The Conference Convention

The adjourned session of the State Confer
ence Convention, which met in Baltimore city,
on the 18th instant, continued its session on
the 18th instant, when it brought1ts labors to
close. We have not the space to publish the
proceed Jugs in full, bnt viii content ourselves
this week, in oaly noticing the result of its
conference.
The convention adhered to the views which
influenced lat its former meeting, and has
adjourned again without adopting any posi-
ton materially altering its first purpose, it
has determined to await the action of Virginia
A committee Of well known and influential
gentlemen was also appointed to wait upon the
Virginia Convention and urge that body to
recommend Border State Convention The
moderation and wisdom ofthe course pursued
by the Conference Convention will, we are
sure, be heartily commended by the people of
the State. While it has given ample evidence
Of its determination to make firm and earn
eat stand against the aggressive principles and
policy of the Republican party, it has shown
that it is equally resolved not to countenance
any precipitate movement which would be
likely to cause excitement here and at the same
time be unproductiye of any good results
Its members have proved that they were emil
nently worthy of the confidence reposed in
them by their constituents; and they have, by
their proceedings, forever set at rest the SLAM
ders of those who have SO constantly mpeach-
ed their motives and misrepresented their pur-
poses.
Perhaps Maryland may yet share in the
honor ofcontributing her voice and counsel
to restoration Of the great American Repub-
lie, and cause the blush Of shame to mantle
the cheek of some of her citizens who have
with loud professions of patriotism and a
never ceasing cry of :" Union" opposed every
effort. calculated to awaken the Northern mind
TO reality of the dangers, and unite the
Southern chvalrY in the cause Of the consti-
tutional rights of the slave-holding States.
The Union is now dissolved, let US labor for
its reconstruction.

THE CANAL-The navigation of this great
work which was opened on the 8th instant,
has been resumed under more favorable au-
spices (says the Cumberland Alleganian) than
have ever heretofore occurred since its COM
pletion.
The whole line from Cumberland to George
town is in as thorough state Of repair as
could reasonably be expected, considering
the disad vantages under which the Company
has labored and contrasts very fayorably
with the condition of the work at the open
log of navigation in former seasons.
The officers of the Company have prosecut-
ed the repairs to the work during the last fall
and winter with great vigor and energy,
which is fully evinced by the completion OF
Dam No. A, the repair Of a trunk or culvert
below Dam No A, in which was laid from
500 to 1000 perches Of stone, and the rebuild
ing of lock q, near Georgetown, together
Win gepsfal repair of the ernbankments
eloag the vbolo line
A new era seems 70 Sc dawning upon this
hitherto unfortunate work, and we have nc
doubt that everybody interested in the pro
sperity of the canal may expect with conf
dence brisk time during the coming season
of navigation, and have abundant reason tt
commend the skill and energy which charac
terizes the present management of the work.
We copy the above from the Cumberland
Alleganian and with pleasure add our Wort
of approval OF the direction Of the affairs o.
the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal by the pre-
sent board
The completion Of Lock No. 21 carly las
week, reflects great credit upon Superintend
cnt Gro. W. SPATEs, who, with commcndabl
perseverance end zeal, abored inecssantly fo
the accomplishment Of SO importantan object
we are pleased that his exeFti9ns have beer
properly appreciated by the Directors wh'

vots-of thanks for his iideyy, an awar lee

work for week prior to its completion an
by his presence and advice contributed muel
to its speedy and successful completion, h
gave orders for an increase Of the number o
