BALTIMORE, May 23-5 p. IN.
The Wings of the several wards held meetings
last night, and appointed delegates TO the city con-
vention, who to meet and select delegates to
represent the city in the gubernatoral convention
which assemblies at Frederick city. There was
much harmony and good feeling manifested, and
spirit So far could be ascertained, the
majority of the delegates chosen are favorable to
the nomination of Dixon H. Roman The senti-
ment seems pretty generally to be in his favor,
though any of the gentlemen named as candidates
would be acceptable. Roman, however, has de-
gree of popularity which cannot fail in making him
acceptable.
The Democratic State gubernatorial convention
assembled here this morning, and temporarily or
ganized by appointing the Hon. Hiram McCul-
Tough to the chair; VIM. A. Stewart, of Baltimore,
secretary. committee was then appointed to ex-
anime the credentials of delegates, and the conven
ton adjourned until - p. m There are two sets
of delegates from Baltimore county and Anne
Arundel in attendance, and a misunderstanding
in the Dorchester delegation From present indi-
cations, there is to be difficulty in the camp The
friends of the several aspirants are exceedingly
warm, and unwilling to accept any compromise
The convention is again in session. II is not
probable that a nomination will be made too day,
but Mr.. Lowe, of Frederick city, will certainly be
the nominee.

We cannot turn eyes toward this republic
without breathing fervent prayer for the growth
and stability of true republican principles in the
bosoms Of her people, and the progress of her states
in the art Of letting The people govern Themselves.
Yet arc we often cast down and depressed by IL
dngs 10 which, however unwelcome, we cannot
close our ears. Neither the ambition the yio-
lence ofparty or faction can awaken our apprehen.
sions. In the republics of modern times, parties
cannot be powerful without numbers, and numcri-
cal power is true and Legitimate sovereignty. But
in this lattcrday epoch of royalty there is
danger where IL often is least dreaded-danger OF
the return of arbitrary rule.
The close observer Of events in France cannot be
at loss 10 discover the grounds Of this apprehen
sion. They exist in the people, but in more emf
nent degree in their present rulers.
Late advices from Paris state a somewhat om-
fact that the government journals were stoutly
defying the mob 10 shotc itself doubtless TO bring on
a I" Crisis which, put down by the military forces
at its command, would tend TO strengthen the des-
potic power. II il stated further that modifica
ton Of the electoral law is contemplated, such as
would discnfranchisc $500, 900. The London Her
aid correspondent says, " what the struggle may
lead 10, no one knows
OF course not (the New York Express remarks,)
but IL is not very difficult TO guess Louis Napo-
leon is arrived at that peculiar crisis in his public
career, when " there is no flying hence nor larry.
ing here" He must either sink or swim. II he be
powerful enough TO put down Socialism, his pretcn-
sions 10 imperial power may be said TO be enforced

NORFOLK, VA.-The products of Norfolk an
the capabilities of that neighborhood to increase
those products, are little known abroad. The fish
and oysters obtained from that locality equal
to the best in the world; but we acquainted
with no region whose soil, climate, and facility Of
transportation to market offer better inducements
to the skilful gardener. We learn from the Herald
that on Friday last six hundred bushels Of green
peas and FIVE hundred quarts of Strawberries were
shipped by the steamer Herald from that place for
Baltimore; and that some four hundred bushels Of
peas were taken by the osceola to Washington and
Alexandria. The figs grown in that neghborhood
are peculiarly rich and well favored, also are
many other delicacies that we often consume with
out knowing TO whom indebted for them.
We do not wonder at the growth and improvement
lately manifested at Norfolk and Portsmouth Our
only wonder is that capital and enterprise have not
long since sought investment and exercise there.
We suppose the indispositon Of the whole State of
Virginia to embark upon the "sea OF troubles"
which the go-ahead States of the Union have so
long been traversing has rested like incubus
upon these towns. But new energy has seized
upon the State--works of internal improvement
have been commemorate convention is 10 be held

of Virginia will throw off the thraldom Of years,

lie spirit and the vigor that, though long dormant,
