The following circular has been sent to us for
publication:
BALTIMORE, July 18th, lS45.
SIN: The undersigned have been appointed by the
Democratic Convention of this city, q committee to
correspond with the friends of "reform" in the diff
erent parts of our State and to invite their co-ope
ration with those in this city who are DESTROYS for
the call Of convention to remodel our present State
government.
After mature deliberation, and having taken into
consideration all the circumstances touching the
most suitable period, the fourth Wednesday IN gust
has been fixed on for the meeting Of the friends OF
reform in this city, when the different views and
opinions of the advocates of this great be
freely canvassed, and some definite plan of action
ma,ured and agreed on.
The undersigned are anxious that every county
should be represented on that OCCASION They be-
eve the present period suspicious to the success Of
any reasonable plan for reform id the constitution
of our State, whereby the expenses of Its admins
tration, now so burdensome TO the people, may be
eGectualIy reduced; whereby vigorous and yet
economical system of courts of justice may be es-
| tabshed; whereby the compensation TO clerks, and
other public officers, may be Justly apportioned to the
merit of their services; and whereby that unwise
end mprovident legislation, which, in its large APP
preparation TO works of "nternal improyements..''
has wrecked the faith and credit Of the State, may
be efectually arrested by wholesome restrictions
upon the legislative power.
Believing that the cause is entitled to, and will
ceive your support respectfully request that you
will take the necessary steps to have your county
represented in the proposed convention.
With high regard, your iellow-cizens,
JOSHUA VANSANT,
WILLIAM +. GILES,

MORTALITY IN New YoRK.--Much alarm exists
in New York in consequence Of the great increase
in the bills of mortality The city inspector states
that during the last week the deaths in that city
have been more than one half over the preceding
week, and 275 more than during the same week
Of 1874. The increase is, however, mainly in the
class Of congestive diseases, which have been pro-
duced by the excessive heat,

EXCITEMENT IN OHIo.--We learn from the Gin.
cnnat Gazette, that on the evening Of the 9th three
men belonging to Washington county, Ohio-Mr.
G.. Lorraine, Mr.. Conner, and Mr.. Garnet--were
seized on the Ohio shore, by body of men from
Virginia, and lodged in jail at Parkersburgh, upon
the charge that they had aided the escape Of slaves.
IL appears that six negroes, belonging to Mr.. How
ard, of Wood county, Virginia, made their escape
into Ohio; that seven men, among whom were the
three above named, met these negroes on the bank,
and were aiding them in the removal OF their bag
gage, when they were seized; the other four esca-
ping. The occurrence had caused the greatest ex-
element on both sides the river. In Virginia, half
the inhabitants Of Parkersburgh armed and pre-
pared to repel any attempts TO release the prisoners.
In the neighboring counties of Ohio, numerous
meetings have been held, with the os,ensible object
Of securing fair trial to the prisoners; but at some
of them, threats Of violence have been loudly pro-
claimed The prisoners are to be examined before
called county court, the question Of their
mitmen for trial before the superior court in Sep

We cannot. however, dismiss the subject without
directing the attention of our readers to the palpa-

against which the mayor, as an editor Of the " Ma

through the columns Of his paper.
