THE POSITION OF MARYLAND.
LETTER OF GOV. HICKS TO THE MISSISSIPPI
COMMISSIONERS.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 81.
The american of tomorrow will contain
the correspondence of Hardy, the Mississ.
ippi Commissioner, and Gov. Hicks. The
latter replies to the request of the former to
convene the Legislature and cooperate
with Mississippi in forming new Confed-
eracy. Gov. Hicks states that, although
Maryland is identified with the South, she
is devoted to the Union, and her people will
use all honorable means to perpetuate the
Union. The sentiment of the people is al
most unanimous to maintain their rights in
the Union and believing that their rights
will be admitted and secured, not until all
honorable, constitutional and lawful efforts
fail, will Maryland consent to dissolution.
He says that whatever he does will be done
after consultation with other border States
who really have the most to complain OIL
He is now awaiting with solicitude the re-
suit of the correspondence with the Govern
ors of the border States relative to the
course to be pursued by them.

Am Indication OF Ir. LincOln's Policy.

ALBANY, Dec. "a.
Thurlow Weed, in an article in to-night's
Journal, alludes to hisrecent visit to Spring
field, in the following terms
"Since the newspapers have made our
recent visit to Springfield the occasion of
remark. it may not be improper to say that
an interview with Mr.. Lincoln has confirmed
and strengthened our confidence in his fit
ness for the high position he is to occupy;
of his eminent qualifications for the great
trust reposed in him; of his enlightened ap-
precautions of the difficulties and dangers
that surround us; of his desire that the
free states, if anything delinquent, should
fulfil their constitutional duties; of his de-
termination to require from all the States
an enforcement of the laws and obedience to
the Constitution, and finally of his earnest
and inAexible devotion to the principles and
sympathies of Republicanism.

MATTERS IN ST. LoUIs,-It is often diff.
cult to arrive at accurate knowledge of the
business affairs OF city from the newspa-
pers, as they. like the rest of the world are
often disposed to put the best face on every
thing that goes abroad in relation to mat
tiers where local pride might be Effected
1t is for this reason that we publish the fol-
lowing extract from private letter of a
gentleman of st. Paul, who is spending the
winter in st. Louis. He is we'll known to
all our business men, and his statement
will be relied on by all who have the pleas
ure of his acquaintance:
Mr.. P. wrote to me of hard times in st. Paul,
but o ye Gods, if ever St. Paul saw or expe'
rienced such squally times as the natives OF this
city are enjoying. it was before the white man
laid a brick in her limits. have seen dull
times in St. Paul admit-hard times too-but
neuer such distressing disheartening times as
are being felt here. 1t enters into every de-
partment of business, to every circle, even to
the domestic from the palace.like residence of
the wealthy nabob, to the miserable howell Of
the poor and destitute; and were it not for the
extreme cheapness of provisions, and the gen.
erosity of the benevolent associations, hun
dreds would starve to death, even in this land
of plenty. In the financial circles, there are
panics heretofore unknown, and unprecedented
in the history of the Great West. To-day,
bankers are offering eight and nine per cent.
for Eastern exchange and can not get it; they
are selling very small lots to customers at from
nine to ten per cent. Can, or did ever st. Paul
beat this. Illinois and Wisconsin currency is
no go, while Missouri currency is being dis
counted at from eight to ten per ceut., and few
sales at that. The city and country banks have
all suspended specie payments; the streets
look deserted; the river is too low for any
sized boats to run; railroads ask enormous
rates for freight-payable in gold-and thus it
goes. Heavy orders come in from the South
for grain, but as there is no money accompa.
nying the'orders, they are, of. course, not filled,
on account of the menaces and threats made
against Missouri for refusing to secede.

At the banquet of the New England
Society last evening, Senator Seward made
speech which occupied three~quarters of
an hour in delivery, in which he discussed
in style, half amusing, half serious, the
question of secession. He counseled mild,
quiet, fraternal forbearance, and predicted,
as the secession feeling had been growing
weaker ever since the 9th of November last,
so that within sixty days more the whole
trouble will have passed.

THE FAtR-A MISTAKE CORRECTED.


NHw ORLEANS. March 20, 1850.
Mn. Enron when ut the Fair grounds,
I listened very sttentively TO the address
of Col. VIM. II. Sparks, and was glad 10
listen to a well-spoken and sensible dis
course. then thought, indeed, that the
Colonel made decided impression on
his hearers, by giving them practical
illustration Of the progress of agriculture
aud the important developments Of the
mechanical aud useful arts. So for, | say,
the Colonel made n decided impression on
the minds of his hearers. But then, Mr..
Editor, on my return home, pofused the
address in print, aud what did ! find
The following language from Col Sparks
mouth "To-day -" he said, t. We ipaugu-
rate the first industrial Fair for Louisi
aua. May be permitted, in the name
Of those who surround me here etc,
etc. This little mistake of the Colonel's
speech spoils the broth. hope the COLO
mel will allow me, most respectfully, TO
correct this mistake.
The first Agricultural aud industrial
Fairs were held in the Garrison, at Baton
Repge, in lsIi. '42, ~ and a.
The printed report Of the Fair Of ls4s,
is now in my possession, and although 1t
ia seventeen years ago. think IL can well
bo compared with the one that has just
passed.
II Is true, hope the last exhibition has
laid the corner stone for tho future, but
the FIRST foundation was laid rs mentioned
in the above. This has not been written
for parade or vanity, but for tho purpose
ofinforming those who do not know better.
