PRESIDENT PIERCE AND HIS sPEEcHEs-RELraIos

Garrrspon0turf Of tbf ErssttHt
BALTIMORE, July 15
The lnaneness of the dog-day has been
agreeably broken in upon by the pomp and cir
cumstance that has attended the Presidents
progress from the political to the commercial
capital Of the country. The press and the tels-
graph, the great motors Of modern times, have
given the occasion its full significance, and
every movement Of the President or his suite.
every demonstration, every speech, every
chance incident which the progress has sup-
eested, are recorded, printed and scattered
throughout the land with minuteness of detail
which amuses by its novelty, but which, if re-
peated, would be apt to nauseate The Presi-
dent has proved himself an adept in compI-
ments-his stock of praise seems as illimitable
as it varies
IN Baltimore, We thought ourselves first
favorites by the warmth with which he referred
to our history, past, present, and to come, and
the apparent ecstacy in which he re-christensd
US as the denizens Of " the city of the star
spangled banner" At Wilmington, however.
he 1Isabused US Of our deluslon the blue hens
| chickens there came in for the hyperbole we
thought expended on US. At Philadelphia both
Wilmington and Baltimore sank before the ex-
cess Of admiration which was excited in his mind
by thee revolutionary "reminiscences and other
belongings OF the Quaker City. At New York
his complimentary mood eliminated, and he
comes decidedly to the conclusion that this ia a
great country, NewYork a great place, and we
all great people. of which he is the great Pre-
sident. l am rather afraid that such an excess
of eomplaisance will spoil his hearers, and that
the next great man who makes the g progress
will have to invent some new style Of compli-
mentary oratory, if he wishes to be successful
in tickling the fancy or exciting the applause of
the million
The reprieve of Conner, the boy under SEN
tence Of death for murder, having been attri-
buted to sectarian influence by the Clipper
both the reprieved and the Governor being
Catholics) the aspersion has brought the Gov
egnor out in caustio reply, in which, while he
denies the allegation, he handles the Clipper
without mercy Though the Governor, in the
absence OF any specific facts on which to base
the Clippers charge, has decidedly the best of
the controversy, yet in the present excited state
of religious feeling here the charge itself is very
generally believed, and if the Governor should
| finally determine to commute the punishment, q
good deal Of exaspersted feeling will be pro-
duced. As 10 the prisoner himself, he is un-
| less, wanton rutian, who shed blood in the mere
qualification of brutal passion A San Fran
cisco Committee Of Vigilance would be the best
| conservators of his fate
| The democrats held elections in the wards Of
| the city last night TO determine on their candi-
date for the Sheriffalty The choice fell on one
of the most obscure of their candidates-Mr
| Thomas W. Heller, who obtained plurality of
all the votes cast The Office is worth small
fortune, and is the great prize among the local
| politicians.
| Louden Cemetery is the name of beautiful
| tract of one hundred acres of land which was
+, yesterday dedicated to the purposes of burial
1t is situated about two miles west of the city,
and, being handsomely located and possessing
great natural beauties, will become favorite
place of sepulchre with the present and future
generations of Baltimoreans.
Ex President Arista, Santa Anna's banished
predecessor. has arrived in this city and il at
Barnums Hotel He will receive many marks
of attention from our citizens during his stay.
The late Judge Glenn's estate is appraised at
nearly a million of dollars in value. He left
the great bulk of it to his widow, to be used on
behalf of his children.
In business matters dead calm, broken
scarcely by ripple, prevails. Breadstufs have
felt the fayorat lie influence of the advance in
European markets, but the continuance of that
advance is regarded so very problematical that
it has tended to rather check than advance ope-
rations. The bark Swan arrived here this
morning, with Rio dates to the 10th Of June.
She reports n fair demand for American pro-
duce, without any material change in coffee.
The dates from the River Platte are to the 9TH
Of June Political affairs at Buenos Ayres were
in the most unsettled state; the blockade was
still kept up and the city obstinately holding
out. OBSERVER.
