The CITY OF Baltimore.

The City OF Baltimore.
The people of the Southern States
cannot soon forget Baltimore and her
magnificent charities to the poor and
destitute of the stricken States South
of her, and our pople feel grateful to
her noble women for the er"rgy and
self-sacrifce they display.~ in sue
cessfully carrying out their noble en-
terprise. It was work of benevo-
lence that will long live in the hearts
and affections of the people Of the
South. It has formed new bond of
union and fraternal feeling between
Maryland and her Southern sisters,
which we hope will become stronger
as their people become more init
mately acquainted.
We have before us a COPY IF a
publication-the Baltimore I1-auers'
GazeAe-well filed with advertise
ments, indicating full stock of mer-
chandize in every department in bu-
siness, and suggesting to our minds
the inquiry, why could not Balti-
more, within the boundaries of our
own section, with direct European
connections, with her lines of steam
ers and railways to every seaport,
and almost every important CONNER
cial city of the South, become the
commercial emporium of the South?
With all her advantages, there can be
no reason why her merchants should
not be able to command the larger
portion of the Southern trade and
compete successfully with her larger
rivals, New York, Boston and Phila-
delphla. She is nearer to the South
ern merchant; railroad and steam
boat facilities are abundant for her
and her people; our sympathies and
affections have become strengthened;
and, with thorough organization of
commercial capital in that centre, and
the hearty cooperation of Southern
merchants, Baltimore can become
what she out to be-the great i'm
porting warehouse for the Southern
States.
Let the merchants of Baltimore go
to work in earnest, lay in large stocks
of staple goods and useful articles
adapted to the wants of the Southern
people; let them import all that they
can, so that they can compete with
the importing cities above-named.
For the present, we can do with a
small amount of the wares and mer-
chandize that can usually be found in
Stewart's, Of New York, or Levy's, of
Philadelphia; and we feel confident,
if her merchants present to buyers at
moderate rates, fair stocks of articles
OF prime necessity-food, clothing,
agricultural implements, mechanics
tools and machinery, &C., &c.-they
will shortly be able to check the pro
gress of our merchants Eastward
Let them advertise freely in every
city in the Southern States, and show
that spirit Of liberality for which
they have always been charact =
ized-in short, let them show to tho
Southern trader that they arc in
earnest to secure the business that
has always flowed past them, and
success will crown their efforts.

A EorciSner's Opinion.

A writer in BIach,cooa'S Magazine,
in noticing the political situation in
this country, thus classifes parties:
cat the present stage of the con-
fict, says he, "with the Congress
and the fanatics, philosophers, revo-
lutionists and centralizers of the
North and East on one side, Mr..
johnson, the South, and the conserv-
atives of the North and West upon
the other, it is as impossible as it
would be idle to predict which way
the battle will turn"
The classification is correct, and
his doubts rs to the result of tho
contest now going on between
the radicals and tho friends Of con-
stitutional Government, are natural
enough to n journalist so far distant
from the conflict and the many phases
it may assume. The writer say y
again:
eff Mr.. johnson carries the day,
supported by tho people ut tho No
vcmber elections, the Union is prac-
ticable, and the United States may
become what the great majority Of
the English people, and ali the true
friends of humanity, desire them to
be--happy, respectable, prosperous
and iiaggressive.
The unchecked rule of radicalism
would just place the United States in
the opposite position to that named
above. We have sufficient faith in
the good sense, virtue and patriot
/, ism of the American people to believe
that Mr.. Johnson will carry the
day, and that the country will be
restored to the condition described
by tho writer.
BAD NEWS FROM GEoRGIA.-It is
painful to read the accounts in our
| Georgia exchanges from North Of
Atlanta in regard to the almost entire
failure of the crops in that region, in
consequence of protracted drought.
1t is stated that in many Counties
there had been no rain for several
weeks, and under blazing sun and
the high temperature of the present
summer, the last hope of corn crop
had disappeared. The Rome Courier,
of last week, says: "The drought
continues, with no immediate pros
pect OF abatement. In many places,
the early corn is ruined. Through
this and the adjoining Counties, it
now seems impossible that there will
be half n crop raised The cotton
crop is also obliged to be short, and
apprehensions are now being felt that
it will be almost entirely cnt off,"

Andrew JOhnsOn's Convention.

