American Republican and Baltimore daily clipper. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1844-1846, 1846-02-05

10 be SlCdLorei up! The recent meeting OF the
members of the Bar of this city, in relation to
the removal Of the Courts Of Appeals and
Chancery, has startled some of the inhabitants
of the ''ancent city" from their usual proprie-
ty, and led them to believe that Annapolis will
shortly be "swaowed up"-totally extinguish-
ed-by the city of Baltimore. This cruel in
tellgence is vouched for by the Republican OF
that city, which calls upon the inhabitants to
prepare to meet the catastrophe. 1t sounds
the note of alarm as follows:
| 1t seems the determined purpose of that self |
ish city, to swallow up every village, town.
Sc, it possibly can,-and she Is now about TO
gulp down poor old Annapolis, at one swoop' |
! What occasion is there for the removal OF those
courts; What abuse arises or what lnconve-
nieuce proceeds from their being held here!-
Where else in the Union is it, that the supreme
court Of the State is not held at the capitol Of
the State?
J, Baltimore, however, is bent upon making 1T
self TOO, the seat Of Government. Such we
, doubt not is the object OF many, IN supporting
the Biennial session bill. We question not,
that the removal of the seat oil Government Is
too the design Of many in supporting that mea-
sure.
t 1t becomes Annapolans not TO remain idle
} They should be up and doing, Ii they remain
p, longer quiet aud indifferent to these attempts,
! they will arise from lethargy when too late to
( recover what they will have allowed to be
q snatched from them. 1t is to be hoped they
d will move at once in this matter, and If posi-
bic check in its very incpiency, this attempt OF
o the Baltimore bar to deprive our city of one OF
K its main pillars.
IL to ln tpIr Of
. our friends of the "ancient city," but we must
E call their attention to the following sensible ar
st ticle from the Frederick Examiner Of yesterday:
1r Although not attached to the profession OF
~ the Law, our immediate intercourse and busl-
ii ness connection with law gers, for the last thirty
n, wears, has made US acquainted with tho incon-
lie yenences they are necessarily objected to, in

at lis.
nc In the first pace-Annapolls is not central,
Is, it is inconvencnt to a large portion OF both
OF the Eastern and Western Shore, particularly
"a the latter; it does not afford comfortable ac-
al Communications to the profession in attending
he these courts, although the rates Of charge are
re enormous; the members Of the profession are
much annoyed during the sessions of the Le
e, gislature, we are sorry to say, often by uou
/ blesome, noisy members themselves and per
ri sons attendant upon the observation-disclosures
ay ing it altogether an unfit and an unsuitable
m place for holding these important courts; par
mo ticuarly the Court of Appeals, where ever
es- decision is the result of profound thought
ro- close investigation, and oft-times deep research
