BALTIMORE, Dec. 19.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 19.
The Southern and Western Trade, Convention
met at Baltimore on Saturday. Two hundred
delegates were in attendance, Senator Dawson
presided. An address of welcome to the strau-
gers on the part of Baltimore, and recommends
ing concentration of trade in that city, was
adopted. Resolutions conforming to the princl-
PIES contained in the address were adopted, and
the Convention adjourned to meet in Memphis
on the first Monday in June. A splendid dinner
was given after the adjournment in the Hall of
the Maryland Institute, at which FIVE hundred
persons were prerent. Speeches Were made by
Dawson, Breckenridge, of Kentucky, Orr and
others. The party broke up at aboutten o'clock.
THE LONDON TMEs.--TEis press is said to
WELD astonishing influence in Europe. "Stocks
fall with rapidity on the stroke of its editorial
pen, and leading article from its gifted conduc-
tors, will shake a throne, and may drag down
principalities and powers" 1t is e joint stock
concern, and its principal editor received salary
some years since ofsix thousand dollars per an
mum. Its advertising is enormous, and paid for
before it goes into the paper. The new adyer-
tisements in single day have been known to
reach as high as ten thousand and thirty-eight
dollars. Probably the income from this source
for single day would be two thousand, or six
hundred thousand dollars per annuln. ,,>s

ICES bis administration Is the most brilliant
and successful in the history Of the cour-
try. The tariff act III 1916, the wal with
Mexico, and the conquest Of California,
are but a portion of the heritage Of glory
which James X. Polk ~bequeathed to his
country. And his was a mos thoroughly
and essentially democratic administration.
It is by virtue Of this bright retrospect
this long and brilliant roll of democratic
achievements-that the democratic party
demand the confidence Of the country in
this important crisis. They plead nov for
the ascendency Of democratic principles,
because the present glory and prosperity
of the country are the legitimate results Of
the ascendency Of democratic principles
in times past. They ask the people to in
trust the reins Of power TO a democratic
President, because every measure Of pub
lie policy which has heretofore contributed
to the welfare or renown Of the country
has been the achievement of democratic
President.-Wash. Union.

BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAILROAD.

The Baltimore American states that the
work on this road is advancing with great
ripidity. The engineer engaged in laying
the railroad track has completed his work
on this side Of a great tunnel, about 100
miles beyond Cumberland, and has come
on to Baltimore for the purpose of procur-
ing a locomotive, which will be conveyed
to Wheeling; to be used in the construc-
ton of the track from Wheeling eastward.
The work on the great tunnel is carried
on with great activity. and there is every
reason to believe that its final completion
by the first of January next will be &C.
complished. I
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Stock has
rapidly advanced in price since the LIST OF
January last. We learn from the Patriot,
that at the commencement Of the year the
shares sold at sixty-two dollars. and this
week sales have been made at over ninety
dollars-an increase Of nearly thirty dol.
lars a share. The improvement in price
results from the near approach Of the road
to completion. In view Of the increased
trade on the opening of the road to Wheel
ing, the company have now in course of
erection, a large number of locomotives
and cars.-Cumberland A~lleghanian.

RURIED ALIVE.

The Wheeling Times, relates the fol-
lowing melancholy burial; San lrishman,
who had died suddenly upon the railroad,
about eighteen miles below this city, was
brought here for interment in the Catholic
burial ground, on Tuesday. Upon taking
the coffin out of the wagon, Mr.. Fitzim-
mons, who happened to be present. COM
plimented the cabinet.maker for his skill
in the manufacture Of receptacles for the
dead, and then proceeded. without any
other ceremony, to lower the body into
the grave. After this was done they walk
ed away leaving the filing up to a subor-
dinate, who, after throwing in a few SHOW
elsful of earth was alarmed by a singular
noise, as of kicking and struggling in the
coffin, so that he ran away. Coming up
with Mr.. Fitzimmons, he told what he had
heard and both Immediately returned,
raised and opened the coffin, and found
the man turned on his face, and found his
person warm. The probability is that if
the coffin had been opened when the CON-
motion was first heard, the man might
have been saved. and that he died from
suffocation. This is no fish story, but an
absolute fact, and can be established by
the testimony of eye.witn esses."

