Henry Winter Davis, esq.,, the youthful and elo-
quent Wing eector from this city, 10 doing noble
service, not only at home, but in the neighboring
States, having entered for the campaign in good
earnest. Captain Richard T. Merrick, another
youthful, argumentative, and eloquent Balti-
MORGAN, has also entered the field, and is doing
good service. His speech at Lancaster last week
was brilliant and forcible, and has warmed up the
Wbig enthusiasm in that section of the Keystone

The Wings of this city have as yet made no
movement towards the nomination of a candidate

Jerome, the present efficient incumbent, should
stand for another contest; but should he decline,
an effort will be made 10 secure Hugh Jenkins,
esq, one of the most popular and estimable OF our
citizens. Locofocoism would regard his nomina-

:. BALTIMORE, August 25-5 p. m.
The alarming increase Of rowdyism in our city
during the past two months is beginning to
excite universal attention, and there appears
to be determination among our citizens to take
the law in their own hands, and the carrying OF
arms for self protection ia becoming very general
The election of judges has so far proved to be a
change from bad to worse, rowdyism going now
almost entirely unwhipped Of justice. Scarcely a
day elapses that some one lie not killed or manned
for life; and this morning the papers record one ms
having been killed, two MORALLY stabbed, and
third MANNED for life, all having occurred within
the previous twenty -four hours. The Jail is filled
to OVERLOOKING with prisoners awaiting trial, the
number now confined being one hundred and
twenty nine, and every day adds largely to the
number. There is even a project on foot for
the formation of a committee of vigilance
three hundred names being already subscribed
similar to that which did such deadly execution in
California; but it is to be hoped, on reflection,
that the project will be abandoned. 1t has been
said that wealth was sure means of esdape to the
criminal; but it would seem, under the present ad-
ministration of justice In Baltimore, that rowdy-
ism, and political influence in packing conven-
TONS is sure passport to liberty, let the crime be
ever 30 heinous.
