New Hotels.

The want of sufficient number of good hotels in
Washingon-a want which has heretofore formed just
cause of COMPLAINTS now likely to be quite well sup
piled by the new houses which have come into existence
during the past season. Some three four irst-r rate
establishments have been opened under auspices which
give goody promise of profits to therpropreos, well
as of pleasant accommodations to strangers and citizens
The last of these but not whit behn the rest in any
particular is Fullers, recently erected the OF
18th street and Pennsylvania avenue, and which we
commend with great pleasure to our friends and the
whole community.
Fullers father and son. have been long and most ia.
vorably known to the soourncrs in the metropolis, and
have earned reputation hosts which they seem de-
termined to sustain Their new hotel is in the most eli
gibe and central position in the city. and is capable OF
accommodating comfortably one hundred guests The
rooms are all commo1ious and airy well carpeted AMI
handsomely furnished, and the dinngroom and parors
eyhibi much elegance of arrangement.
The appointments throughout are in excellent taste
and keeping whilst air of genuine comfort parvades
every part of the house; and not the least among the
solid comforts to be met with may be added well pro-
vided table, good cooks, and excellent attendants.
The Messrs Fuller are not only known as admirable
hosts but as unobirusve, modest gentlemen; conse
quently, the praises of their establishment have moi
been heraded to the world by the "sound Of trumpet
and drum" We take peculiar pleasure therefore, in
blowing blast for them, and in recommending the'
house, as we most cordially and sincerely do, to the pa
ronage of the great public

For the Union.



Some diversity of opinion exists in relation to the
place OF meeting of the next democratic national conven-
ton. The democratic party unanimous in favor OF a
convention, and the glorious Fourth of JULY seems to
be the most suspicious period for its assembage But
sincerely hope that the place Of meeting designated by
several States pW not be altered.
Baltimore presents to the eye of every true democrat
an ennobling aspect. Nobly has she sustained the
President and the war nobly has she sPurned her
traitorous citizens; and nobly has she proclaimed her
devotion to her countys rights and honor
While Boston and Philadelphia remain welded to their
idols and New York has faltered in her advocacy of
our glorious principles Baltimore has remained firm and
nyncble and proudly has sustained her ancient fame.
While her gallant sons have bravey defended
tona honor upon the tented field and the best blood of
her sons shed in defending national rights, her par
Otto citizens, to her fame and true to country,
have nobly sustained by triumphant VOTE every meas
ure OF the administration.
In conclusion, sincerely hope that the democratic
members OF Congress will recommend BALTIMORE as
the place for the assemblage of the convention.
1t will be a compliment that her gallant democracy
will ever cherish and hold in remembrance 1t will be
compliment to the lion hearted democracy of Mary
land which they emnenty deserve. ONSLOW.

The concert last night drew of the most brilliant

The music exquisite. The piano OF Herr and the
