Rarnum,s Hotel. Baltimore.

This famous hotel, erected about thirty years
ago, has recently undergone extensive improve
ments, as we learn from the Baltimore Patriot
New windows have been placed in each of the three
fronts with balconies attached to those of the prin
cipal stories. The main building has been extend
cd by an addition of two and half, and the re.
maindcr by an addition of one and half, stories
Ornamental cornices and window frames have es-
sentially changed the whole exterior of the house,
and greatly increased its beauty, while the interior
has been richly painted in fresco and superbly re-
furnished. An imposing stone porch will soon take
the place of the present fight of steps at the main
entrance, which, with the other improvements
completed and projected, win render Barnum's one
of the most perfect hotels in the world.
Barnum's Hotel has been, since Its erection, the
popular resort of all travellers who had occasion
to visit Baltimore. It's original landlord, David
Barnum, native of Connecticut, was the lessee of
the great Exchange Coffee House in Boston, when
it was destroyed by fire in 1919. The Exchange
Coffee House was one of the chief wonders of the
United States, and was erected at cost of $780,
900. 1t was conducted by Barnum in a style un-
equalled in those days by any hotel in Europe or
America The experience thus acquired, Barnum
brought with him to Baltimore, and until his re-
tirement from active lfe his house in that city was
the resort Of the most distinguished people in the
country. This was especially the ease before the
construction of railroads, and when Baltimore was
the northern terminus of the great mailcoach line
of Stockton and Stokes, which extended thence
to New Orleans. Mr.. Webster, Judge Story, John
Quincy Adams, Chief Justice Marshall, John Ran
dolph, Henry Clay, Mr. Everett, and their contem-
poraries during the last quarter of century, have
passed many night under its hospitable roof
| BoUGHT UP.--It is significant fact, says the
Albany Statesman, that as soon as the article con-
corning the Romanism of John G. Fremont, from
the organ of Archbishop Hughes, was made public
through the American journals, every number Of
the Freeman's Journal containing the original pro-
nunciamento was bought up by the Black Repub-
licans.
| AT an early hour on the day the exposure took
place, every news depot in New York was visited
by the friends Of Mr. Fremont, and every number
Of the Roman Catholic organ containing the fatal
article was purchased and destroyed This is sig
nifcant of the Importance which the Republicans
attach to the evidence of their candidates Roman.
ism, and accounts for the eagerness with which
they have sought to deny every account that
proves him member Of the Romish Church.
They know that the blow is fatal.

THE COUNTY CANDIDATES.

The Court House was crowded, on Tues
day last, to hear addresses from the county
candidates. WIN. r. MYERS and w. F.
DAVIDSON, Esqrs., addressed the voters pre-
sent, in speeches highly gratifying to their
political friends. Neither of the Know-No-
thing nominees responded to polite invita-
ton extended them by Mr.. Myers, before he
took the stand-nor did any person in their
behalf. Such a course, however, was dictated
by good policy. The principles of Know
Nothingism have all to lose and nothing to
gain by discussion before an intelligent peo-
pie. Sam hourished everywhere. SO long as
he kept in the dark. The moment he was
dragged from his hiding place, and his de-
formities exposed to the light of day and
the view of a liberal and enlightened peo
pie, he has been rapidly descending to that
bourne whence no traveller returns. -
Messrs. Young and Wilson, therefore. have
acted wisely by declining to go before the
people and advocating the claims of their
dearly beloved Sam. They are both gentle
men dyed in the wool" of Known othing-
ism, and rocking from head to foot with the
obnoxious vapors of the dens of that secret
and oath bound concern. Surely, they do
not expect the people of Mecklenburg to
vote for them, so long as they have the sins
of Know Nothihgism to answer for.

longs to that party. On the contrary, he ls,
as his course and his votes at all elections
have shown him to be, a thorough-b bred,

OF our friends will PREJUDICE Mr.. NJ, hastily.
We ask in his behalf a suspension of opin-
ion until he can be heard himself on the sub

we here state.

SANFORD HARRISON"

The Wing parades letter in its columns
signed Sanford HARRISON and wishes to
know "what the Democrat will say to it."
The Democrat answers: If the letter is
not forgery, Mr.. Harrison is an imposter,
a knave, or great fool. He processes to be
"a Democrat" sketching plan to defeat
Fremont and elect Buchanan President
And how does he propose to do this ! By
proposing that the Democrats do not pre-
sent an Electoral Ticket in New York, and
that all the Democrats of that State vote
for Fillmore and Donelson, and thus throw
the election into Congress, where, he says,
Mr.. Buchanan or Mr.. Breckenridge will
be elected ~ Such a plan, he admits,
might elect Mr.. Fillmore, but, he says. she
has no sort of fear Of that" That is what
the weak, knavish, or silly Mr.. Harrison
proposes; and yet the Wing publishes his
letter to show that there is no chance for
the election of Mr.. Buchanan, and that the
contest is between Fillmore and Fremont {!
Could any thing be more ridiculous Pro-
posing that the Democrats run no ticket in
New York, and that they all vote for Fill
more, to aid Mr.. Buchanan's election ! !!
And yet this is the exact proposition of the
letter to which the Wing calls our attention !!
The Wing ought to be ashamed to let such
silly article appear in its columns. If
written by Democrat (which we do not
believe) it must have been intended to hoax
Know Nothings.

DEMOCRATS OF MEcKLENBURG

The election is at hand. On Thursday
you are called upon to say whether you arc
in favor of or opposed to Know y othing-
ism. We will not reflect upon your patrio-
tSm, by appealing TO you at a crisis like
the present, to attend the polls. You are
well aware of the Importance of the contest
on Thursday, and we are sure, eagerly
waiting for the opportunity to cast your
votes in favor of your cherished principles,
the principles of the Constitution and equal
rights. Know othingism is seeking to es-
tabish itself in high places in your State.
1t remains with you to say whether it shall
have charge of the destinies of this good old
State, and rule over you and yours with its
anti American, illiberal, and pro<criptive
principles, as with a rod of iron, or whether
fathers, as embodied in the Constitution and
the Bill of Rights, shall continue to prevail.
1t you wish Massachusetts, and Vermont
and all their fanatical crow, to send up
shout of exultation to reach the very heav-
ems, let tie Democrats be defeated on
thursday next, in North Carolina. Why
they Will exult We leave TO your own intel
hSence to determine. But, that they would

Your defeat with Examinations and torch
light professions, there can be no doubt
IL such Civilizations over your defeat, by the
fanatics of the North. will prove agreeable
your Southern ears, either stay at home
on the day of election, or 60 to the polls and
vote Cor the Know-Nothing party. Re-
member, too, that the hopes of the same
party are resting upon this election, to ad-
vance their prospects of success ut the cleo
hSH for President in November. The
Anow-Nothings are moving heaven and
earth, as it were, 70 defeat you. They are
Calling in ell parts of the State, upon their
secret clans to come forth on the day of e.
lection in their full strength, to vote early,
aud then TO labor the balance of the day in
getting the careless or Indifferent to the
polls. We warn you of their efforts, that
you may initiate their example,, and not be

enemy. Show corresponding efforts, and
glorious Democratic victory will be the
result.

large number of turkeys, geese and ducks,
were also at the same time the fruits of Mrs.

he is a tried man." Upon the same
ground We ask the people to vote for
Thomas Bragg. He has been "tried," and
found in every respect an able, dignifed
honest and capable Executive Officer. His
bitterest enemy has not dared to find
fault with him, as Governor of North Car
olina! Why, then, should he be turned out
and an untried man put in his place? Let

NEW YORK

The two wings of the Democratic party
of New York, met last week in State Con-
vention, at Syracuse, and formd Union
Ticket for the next election in that State.
This makes assurance doubly sure that the
vote of that great State will be given to
Buchanan and Breckenridge.
Mr.. Harrison's advice, that they all vote
for Fillmore, to elect Buchanan! was not
adopted. The ''Whig" will no doubt be
surprised that the Democrats of New York
have disregarded such plausible and sen
sible plan for the election of Buchanan!
