Second D,strict OF Maryland

The Wing nomination of j. PHILIP ROMAN
for Congress in this district seems TO meet the
heartiest appreciation of the WINGS in all sec
tions. The Frederick Examiner, and the Cum
berland Cirilian, both bear the highest testi-
mony to his merits and qualifications, and even
the neutral journals deviate so far from their
neutrality as to say kind word in his favor.
OF the latter class is the Cumberland Uniorist,
which says:
az. PHILIP RoMAS-We last week stated our
conviction that this gentleman would receive the
nomination of the Whig Congressional Convention
which met at Hagerstown on Saturday last, and SO
it has resulted. Our impression that such would
be the fact was based upon the belief that he was
not only as good q man could be found in the
district, but by far the most available one in the
three counties which compose it,
Mr.. Roman is yet but young man-younger
indeed than nineteen out of twenty who receive 60
distinguished a mark of confidence, from as large
and highly intelligent district as ours, as that
which is conferred upon him. But notwith-
standing his comparative youth in years. he pos
sesses a we'll l-matured, well-cultvated, and we'll
disciplined mind, capable of comprehending great
principles and anayzing any subject. That he is
what is termed sound" the great and vital
questions of the day, every one must be aware wh
is acquainted with him"

ton; and, ms for the ten thousand guineas, II was
mere bagatelIe; but they were afraid to risk
their national reputation in a contest for speed
with sea racer that was so obviously superior
to any thing they could produce The America
was built in New York, but had attracted no
very particular attention, and, in fact, we are
under the impression that she had been beaten
by the Maria, another New York yacht, before
she went out to England. We presume, there
fore. that she is not unique, and that there are
many more like her at home, and that she is
only fair representative of our achievements
in that particular branch of naval architecture.
Instead of boasting of these achievements, let
us rather remember our deficiencies and fail
ures. and bear in mind that the arts in which
we excel are precisely those in which we have
been compelled by law, or position, to rely upon
our own resources and inventions. If we have
excelled the rest Of the world in ship-building,
it is because we were prohibited from purchas-
ing or using ships built abroad. flour agricul-
tural implements have been found superior to
those of any other nation, it is because we
were compelled, from the scarcity of labor. and
the nature of our soil, TO invent and make such
as were adapted to our necessities. Does any
man question that the same principle will apply
in other cases, and that the same causes would
produce the same gratifying results in every
other department of art and manufactures? Is
there any American who will pretend to say
that nine -tenths of our literature must be
furnished to us by England, because we have
not sufficient intellect, if protected by an in
te-national copyright law, to produce books of
as good quality as those we now take from
England; or is there any sane man who will
attempt to prove our inability to produce on our
own soil at least nine-tenths of the material
goods which we now import from England and
France, if there were but adequate protection
given to American labor to save it from com
petition with the underpaid labor of Europe?

The objection made by the Locofoco presses
to the Donaldson letters is very odd one, and
something immaterial. They do not seek to
defend the letters, but they cry out Justify that
the committee had no warrant for receiving them
that is, they were not officially authorized. If
the letters had been satisfactory, we apprehend
the Democracy would have ,caiped the question
Of Authority; but we should be pleased to know
in what manner the contents of letter are to
be affected by the fact that the recipient was
not officially entitled to commence the CORE
spondence which elicits it. How is Mr.
CHAsE's affection for General HoUsToN dimin-
rhed because he records it in unofficial letter.
How is Mr.. BRowNE's opinion of the potency
of money in Rhode Island, or Mr.. HALLErT's
opinion of the ragged condition of coalition mo-
rails in Massachusetts,, affected by the consid-
Grafton that there was an irregularity in the
manner of Mr.. GREER's appointment to the
National Committee We pause for reply.

Third District OF Tennessee.

The Democratic member of Congress elect
in this district, Mr.. WIN. NJ. CHURcHwELL,
who has beaten the WING candidate by some
one dozen votes, is said by the Tennessee pa
pers not TO have enough Locofocoism about him
to hurt. He was thorough going Compro-
mise man, and holds stoutly to the doctrine of
internal improvement by the Federal Govern
ment. The consequence was, that the DEMO
Gratis voted for him on account of his name,
and the WHIGs on account of his principles.
This accounts for his election in district
where he had to overcome WING majority of
200 votes. member of Congress who is in
favor of the Compromise, and of internal i'm
provements, will have his ingenuity racked for
grounds of opposition to the Administration.
We should think he was more like a Southern
Wing than Northern Democrat.

