The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1861-06-14
BALTIMORE.
FRIDAY, JUNE "A, 1861.

The election yesterday passed off so quietly mat
it would have been impossible for Stranger 10
have imagined that any event OF more thah orui-
nary importance was Transporting; and It's perfect
fairness no man in Baltimore will dispute.
Tbough it was apparent at every hour during the
dav that the authorities were not only disposed,
but were fully able to protect imparaliy the per-
son and rights Of every individual in the COM
munity, desperate efforts were made to secure
the presence of troops in our midst, in the
hope that a riot would ensue, or that,
at all events, the supporters of Messrs.
May and PRESTON would retire from the con-
test. Dispatches were sent to Washington by
some of the reckless and mendacious partsans
among US, to the effect that conflict was raging
hre, and that the UNION men were driven from
the polls and the strength of these false reports
troops were ordered to proceed TO this city. For
tunatey these vile schemes were frustrated, and
the only disturbances which occurred were occa-
stoned by the noisy and threatening demonstra-
tons of the defeated party during the earlier part
of last night TIL result of the election will be
found elsewhere. At this moment we are not in
possession of the full returns from Baltimore coun-
ty. Public interest, however, was mainly centered
upon the issue in the Fourth Congressional Dis
trict, and there Mr.. DAVIS defeat has been more
overwhelming than his most sanguine OPP
ponents venured to anticipate. Although
many of the States Rights men persistently
declined to vote for Mr.. MAY, and though
eight Or ten hundred citizens, of strong Southern
proc ivilies, were known to have been absent from
the district, Mr.. MAY received a majority Of over
two thousand votes. This result by no means in
dicates the strength of the States Rights party
here, but it conclusivey shows that Mr.. DAVIS
and his political views are alike unacceptable to
the people of Baltimore.
The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1861-06-14

The WEEKLY EXCHANGE, which is published this
day, will be found to contain variety of articles
OF unusual interest. The battle of Great Bethel;
the movements and operations of the Federal and
Confederate forces; the foreign news, together
with the usual selection of Editorials from the
Daily, will be found in its columns. AS a record of
current events, carefully made up and judiciously
pruned of all extraneous matter, and also as fur
nishng correct account of the markets up to the
day of publication, the WEEKLY EXCHANGE, at the
low price of One DOLLAR YEAR, commends itself
to the attention OF all who desire a cheap and in
teresting paper.

too. IN exchange for It. The only manufacturers
who would suffer materially by an abolition OF
tariff rates would be those who have been induced,
by the expectation of continued protection, which
has been for so long a cardinal point in the
American policy, to undertake the fabrication OF
costly materials for which they are not prepared,
and those iron masters of Pennsylvania who are
Obliged to confne themselves, from the poor quail
iy of their material, to the manufacture of cheap
pig iron, in which they cannot compete with the
iron makers in Scotland As the question vii
probably be- whether the majority of the North
ern manufactures which have become sel-sup-
porting shall be sustained, or whether those that
require protection shall be developed it is not dl-
fcult to predict that the interests of the majority
will, eventually if not Immediately, prevail. we
must, however, postpone the further consideration
of this subject to another day.
