THE STAMP ACT IN MARYLAND.

Active movements are going on in Baltimore to
procure repeal of the Stamp Act which has been
in force in Maryland for several years past twas
imposed at time when the people, under the wise
and energetic counsels of Governor PRATT, deter
mined to restore the credit of the State at all sacr
fees, and has been borne with commendable pa
thence ever since The resources of the State now,
we are happy to learn, appear to be in condition
to justify the repeal of this act, which necessa
riy partial in its bearing, and bore principally upon
commercial points. The merchants of Baltimore
have had meeting numerously attended, at the
Exchange, and have presented to the Legislature a
memorial for repeal.

Mr. CARvALLo, Envoy Extraordinary and Min.

residence at Washington of eight years, took leave
of the President his return to Chill, on Friday
last, and with his family, sailed from Baltimore to
Val araiso in the ship Susan L. Fitzgerald on the
22d instant ..
The official intercourse of Mr. CARvALLo with
our Government, and his social intercourse with
cur citizens, manifest his ripe Judgment good heart and
good taste. He has left but friends, very many
friends and general regret at the parting with es
mable family; and all cordially unite in good wishes
himself his amiable lady and children that their voyage
may be pleasant and their whole career Of life happy
Mr. CARvALLo carries with him very marked proof Of
respect and confidence entertained for him by
the President and other high functionaries of Gov
ernmen and has to be proud Of the elevated and
honorable position in which he has placed the relations
between the two nations.
The CHILEAN Government, justly appreciating his
peror Abilities has conferred him the charge of her
foreign relations for which his experience home and
abroad peculiarly qualities him. In her choice of Mr.
CaRvALLo's successor near Government, she will in
deed be fortunate if she shall find equally
acceptable to our people, and cquay DESTROYS and nde

The New York National Democrat remarks Of
the late venerable editor of the Union, that " for
nearly century, while he was at the head of the
Richmond Enquirer, his word was law with the
Southern Democracy"
We beg to say that this brief sentence con-
tains two material errors. In the first place, the
gentleman referred to conducted the Enquirer less
than half a century; and, secondly, however well
qualified he was to give the law to the Democracy
of the South, there was, half century ago, no
such political solecism in the South as Democracy
There was Republicanism, we are happy to say, and
mutitudes of sincere and enlightened republicans
but no such thing as democracy or democrats
These exotics are of modern growth in the South

SATURDAY, JANUARY %, 1854.
CONG 3 E S S /.

Within few days the SENATE passed resolu-
ton setting apart Friday of each week as day to
be devoted to the consideration of private claims
and prescribing that the first Friday of each month
shall be given up to private claims upon which no
debate shall arise or be intimated. In pursuance
of this resolution the Senate yesterday occupied
in considering the private bills upon it's calendar,
some of which were passed and others postponed.
1t seems to us a benefcent provision, that which
sets apart day of the week for undivided atten
ton to the rights or presumed rights of many de-
serving citizens whose strong claims might be
readily overlooked otherwise in the midst of the
pressing importance of public affairs. Indeed, but
a few visits to our Congress are requisite to con-
vince any impartial observer that much credit is
due to many gentlemen of both Houses who bestow
an amount of labor and care upon subjects entirely
personal to others and of private character which
is far from sufficiently appreciated by the distant
community. Very many persons give not nearly
so assiduous study to their own affairs as do some
gentlemen we might nameto applicants for Congress
sional justiee-applcants, too, unknown to the
Members, save by the justice and force of their
demands. --..-~ar-.
If the general principle be correct that one day
should be allowed to those who have no redress but
in the active of right in both bodies of Con-
gress, it is an enhancement of its practical value to
charge it with the provision that on one day of each
month those claims only shall occupy the time of
the Senate to which no objection is heard So in a
few instants may many worthy men and women
who have languished in poverty and privation-re
sulting only from patriotic disregard of self in times
of national necessity-be restored to competence
which may gid the declining days of lives whose
youth and meridian of valor or usefulness were I'm.
selfshly given to their country. Examples of each
kind of such devotion it would be easy to enumerate
but it would seem invidous toward others, and we
forbear. W.:
The HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, was engaged
nearly the entire sitting in Committee of the Whole,
upon private bills, A large number were reported
for passage, but many more were objected to and
laid over for further discussion. 1t may here be
remarked that every second and fourth Fridays in
the month are set apart by the House for private
claims, making only sixteen days in session Of
eight months. The reader can judge of the pros
poets of claimants, some of whom have been before
Congress from one to twenty years.
Both Houses adj ourned over to Monday.