The following description ofGen. Pierce,
is given by Col. Tarpley, Of Mississippi.
1t corroborates all that has been said Of
Gen. Pierce by those who know him best:
81 had the pleasure of spending some
days in company with Gen. Pierce, at Rye
Beach, New Hampshire, and found him
one Of the most interesting and fascinating
men whose acquaintance it has been my
good fortune at any time to make. He is
remarkably plain and simple in his habits,
digni6ed and courteous in his demeanor,
and at the same time one of the most kind
hearted, unpretending, and agreeable com.
panlons | ever met with. You would per.
ceive at the first glance that he was q man
of commanding intellect, and Of marked
character, and as q stranger in any crowd,
he would be pointed out as q man of dis
tinction. But while he excites your admi.
ration by his lofty bearing and graceful
elocution, the blandness Of his manners,
the gsntleness OF his nature. and that 70.
publican simplicity which characterizes all

he does and says, wins your hssst, and
however Indifferent you may have been
toward him before, he is sure to take you
captive, and make you feel that he is emf
nently n Of Gods noblesl works, ian
honest man." He possesses an enyiable
private character, and in all the relations
Of SON. husband, father and friend, he is
"sans pur ct sans reproache." The mis-
cradle SANDER Of his being a d~runkard,
like that Of his being a coward, is the sub
ject Of merrimeni where he is known, and
is SO o~utrageously false as not TO merit the
dignity of a refutation.
Old men in New Hampshire who have
known him from his early ~boyhood, and
have been intimate with him in his ripper
manhood, informed me that he has always
been remarkable for the sobriety Of his
habits. and certainly he presents no ap-
p~earance Of intemperance either in his
looks or tanners One thing speaks vol
umes in his praise. | have seldom seen
any man so admired and beloved by his
neighbors as is Gen. Pierce; and no high
er tribute could be paid to his moral worth,
than the respect and love Of those who
have known him longest and BEST could
at this point make a forcible contrast be-
tween the two ca%ndidates-as Gen. Scott
has quarreled with every subordinate off.
Ger OF rank under his command, and can
not find a solitary member Of his military
family who is willing to support him for the
Presidency; whilst those who have known
Franklin Pierce most intimately, are his
warmest friends, and will support him in
defiance of party discipline.

A ROBBERY.

The most extensive robbery ever per.
petrated in Cleveland, occurred at the
Weddell House, on Tuesday evening last.
We would have had a full report In last
evenings paper. but an agreement had
been made, as we understood. with all the
papers, not to publish it until to-day
The money, which consisted ofasome
$48 300, was brought TO the city IIn
possession Of Mr.. E. G. MoH
Easton, N. Y, the agent
buyer Of the Troy Wooden MAJ
Company, and was taken abo{
from his room. 1t has always y
tomary with him to place his mont
tween the mattresses Of his bed. Hd5d
so with the money he has lost, locked his
door, and went down stairs to supper
When he returned to his room the money
was gone. We gather the following from
local column of the Forest City: at was
in three packages, at the head Of the bed,
and at the foot was a package containing
$40, 900, which was untouched. The off.
GERS Of the city were on the alert yester.
day, but up to last evening no trace could
be had of the thieves, who must have fol-
lowed Mr.. MCKEE, from Troy; and thus
learned his habits. Five thousand dollars
reward is offered for the arrest of the vii.
lians. No blame can be attached to any
one, except Mr.. McKIE and the robbers.
as he had been advised repeatedly to de.
post his funds in the safe Of tho house.
Mr.. BUTrs is doing all in his power to
ferret out the matter"

THE FAIR.

The Second Annual Fair Of the Monroe
County Agricultural Society came off IN
last Thursday and Friday; and although
the first day opened very unpropiiously,
yet we are enabled to record the fact that
our Second Fair exhibited no ~diminution
kf interest from the First.
The number Of Horses entered. was Sc;
hnd we are satisfied that there is a percep.
fible increase ofinterest in this department.
The number Of Swine entered was IL.
No. Of Sheep 16.
We regret to notice that there were but
few entries in the department Of Forming
Implements, and hope in future to see moro
interest manifested. In the department Of
Mechanic Arts there were 10 entities
Diary products, &C., Al. Domestic Man.
ufactures, 90. Unenumerated Domestic
Manufactures, Flowers, &C., 26.
Taking it altogether we have reason to
be pr oud Of our Second Exhibition Of the
productive industry Of our county.
We learn that there has been some dis
satisfaction expressed at some Of tho
awards Of the committees. II is not to DO
expected that everybody will be satisfied.
That the committees decided impartially
and to the best Of their skill and judgment
we have not the least doubt. No reaec-
tons, therefore, should be cast upon their
acts. e4A

OUR RAILROAD TO THE OHIO.

