The Constitutional Convention and
tine western Md. Rail Road. -

tnc w cstefn Mu. Nait IkOou.'.=
@ Among .the numerous and weighty
re1sons that have been urged in favor oi
q Convention to reform the Constitution
Of the State, there is one that addresses
itself pecul iarIy to ti,e people of Washing.
ton county in gonc.sf, and to it's business
men in particular. irrespective OF party
which has not been to OLE knowledge com.
Renfcd upon. andtQ ykioh We desire y call
their attention. -,' h.
Pho completion Of the Western Mary
land Rail Road to this point, is an Object
in which our people arc deeply interested
and to the accomplishment Of this desira-
BILE end. slarge amount Of money has
been subscribed. both by the county and
by private individuals. "....
It is well knoyn that Mayor Chapman
of BALTIMORE. who is also President of the
Western Maryland Rail Road. sits like .
heavy incubus upon the hopes and pros
poets entertained by the, friends Of the
road. of its early and successful completion
The tricky and 6eeeitful course o
policy pHrsued by that fnnctisnary has
been such as TO convince all who were no.
particularly interested in maintaining the
contrary, shat Mayor Chapman while pro.
Tossing flo be sardently in favor of the
earliest possible completion of this impor-
tant road, was in reality only actuated by
q desire to put money ip his gym pocket
and That the power which belonged to
him as Mayor Of Baltimore city, Of Sc.
lccting ut the earliest practicable time a
suitable location for the road, would be
used only for his private pccuniary ad-
vantage.
Tn ese convictions have SO impressed
themselves upon our people. that tho COM
missioners of Washington county very
properly refused fow months ago to pay
The county subscription to the road. until
it hsd bean completed to the borders oi
the county.
We had hoped that the Legislature
which has just adjourn d would have
passed the bill ordering new Municipal
election in Baltimore city, but from some
unaccountable bungling or hocus poous-
sing which weedo not pretend to under
stand. they failsd to do 80. l'.
Had such bill been passed, Mayor
Chapman. who represents hardly one sixth
Of the citizens of Baltimore. would have
been oustcd of the seat which he now
holds, and better and more honest man
put in his place. who we trus. would not
have used the influence which he possess
sod as Mayor, ip locating the road. solely
with Fiew to his own pscuniapy advap-
tage. ,...
As long as Mayor Chapman continues
iu Office we confess to many misgivings in
relation to the completion of the Western
Maryland Rail Road; aud the ONLY possi-
Bile way to get him out of office now, is by
the asscmbiage Of Constitutional Con-
vention. which would have the power and
We doubt net also the will to relieve the
people Of Baltimore from the illegal aud
ridiculous mockery of City government.
under which they have been suffering,
and which would at the same time infuse
new life and energy in the friends Of the
Western Maryland Raj! Road in this
county.

Ne~ The Herald of this week contains, as We
believe, a useless, wanton and mischievous as
sault upon that old and favorite institution of
our county, the Mutual Insurance COMPANY
We venture tn o conjecture that something more
than consideration of the interests of the racm-
bers of the Company, engendcred the malice and
the venom which prompted the article in qnes-
tion. From the known habit of the senior Ed:
tor ofthat paper of prostiuting its columns 20 the
ignoble purpose of indulging his personal and
private spite and malignity, against those whose
course of action may have rum counter to his
will and wishes. we rather suspect that ger teman
has met with some disappointment at the bands
of the company.
But we have neither time nor space this week
for an extended notice OF this malicious rigmarole
of the HrdH, even if one be necessary to vindi-
cate the character ofthe company from the spite
fu aspersons of Peter Eegley. we rather sus-
pect the Company will survive all his attacks
in this community, without any assistance at
our hands. We will therefore conten nt..ourself
simply with saying, that the gentlemen who
compose the Board of Directors of the company
are all business men or our community, of in
telligcnce. .rcspcetability worth and honesty who
haye controlled Its affairs fora number of years;
and lin this, the community have q !guaranty,
Nr. Negley to the contrary, that its affairs have
leen well wisely, honestly and equitaby ad-
u:instred: indeed There could be no inducement
uPoh she pirt VI lhc Doaru, all OF whoin have the
s' ME and only the same personal interest in the
company as its other members and serve il
gratuitously, to sgministcr it otherwise.
And.in regard ttl ihe legal questions involved.
suffice it to say, there is in the Board as much
legal lore and acumcn, as ever entered into tue
head, or could be cramned into the head of Mr..
Aegey; ana in this those interested have the as
suraHce that the assessment made is fair, just and
legal, according to the provision of the charter
which W
made. In conclusion, we must say, we regre,
the violent attack of the Herald; because W be-
lieve it to be not only unjnstiGable and mali
cious but mischievous and useless And we
dismiss the Herald article, with the suggestion,
and we tkink it n wise one, to the members of
the company, to treat Mr.. Negleys lucubrations
with the contempt which its ignoblc motive and
design only deserve. Such course will save
them trouble and promote those interests involv.
ed in the company.
