BALTIMORE, April 81.


The wing caucus meeting, held last night
at Washington, refused to declare. the finali-

are now subsiding.
There has been severe storm at Boston

WASHINGTON CRY,
March II, 1852.
Gentlemen ~ have received your friend
" letter Of the 21st Of February, 1852, in
which, after expressing your confidence in my
principles, you say that q ''tieket with the
names Of Stockton and Davis" twill not
only be elected, but by such an overWhelm-
ing majority" &C., &c. You intimate that
with my appreciation, you design presenting
my name to the people Of the United States
as candidate for the Presidency.
You do me no more than Justice in assum-
ing that ! am the devoted friend Of the
rights of the States A citizen of one Of the
smallest States in the Union, instinctively
consider the reserved rights Of the States 70
be the palladium of the liberties Of the whole
people-and that rigid construction Of the
Constitution is the only guarantee for the
perpetuity of the UNION. While the re.
served rights Of the States and the Consti.
tuition are secured against infringement, the
republic is safe, but no longer.
/ entertain great respect for the character
and public services of Col. Jefferson Davis
and would feel honored by being associated
with him at any post to which the sufragei
of the people might call US.
X =
Permit me, before closing this letter, t.
say that, in my opinion, it rests with the
SOUTH almost entirely, to place this govern
ment by the ensuing election, in such hands
as will protect the rights of the States, and
avert the dangers which threaten the Union
and the Constitution. Should the South
now, from personal or any other considera
tions, omit to perform her duty, she may
discover her mistake when it is too late.
The South demands that the Constitution
shall be adhered to strictly in spirit and let
ter, and that the government should be
brought back to the frugality and simplicity
which distinguished the administrations Of
Washington and Jefferson. Should these
principles be lost sight of, at this critical pc,
riod, the government will continue in Its
present career of boundless expenditure and
loose construction, until we find ourselves op-
pressed with mountain of debt, and strug.
Cling vainly against the usurpation of ma.
jority controlling a government in the exer.
else of unlimited powers.
l am, gentlemen, with sentiments of sin.
cere regard, your obedient servant,

Our community, by reference to the card
of Miss WOrrall, will learn, with regret, that
her connection with the Female Institute
has been dissolved. The offer of her valua-
bic services, however, as a private teacher,
still continues a rare opportunity for the
cultivation of those polite branches of which
she is so successful and accomplished an in
structress. Our community will, no doubt,

favor them with another public exhibition of
her rare powers as a vocal and instrumental

Fashion Of Olden Times

Old fashions they say come new every sew
en- years; somehow or other knee-breeches
don't come round any more. They say
when Gov. Bowdoin reviewed the troops at
Massachusetts,, in 1885, be was dressed in
gray wig, cooked hat, a white br0adclOth
coat and waistcoat, red small clothes and
silk stockings.
In 1882, Gov. Hancock received his
guests in a red velvet cap, within which was
one of fine linen turned up over the edge Of
the velvet one, two or three inches. lie
wore a blue damask gown, lined with silk, a
white satin embroidered waistcoat, black
satin small clothes, white silk stockings and
red morocco slippers.
The judges Of the Supreme Court of Mas
sachusetts, as late as 1878, wore robes of
scarlet, faced with black velvet; and in sum-
mer, black silk gowns. Gentlemen wore
coats of every variety of color, generally the
cap and collar Of velvet, a different color
from the coat.
In 1888, Gen. Washington arrived in
New York from Mount Vernon, to assume
the duties of the Presidency He was dress
ed in full suit of Virginia homespun. On
his visit to New England, soon after he wore
an old continental uniform, except on the
Sabbath, when he appeared in black
John Adams, when Vice President wore
aswOrd and walked the streets with his hat in
his hand.
At the levees in Philadelphia President
Washington was clad in black velvet, his
hair was powdered and gathered behind in
silk bag yellow gloves, knee and shoe buck
les; he held in his hand cooked hat, orna-
mented with cockade, fringed about an
inch deep with black feathers a long sword
in white scabbard, with a polished steel
hilt, hung at bis side.
BANK OF ST. MARY's.-There was good
deal of excitement in town yesterday, in re-
gard to the issues of this bank. For several
months the bills have passed here in ordina-
ry transactions at par, and as they were re-
deemed on demand at the house of a respect
able merchant, almost every one had conf
dence in the solvency of the institution
The present distrust, we understand grew out
of the fact that draft of the bank, for a
large amount, was protested here on the 18th
inst. for non-payment.-MObiIe Tribune.
The foundation of the above rumor is, it
Is stated, that bill growing out OF, or con-
nected with certain contingencies to the a.
mount Of twenty thousand dollars, was pro-
tested, but from no fault on the part Of the
St Mary's Bank. 1t was, however, imme.
diately paid. The rumOr, however, caused
excitement at Columbus, and paper to the
amount of two hundred thousand dollars
was presented and redeemed, when the de-
/ 4 u Al.
agency here yesterday morning for some
hours, and all paper presented was promptly
redeemed in gold, though the institution, BY
) its charter, is not obliged to redeem at this
point. We suppose none, however, acquaint
ed with the facts, had any anxiety on thu
subject and those who had, were soon salts
fed. We have a large number Of debts
throughout the country, for which we shOulc
be happy to give receipts for st. Mary''
! money. Montgomery Journal.

To D. W. Holly, Pub. Democratic Review

Hon. CAVE JoHNsoN-Sir: Your letter
of the 18th inst is received.
/ am directed to say that the ReUiepo re-
cognizes no one as its ''patron." It is con-
Quoted on the principles and to suit the
tastes and requirements of the Democratic
party Of the nation. It decidedly opposes a
general Restoration therefore we are not
surprised at your being displeased.
We find that the ReVieaC has been patron
izing you for years; your bill is s., which
we will be glad to receive by return mail.
Yours, respectful,

SMALL Pox.-We saw letter yesterday,
says the Washington (Ga.) Gazette, from
Rev. Vincent R. Thornton, pastor of the
Baptist Church in this place, stating that
there were twenty cases of Small Pox in the
immediate vicinity of his residence near I'm
ion Point, Greene county, and that the dis
ease was spreading with fearful rapidity-
We also learn, from another source, that it
has made its appearance at Union Point,
and at Crawfordville. Under this state Of
facts, it is vastly important that our citizens
adopt some precautionary measures to pre-
vent the disease from coming amongst u.s.
We hope to see some early and decided steps
taken in the matter
