WIN H. WARFIELD, of Carroll,
The Globe of Tuesday commenting on the
wing procession says:
While the political Qualification was going
forward, of which we have extracted the account
from the Opposition prints, some raglcal events
took place, which we might have supposed
would have commanded more interest among
men of feeling than all the senselss mummery
they describe Several persons of responsibility
Lost their lives in the course of the day, and yet
the heartless throng seem hardlyto have inquir-
ed how it happened. Our readers will see now
one incident is mentioned by the lntelhgencers
correspondent The Baltimore American dispo-
SEES of the whole together, at the end OF ms ac-
count of the parade, with much less Parucularl-
ty than he notices ga barrel of hard cider IN the
rear of the cabin and gourd suspended by It,"
Ifthere could be an aggraSation OF the murder
of an unofending citizen, whose death and the
circumstances of it awakened in the bosoms OF all,
the deepest sympathy, it is the sneering manner in
which it is thus treated by the official organ of the
federal executive-the pensioned hbeler of his
country, of her best men, and of her best nstitu-
tons. The correspondent of the Intelligencer
said Gone Of the wing Marshals has been killed
BY locofoco, with bar of iron in the crowd"
and the heartless editor wonld east reProach upon
the members Of the Convention, and upon the
whig press of Baltimore, because there was no
parade, no show-no elamor, no attempt at stage
effect II one of the federal Office holders had been
killed by whig, the Globe audit affiliated
echoes would have raised such q Shout, such yell,
that the noise yvoul have reached the uttermost
parts Of the Republic. They aoOald hare made
political capital out ofit-It would have revi-
we'd their dying hopes, They would have rejoi-
Ced with exceeding greatjoy.
The contrast between the Globe and the wing
press is striking indeed, The murdered wing was
an honest mechanic; he had united with others,
who, like himself, were tired of the experiments
of this demented administration, and waspeaca-
bly marching in the ranks, when the minions Of
a corrupt government, stimulated by the charac-
ter of those whom thoy serve, insulted the pro-
cession by attempting to force themselves into
the ranks with an exhibition intended to be Of
fensive. As one of those appointed to preserve
order, he interposed, as he should do, to prevent
it, and was killed, as is believed, by one who
but the other day was pardoned by the Governo
after having been condemned for an assault witt
intent to kill.
The current of public sentiment was so strong
that twas the duty of the press to forbear to say
what the community felt.
The language Of Ct the Globe is calculated tt
stimulate he partizans of power to further out
rage. The conduct of the wing party, of thu
wing press, is regulated by respect for order
regard for the laws, and forbearance which
relies on the constituted tribunals to avenge thei
insulted dignity.

THE FAIR.-Yesterday after the hustle OF
the Convention had ceased, we availed ourselves
ofthe first leisure moment to look upon the ladies
at the law buildings, holding fair for the benefit
of the Sabbath School Of the first Baptist Church,
and an interesting sight we saw; woman, dear wo-
man engaged in her appropriate duty OF charity
and love. Many and various were the articles
exhibited for sale, consisting chiefly however, OF
the pro auctions oftheir own fair hands. How
pleasant the task ofthus contributing their abun-
dance, to supply the wants of the poor and needy
Among those in attendance we saw more than
one, whose services will be remembered in the
prayers Of many Of the numerous attendants OF
theSabbath School How sweet the incense OF
heinfant heart, when offered up as tribute OF gra-
titude for beneyolence like this. Verify they
musthave their reward. We learn that the sales
yesterday and the day before were nearly or quite
one thousand dollars, and that the fair will be
continued to day, and perhaps tomorrow. At the
conclusion it is proposed to sell what remains at
auction.
1t is proper here to remark that the Sunday
School of the First Baptist Church, under the
benevolent exertions of the present Superin-
tendents, has in the last four months increased
four-fold and, from small beginning, in that
short space of time, now has seventy teachers
and three hundred scholars and would have
had more but for want of room to accommodate
them. The funds raised by this Fair are intend
ed to defray the expense Of fitting up room
which will receive six hundred.
