! The Frederick Convention.
| A State Convention of the Democratic par
ty was held in Frederick City, on the Goth
| inst, at which Mr.. A. Lingan Jarrett Of liar-
| ford county, was nominated for the office OF
! Comptroller Of the State. This convention,
we have been told by Democratic journals,
was composed of the best men of that party
and we suppose the statement is correct. II
| so, then we would enquire what advantage
it would be to the quiet and orderly portion
Of the commonwealth, to take from the pres
ent dominant party in the State the manage
lncnt of our affairs and entrust it to those
represented by this convention. If the con
vontonists are to be judged by their declara-
tons, and if they are a fair reflex Of their con-
stituents then most assurcdly change would
be from bad to worse. What was the temper
and spirit of these men may be gathered from
the following remarks made by the most
prominent men in the convention. The first
called upon to address the meeting was En-
Governor Lowe. This gentleman, tie Balt-
more Patriot informs us, had been elected
Governor Of the State, by the Democracy 'o-
ting in the City Of Baltimore every male pau
per in the Almshouse, and by 90 Democratic
voters, voting in every ward IN the City
Such n damaging fact as this ought to have
becu sufficient 70 shut his mouth forever, hut
in the malgnity Of his hate for that city by
which, through the above cited means, he had
attained to the Gubernatorial chair, he de-
clarcs that the object of the convention is to
| "inaugurate campaign for the redemption
OF Baltimore, which for the last five years has
been ruled by rowdyisrn." To effect this he
exnorts the Democracy ito GO to work har-
moniorsly with their whole hearts and strong
arms, and redeem themselves by means more
po,cortm than reaSoaiHg." TINS is not the
first time that the leaders of the Democracy
have counciled the use of other means than
| reason to secure the vote Of Baltimore. a
Mr. Wright, who opposed Mr.. Swami when
| he was elected to his first term rs Mayor adj
vised his party to 60 to the polls well armed,
and to wade through blood knee deep lsit
any wonder then that there should be strife
on tie day Of election? Is amatter Of as

that men should be murdered when the lead
ers Of the party council such proceedings ?-
| By the way we may remark that it is 4 fact,
one that points Enthusiastically to the source
of the riots on election daysin Baltimore, that
| the murdered and manned rs general thing
are those who are opposed to the Democracy.
Another speaker at this celebrated convcn-
ton by the name of Frcancr from Washing
ton county, chopped that the con vcnti,n which
it was proposed to hold on tie 81 Of next
March would not be held in tie 'God-accur-
scd God-forsakcn. damned City OF Bulti-
more" Hon. j. NansAnt in answer to n re-
mark of this man Freancr viz: that Baltimore
could not be won back to Democracy, made
the following remarks: "What could the par
ty do when they were surrounded by n stand
ing army Of COO men, who constitute the city
police force and also by hundreds of armed
dcspcradocs who We're the minions Of the
Prince of Americans, the Mayor. The Dem
ocratic party were always Il quiet, wcll-diS-
posed and peaceablc party, they had tried al
most every way imaginable to surmount
these difficulties, but the party had not ' ct
ent, ii it should become necessary, however,
to do SO, the gentleman would find that there
would be hundreds and thousands of strong
arms ready to support tie cause" Nansant
has represented Baltimore in the Councils of
the nation. He has always been bigotcd
heady, intracticable and self-wiled politician,
pie as unfit to serve them he vents lis impo-
tent wrath against the City that took him
from obscurty, and made him all he is, and
now he has the impudcncc to stand up and
dcnounce the City, and like Lowe, threaten
the use of brute force to accomplish that
which a majority of the citizens OF Baltimore
say the Democracy shall not posscss--thc
control of the City Government. Tho spirit
and temper of this convention has fully sat-
isfed us that the democracy are doomed in
the coming contest to an overwhelming de-
feat. Thoughtful, quiet, peaeeabe and we'll
disposed men will not vote with party that
announces beforehand its purpose to carry
the election at all hazards-that it will not
stop at the shedding of blood and the sacrifice
of life in order that it may possess the rens
