BALTIMORE MARKET,

Office ofMe BALTIMORE AMERIcAN, Sept, 90.
On Saturday a sale of City Mills Flour was
made at $3.50. To-day there is nothing doing ly
which to establish quotation.
In Susquehanna Flour we hear Of transac-
tions to-day.
GRAIN.-The Wheat market has declined, un-
der the influence of the late English advices Pri-
ces are not well settled to-day, but we think that
quotation of 81, 20 TO 81, 80 for fair to prime Md
reds will very nearly indicate the present market
value. A sale of Md. white wheat made to-
day at Sl,37, which before the news would have
brought 81, so.
We quote Md. white Corn to-day 67 Go cts,
and yellow at 6s a 20 cts. a sale of Pennsyvnni
yellow to-day at 20 cents.
Sales of Nd. Rye at ~ IS cents. Sales OF
Md. Oats at Al cents.

deed TO Goyerner Porter to send the Buckshot he.
70 and quantom friend Of Thsd Stevens the anti
bet paying Henry Frick, to the legislature from a
county that usually gives little less than thou
sand democratic majority. But we are unwilling
to believe that any true democrat will persist in fur.
iher opposition to the democratic ticket merely be-
that ticket is not composed of the men of his
own entire choosing. We all know that where
there are several candidates seeking nomination
for the SAME Office, some must be disappointed,
and to yield TO the will Of the majority is democratic,
Therefore,
Resolved That David d. Montgomery being
regularly. and to all appearances fairly nominated
FOR the legislature at a regularly called county con-
,en,ion, we feel bound as democrats to support as
we'll Montgomery, as the rest of the democratic
icket-from the Governor.
Resoircd, That Mr.. Montgomery's frankness in
,penly avowing his willingness to withdraw fro m
he contest if fraud, treachery, imposition or bar.
aiming be proved against him, in obtaining his
,ominaon, is strong evidence that he does not
car an investigation of his conduct.
Resolred, That the event of the coming election
not only Of vast importance to the general inter
st Of Pennsylvania, but the welfare and ascenden-
of the democratic party for years to come may
nd no doubt will in great measure depend upon
lie political bias of the next legislature it therefore
ecomes every true democrat at this time to surren-
er all minor personal objections 10 the all impor-
mt consideration of principle.
Resoired That while we sincerely regret the pres
nj course Of the only democratic paper in this end
{ the county, we are willing to oaward to the editor,
|. l.. Diefenbachcr, honesty and integrity of prin-
pie, but at the same time we are forced by hon.
It conviction to declare that we fully believe that
e course he is bindly pursuing is far better calcu
ted 10 defeat the party to which he belongs, than
accomplish any other end he may have in view.
Resohed, That the proceedings be signed ly the
Getting and published in the Milton Ledger, and all
Democratic papers in the county.

A Base Slandcr.

1T is FALSE, that Gov. Porter ever in his
whole lifetime, either while Governor, a pri-
vale citizen, received solitary iar,hing from the
U. S. Bank, for any purpose of his own whatever.
His name has never been before that Bank or its
officers for any thing-eiiher drawer, endorser,
acceptor, borrower, or any other manner OF shape
whatever. He has nerer had a foot ,oithin its
rails in his ,chOie lifetime, but has, on the con-
trary been its constant, uniform, unwavering,
uncompromisng E N L MY. He OPPOSED
the institution private citizen, and he OP-
POSED and VETOED all laws passed by the
Federal Legislature las, winter that were designed
either for its direct or remote benefit! This latter
fact, of ITSELF stamps the seal of eternal INFAMY
upon the cowardly LIES, which are now concocted
and circulated by the Pipe Layers.
1T is EQUALLY FALSE, that James NJ
Porter is indebted to the United States Bank, OF
owns stock therein. lie does not no,C and nerer
did, o,re The Bank single dollar, and never own
ed solitary share Of its stock in all his lifetime
1T is FALSE, that Ovid F. Johnson, Governor
Porter's Attorney Gonera owes the U. S. Bank
| S25,000-as is falsely alleged by the journal. We
have his own solemn declaration for the fact, that
he does NOT otce the Bank one penny. and if these
Federal Liars will take the trouble of calling the
President Of the Bank that officer must have the
honesty to tell them So Yeomun.

silver from the mine in Davidson county, North
Carolina. 1t weighed about forty-two pounds, and
was enticing "hunk' Of mineral as we have

where true to the character of the newly rich, i,
will soon be taking "Hberties."
