Union meeting. --In pursuance of a notice in the papers, that addresses would be delivered by the "Union" candidates for the State Convention, Metropolitan Hall was densely crowded on Saturday night by parties anxious to hear an expression of the views of the candidates in question.

Chas. Palmer and others. He was against the South out and out. He was the apologist of the North and the disparager of the South--its resources and power. There was no cause the response was unanimously, and from the ground-swell of the popular impulse — no! But Mr. Botts sees nothing to cause all the excitement! The Herald has done it all! He intimated that the epend for whatever she is to be on Southern support; and we hesitate not to say, that to elect Mr. Botts with the sentiments he has so boldly proclaimed will be one of the very worst things that coule evils which must be settled — most of them say now; and all bitterly denounce coercion.

Foreigners appealed to as a class--Mr. Bottstheir Flatterer. We do not remember so remarkable an instance of inconsistency as that of Mr. Jno. M. Botts' sudden change of relations towards foreigners. On Saturday night he bestowed upon them fulsome eulogies.

How stands Mr. Botts in regard, to this same question?
