perfect quiet.
Proceedings of the town meeting held at
the Centre Mike house, in the CITY Of

|tnuchinS the election OF Pres'den- and-Vire
prcsijen. os the Uaited States. This is 81
delicate subject, one which rt is agreed on
all hands there is mo- OCCASION to touch.
The election is not orly radisrused bu 4
|indispatable. The constitution has sait.
that each state is entitled to 4 number %
electors equal TO the number of it's Sc
majors and Representatives, who shalt
be appointed in such manner as the Legs.
lures shalt prescribe and it we attempt to
put our hands on this power, we might AS
well, in my apprehension, arrosatet to our
selves the appointments of President
and Vice.President. Ii we do away the
decision of the Electoral Body, which is
as independent of us as we are of them,
the constitution is in my opinion vergng
to its. dissolution
Mr.. Bacon said Ne certainly should con-
sent that the resolution should lie on the
table. He said he was himself by no
means certain that this House or both Hou-
SEES had the power of acting on the sub
ject; but he thought it an attention due TO
the memorials to give them reference tn
select committee. He did not wish to COM
| NIT himself or the House on the subject,
for, he repeated, he was by no means GER
tain of the propriety of the proceeding.
The resolution was ordered to lie on the
| table. $50. $50

During the interval, when the Committee
had retired, Mr.. Thomas X. Dorsey MEM
Der OF the state Legislature, delivered a
manly and truly republican address. TIE
committee returned, and reported the fol-
towing preamble and resolutions, which
we're adopted without the opposition of a
single voice.
It has been usual, in times of peculiar
dIihcuity, for the citizens Of the Uuited
States to express their sentiments of the
political conduct of those, whom they have
delegated to manage the public concerns
OF the nation. The existing crisis presents
period IN the circumstances Of our coua-
try, which demands that our Citizens am
nounce their sense Of the policy, adopted
by the ministers of government. They
feel the severe and unaccustomed privation
OF the many benefits resulting from free 6
unrestricted commerce: and, as il is their
unquestionabIe right, 80 at this time, is il
an tmperious Guty to say, whence In their
opinion these em5arrassments are derived.
No section OF the union can more Justly
appreciate, none, certainly, can more SEN
sIoly feel the value of commerce, than the
citizens of Baltimore none, therefore, can
have superior claims to respect aud atten-
tion, In Offering their opinions to govern
ment, and their fellow citizens. Perhaps

dence in the wisdom and integrity Of the
statesmen who now preside in the national

The citizen, inhamed with the charms

not resist the temptation of adding
them to their stock in trade. While
they were secreting their prize. the
owners returned from a public house
where they had been drinking pot
of porter, and saw the whole transnc.
lion. They rushed out, seized The
!sraelites, locked them up in the sta
bic, and went in quest of certain
things which promised better sport
than a prosecution. They returned,
tied the two Jews face to face, and
matted together their two boards,
smeercd with warm shoemakers wax.
AS soon as the wax was cold, and a
sufficient number of spectators had
gathered togelhe. to view this frater-
nal Jewish hug, the Positions at in.

which caused such a conclusion of

on the thieves, the spectators were
highly pleased with this speciment of
their dlstributiye justice.
