STATE AFFAIRS.

FDrIf our city politicians wish to know what sort
of storms are brewing outside the metropolis let them
scan the following from the St. Mary's GozeHe.
THE COUNTIES AND BALTIMORE CITY.-We have no
present means OF knowing what amount OF impor,
tance to attach to the two Legislative Conventions
which recently met in Baltimore to nominate candi
dates to fill certain vacancies in the representation
from that city in the Legislature of the State
Whether these Conventions represented anybody
beyond the nominees and their immediate adhcrents
or represented majority of the registered and quail
flied voters of the legislative districts for which they
undertook to speak, are questions which. with
present means of information, We do not deem it
necessary to discuss. Suffice it, that the nomi-
nees Of these bodies are before the people for cleo
ton without opposition and of the rankest and,
may add of the coarsest radical type Of character
They denounce every body as traitors or rebel SYM
pathizers whose names not to be found in the for
tunate eighth column of the registration books and
are blatant IN opposition to any repeal or modlfca
ton of the registry law. Of course, nobody who is
familiar with the present condition of Baltimore will
undertake to cenSure much less to punish, her for
the acts vaporings of the cunning and unprinc-
pied tricksters who at present assume to represent
her. Nevertheless in order the more speedily to
lican system of government in the State, it would
be good policy, we think, on the part of
those counties which favor repeal of the registry
law ignore all subordinate subjects of dispute for
the present, and combine against Baltimore and her
influence, or rather against those clever political
jockeys who are riding her at will, as if she was
beast of burthen, and they had patent to profit
pleasure themselves at her expense. To the end.
therefore, that the conservative representatives of
the different counties of the State who oppose the
registry law may act harmoniously and intelgently
when they shall be called upon to confront in the
Legislature the Baltimore jockeys and their few
country friends respectfully suggest that early
exchange of views be had between them TO systema-
tie and perfect the combination recommended above.

farm situated near this town, containing 50 acres for