General Government. The position of the Wing
party in this State is a noble one. Rather than
endorse the monstfous fanaticism-the wild as
sumptions-the disorganizing doctrines-the sec
tional jealousies and local anmosities-which were
necessary to hold on to their political ascendancy,
they battled on TO the last. Although they were
beaten-though they had the modification Of see
ing fanaticism triumph over reason and intellect
yet the party is not subdued overcome. The
November election will place the Wing flag on the
ramparts of Massachusetts, again; her distant sons
will then send up shout that will reach the third
heavens, in commemoration of so great jubilee -

F,r,t Distr,ct OF marvInnd.

We have received the address Of General
THOMAS +. BOWIE to the voters of the first
Congressional district of Maryland, and do not
feel at liberty to decline the request for its in
sertion in our columns. Deeply as we regret
the differences among our friends that have
resulted in this step, the right of any gentle
man to present himself as candidate for the
suffrages of his fellow-citizens cannot be de-
MED, if he is willing to take upon himself the
responsibility of a breach of party discipline,
that is seldom forgotten or forgiven. In lS49
there was no opposition td-the WING candidate
in this district The majority of TAYLOR over
CAss in lS48 was ,55l. If a Democrat
should manage to run in between the conven-
tion and independent candidates of the WINGS,
we apprehend that General BOWIE will regret
it as sincerely as any other Wing.

The Administration and the Laws.

The Charleston Mercury reproaches the
PRESIDENT of the United States for the char
acter of the recent meetings of sympathizers in
some of our large cities, Does the Mercury
propose to hold the PRESIDENT responsible for
what Mr.. RYNDERs may see fit to say in the
Park? The Constitution of the United States
guarantees freedom of speech TO Mr.. RYNDERs;
and gentlemen who live in a region where
freedom of speech is exercised TO the extent it
is in SOUTH CAROLINA ought to be the last in
the world to crticise severity or violence of
speech on any subject-much less to censure
the PRESIDENT because q constitutional right
is ndscreetly exercised.
As to the riots in New Orleans, and the out
RACES on property committed there, the Mercury
must remember that il is the municipal police
who are expected to take care of these things,
and that it is no part of the PRESIDENTS duty
to look after the violation of city ordinances.

BosToS, August 5, 1851
My DEAR SIN: ! am extremely obliged to you
for your very kind letter of the 30th July inviting
me to become the guest Of yourself and friends in
West Roxbury.
Few things would be more agreeable to me; ]
hardly know a pleasanter village, and certainly
know no one which contains inhabitants of more
worth and respectability. But am unable to say
how far it may be in my power to accept this invi
tation; for the present am bound for New Hamp
shire, seeking retirement and rest.
shall probably be in this vicinity, with more or
less interruption, for several weeks, and hope to
have an opportunity of meeting you and your
friends.
Will il be too presumptuous in me, IL take this
opportunity Of expressing my warm admiration Of
the patriotism and public spirit latey manifested
by the friends of Union in Norfolk county? In my
opinion that county upholds the true character Of
Massachusetts,; and, if all we're like her, our good
Commonwealth would soon establish herself in that
position of rcspectability, eminence and loyalty to
the Constitution, which has 80 much distinguished
her in times past.
remain, my dear sir, your friend and obedient
servant, DANIEL WEBSTER.

FILLMORE with the following introduction:
"The proclamation seemed most timely and ap-
propriate, and, had it's warning been needed, it
would have been instrumental in saving the lives
of valuable citizens. Ii announces the penalties
incurred by such violation of the laws Of nations
and of the laws of the United States and declares
that persons guilty of such violation would thereby
forfeit their claim to the protection of the Govern
ment, and to any interference in their behalf. It
exhorts all good citizens to discountenance and by
all lawful means to prevent, any such enterprise,
and calls on all officers of the Government, civil
and military, to do all in their power TO arrest for
trial and punishment every such offender against
the laws of the countrY.n
