We are enjoying just now the most delightful
weather. The trees have assumed spring-like
appearence-the flowers and shrubbery Of our gar
dens are in full bloom, and in spite Of the unexpec
ted frost. Of few days, every thing promises a
pleasant summer and fruitfal fall. The citizens
seem full of energy and life-orr merchants al
ready advertise the reception of "new spring
goods" whilst stroll through the ship yards of

Baltimore is, indeed, scene of busy activity, and
Its prospects for the future are promising; it must

only duly appreciate their own advantages, and
discharge their respective duties.

self, denying any such promise, and assuring the
people that he would not accept the office, though
it was profered to him by the President. It has
recently been rumored that James M Buchanan,
Esq of our city, and worthy member of the Bal
tlmore bar, has been promised this Office, and
Finley, our present postmaster, must ssarly be
removed II the rnmor be true, the citizens OF
Baltimore cannot but rejoice at the appointment Of
man, in every way able to discharge the duties OF
any office which he may be the incumbent. Other
heard it reported that General Marriott would be
among the prescribed; though we give very little
credence to the rumor. He was appointed by Pre-
sldent Tyer-unanimously confirmed by the Sc
val. The wind blows one way to.dap, and ano-

the confirmation of these reports, before believed
President Polk and his actions seem to give ge-
rally the encomiums of the press, without distinc-
ton of party-feeling. The american Republican,,
the organ ct the natives OF city, has been unu
sua!ly lavish IN its bestowment Of praise, so much
so, indeed, to induce to believe it will hardly
murmur at the election of another democrat in
lS4S, if he be such man as the present worthy in
cumbent OF the Office. Whilst the organs of that
party elsewhere have been loud an expression of
their determination to run native candidate in
lS4S tor the Presidency, 1t HAS been unusually still
and reserved. Why 80, we cannot say; though
It may De desirous OF reserving its opinion until
matured, and not hastily publish the first determi-
nation Of party feeling. 1t has an able editor,
though we think his ability and energy can never
place the native party on permanent basis in our
city. The probability is, that candidate for the
office OF mayor OF the city will be by the party,
as it is, during the next political canvass though
with slight hopes Of success. The domineerng
party Of Baltimore will hold the power it now pos
sesses, in spite Of the combined efforts of nativism
and whggery.
The handsome banner which was made for the
democrats Of New York by the same party in our
city. was taken possession Of by deputed com.
mittee, by whom it is to be presented to those of
New York. II has been made under the superin-
tendence OF a committee, 10 whom subscriptions
have been generally paid, the subscription price
being limited to Is cents, for the purpose Of afford
ing every democrat the privilege Of giving an equal
share 1t was handsome banner, and if it can
excite any energy In the democrats Of New York
by which their nominee may be elected, it will
doubtless have effected its OBJECT.
in almost every paper in the Union, that T. Lloyd
OF our city, had made an effort to bride the Presi
dent, and thereby secure his Office, has been de-
MED by him through one of the papers Of our city
peatedly urged by his friends, would not accept it.
The story about the horse is denied in toto, and
charity will induce US all TO believe that Tom only
was DESTROYS OF testifying his admiration and es-
TEEN for President Polk.
George r. Richardson, Esq, as been appointed,
by Governor Pratt, Attorney General for the State
Of Maryland. The ability Of this gentleman, and
the acknowledged assiduity with which he has
Z,
has made the nomination one Of general satjsfac-
ton. The office is Tor life, and as he is generally
acknowledged to be confirmed old bachelor, we
presume he can say now to himself, "take thy
ease, for thou art pro vided for all thy lite"
Henry McCurry, who was found guilty of the
murder of Paul Roux, and sentenced to be hung,
will be executed on the 9th Of June, or before
the hour Of twelve of the clock. The Visiter OF
this week has made some editorial objections TO
the execution of this criminal on the clrcumstanal
evidence by which he was convicted, and says that
Governor Pratt hestated somewhat before signing
his deathwarrant, as if not fully convinced Of the
justice Of his sentence. We cannot vouch for the
truth Of this report, and doubt much whether the
Visiter's informant can. The circumstantial evl-
dence was Of a character too strong and clear to
be doubted, and Governor Pratt must have seen
the impossibility OF any else than the condemn
ed criminal being the murderer Of this unprotected
victim.
The musical circles of our city have now quite
an abundance of entertainment. The sInfant Mu-
steal Prodigies' are yet here, and intend to give
their farewell concert this evening. The farewell
concert of the Misses Slomap, assisted by Mr. Slo-
man, will take place on Monday evening next
The Ethiopian Minstrels'' are likewise amusing
our citizens with their songs, glees, &c. Their re
ception was very hatterng, and one of our papers
says, that "f there was doubt to their pre-emi-
nently deserving public APPRECIATION, their present
entertainments set all cavils at defiance"
