excitement about the political affairs of the State
This has always been one of the strongest whig
holds of the State, but the question of reform has
so distracted that party, that their is very
doubtful at the approaching election. The demo-
Gratis have been very shrewd, and have taken upon
their ticket several of the most prominent wings in
the county, which cannot fail operate very much
against the party with which they have heretofore
acted. The wings, as party, are opposed TO a
general reform in the constitution. They favor the
election of county clerk and registers by the peo-
pie, but utterly reprobate the election of the judi
ciary. The of Senator Pearce with regard to
the late Compromise, before the Senate, met with
general disapprobation, and, notwithstanding the
present democratic Governor would appoint one of
his own party to supply the vacancy, the people,
without regard 10 party, talk strongly OF dem inding
his resignation. The parties on this shore are con-
servatlve and oppose uitraisn of every character,
though their preferences all for the South, and
the cause OF the South. Mr.. Pearce is a native of
the Eastern shore, and has been man in whom
the people have heretofore placed implicit conf
dence, but now should his name come up for re-
election, II is very doubtful ii he could obIaia sin
gle vote from his own section OF the State.

This section OF the State of nj AIRY land is at this
time full of interest The town in which am So
journing is the most beautiful on the Eastern shore,
and there is a spirit Of improvement u an extent
never before known. Ii is situated on the Chap
faux nver sbout twenty miles from the Chesape AXE,
III Il beautiful valley, surrounded by highly cult
waited country, and the farmers are each trying to
excel his neigbbo in the production of those articles
commen 10 the soil The pleasant location of the
town renders II great place Of resort, and thou
sands Of persons visit it weekly, from Baltimore
cry upon excursions of pleasure. There are two
excellent hotels, but the public buildings. except
new market, which has just been erected, are of a
very ordinary character There is a beautiful ark
in central location, in which is a spring of water
sufficient 10 supply the whole town. There are
now four churches, the Presbyterians having iu,t
erected one. There is no interior trade, for the
benefit of Cambridge, from the fact that numerous
rivers are coursing through the country, which
render the market easily accessible TO every Sec
zion, without the necessity of bringing their pro-
uce 10 this place for shi pment.

A portion of the democrats OF the Fifteenth ward,
dissatisfied with the nomination of j. Maybury
Turner for Mayor, met last night and formed pro-
cession. There was about five hundred persons in
all, tie greater portion, however, uated only by
desire TO see the fun. There were two mounted
marshals and bard of music in the crowd; and
about midway Of the procession, was carried a
large transparency. having painted on one side a
Janus face, with the words " Tom Lloyd, alias
Benz. Arnold" On the other side was painted
sorrel horse, with the words ca Tom Lloyd, the
tracks broke" On reaching Mr.. Lloyd's hotel,
corner Of Pratt and Charles streets, the band "lad
themselved out" on the dead march, whilst the
persons in the line made the neighborhood resound
with groans bisses, and other noises of like cha
racter Fortunately for the peace Of the city, no
inmate OF Mr.. LlOyd's house offered a word IN re-
ply. After grooming Mr. Lloyd, the procession
moved 10 Federal Hill, and there, amid thunders or
applause, burnt the transparency. Mr.. Lloyd was
delegate to the late Democratic Convention from
an anti Turner ward, but voted, Notwithstanding,
for that person, and the above was the rather odd
manner in which portion Of his constituents chose
TO sxPess their disspprobaton of his course.
The hero OF the hour, Tom Lloyd, you may re-
sidency OF John Tyler. He presented his Excel
lency with a pair OF fine sorrel horses, and was
gamma rapidly on the Office Of Naval Officer for
the port Of Baltimore, when the letter writer anne
out with description Of the aforesaid sorrel horses,
and 20 transparent was the affair, that Tom retired
from political life, not being heard of since until he
turned up in the Democratic Mayoralty Conven-
one month.

One hundred and seventy eight young ladies have
been found worthy, at the late examinations Of the
the most advanced scholars Of the different district
schools, of promotion to the High School.
Two boys had an alteration in one Of the mar
ke,s, a few days since, when one Of them was shot
by pistol in the hands Of the ether. The pistol
was loaded with gun shot, and the entire load p4ss-
ed into the arm Of the boy, who, at the moment,
had raised II to protect his face.
We have had most disagreeable weather the
last three days-ioggy, damp, and cheerless and
at Times copious showers Of rain. Ii has well nigh
broken up the great Shrewsbury camp meeting.
There were yet 1000 nersons encamped yester-
day, and prayer and exhouatson meetings were
being held IN each Of the large station tenis, with
great effect A large number OF converts have
been gathered within the pale OF Methoiis.s, aud
many more viii be during the REVEALS which will
follow at all the churches on the breaking up Of
the camp. We learn from fresd who visited the
camp, that men and women might he observed in
the station or prayer tents, lying on the earth
with all the raidty Of death, whilst their
counenapces were liz up with smiles, calm
ttIene, and Joyous Others might be seen
wrestling with themselves, rolling about,
and calling on God in most piercing accents for
mercy; and above all could be heard the deep bas-o
ofthc groans and walls OF the penitents. Owing
20 the rain, all idle and pleasure seeking
had departed, and solemn stiffness in ali except
the above mentioned places reigned throughout the
camp. IL was day calculated TO impress rel-
eiously, the most superficial observer. The ser
vices at the camp will be brought TO q Gloss to-
monow.
