midst of grave perils,
and our free institutions are more endangered
now than when during the rebellion our ar
mics were struggling for the republic in the
field. In this critical period Of public affairs,
it behooves every citizen who feels an interest
in the preservation of constitutional liberty to
consider that ours is a government of law and
to REQUIRE our legislators that when a Great
measure is proposed the first inquiry shall be /:
Does it conform TO the Constitution which
they have solemnly sworn to support" 1t
would be the greatest OF victories it the public
mind, carried back within the pale of the Con-
stitution, would demand that all legislation
should be strictly tested by the organic law.
The idea that the Constitution no longer ex-
lists, or that, although existing, laws must be
made outside of its provisions, must ultimate
ly lead US to despotsm and tyranny
If the judicial and executive branches are to
be broken down and the government resolved
in and placed under the control of the legisla-
tive departments If the rights, the interests aid
the destlnies Of this great country are to be
t,aneici Icu 10 Tue hands OF few, whose Will
alone IS TO be the measure OF their power, our
republican institutions win soon yield to the
most absolute despotism ever Witnessed by the
world. y.- - .1tasa EIH
The struggle in which l have been compeIl-
ed to engage has not been for my aggrandize-
ment; my sole aim has been 10 bring back the
government to the plain principles of the
Constitution, and if could accomplish that
object the measure of my ambition would be
filed to overlooking. That great end achiev-
ed, il would be the highest pleasure of my life,
making my reverence to the people and giving
my thanks to Heaven, to yield my aspirations
to others. I repeat that the encouragement
given me on this occasion is very acceptable.
The stoutest heart, when surrounded by doubts
and menaced by perils, needs countenance and
support. The kind expressions of approval of
the city council of Baltimore, sincerely appre-
ciated, will be remembered with gratitude as
long as life lasts

Col. Jones yesterday, at II o'clock, was par

and friends, embracing many of his comrades
who are now connected with the Army and

Quoted by Rev. Dr. Carruthers, with singing by
the State street choir. The address and prayer
were peculiarly appropriate and affecting,
and the pieces of music by the choir well Sc
lected and finely sung, causing the tear to
moisten the eye of those who had been accus-
toned to seeing their comrades fall around
them by hundreds. 1851 AM
His remains were deposited in the receiving
tomb in the Eastern Cemetery, about seventy
members of the Army and Navy Union, ac-
companied by Chambers Brass Band, escort
ing the procession from his residence to that
place.
