Dear sir: As an incident of to-day may be misrepresented, I will communicate to you the precise facts of the case. I left here this morning at half-past 6, for my home, in the railroad train. Ten miles from this place the cowcatcher of the engine ran against a pile of eight railroad ties, which had been carefully placed across the track. Fortunately six of the ties were scattered right and left of the road, and the train continued to run for about five hundred me but that coolness and presence of mind which prompted me, under Providence, to see and guard against the danger prompt as electricity. Please hurry on the arming of our volunteers in Frederick, as I am doing here, that we may be ready for spies within and traitors without our State. Yours, respectfully, Francis Thomas.

Doc. 115. speech of Francis Thomas at the front street theatre, in Baltimore, Md., October 29, 1861. My fellow-citizens: I do not think, on any occasion of my life, I have felt so great cause foit has ever since been forced upon the Democratic party by the South. In this connection Governor Thomas quoted Mr. Clay's declaration: So help me God, I will never vote for the introduction of slions of a new State, I would never sanction the incorporation of slavery as an institution. Mr. Thomas distinctly averred that there was nothing in the designs of the Chief Magistrate, or of any ofrats organizing an opposition to Government, and giving evidence of sympathy with traitors.

r seats in the House, where resolutions on the slavery question, which had been prepared by Mr. W. B. Shepherd, of North Carolina, and Mr. J. R. Ingersoll, of Philadelphia, were offered, and were voted for by every member of the House, excepting three or four of those who were then known as Nullifiers. This, in substance, I think, was the statement made to the meeting at Front street Theatre. It is proper I should say now, if I did not then, that I have no reason to suppose that there were many persons in this meeting of the members of Congress, who were not trusted any further than I was in the purposes for which it was assembled. Looking to it then, as I did, in connection with many, very many other incidents which had come under my observation, I believed it to be one of the means relied upon to continue that agitation which had commenced with the nullification of the tariff laws, and is now shaking the very foundation of the Government. Very respectfully, Francis Thomas.
