The MORMON DELEGATE TO CONGRESS.
The advancement of Mr.. Rabbit to the
honorable post Of delegate to Congress, is
a inc Illustration of the working Of our
republican institutions. We were boys
together, and in addition TO poverty,
young Babbht had TO struggle under the
degradation Of Incorporate father. Natu-
rally bright, intelligent and active, when
approaching manhood, he entered into the
Mormon excitement, at the time hirtland
was the PROMISED Land, and Rigdon the
popular advocate Of the divine mission OF
the Prophet Smith His early advantages
had only been those of this then new
country, bot in order to defend Mormon
ism, SO unpopular with all other crceds,
study, Investigation, reflection, and argu-
ment were necessary. The young con-
vert soon became jealous talker, next
an cxhorter, and then popular preacher
Of the doctrines of the Colleen Bible. He
united his fortune with the prosecuted
Mormons, and became eminent with them
for his zeal, his talent and his sound iudg-
ment. When driven from Nauvoo, Mr..
Babbitt "stuck his stakc' " it'll his people
in the Great Basin, and now claims seat
in Congress as delegate from Deseret.

Mr.. Swami politely offered the use OF
the State Library Room, and the Convex.
ton mel there at 8 O'Clock.
David schley, Esq, was elected Chair
ran, and James WingateFEsq., Secretary.
Many matters OF Importance to the in
terests Of the profession We're discussed,
but IN consequence of the small attendance
nothlng definite was done.
After some discussion the following res
olntion offered ~ Mr.. Ksatnge, was adopt
I'D.
Heso'rs'--That this Convention adjourn
TO rs-assenblr IN the city of Baltimore, on
ihe Bird Monday in April ncsl, and tina.
the E,'itols OF the Press Of that city be in
siied to attend said Convention.
The thanks OF the Convention We're vo-
led TO the Librarian, and it adjourned.
The cause OF 50 slim an attendance, was
without doubt, owing to the uncertainty
in the matter. a PARTON Of the Press an
nounced themselves IN favor of the Con-
Tenlion, and others We're opposed to it,
Some I'D Mt agree to the time and place,
who are favorable to a Convention, and it
WAS not certainly determined that it would
be held Now it has taken shape, and on
the Sd Monday IN April next, there will
positively lie a Convention Of the Editors
of Maryland, held in Baltimore CITY :;
which it is hoped, will be attended by ev-
cry Editor in the State.
There seems 10 lis to be an Importance
IN this matter, which is felt by too few Of
our contemporaries. When the power of
1he Press Is considered when it Is re-
membered that it lnoulds the opinions Of
the masses-that it builds up and pulls
town-that it can support law and order,
or fan the flames of riot--that il makes
statesmen and rulers and unmakes them
at w,ilI-that it influences public educa
ton and public morals 81 that 1t is the thou
.sand-tongucd orator that leaves its impress
wherever it touches, there seems to he a
fitness, that lis representatives should meet
together to consider their duties to their
country and soclety--to cast out abuses, and
TO raise the standard OF the Profession. We
Know that no harm can grow out of the
meeting, tor we are sure no more honora-
bic body Of men, and none who feel more
deeply their responsibilities, are found in
abe State.

OF the county, therefore, that have not Sc

50 to-day Or Monday, SO that they may be
represented.

inst. The committee who have The matter
IN charge, recommended the holding of
District meetings in each county, and the
sending OF three Delegates from each cleo
ton district to the Convention. The Sec
retary OF the Convention of this county
has corresponded with them, and the de-
termination has been come to, 10 elect the
delegates for this county in the Conven-
ton OF Tuesday next. We hope we may
have large meeting here on that dav, and
that our county may be fully and ably rep
resented in the State Convention.
L. S. Senator The Legislature has
to ell 6 two L. S. Senator's. one for the
unexpred term of Hon. Reverdy johnson,
and one for full term succeeding. Or
course both will be wings, and as the whigs
OF Cecil have no delegates, they will have
no voice in the choice.
In the county there Is q strong feeling
that the Western part of the state should
have the Senator for the long term, as an
act oil justice-they having had none for
a long while; and as Gen James Nj. CoaIe
is the candidate proposed by that section
Of the State, and Is possessed Of the clarac-
ter and ability for the station in question,
it would no doubt begraufying to them to
have him elected.
Gov. Pratt and MIR. Speed also have
strong friends in the county but the man
above all others, for whom the county
would cast her vote, were he acandidate,
is William Schley, Esq. Of Baltimore.
