A feeble ohor--a partial party elori--vas

The Baltimore Argus with the just views
and ine spirit COR which Il IS distinguished,
sounded the alarm and called upon the De-
m0cracy Of the State TO frown upon the hrst
dawning Of reputation, and 10 put an elieciual
stop to that dangerous and dishonest doctrine.
The call was cordially responded to by Tho
Democratic press Of the State. More than
that: a great meeting was held IN Monument
Square, in the city Of Baltimore, On the 9th
inst, The proceedings Of which-admirable in
spirit and manner-we find IN the Argus Of
The lOlh inst, and which the Baltimore Sun

speakers were received with strong marks o
appreciation, and the right spirit evidently per
vaded the meeting. The la'e hour at which
the adjournment took place, the crowded state
Of orr columns, and the Necessity Of putting

the Democratic meeting held in Baltimore on

say that we hail demonstrations like this with
the highest degree Of pleasufe--loolling upon
them, as we DO, as afiording satisfactory assu-

never yet entertained any serious fears of the
occurrence Of such a lameniablc result as thai

eft affords Us pleasure to be able TO say that
in our own county, as FAR as our know ledge
and observation extend, the most perfect viii
Hngness is manifested by people 10 the payment
Of tax. Indeed, we would desire no better
evidence Of the oxstenes Of this willingness
than that furnished By the records OF The COL
leetor's Office. These show that he sum Of
$4,000 has been collected and paid into the
State treasury from this county since The Isl
Of December last; and we are assured BY the
collector that he has the fullest confidence Of
