he was bound, when duty or the interest of
society called him, to devote all his powers
to the service of his country and fellow citi-
zens. Speaking Of the late riots which he de-
plorcd as an American and Baltimorean, he
assured his fellow citizens that similar event
should not occur hereafter, ut least during the
term in which he exercised the powers of
the Office.
! o. He had said that he was party man, but
in the administration of the duties Of the high
and responsible station to which he had just
been called he would regard no party dstinc-
tons; we are all American citizens, all Balti-
moreans, and as such entitled to equal rights
and privileges, which should, and must be
preserved. In regard to the claims Of an ap-
plicant for office, he would require no other
qualifications than those which the duties OF
the station rcquired-he would ask no other
questions than, is the applicant honest q capa-
! ble?-s he sober?-a friend to the laws and
the peace Of the city?
Gen. SMITH then remarked that his grand
father had lived to the age of one hundred
and four, and were his life extended to the
same duration he hoped that it would be spent
as hitherto, in the defence Of his country
and its laws, and in the protection of his fell
low citizens and the peace and order of the
community; and Notwithstanding his age,
which was eighty-three years, he was now as
he always had been, prompt to obey the call
of his fellow-ctizens when the interest OF the
community required his services.

them If they are at variance with his wish
es and preindices, he orders out his army and
his navy-blockades the seat Of the insurrec-
tion-and with his levelled ordnance aud
brisding bayonets, reduces the REBELs TO
oBEDIHNcE.
How truly it has been said that this coun-
try is in the midst of a revolution How in
defatigably, how consistently have the men
now in power operatedto bring all the other
branches Of Government into disrepute, and
to concentrate all respect and all authority in
the person of the Executive!' Hitherto the
Judiciary and the Senate have been he prom
inent objects OF assailment-but now blow
is struck at the whole Legislative Power
Appointed merely TO EXECUTE the Laws
General Jackson has not only claimed the
right to initiate them to arrest their progress
by the arbitrary interposition ofhis Veto-to
neglect their enforcement when they do not
correspond with his private opinons-but he
goes a step further, and ncites the people to
rebellion against authorities of their own ap-
pointment, by the assurances that it is some
times PATRIOTIC DUTY TO VIOLATE THE
LAWS! Thus would he at once obiterate the
Law and the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES with all
written codes and all popular representation,
and render our future history record of
perpetual and miserable conflicts between
Anarchy and Power.

lie congratulated the citizens of Baltimore
on the restoration of peace and order-that
he had always been n party man, and during
a long life had adhered to the principles of
the party with which his political existence
had been associated-tbat he had been mil
ltary man and in executive stations was more
convcrsan, with the duties Of Il military Off
Ger than with the exercise of civil executive
fower-that he ID I'd accepted the appointment

oi the present tcrn, and had no intention of

COMMODORE RODGERS.

| This gallant officer, and noble speci-
men of man, arrived with his family in
this city from Newport, on Saturday
evening last. 1t is with sincere pleasure
that we learn from friend, that his
he alth has greatly improved. How
grateful would be to us the annunciation
that it was perfectly restored; and how
equally grateful TO the whole country to
read it, Few men have seen more SER
vice, or performed it more faithfully
Com. Rodgers went to sea in his thr-
teenth year, and against the wishes Of
his father, who yielded at last to the de-
sire ofhis son, with one request, and that
was, that he should promise him to be
temperate, and avoid the use of ofspirituous
liquors. Com. Rodgers made the pro-
mise, and faithfully kept it-never to
this moment having taken as much as a
table spoonful Of spirituous liquors-if
we may except an occasional glass Of
wine at his own table, or at the tables of
his friends What an example of flial
obedience; and how worthy Of imitation
We further learn from our friend that
Com. Rodgers has been on ship board
t,centy-seren years-and that whether in
command Of single ship or a squadron,
has never deserted tho deck, if the mig hit
indicated stormy weather. His practice
has always been to put himself in his
coat, and walk the deck until the storm
was past, or in the morning to change
his wet apparel, and turn in and take the
necessary sleep.
The public duly appreciate Commo-
dore Rodgers services in the late war.
In the noble ship, the President, he kept
large portion of the Navy of Great
Britain that would have otherwise been
lowering on our shores, in chase Of him,
and with daring that nothing but gen
uine courage, and a consciousness Of
consummate skill would have attempted,
looked into the chops of tie British
Channel. How grateful it is just to
touch upon the life and character Of such
man.
Com. Rodgers has been, at the Navy
Board, one of its most devoted and valu-
able officers. We believe it has been
yielded to him for the last eight years, to
model all our ships, and in all respects
to decide upon their length, breadth of
beam, depth, and proportions, generally.
Our friend put the question to the Com
modore whether he thought the Penn
sylvania would work as well as ships of
the smaller class. His answer was-"I
have not doubt of it," He then spok c
of the comparative working ofthe North
Carolina in squadron, and said she an
swered with equal readiness to the rud-
der of the smaller ships of the squadron.
The same proportions being observed,
the same results will be experienced
How we should like to see Com. Rodg-
ers on the quarter deck Of this noble
ship.
May the life of this gallant officer be
long saved to his family and country.

IMPORTANT FROM MICHIGAN.
DETROIT, Sept. Sd

DElkolT, oept. Oh.
"The Toledo war has again produced
a great excitement, and things look far
more portentious than ever. The Judg-
es of Wood county will attempt TO hold
a Court on Monday next. Lucas is pre-
pared with troops to protect them. Ma
son will make an effort 10 arrest them
and for doing so efIectually, has ordered
1900 men TO Monroe tomorrow. Six
companies volunteers have passed here
since last night, two leave in the Gener-
| al Brady tomorrow; the excitement is
great, and fear the worst; nothing but
the interference of the general govern
ment or total backing out Of one of the
two Lelligerents can save the American
name from eternal disgrace. Forbear.
ancc is out of the question, and the apa-
thy of General Jackson ut this period, is
most truly astonishing. Lucas is deter
mined; and Mason, backed as he is by
the unanimous feeling Of Michigan, dare
not attempt to retrace his steps. The
matter will be decided for veal or woe
before you have read this; let those who
have placed us in this dilemma answer
to their consciences, their country and
their God, for the consequences, what
ever they may be. Our intelligent men
look with alarm at the fearful prospect,
but they are determined.
