eeTHE BALTIMORE SUN"

NII1E BALsl llnORE SUN,
The paper mentioned above publishes to the
world the following
ss1'HE Positive understand that the bust
ness in expectation at the Point is so brisk that
freishts have risen and vessels are in demand
The business in ship-building is also brisk; so
much so, in fact, that every hand is Employed
AS the writer of this happens to live on the
Point, and is in the habit of daily mingling with
the mechanics, mariners and chambers of that
section of our town, it will be readily admitted
that he ought to know something of its business
condition; he therefore ayows that the editorial
of the Baltimore "Sun" is FALSE in spirit and
in letter, it is an admitted fact that Doctors
will Hisagree-pity that Ills so The "Demo-
cracy"-heaven save the mask-of the I'd ward
(Which ward beg leave to inform the editors
of the Sun is part and parcel OF felPs Point,) in
duplicating their brethren of the other parts
of the city to come down and help them to MAKE
UP meeting, publish the following as part OF
their call, and it will he remembered, that this
call is intended for tne meridian Of Fells Point,
of all who arc opposed to the suspension Of btt-
StneSS, ard all employment for mechanics and
IaborcrS until after the election, with view
to force them into the support Of Harrison" The
Democrats Wings OF the nation declare that the
measures of this administration have Frustrated
and nearly destroyed the business Of the country.
"The fancy and GRASoN democracy" of the
I'd Ward admit the suspension of business, but
say that it is merely postponed until after the
elections" The Wings and the Democracy agree
in the fact that business is suspended, the latter
have given their reason for the suspension. |
before said that Doctors will disagree, so will
witnesses, and now as to the force of the testi-
monY. The Wings and the Democracy embrace
all white adults living on the Point, as well as
those persons who are NOT citizens, as they who
are; as well women men. To sustain the for
mer declaration, l refer to Doctor kocklin, who
is PRESIDENT of the sfGERMAN DEMOCRATIC"
Convention, and who has not been more than
FOUR years in this country. For proof of the lat
ter, refer to a lady, who is the best man among
the Locos, and carries decidedly more socight
than any one of them. Up to this point of the
argument, the Wings and the democracy" are
together, and l am justified in viewing them in
their collective capacity. shall, therefore, aver
that the INHABITANTS of Fel's Point declare that
business is suspended"
But the Editors of the ESun" maintain the
contrary. Who is right, and upon what authori-
ty do the Editors of the efSun" assert that which
is opposed to the experience of every man and
woman upon the Point This editorial appears
on Tuesday morning, July 2Sth; on Monday af-
ternoon, July 9th the Loco Foco reporter, "a
very clever felsw, by the bye,) of that paper, is
seen drifting down Bond street, evidently OF
soit1ld''aSS, which, to landsman, is ne pleasant
predicament; and the writer of this, lniers, that
such information as that reporter was able, IN his
flying visit, to gather, it may be, from ono OF our
FEDERAL Governors DEMOCRATIC Justices OF
the Peace. Suffice it to say, that the article is
untrue; and deeply is it to regretted that It is So
There never was time, at least within the me-
mory of the writer, when the citizens of the
Point were so sorely pressed, as they now are,
when there were so many Baltimore vessels ly-
ing IDLE at the wharves, and so many mechanics
out OF employment; when, as was truly remark
ed by ship chandler, on yesterday, Ghe very
day our friend was making up his report0 ece'y
day looked like Sunday; the time was when
Baltimore merchants not only owned vessels, but
kept them constantly employed, carrying cargo
upon the 0tcller'S account; when merchants re-
fused, to use the words of the late MIR. John
Donnell, ''to make pack horses Of their ships"
Are they able to do so now? Mechanics of FelPs
Point, where are yourfellow apprentices? where
are they with whom you worked and associated
Alas they have been driven, by heartless
Tory Administrations, to seek that employment
abroad, which they could not fnd at home. In
conclusion, would advise the Editors of that
paper to examine narrowly into the notifies of
persons, who furnish them with the news of the
day. DEPTFoRD HUNDRED.
