ROWDYISM IN BALTIMORE.

The Methodist Protestant which all must know is
not partisan paper, says in its last issue
That rowdyism is dominant in Batinsore cannot be
questioned is useless to attempt to palliae conceal

We sorry to be compelled to record such state Of
things both account of the insecurity of citizens
and of the bghtng influence which it must exert upon
commercial and business relations. Merchants from
abroad will be absolutely afraid to sojoum in Baltimore
They not willing to rely upon the assurance that
there is danger to peaceably disposed persons

Visitors wish to have the whole city before them to be
able to walk out in conscious security and long

citizens afraid to walk out at night in parts
of the city The consequence is fatal to the nights of
gious persons. Only few days ago minister of this
city expressed the apprehension that he should have
to close his night meetings account of the influence

neghborhood So unwilling they to be Out at night
that he could scarcely summon enough men to hold

confrmatory letter from Governor Medary, which
we find in the Ohio Statesman:
