American Republican and Baltimore daily clipper. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1844-1846, 1846-05-20

this removal was produced by any such cause
as that stated by the writer, seems to US to be
incredible. If a company was formed for the
purpose mentioned, we cannot imagine how it
could exercise any influence upon the action OF
government; for we will not do any men,
Der of the cabinet the injustice to suppose, that
the insinuation of the writer that some ofthem
are concerned in the speculation, and hence
caused the army to be removed to depreciate
the'vaue of the lands, has the slightest toun-
sble; and we therefore, look upon the whole of
the suggestions of the writer as mere vagares
of the mind. He insists that the cabinet shall
be removed; but if he have no stronger reasons
to urge than those which he has given, they
will not receive much attention.
The duty of the American people cannot be
mistaken. Whatever may have been the
cause of the removal of the troops, they must
be supported now that they are supposed to be
in danger; and not straw should be laid in the
path of the executive, calculated in the least to
obstruct the measures which may be deemed
necessary to insure the safety Of our army and
to protect our soil. When the war shall have
been terminated, any supposed irregularty or
improperly of proceeding can be investigated
but we must not pause to wrangle amongst
ourselves, whilst hostile foot treads our ter
rtory.
DtIorocpApuIc MtNIA II is octonish IL
ing to what degree of perfection this branch
Of the fine arts is now carried in this city
Mr.. Shew ranks prominent among artists for
the unsurpassed pictures which he has rec emit
ly executed. At his rooms, No. 1T Baltimore
street, corner Of South, he has window ten
feet square arranged expressly for the business,
which enables him to produce likenesses in a
much shorter time than has ever been done be-
fore in Baltimore. This renders his sttings
less fatigung to the subject and entirely reme-
dies that want of expression in the eye which
has always been an object in Daguerreotypes.
We have no hesitation in saying, that with his
present superior advantages, Mr.. Shew can
produce better likenesses than any other es-
Enlistment in the city.
TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.-yMHrder Of a Whole
Family! A man named WIN. Hudson, living
in Pendleton county, Va, on the 18th inst,
deliberately murdered his wife and three chill
dren, besides Jane and Robert Cliff, and horri-
bly, multi ated another child. He then set fire
to the house and escaped. The only cause as
signed for the bloody deed is misunderstood
ing with his wife. He was member of the
M. E. Church, and was highly respected.

geant Kerren is also among the glorious band.
RIOT AND LYNCH LAW. An abolition con-
