In Congress, Henry May and j. p. Kennedy repre-
sent this class. They are men who wish to keep
qnasUnion for the sake Of pleasant dinnerable con-
nection with the wealthy and literary clubs Of the
North but who would resent as an ineacesble blot on
their escutcheon charge Of being in favor of the
Union, as including the possibility Of again having
a" Black Republican President" They superficial
and unttuftworthy men.
Winter Davis is the only instance have heard

has had the courage to break through those lies He
il conceited man and not profound man; but lie
certainly has pluck and patriotism He is descended
from one Of the oldest families Of St. Marys; being in
direct line from old Governor COLONIAL William Stone,
who for his feay liberty was condemned TO death,
and who was only saved by the women Of Annapolis
gathering around him and vowing that he should not
die but they would die with lin. Mr.. Winter Davis
has many relations in Virginia who, of course, hate
him volenty among these was the late Justice Daniel
Of the Supreme Court, and Mr.. John Daniel of The
Rschmond Ezami'.er Of whom l wrote you in my last
communication. AT present Mr.. Davs's frienas aud
relatives in Baltimore vers eagerly and perssenty
trying to recover for him the place in "the circle "
which he has forfeited, by representing that be has
no sympathy whatever for freedom, and was for the
Union only for the purpose OF gradually securing as

Gen. Banks and his companions then should atonce
understand, If they d. not already thar what is known
as the baltimore arntocracy, all in IL and all who hope
to be in it, are utterly and heartily disoya to the Gov
ernment Real exceptions scarce as hens teeth.
They will indeed talk about the Union in magnificent
kind Of way but on pressing tie matter it will be
found to be the Union--with the prescnt President
ousted, and such guarantees will forever exclude
him and any of bis opinions from the White House.
All this, be it understood is statusoi opinion resting
upon the most superficial basis,nat is, il is not upon
any experience Of, direct interest in Slavery. The
Union men, VINO doubtless have a bare majority in
Baltimore, aud very large Que in Maryland, are Of q
class which always has to wait many years before 1t
Can raise an anagonisiic voice an arsocracy. The
great Middle Class the metal in The social blood
tttutes the Union ballast, Baltimore has large ard
we-egulated German population; large and earnest
eass Of plain old Methodiss who oathe the pretensons
which have crept into their church and have for.
gotten or suffered their children to forget that the great
Founder Of their Society," who the Atlantic
and established MethOdism In Baltimore named Slavery
the sam Of all viliaines."
In Washington City the artocracy has ut heart been
hitherto of the kiod with that in Baltimore. But
the political element is strong therenvolving every
dollar that goes into every mans pocket-that Wash

band-whether il DO President Lincons or Mr. Jeffs.
Washington is simply large and somewhat inconve-
nient National Hotel, with good many rats poisoning
its wells. Ii has arisen not by any geographical or
local Decree but by tie need which certain avuncuar
individual known Samuel, has Of pate, oysters, and
champagne; Of prayers and puddngs Of boots polished
daily Of conscience with aims all sponged out every
Sabbath. 1t is not difficult TO say that sfterth waters
in this hotel have found all tho extra avenues of turn
ing extra pennies closed up they will stand before
Uncle S.. hat in hand and smile and sme and obey bis

siderable majority Of Washington residents would this
day regard it glorious vndication Of free govern
ment and planting Of nation on q stable and conser
vatiys basis for j. ID. TO successfully naugura.e his
reign in Washington.
Rcbmcnd may be taken az a type ola very different
state of things. Slavery Is hsre both alpervadng
social condition, and an important portion of trade and
ground Of credit. Richmond knows by experience,
