The Baltimore American,

Great dissatisfaction has been expressed
here this week by the subscribers to the
american. on account of its senseless opposi.
ton to the nomination of Hon. ii. Winter
Davis, and the general shutting, half,and-
hal character Of its editorials.
One day its love of the Union is of the
lntensest order; the next it hens and haws,
and stammers, and whines, and makes
itself generally disgusting and ridiculous
Our people fail to see in its synopsis, of what
it considers the necessary qualifications for
Representative in Congress. single require
ment to which Mr.. Davis does not conform,
clearly and fully. Hence they impute the
Ameriean's opposition solely to the personal
malevolence and jealousy Of its proprietors
and the decayed fist families of Baltimore
Of which it is the most worthy organ. They
remember how it failed to condemn, and
rather endorsed, the riot and bloodshed
which disgraced the city on the nineteenth
of April and Cor week afterwards, and that
for this state of affairs lis previous double

measure responsible. Its subsequent denun-
citation of the riot, and semi, advocacy of
Union principles. while furnishing partial
atonemcnt for its former sins, in no way
justilies 1t in its attack upon men who stood
finn in the hour Of its weakness and shame,
nor entities it to speak for those whose loyalty
faltered not, even on the bloody Friday. The
people here think, that if Baltimore wants to
prove to the world that she is really the loyal
city she is now Boosting he, self, she must show
j.! by the election of just such an uncom.
promising Union man as Mr.. Davis. The
election of halfway Union man will only
sink her deeper in the disgraccful position
which the active rebellion of her secessionisls
and the weakness and vacillation of such
semi Unionists as the american have now
placed her.

Raising the Flag on the p. o. De-
pa rtment.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-The event Of to-
day has been the hosting of the Stars and
Stripes over the General Post Office at noon.
A platform was erected to the second st cry Of
the building, over the general en,ixnce. on
which the ceremonies took place. The attcn-
dance Of the people was immense. All Of the
streets in the vicinity were filled with defise
masses. while the windows were occupied in
every direction, wherever glimpse of the
Department could be had. After the per-
rurmance Of the national airs the President
appeared, accompanied, by the members Of
the Cabinet. His presence was the signal for
loud ard prolonged applause.
AT a few minutes past twelve o'clock the
President took hold Of the hslyaIds. and the
beautiful flag lying on the platform commen-
ced to unfold its splendid proportions and to
gracefully ascend the flagstaff: amid the
most unbounded enthusiasm Of those assem-
blcd in the streets below. When the Union"
reached the upper end of the staff there was .
lull in the atmosphere, and the tri.colors
hung llstlessly around the staff. Every eye
was Upon it. from. the President to the hum
blest hoy in the crowd. In less than ten
seconds stiff breeze sprung up, and the
wavy folds OF the stripes heightened out =
distance IF many feet, presenting most
enthusiastic and enlvening scene. The eff, ct
was like an electric shock. The cheers
which rent the air were deafening. For sew
eraI minutes every one gave way to the most
extravagant demonstrations of joy.
The President did not resist the enthusiasm
of the moment, and with hat in hand rushed
to the front of the platform and gave vent 10
his feelings in pointed illustration of the
seen. just Witnessed as compared with the
position Of the STARS and Stripes now
and few months since. Patriotic speeches
were made by several members Of the Cabinet.
