A RECOMMENDATION


When a Christian People feel them
selves to be overtaken by great public
calamity, it becomes them TO humble
themselves under the dispcnsation of Dr.
vine Providence, to recognise His righte-
Gus government owe. the children Of men,
to acknowledge His goodness in time past,
us well us their own unworthiness, and to
supplicate His mercilul protection for the
future.
The death Of WILLIAM HENRY HARRI.
SON, late President Of the United States.
so soon after his elevation to that high Of.
fee, is a bereavement peculiarly calculat-
cd 20 be regarded as heavy affection,
and to impress all minds with a sense OF
The uncertainty Of human things, and OF
the dependence of Nations, as well as oil
individuals, upon our Heavenly Parent.
have thought therefore, that ! should
be acting in conformity with the general
expectation and feelings of the communi.
ty in recommending, as | now do, to the
People of the United States, of every re-
ligious denomination, that, according 10
their several modes and forms of worship,
they observe day of Fasting and Prayer,
by such religious services as may be suita,
BILE on the occasion and recommend
Friday, the fourteenth day OF May next,
for that purpose to the end that, on tina,
day, we may all, with one accord, Join in
humble and reverential approach to HIM,
in whose hands we are, invoking him TO
inspire US with proper spirit and temper OF
heart and mimi under these ffowns Of His
providence, and still to bestow His gra-
cious benedictons upon our Government
and our country. JOHN TYLER.

THE PROCESSION.
Alas how different this mourning ar
ray from tho procession that escorted and
accompanied our reyergd HARRISON, one
short month ago, 10 the scene Of his lnau.
gurationi How different the circumstan.
ces Of this day, from those hours Of public
rejoicing and exultation Instead Of the
resounding cries and cheers which then
filed the air, there was now solemn, deep
and universal silence, Us the spectators
gaz' upon one object which engaged all
their ihoughis--iheir senses--their attec.
lioas the body Of the illuslrlous patriot
and Hero carried along on the Funeral
Chariot You may easily imagine that
as the fourth Of March, and all rs scenes
Of splendor aud loy-where all was so iuli
Of promise and sgcuri!y--came over their
minds, the contrast was overwhelming,
and that lou signs and burning tears al
tested their deep aiiiictlon.
The procession was much longer than
that on The DAY ofihe lneugmation. lie
sides those mentioned in the programme,
there were several Military dctachments
from Baltimore, Fire Companies, md Ma
sonic, and other associations Of this Dis
trict. Conspicuous il the solemn train,
were the members Of the Senate and
House of Delegates Of Mary land, who al
tended in a body, preceded by some Of
their officers.
On arriving at the Congressional Bury
ing Ground, the Military escort took a 20
sition on an elevated site adjacent; while
the pail bearers with the corpse preceded
by the Clrrgy and Physicians. and fol-
lowed by President Tyler and bis Cab-
net, the ex President Adams, Foreign
Ministers &c. &c. &C., entered the grave

April l0th, 1871. :
Mn. EDITOR - The election is now near al hand,
and il affords me pleasure say, Judging ON the
spirit of the times, that we may, with degree OF
certainty, expect TO elect the entire Wing ticket.
Although the Locos are driven by desperation, to
make Tremendous effort, yet the deep rooted re-
publicansm Of the Wings of this county particular
y, cannot be shaken by loco focosm, even in its
most alluling and deceptive form. With regatd to
tho Senatorial election, not the slightest doubt is,
can be entertained to the success of the Wing
candidate. There is other ground. upon which
10 rest forlofn hope of success for the loco
foeo candidate, except probability of change in
the politics Of the people which, by the bye, is
poor dependence for what has yet occurred sufIi-
cient to change our former predictions, either for
measures or men not principles yet,
unscathed and unsulliedl Have those of our poit-
cal friends, to whom were entrusted the destinies
of State OF Union faltered Hive they not shown
answering devotion the entire interests of their
countryf Truth must answer these questions in
he affirmative.
The Wing candidate for Senator. who is now be-
fore the people Of this district of which this county
(M,rgan) composes part, has at all times. given
ample proof of bis will and ability 10 discharge oil
the abofious duties Of the Office to which he has so
frequently been called; and is to be hoped that
the time is not far distant, when tho people of this
district will call upon him, &C. J. Faulkner to
move in a more elevated sphere, for which he ha.
shown himself so eminently qualified.
In our county election, cannot see why there
should be any fears as to the success Of the Wing
candidate, Cromwell Olrck
The election of the Wing candidate foi C1ngres.
IS acknowledged by some Of lhs locos in this couu-
~ TO be certain; but not by the majority claimed.
All the candidates have visited this county, and
have in the absence Of their competitors. acted
with the utmost fairness and courtesy towards them
efusiug (although constantly solicited by some Of
their friends to speak, even when public occa-
sion offered.
lf the present state Of things continue, and the
people decide upon them they are, success must
be certain and inevitable. f.