The Democratic State Central Committee met st
New Orleans on July l2th and appointed the fol-
lowing gentlemen delegates to the Philadelphis
Convention: Gen. Dick Taylor of the late rebel
army, and brother-in-law of JEFF. Davis; Alexander
Bouton, President of the State Secession Conven-
ton; Duncan T. kenner, of the late rebel Con-
gress; Judge E. Abel, who lately decided the Civil
Rights Bill unconstitutional; W. G. c. Clayborne,
President of the First Secession Association of the
State; and Hon. Il. NJ. Spaffer, late rebel Provost
Marshal under Gen. Lowell.
The above named rebels are the class of men who
Will control the Andy Johnson Gray Conserva-
tive Convention, which assembled in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, on yesterday. Without such men as
the Louisiana delegates a Convention in favor of
Andrew Johnson's policy could not be assembled
The Chicago Times, the mostinhuential and largely
circulated johnson paper in Illinois or the West,
SAYS that the number of conservative Republicans
who are going into the johnson movement would
not make procession to an ordinary funeral. The
comparison is appropriate. To companionship with
such traitors have the loyal of East Tennessee
been invited by designing demagogues and hungry
olice-seekeTs. To such the loyal sovereigns OF
Tennessee say in the language of the gallant Gen.
Cooper, take back seats, I win not barter away
the liberties of my country by aiding in putting the
government in your hands"

The JEFF. Davis Anniversary.

Gen. Joseph A. Cooper.

In noticing the speech recently delivered in TINS
CITY by our distinguished fellOw-citizen, General
Cooper, the Nashville Press and Times has the FOL
lowing:
1.-THE gallant General Joe Cooper, OF Knoxville
made bis position very ineligible even to the little
johnson organ Of that place
To man who heard the General it would rather
seem he did. BE said he "did not recognize the
right of contemplate little fellow, in dirty little
by 10 Copperhead sheet to cstechise him and call
in question his sincerity" Said the veteran SOL
der little fellow little e1-Captain OF q Bat
terry who has nersr been under fire" 4 gentleman
sitting by US remarked that las Patterson published
on an average three times per week that he had
fought FOUR years in the Union army, person
not informed of his military career would infer that
be had marvelously escaped the peril OF many SAN
culinary fields We know that Gen. Cooper is in
capable of wilful injustice TO any man. but ne has
misreprosented the soldiery % record Of the Cop
perhead editor. For the in ormation Of the General
we will state the facts, that he may make the
"amerde honorable" and deliver to Patterson the
apology due from one gentleman to another" The
little ex-Captain has been under fire once. On this
occasion he exhibited the white feather" to such
an extent that subordinate officer cursed him; told
him he was id coward, and ordered him tc
&c. out Of the way of his men who would fight.

ste they prevented the election Of United States
Senators The Wings had elected Governor by a
majority OF thirteen thousand, and they had such a
majority in the House to enable them to elect Z.
s. Senators upon joint ballot, and the only way to
defeat the Wings was for the Democratic majority
to bolt, and they did So revolutionary az it was
The boilers were styled the Immortal Thirteen
Here follows their names:
SAMUEL TURNEY, of White county.
J. P. HARDWICK, of Dickson county.

The services" of the Democratic Par
ty to the Country.

Harper's Weekly, in an article directed against
against the pretensions of Democratic orators who
claim for their party the direction of the Gov
eminent, has the following biting enumeration Of
the services" which the Democrats have perform
ed to the nation
What, then, are the services of the Democratic
party for which it should again be intrusted with
the direction of the Government ? The history of
thirty years answers. It's service consists in hav
ing strengthened by every appeal to passion, igno-
rance and cowardice, the only aristocratic class in
the United States, and aristOcracy founded upon
the degradation of labor. Its service consists in
systematic debauchery of the national conscience;
in fierce denial of the fundamental principle of
the Republic-the equality of rights; in attempt
under the forms of law, and by means of blood and
terror to fasten slavery upon Kansas; and when the
people at last aroused to the fearful TRUTH constitu
tionally cast that party from power, its crowning
service consists in rushing to arms, and seeking, By
the most desperate and prolonged struggle to over
throw the Government. The Democratic party,
whose conspiracy against the equality of rights has
been foiled both in the field and at the polls, now
turns to the American people, who have been its
spectators and victims and informs them that it is
the only safe and patriotic and conservative and
coneiliatory and Union loving party in the land.

