Disgr0ceIul,

J, is no. surprising tina, ruffian.spiril
should exist amongs. the ignorant and
debased, when even the highes, dignita-
sies Of the land irample law and decency
under their feet. It is becoming quite
customary for members Of congress and
Of state legislatures, not only to use abu
siSe aud degrading language towards each
OFFER, but to pesor. TO the cudgel or bow
le-knife--and now ave aqsve all e.ccount Of
fracas between two governors-Gov.
Thomas Of Maryland, and Gov. Mellow
ell, Of Virginia, This happened a. Ssauu
ton in Virginia, Il seems tina, they were
both abou, TO proceed in the public stage
TO Lexington, that Gov. Mcdowell insis-
ted tia. Gov. Thomas should not 90 in
.he same stage with himself and lady, and
proceeded TO strike him with an umbrella.
The interference of bys,anders separated
them, not, however, until Gov Thomas
had received some injury. Gov Mellow
Ill and lady proceeded in private con-
weyance, and Gov. Thomas in the public
stage. As they were both going to the
same plsce, it is supposed likely by the
Richmond Star, from which the above
facts are obtained) that there will be an.
other rencon,re a. Lexington. Gov. Nc
Dowell is said TO be the father-in-law of
Gov. Thomas.
a disorderly spirit prevails throughout
the land, and there is scarcely paper
printed which does not contain the nara
,ien of some horrible crime, or some act
Of vilany. Whilst criminal offences and
the most icentious and brutal conduct
orc tolerated in men occupying high sta
tons, we cannot be surprised that they
should be initiated by men Of inferior
standing. Conspicuous examples have
an extensive influence for good or evil on
the communi,y-and history proves, tina,
the morals of the people are in a grea!
measure regulated by The conduct of ru-
lers. In the United States we are unfor-
.unalely too much in the habit OF consid-
erins political immortality as a venal Of
fence, and hence the standard of moral
feeling has been detsrioralei, until legis.
lalive halls have become the areras for
personal combats and efforts at assassna-
lion. Public sentiment can never be res
:orcd to wholesome tone until there is
specification of the representative charac-
ter; and this can hardly be expected SO
long as men are selected for public si,ua-
lions wilhou, reference to any o,herqual-
iica,ion than that of protesting attach

Of parents who send children to such place; the

Is that no such school is taught here, nor was
there ever to our knowledge. Tho people of

they send their children, Us their neighbors of

ISsFrom the views which we have
heard the editor Of the Democra, express
repeatedly, We confess we are not little
surprised tia. he should write or adopt
such seatiments as are contained in his
leading editorial article of last week. 1t
contsins an evident leaning towards the
doctrisse o: rcpudiation--a doctrine, to
which we had been led to believe, he was
hostile. 1t assumes that the State is in
volyed in debt which can nerer be paid
by taxation, and that the only means Of
|liquidating it is the interest of the State in
the public works, the proposed plan of
selling which, it opposes on the ground
tina, ii would sacrifice them, and leave a
debt of hopeless magnitude. Now if we
understand that plan, the minimum sum
for which they car be sold is $ll,700-
900, which will leave the balance of the
of the debt incurred for their construc-
lion, less than S3,30O,0O0; certainly not
debt Of hopeless magnitude.
But the scheme it contends is calculated
to sacrifice the most valuable ofthe Pub
lie Works, and leave unsoid worthless
remnant. Now we presume that no one
supposes there will be any difficulty in
selling the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal ,
and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, for
$9,2O0,O00, which is the least hey can
be sold for according to the proposed plan,
and which some think to be fair valua-
ton. Nor does i. follow that they would
be- sacrificed if it is not, for may there
not be competition among purchasers.
If any of them are worthless, the plan
for selling them does not make them more
so, and their worthlessness affords no
reason why those that are valuable should
not be sold if that would afford us any
relief. In regard to the "to do" about
spectators and speculation, it is only in
keeping with the locofoco fashion of
throwing in little rant, when they wish
to prejudice the dear people. We should
think it was speculation to purchase stock
in any CT the Public works, whether to the
amount of five do liars or five millions.
We have no Partially for the proposed
plan for selling the States interest in the
canals or rail roads, over any other as
good one, and we regret that necessity
compels her TO sell it at all, but her pow
erty forces her TO do it.
There is no doubt that many of the
locofoco party will oppose any plan that
may be proposed; we discover .ecre,,
!nsinualing disposition amongst many of
them IN favor Of reputation, and have but
little doub. but an attempt will be made
before long to force the state into its
practice, but we have still SO good an
opinion of ,Iarylanders as to believe they
vii repell i. in disgust
