should arise justifying her, in her own judgment,
in taking that step; and in the resolution adopted
by her Convention, declared that she forbore the
immediate exercise of that right, from consdera-
tions of expediency only:
''And tohereas, More than years have
elapsed since that Convention adjourned. and in

THE RErRocEss1oN OF GEORGETOWN, D. c., TO THE
STATE OF MARYLAND.-Our good neghbOrs and
yoke-fellows of Georgetown have been for many
years past, to a considerable extent, dissatisfied
with their business circumstances and political
dition and in consequence have been casting about
in different directions for and, it would
seem to them, preferable political relation But if
the non contents with their present status have
been numerous in our neighbor city they have not
been particularly unanimous. Whilst many have
vigorously advocated retreat to the bosom of
their old mother, Maryland in imitation of the re-
PROCESSION OF Alexandria county to Virginia, others
have as decidedly expressed their wish to become
municipality merged into Washington, giving as
therefor that the interests of the two cities
which are presumed VERY strangely, we confess, to
us) to be now variant, would then be and the
same The advocates of the policy of recession to
Maryland alege their complaint to be grounded on
| the overshadowing influence of Washington, and
especially on the conflict of purposes between the
two cities respecting the channels and navigation
of the Potomac river within the limits of the Dis
trict. When; fifteen eighteen years ago, this
| latter policy was warmly espoused in Georgetown
| it answered and generally conceded that tie
| debt of the State was quite too heavy to make a
gratutous position under its pressure at all desira-
Bile. The objection of heavy State debt, however
the friends OF recession say, has been removed by
the improved condition of the financial affairs Of
the State, and we have understood it to be contem
| plated by some energetic citizens of the town to
| commence forthwith with the preliminary action,
by way of appeals to Congress and the Legislature
of Maryland in order to obtain their object Nat.