A correspondent of the New York Jour.
nal of Commerce, writing from Pittsburgh,
says: "a
81 left New York a fortnight ago. and
came out TO- this country by way OF Phila.
delphia and Baltimore. From the latter
city we took the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road to Fairmont, a village on the left bank
Of the Monongahela, about go miles South
Of this city, and just 3o3 miles from Balti-
more. For years this road had been COM
pleted to Cumberland. 179 miles from Bal.
timore. Within a few weeks it has been
opened to Fairmont. We found the scenery
through which it passes. from Cumberland
to Fairmont, some 1874 miles) to be re.
markably fine. The road runs up the>val.
ley OF the Potomac some SO miles; then
up the valley Of Savage Creek; then it
passes over to "Glades," or intervening
table lands; then it descends into the val.
ley Of the Cheat River, where there is some
"~stupendous'' scenery, and a tunnel Of a
mile in length; thence it passes over into
"Tygart's Valley, River and the "South
Branch unite and form the Mononghela,
a few miles above Fairmont. Next Janu.
airy the road will be completed to Wheel.
ing, some rs miles from Fairmont; making
its whole length from Baltimore to the Ohio
377 miles. And certainly it win not be
possible to find a road in the United States
which passes through SO much fine scenery.
II will become n Of the favorite routes
from the East 10 the West. From Wheel.
ing, . Railroad communication with Gin.
cinnati will soon be- complsted.

WEBSTER AND SCOTT IN NEW ENG.
.... t.."U LAND.

The following interesting item we clip
from the telegraphic column Of the New
York Herald:
THE WEBSTER AMI SCOTT WINGS IN BOSTON.
Meeting Of both parties Webster ercitc-
ment on the increase-ScoH stock fall
ing etc. at
BosroN, Dot. 20, 1852.
The Webster Club held q meeting at
Art Union Hall this evening. which wal
fully attended. Several spirited speeches
we're made, and the greatest enthusiasm
prevailed.
The prospects Of Daniel Webster were
never brighter in the old Bay State. The
people are fully aroused Clubs are forming
in the several wards of the city, and .
grand Webster meeting will be held in
Faneuil Hall next week,at which time some
of the ablest wings in the Stat. will take
the stump.
The Scott wings held a meeting attheir,
headquarters this evening, and when that
body was called TO order There were but
thirty persons present, while Aet the Nvst.
ster meeting some four or fGe hundred
were present. Scott stock is Ealing very
fast. The falsehood published 10 the
Scott papers in reference TO Mr.. Webster
is injuring Glen. Scott, and very mIctl
adding to the Webster ranks.

IMPORTANT CORREsPONDENCE-MR.
HALE AND THE FREE SOIL VOTE.


When Mr.. Hale was in Cleveland, Dam
lei r. Tilden sought a private coniden-
tial interview with him, and demonstrated
against Mr.. Hale's efforts in Ohio. Til
den represented that by urging the Free
Sellers to vote their ticket, Mr.. Hale was
weakening the vote that Scott would 9th
erwise get, as the Hale men would vote
for Scott in preference to Pierce, if Hale
were out Of the way, and that his visit and
labors here would tend directly to the cleo
ton Of Pierce, and thus defeat the very
object of Mr.. Hale. Although Mr.. Hale
deprecated the election Of Pierce, he dis
scented from Tilden as TO his responsibility
for it, by his electioneering for the Free
Soil ticket.
What did Tilden do? Forget that he
himself had proposed that the interview
with Mr.. Hale should be private and CON
idential. and afterwards publicly declared
that Mr.. Hale had ayowed his preference
for Scott over Pierce. and Tilden on this
ground is urging the Hale men to 60 d.
rectly for Scott.
Mr.. Hale was Immediately written 10
by Messrs Reed. Chadwick and Turner,
Of Mt. Vernon, to know the truth of Til.
denis statements. Mr.. Hale squarely de-
MES, and states substantially what we
have repeated above. So Tilden's villainy
is exposed again. He can't "burn the
letter. of Mr.. Hale as he did Wade's'let-
ter. assuring him that Scott had avowed
himself an uncompromising abolitionist;
for Hale's letter is in the public prints.
The True Democrat, Mr. lIale's Ohio
organ, resents the representations Of Til
den & Co., as insulting to Mr.. Hale
This is backed up by the following card
from Hon. R. P. Spalding:
LOOK OUT FOR FRAUDS.
MEssRs. EDIToRs: | am credibly in
formed that certain hybrid politicians are
proclaiming from the stump that John P.
Hale secretly recommends the support Of
Gen. Scott by the voters of Ohio.
The proclamation | take the liberty to
say, has no found alton in truth, and | trust
no intelligent freeman will be deceived
thereby. Our friends must expect this sort
Of trickery on the eve OF the election.
R. P. SPALDING.
Whatever then may be the private feel
ing of Mr.. Hale, he is committed by every
honorable tie to his party, and it best COM
ports with their purposes and their policy,
to stand to Mr.. Hale, and give him their
utmost possible support. They say they
will give him $4,000 votes in Ohio, and in
other Western and Eastern States in pro-
portion. Things look very strongly indi-
catiye of that result.-OhiO Statesman.
