We had supposed that the adjournment Of the

year or two at least. Such is not the case,
however. The agitation is yet alive upon the
Eastern Shore of Maryland, and the advo-
Gates of the proposed consolidation appear to
be making progress, and adding to the number
of those who are in favor Of it,
There is at present an iron logic at work

in accordance with the higher law of trade
Should these railroads have the effect Of di

afforded be sufficient to induce our merchants
to abandon Baltimore, and to make their pur
