excitement then existing there, the public
safety demanded he should be curtailed
in the exercise Of that right; and as the
public safety was paramount, he was fore
ed to succumb. In cities, in times Of ri
OTIS, knots of people are sometimes forbid
den to assemble on the street. This is
an interference with the personal liberty
of the citizen: but the public safety justi-
fes it by rendering this interference neces-
sary.


Then, if we look at the thing cooly
and calmly, enc in its legal aspect merely,
the Black Republicans have no cause of
complaint that they are not allowed o
hearing at the South. We cannot be ex.
pected to surrender our safety and peace
to enable them to exercise an abstract
right. Such an exercise would be 6a-
grant violation of our rights, because they
are such as are vital and practical; and
the man who would be guilty of asking
such sacrifice at our hands is either crazy

The STAMPEDE TO LINCOLN IN BALTI-
MoRE.-We clip the following from the

several hundred Americans Joined club

Thursday. The character OF the Exchange
leaves no doubt of the truth of the state.
ment. But as the Opposition may deny it,
we add the following corroborating evidence
from the Clippers account of the meeting in
question:


ain accordance with an advertisement
published in the morning papers, a vast
crowd assembled last night at Independence
Hall, corner of Gay and Fayette streets, to
organize Wide Awake Club to aid the
election of Lincoln and Hamlin. The hall
was packed almost to suffocation, but, it not
being large enough to hold more than one
half Of all seeking admission, those who
could not get inside, congregated in the
street and became warm in the cause of the
Republican nominees, whom they pledged
themselves to support, because of the defeat
of the American candidate for Mayor,

Year: 1860

In addition to what our correspondent
has stated, We point those who say our par
ty is necessarily a sectional one, to the fact
that in many of the Southern States Lin
coin will have electoral tickets, and that
| those tickets will be Uoted In Delaware re-
cent accounts concur in saying that the Re-
publican party is large and rapidly in
creasing. Four years hence, it will un-
| coubtedly be the largest party in the State.


In Maryland of late the party is making
wonderful progress Some of the most in
fluential men in the State, F. P. Blair, SEN,
and a. Winter Davis for instance, favor the
party and the Baltimore Patriot, paper of
! large circulation and influence, has been
leaning toward Lincoln ever since the Chi.
| cago Convention.


In Kentucky, able men have the cause in
hand, and where hundreds of votes were
cast for the party in 1856, thousands will
be given in 1860. Republicanism in our
sister State is a growing influence, and the
papers and public men there see, feel and
acknowledge it. Could men vote their
choice by ballot, the party would be pow
er indeed in the glorious old commonwealth
which has suffered so many evils from
Slavery.


In Missouri the Republicans lately elected
Representative to Congress who is an open
and avowed member of the party, and help
ed elect another, who will in all probability
be with them in future. In four years we
believe the party in that State will contend
successfully against all opposition, and carry
off more brilliant prizes than it has yet won.


In the District of Columbia the Republi-
can sentiment IS strong, and the party is
building itself up on a firm foundation. IF
Old Abe is elected, it will be the principal
party there.


Once let the Republicans elect a Presi-
dent, and let the South see that the party is
not so terrible a burglar as they think it
and then the party will exist in every
Southern State If Mr.. Lincoln should be
successful in November he will be inaugu-
rated under favorable auspices for his party.
Applications for Office will come up from the
South. They will of course be given to
Republicans if they can be found. Then we
shall all be surprised to see so many original
Republicans in the Slave States. Louisville,
Memphis, New Orleans, Mobile, Charleston,
Richmond, Norfolk, and Galveston will
swarm with them. Thus the party will ex-
tend itself all through the South, and in
1864 electoral tickets will be formed and
voted in every State, South rs well as
North Then will our conservative friends
be fully satisfied, if not before, that the
party is truly National. Then they will
all be with US against the slavery-extending
Democracy.

o'clock, P. NJ, high tide, and had two feet
to spare. She then started at full speed, the
band playing. At Sandy Hook the 8O-ton
anchor was secured with great difficulty.
The loop of the cat block having broken, it
was replaced, when the capstan was found
TO be too small for the cable, the slack Of
which was pulled out by the weight of the
anchor. This Jared the bow of the vessel
tremendously a dozen times. The sea was
very smooth and light and the vessel made
graceful roll of three degrees. Land was lost
sight of at half past eight P. NJ. At this time
the Highlands were last seen and there was
slight haze on the water bat a splendid
moonlight overhead. Among the passen-
gers there was much grumbling in cOnse-
qnence of the scarcity of water. This was
caused by the cock of compartment hav-
ing been left open, flooding the ice house
and store rooms. 4 considerable quantity
of produce and provisions was injured by
this disaster, and food, consequently became
scarce. At night FIVE hundred persons slept
on the deck, which was rendered very un-
