Baltimore Politics.

We do not profess to understand The politics
to them in any other sense. than as regards
their bearing upon tho Union party of the
State. With their domestic controversies,
and their contests for the Maycralty, we have
nothing to do. But when in a State Comvcn-
ton of the Unconditional Union party the
twenty-one votes of Baltimore City are cast
solid against such man as. Archibald Stirling
for the important Office of Attorney General,
we conceive we have n right to say somthng
We can inform the wire pulars of Baltimore,
that Mr.. Stirling la, a State reputation, and
that the loyal men Of the counties will not
willingly see him thrust from that stage of
action which he has so much adorned; and
where he has rendered services of such incsti-
mablc value to the great cause. We do not
forget that Mr.. Stirling, us chairman of the
Committee in the Convention on the :, Decla-
ration Of Rights was the author of the jourth
and tcemy.touth articles. Those articles,
from his hand and bearing the impress of his
mind; supported and defended b. him with
surprising eloquencc and ability, are the con-
summation and the seal of our long and CLIO
rious struggle for Emancipation and the Union
The city of Baltimore must be rich indeed in
men of this stamp, if she can afford to throw
over SO uncercmoniously such men rs Stirling
but at this distance we cannot see it. We
remember that she has from time to time
showered her favors upon such /" Union men"
as Henry May, Thos. Alexander, and Reverdy
johnson, and we can all see what has come
of it. Under the new Constitution Baltimore
weighs heavy in the Councils of the State.
We do MT grudge her this influence. She is
entitled to it by her wealth and her popula-
ton, but it imposes upon her certain obi
cations with respect to the rest of the State,
that her leading men will do we'll no. to forget
