COMMUNICATED.
Ma. EDITOR lit is with great pleasure that /
announce to you the fact that the working men
of this city, and we may say throughout the
whole country, are leaving the Office holders
party and are now going for their country and
their countTy'S good, under their brave and pat
riolic lie IderS, Harrison and Tyler. Who can
gainsay their patriotism or their democracy
We believe that the great body of the working
people of this country are democrats in the
original sense of the word so much so, that they
will not support a man who has been nominated
by the Office holders of this country and who is
sound TO carry out their measures, whether ii be
for the good Of the people or not. In fact Mar
tin Van Buren,, the present self:Styled democrat.
too much from their government As much az
to say, we do not Ie5islate for the people-it is
for the Off holders.
cali upon my fellow working men to come
forward and enlist III ,r names with those whom
| believe are the My true Democrats, namely
the Wings. II is well known that Gen. Harri-
son has always been a Democrat; then why
should we remain with party who have the
name of Democrats, while they do not act up TO
any Of The principles Of the same? They pro-
feSs TO believe in rotation in office, but how do
they act up to it? BY appointing and maintain
ing, if possible, men in office for life. They
protested themselves in favor of one term for the
President. How have their actions coSreSponded
with their words? They profess 10 be in favor Of
b1nkS. They also profess tobe opposed to banksi
They profess to be in favor of per money!
They are also opposed TO paper money.
ask, in the language of candor, is there any de-
pendence to be placed in such party? What
that they can do, have they not done to injure
the working men of this country? We appeal
to them, because they have been the greatest
sufferers in this war against the people. And as
one of thai class, mean t. do all that / can, to-
words restoring confidence, and bring ibout our
wonted prosperity. A WORKING MAN.

BATHING.--We invite attention to the advt rt,s

most beautiful, anent, and extensive, in this
country, and all its arran ensnts aIe in the finest
style. During the past year it has undergone tho
rough renewal and to the lovers of that most delight
full luxury, presents inducements which cannot fail to
elicit an extensive patronage. The season has now
arrived when all classes of socety WI find p'els-
ant and invigoraing relaxation from the heat of the
weather and the fatg of the day, in the enjoyment
of the warm tepid iah. In city like Baltimore,
at least establishment of this kind should be

These facts are here restated, because as the war

to expose the false clamor in relation to it
Having said this much, that it may be understood
that we have selected the bank of the United States
to illustrate the tendency of the war on the credit
and banking Institutions of the country, not as the
partisan, but because the war was waged through
that bank; and hence, compelled to refer to,
and give it prominence in the discussion
