a LETTER. OF INQUIRY. We have receive d
letter from friend at Princess Ann, with
the following query
Sir Can you inform our people where
the Hon. James A." Stewart is? We have
missed him out of Congress for two months
and would like tokuow his ~herea bouts, &c. :"
In reply to the above. we are informed that
MIR. Stewart has been down South, ever since
he left Westinghouse January last. IFe has
just returned TO his seat again in Congress ia
time 10 witness the ad iournmcnt ofthot body.
Cambridge Herald Of the ID inst.
1t appears that the same question might be
asked Of another James A. Of Maryland,
though holding higher position than Mr..
Stewart. He has been playing mum !"
during the session, though considered one of
the" big guns Of the nation heretofore. -
But what is the use Of big gun. if it is in
firing order only in Zine Of pcace-when as
soon as real " double-tronblc " comes it is
spiked up as tight as a wine bottle.

The Informal Convention.

This assemblage Of individuals who have
the interests of this State so much more at
heart than the great body Of its citizens, and
who have assumed, by the connivance of a
portion Of the late Brcck inridge party, the
direction and control o affairs over the heads
of the people, and the legitimate authorities of
the State, met again, in Baltimore, on the
18th inst, and for The second time performed
the feat said to have been safely executed by
a certain King Of France, who,
"with twice ten thousand men.
Marched up the hill, and then-narchcd down again.
that is, they did, on wednesday last. what
they had before done in February, RESOLVED
to wait little longer"
1t is evident, however, from the reported
proceedings which are too unimportant for
publication, had we space for the purpose,
that the farther continuance of the non action
policy went sorcly against the grain of many
of these usurpers of authority. They would
much have preferred that Virginia had moved
along faster in the Secession car at the heels
os South Carolina. Her dilatory COURSE"
as they term her temperate action. is not
little embarrassing to their schemes, and
hence, what little wrath they had to spare
from Gov. Hicks, and the Union men of the
State they bestowed freely upon "dilatory"
Virginia.
Having committed themselves to the policy
OF following the lead Of Virginia, however.
they had not the hardihood, it SEEMS, to alter
their tactics in that regard: so, in view of
proposition for a Southern Border State Con.
ference now pending IN the Virginia Conven.
ton, which proposition they unau.horizcdIy
assume will meet the decided approval of
Maryland" they appointed committee to
visit the Virginia Convention and inform that
body, that Maryland is still playing second
fiddle to Virginia. Gen. Mitchell, of Charles
Co.. Ex.Gov. Lowe. Of Frederick Co., Judge
Chambers, OF Kent Co, VIM Ii. Norris, and
DR.. |. Hanson Thomas, of Baltimore, and
Hon. j. ID. Jones, of Somerset Co., constitute
the committee, which is to convey the tldirgs
of Maryland's dependency upon Virginia to
the Richmond Convention, and Judging from
the material Of which the committee is main.
" made up) to hurry matters along in yir.
gina.
What the exact nature of their mission
is, however, and by what authority they will
assume to speak for Maryland before the
Virginia Convention, remains to be seen.
The Convention farce is to be re enacted
when the President sees proper to call the
asurpcrs together again: Present indications,
and the evident awakening of Judge Cham.
bers to sense of their design, lead US to
hope that the Conventions goose is abou,
cooked.

fridays papers confirm the rumor (r:fe

Whether this determination of the Admins.
