Tie Value Of Prayer--Prayer is a
heaven to the sbipresked man, an anchor to
them that are sinking in the waves, a staff
10 the limbs that totter, mine of+jewels to
the poor, a healer Of diseases, and guar.
dian of health. Prayer at once Secures the
continuance of.our blessings, and dissipates
the cloud of our calamities. O, blessed
prayer; thou art the unwearied conquorer
OF human woes, the firm foundation of
human happiness the sources of ever endu.
ring JOY, the mother of philosophy. The
man who can pray truly, though langui,h-

observe that the Young Mems Christian Associ-
alton have recommended the observance of the en-
suing 4th ofNovember as day of fasting humilia-
ton and prayer. 1t seems indeed to be a most APP
propriate suggestion. The anniversary of day
which, in this Christian city, witnessed the depriva
ton Of one moiety of the community of their
political rights, without awakening any COM
mensurate Indignation action for their pro
lection in the other, should be day of relcc
ton and repentance to all. To those who feel
grateful to Divine Providence for the MANY
blessings which institutions confer, it
must indeed have been startling spectacle to wit
law securing the political rights of the people
trampled in the dust by mob, with the authorities
tame spectators OF the scene, and yet none pro-
testing against it but the victims themselves. Per-
elevated to Offices on that day, and whostllhold
them andderive pecuniary comfort therefrom, might
perhaps during the observance of general fast, be
brought to their conduct in its true light, and
by ceasng to enjoy what was improperly obtained,
become testimonials of great good, and be saved as
brands from the burning. There is great need for
humiliation. Within eighty years from the time
when civil and religious liberty was supposed to be
confirmed TO the descendants of those who shed
their blood in that behalf, we have brought their
abors to naught. One branch of Christians, and one
division of citizens need to have day appointed to
remind them that their rights disrcgarded. Is
it not possible that day of reflection and fasting
may clear the mists from the minds of their breth-
rem, who do not, as yet, appreciate where the
responsibility lies? Can the blessing Of Heaven
rest community that permits the legacy of free
dom, bequeathed by pious ancestry, so soon to be
destroyed? Let us hope for refreshing and AVA
kened zeal in the cause of justice to all Let
us observe that day in an humble and contrite
spirit. Let the 18th of October its recurrence,
be reviewed under like Christening influences, and
ere long the Christian spirit of regard for ones
neghbor above ones self, may inspire with equal
adherence of the recent wrongs, those who have
felt their OPPRESSION and those who have not.

arms than are usually carried by that class of emil
grants; but fit is discovered that they bring with
them full supply Of arms and munitions of war,
they will doubtless be seized and either sent back
to the UNITED STATES or turned over TO the officer
in command of the American squadron on that
station Such, we take it, will be the course
pursued in this matter, and when it is charged
upon England that her design is ''to secure a per-
"manent Judgment upon the Isthmus, to the
prejudice of American interests" it would be
well to remember that her statesmen have frequent
y and emphatically disclaimed any such purpose,
and that nothing has trauspired since which should
lead us to question the honesty of the dsavowal.
1t is undoubtedly cause for reproach to u.s. that
Costa RIGA and Nicaragua should have found it
necessary to appeal for protection, against preda-
tory bands from the UNITED STATES, to any other
government than that of the UNITED STATES; but
the fault lies with US, and not with the feeble
Republics who have felt themselves aggrieved. 1t
Is not even yet past remedy. We have simply to
undertake to exercise the same police jurisdiction
in the waters of Central America that we have
recently assumed in the waters of the Gulf Stream;
to adhere rigidly to the line of policy announced
in the Washington Union, and to conform our
selves, and to compel others to conform likewise,

their augmentation, in the future, is the combined
and resoute action of the citizens themselves within
the limits of the law also. They have therefore
pledged themselves to each other, to ons with such
affiliated societies rs may be formed, for like pur
poses, throughout the city, in indicating and re-
establishing their rights and restoring the good
name of Baltimore. 1t is their declared purpose
so to unite in guarantying hereafter the purity
of the ballot-box and absolute freedom of access
thereto, and in promoting and securing, by all
lawful and fair means, the election of honest, com
peten and faithful men, without distinction of par
ty to the various Offices of Municipal Judicial and
Executive trust in this city. Every member of the
Association, while binding himself to the exclusion
of party purposes and preferences from its counses
and action, remains free and uncommitted to pur-
sue his political convictions in all matters of gener
al Government and policy. The Association has
been organized by the election of the permanent
officers, whose names are subscribed hereto. As
its first and most appropriate public act 1t has re-
solved to make the present appeal to the communi-
tv and its members therefore respectfully and ear

have disclosed, and which common and vital
