Chapel in this town. 1t win be seen that
the friends of the cause are requested to
assemble at the Court house On We'd
nesday, the 10th day of June next, at
3 o'clock. p NJ, at which time ad-
dresses in behalf Of this most important
enterprise may be expected from Hon.
II. J. BowIE, and other friends.
The success of this society thus far
must be truly gratifying to every friend
of religion and morality among us, and

increased exertions in a cause that has
already effected SO much good. Let
them, then, attend the proposed meeting

The Book which is to be circulated by
this society, itself assures US, that " it is

be challenged in vain to produce through
out its Icing annals any other whose cir

comparable to the moral grandeur and

various places along the valley of the

For the Montgomery Co. Sentinel.
The Sixth Congressional District OF
Maryland.

Mr. EDITOR: l have long regarded
our Congressional District as the most
important one in the whole Union, for
many reasons. 1t will be deemed sufi-
cient for my present purpose however, |
trust, to suggest those only that are
prominent and worthy of our most scfi
Gus reflection.
The Republics Metropolis was design
ed by its immortal founder to be in all
respects worthy of the nation. Its mon
uments, public buildings, parks, ave
MUGS, streets, and spaces were designed
for an enlarged posterity and growth Of
freemen on freedoms soil; in fact, was
thus dedicated for all time. From his
proximity who supposed to be so capable,
patriotic, and willing as the representa-
tive of our district to administer this
legacy and trust, not only for us, but for
those who are to fill our places.
The District of Columbia, when view
ed from local stand point, is all essen
tial to our prosperity. Our adjunct and
suburb relation thereto has vastly con-
tributed to make us what we are in
wealth and population. Is it not all i'm
portant that we have a representative
with proper abilities to guard this hither-
to neglected reservoir? Aside from all
patriotism, how derelict in duty have we,
of Maryland been, in not having such
men that would not only propose meas
ures in the execution of this sacred trust,
but had the ability and disposition to rise
in their places and advocate the continual
ton Of the Metropolis, and all else cal
culated to elevate and adorn it on the
same scale its founder thought he had
placed it.
To suggestive mind, ought not those
considerations to be regarded and acted
on? Our interests, trade, prospects,
hopes, fears and destiny are interviewer
as one.
Iu reviewing the public history of cur
Maryland representatives, the services of
Senator PEARoE and the Hon. j. VAN
SAINT stand out 10 bold relief; nor was
the late lamented Gen. CHAPMAN inferior
to them; he was the peer of any faithful
representative that ever graccd legisla-
tive halls; in point of address, industry,
ability and general fitness, few men
weighed so much. His district yet feels
and deplores his loss.
/ am not the advocate of any particu-
lar man or party, nor, in this connection,
do care whit of what politics or what
portion of the district that the next rep
resentative comes from; but do very
much regard the general style and quail
fcations Of the man.
| am aware that our most estimable
fellow citizen, A. Bowie DAVIS, Esq,
does not seek office. Could he not be in
duced to accept? His well known con-
servatism, unsullied private and public
character, ability, business habits, and
indomitable industry would render him
in my opinion, not only the best, but
most suitable representative in our dis
trict. SLIGO.
