EFFECTS OF RUFFIANIsM.

The following letter (says the Richmond Enqui-
rer) from subscriber in Maryland shows. how the
ruian rule of pug-ugysm is driving away from that
State some of her best citizens
.H @aEEa MARYLAND, Oct l9, 1857.
GENTLEMEN Be kind enough to alter the direction Of
my paper, and send it hereafter to - instead Of to
-. am about to move my residence from the place
Of my nativity and must acknowledge that the rufan
rule of the socalled American party has suggested the
changenot from motives Of fear but actuated alone by
of expediency. The plugugly spirit SO rife in
Baltimore is rapidly polluting the minds Of the hereto
fore patriotic and conservative citizens of the counties
and anticipate with crimsoned check the evils Of that
day fast approaching when the desoatng and pernicou
phrensy of Baltimore know-nothngism shall seize upon
the hearts and minds Of country communities and
induce them to violate the sancy Of their relations
neighbors and lawloving men, and urge them stride
after stride to strife and woe, and TO deeds of violence
terrible than the fires of the stake the fortunes of
the rack orany Of the unfeeng and barbaros bucheres
which marked the days Of wtchcraft and religious into
In the manly, dignifed, and yirtuous spirit
which pervades the democratic party of Maryland,
elsewhere alone discover those glimmcrings of
light which may hereafter diae its beams throughout
the dark and cky cells OF the hearts of infatuated
and deluded At least in this revolution place my
hope and believe when revusion Of feeling shall give
to the democratic party its legitimate and wholesome
sway brighter day will dawn upon benighted State,
and the pages of crime and bloodshed which deface the
annals Of Maryland history be redeemed by record of
peaceuness and liberation similar to that which graced
the days of Calvert.

THE PEOPLE AND THE PAPER CURRENCY

The evils inflicted upon the country by the paper
manufacturing and paperissuing banks thus
forciby set forth by the New York Day Book:
our currency is completely out of joint and it is al
most impossible for laboring mechanic to get
hold of bank bill that he buy bread meat po-
tatoes with This State money, it Is true at par in
Wall street but how little do the people get Of that class
of bills which can be depostedi Next to at all
Eastern and Jersey paid TO the laborng people by
nearly every employer and then they have to go from
store to store and shop to shop before they pass
and when they do get it Off they must pay ten per cent
more for what they buy. Then, again. State money Is
but little better cannot go to Philadelphia with it,
nor to Boston, nor Providence, nor New Haven even
without great deal of trouble and annoyance. Now
then, what, we would ask have the people done that
they should be troubled in this way The banks
did them particle of good, loaned them any
money, gave them discount On the other hand
they have loaned the banks millions of days labor, and
taken their notes at hand for them. Why should they
be bothered with bank bills any longer Let them pnt
stop to the Issuing of Them and they wl put stop
the evil. +" ~ 80
