BALTIMORE, Oct. 90 D. m
Both parties are actively engaged preparing for
the election which takes place to- morrow The
several block and ward committees out attend
ing TO their respective duties and from all accounts
the Wings are fully prepared for the contest
can yet see no reason why complete should
not attend them. The very best feeling exists in
our ranks. Perfect harmony and union Of action
exists All are striving for the same end, and that
is the triumph of sound Wing principles. Let our
friends up boldly to their work put shoulder
TO the Wheel and there need be no apprehensions of
defeat. Allow me to say once more, if there are
any Wings in Washington who have the right of
voting in Baltimore, let them come up and put in
| their ballot If the Wings all turn out, Mr. Ken
| ly's election is beyond doubt. They have the
power in their hands, either to triumph or
allow themselves, by inexcusable negligence, to be
! beaten.
| The Democrats held meeting last night
in Monument Square. Especial pains had been
| taken TO drum up large attendance. Transpar-
| ences banners and other paraphernalia, were ex-
hibited upon the stand The old drum was beaten
| about through the city from morning until night,
and, with ALL the number present compare
| lively few, and the whole affair spirtless.
! Mr.. McLane, among others, addressed the meet
| ing He was bitter in denouncing the present adj
ministration, and took especial pains to say many
things of General Taylor which were neither true
| nor becoming. He denounced him a traitor,
| and almost called the old hero of many battles a
coward, and without patriotism. Even his
partisans would not swallow such transparent stuff.
| They knew better. and were heard tn niirn,nr

lated to do more harm than good it would ssre-

| MADAME MALIBRAN.-A story is related of this
beautiful child of song that one of her journeys
| in Italy, which took her through Arezzo, the peo-
pie, learning her arrival there refused to let her
! pass on her journey until she had sung for them
from the balcony of the inn. She refused declaring
| that she could not, and would not A gentleman
robber then emerged from the crowd, presented a
pistol at her, and urged his claim upon the fair
songstress. She wept with agitation and anger,
| but the mob still continued nexorabe. Her courier
(who proved to be De Berrit, her husband) went to
the carriage, brought out his violin, and amused
the audience in the street with exquisite perform
ance, until Malibran had wiped her eyes and re-
covered her voice. She then sung Cavatina, in
her very best manner and received louder applause
than she had ever met with in Europe or America
| The delighted Arezzans then harnessed themselves
to her carriage, and dragged her on her road seve
| raj miles.