Fruits Of Presidential Treason.

A letter from very prominent lawyer of Ken
lucky to a high official in New York, states that
sour Court of Appeals will at once denounce every
act of Congress passed since the rebellion began as
unconstitutional, and the Legislature WILL if neces-
sary, by force resent their enforcement. Negroes
are being expelled from this State and thrown upon
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. l know, from long
experience upon the bench, that scarcely verdict
is rendered not prejudced by rebel sympathiGers.-
The judicial Office in the hands of loyal man is
not respected. In the Appellate District man is
running for Judge, aud likely to be elected who is
stumping openly against the Of the
late Congress, and vows to his influence against
Union men, whom he terms traitors"
Ali this is the result of the treason Of Andrew
johnson to the Union party Of the nation.
Thank God we have loyal and brave Congress
who will save the Government and loyal people
from the conspiracy of traitor President. In two
brief years we will have Union man in the Presi-
Dental chair and the little proslavery Gar vii re-
tire to some sequestered spot as Benedict Arnold
did, and pass the remnant OF miserable existence,
despsed and loathed by the betrayed millions of the
Republic.

A COpperhead Dodge.

The Rebel Johnson sympathizers are telling that
the Constitutional Amendments were passed when
there was no quorum. This is not the truth. There
were Sc members within the Hall-two rebels, Mar
tin and Williams, being under arrest and in the door
of COMMITTEES room, WITHIN THE BAR, PASSING
ACROSS THE HALL. When their names were called,
Williams responded, I am prisoner" and refused
to vote, which he had no right to do. Martin re-
sponded when called, II am not present" They
were therefore classed with the elsrsn who voted
against the Amendments, making ID; and with the
two loyal men coming in and recording their votes
by permission of the House, As votes cast for
the Amendments, making all the votes 3d. These
are the facts as the journals show and according to
law aud usage there was lawful quorum on hand.
The Johnson-Rebsls were whipped out, and in their
rage they cry out no quorum Let them rave and
charge-CongreSs will judge of this matter

Trumbull on Johnson.

Hon. LYMAN TEUMBULL, the able II lnois Sena-
ator delivered speech in Chicago, on Wednesday,
the first of August, in which he made a whitening
expose of the treachery and bad faith of Andrew
johnson. Speaking the vetoes the Freedmen'a Bu-
reau bills met with, the Senator said
Both these bills, as you are aware, were met by
an Executive veto. They were bills dras0n up in
harmony ,Cith the message delivered to at the COM
maenceent of the session; bills submitted and read in
manuscript to the President before they ,rere printed
bills sent to him after they printed and against
The provisions Of 9hich he hsped aCord until
after they enacted by both branches Of Congress.
Both these bills then met with veto-not by rea-
son of any particular features in thsm but the veto
WAS against the whole principle of the bill. We
then found that the President of the United States
was false to the pledges of his annual message,
when he said that equal and exact justice should be
meted out to ali men, as he had proved the summer
previous to the pledges he made when he took the
oath of Office saying that the rebels should be i'm
povershed and compelled to take back seats in the
work of reconstruction.
Here is the naked truth, involving the President
in faLsehood, treachery and deceit, and that by
or ave Senator, who will be believed by the eoun-
try, and whose honor and veracity johnson dare
not question.

Kentucky Election,

The great battle is over in Kentucky, and as we
predicted, the rebel Breckenridge Democracy have
triumpbed over the Prentice-J ohnaon Democracy
By majority ranging at from twenty to fifty thou
sand votes Judge Duvall ran as an out and out
rebel, while Gen. Hobson ran as the johnson Dem
ocrat Hobson said before his election in one of
his speeches, that it was "simpy combat bets0ee
the bEne jacket and The grey" Hobson having served
in the Federal army, and Duvall being an original
secessionist. The Radicals few in bers, had no
candidate in the field. Both the Duvall and Hob
son parties send delegates to the Rebel Philadelphia
Convention, and they may there agree to compro-
mise on "My Policy There is no reliable Union
organisation in Kentucky, and there can be but
little sympathy felt for either party There is no
middle ground in this contest, and party compro-
missing great principle deserve defeat. The john
son Conservatives in the Kentucky Legislature, re-
peaed the franchise law and let in $4,000 rebel vo-
ters They have paid them we'll for it And JEFF.
