Political Row AT BALTIMoRE.-The telegraph
informs us that on Thursday night meeting of
the citizens of Baltimore-the object Of which was
to form Fremont electoral ticket for that State
was broken up by rowdes, and that the lead
ers narrowly escaped bodily injury. These
proceedings are disgraceful to the city
and the State, and we have no doubt that
they are SO regarded by the respectable citizens
of Baltimore, who certainly should not be held
accountable for the lawless acts Of few black
guards and shoulder hitters- who always in
fest every great city, and finally bring up in the
penitentiary. Nevertheless, the naked fact will
have political sgnifcancy and it will strengthen
Fremont at the North. The intelligent men OF
the South know this to be true, and therefore
keep aloof from rows, which only react upon
their originators.

How TO CIR News CHEAPLY--LlBERALIrY or
THE CoUSrRY.-Our readers are probably aware
that the leading journals in this city are com
bined into an association for the purpose Of OBJ
tanning news by telegraph from Ell parts of the
Union. The work of this association extends
over thousands Of miles, and IL has its agents In
every place Of Importance in the country. The
expense Of this enterprise, always great, is very
much increased during election times, and ar
rangements are made to give by telegraph and
express the fullest returns that can be had A
proposition Is made to the journals Of other cities
and towns on the line of the telegraph to take
this important news, paying for il pro rata. This
would 80 divide the expense as to make IL com
paratiyely small, and spread the news before all
the people, instead Of giving its monopoly to the
readers Of metropolitan journals But these
newspapers, including some Of the richest of those
in Philadelphia and Boston, refuse to pay any
thing for the news, preerring to steal II from the
New York journals; and we are thus obliged 10
buy news not only Tor our own readers, but also
supply It to other people WHO are too mean TO
pay for it. These facts should b. known 10 the
public. They fully account for the power and
preponderance Of he New York press-a power
that is founded upon enterprise. progress and
liberality--the want Of which requisites has made
even the best Of the provincial presses merely

SLICED by the combined influences Of laziness and

This view of the action and extension of the
religious press in the single city of New York is
eminently suggestive. 1t will be perceived that
the circulation Of those papers which may be
said to go for slavery and Buchanan is small
compared with all the others. Out of an entire
circulation of 200, the religious journals
which are represented as going for Buchanan
and slavery, have only 1900 Of that circula-
ton, leaving a circulation of 10000 to the
others.
From the above we may form some idea of the
influence set in motion in favor of Fremont and
free Kansas in the State of New York alone:
for it viii readily be understood that the crcula-
ton above described is spread over the State,
and not confined to the city.
To measure approximately the amount and
weight of this element in other States. we viii
add to the above q tabular view of the vari-
GUS evangelical churches in the United States.
For this table we are indebted to the valuable

square, last evening If the Fremonters make a
similar splurge, they win claim as great an at
tendance as the opposition; and thus we shall
have one hundred and twenty thousand per
sons engaged in politics-double the number of
votes in the city. When we consider that as
many as half the voters in New York pay no at
tention to political meetings, but get their infor-
nation and their argument from the press, it will
be seen at once how foolish these stories are.
