The reporter of the Baltimore Bee was
here this week, and reported Carroll county
for ]. Morrison Harris. When laughed
at by citizen Of Westminster for such an
erroneous report, he replied that if he
had been reporting for the Gasette he
would have put it differently. We con-
gratulate the Bee upon the reliable %
character of its information.

A looker-on informs us that the Repub-
licans had rather a rueful meeting at Ia
neytcwn, on Saturday night last, though
respectable in point Of numbers. J. Nor
rison Harris spoke, and when a deputation
from Westminster drove up, in three or
four carriages, the meeting left the speaker
standing alone. He afterwards resumed
his speech, but not cheer went up from
the opening to the close, with the excep-
ton Of one man, who attempted it, but
finding no support, gave it up. Mr.. Har-
ris' speech contained nothing remarkable

AS an evidence Of the healthy atmosphere
pervading Westminster, Nd, it may be stated
that a young lady who has recently spent six
weeks in that city, returns TO Baltimore
twenty pounds heavier than when she left---
an average gain Of two pounds per week.
Westminster Is one Of the best and most
convenient summer resorts in Maryland.
It is but an hours ride from Baltimore /;
board is cheap mail facilities unsurpassed;
society agreeable; there is no malaria, and
there are no mosquitoes, an annoyance
which none Of the watering places Is free
from. Il would be well if all invalids in
this State. especially those in the city or
residing in the lowlands OF along the water
courses, should resort % Westminster to
enjoy It's insigorating mountain air. Bill
ious diseases, liver disorders, chiIIs and
fsvers, and all malarial complaints find
ready relief hero.

Mr.. Harris and his friends are striving
very earnestly to impress the public mind
with the conviction that he is much
abused man; that he has been most out
rageously treated, and is deserving Of an
unbounded sympathy; and finally that he
Is the legally elected Governor of Mary
land, and should be sent to Congress to
soothe his lacerated heart, because Of its
compulsory absence from the Executive
mansion We too, entertain sympathy for
him, and suggest an occasional careful pc
rusal Of the following resolution, which
was the deliberate Judgment of a majority
Of the Committee on Elections of the 35th
Congress, and which was reported to the
House for its action:
Resolped, Thatitappears to this House that
there was such tumnlt, disorder, riot, intimi-
dation and injustice, in the election Of a
Representative to Congress from the Third
Congressional District Of the State Of Mary
land, on the Sd day Of November last, in con
tempt Of law, and in violation Of the freedom
Of elections, that the said election is void.
The seat from the said district is hereby de-
rlared vacant and the Speaker Of this House
be and he is hereby directed to notify the
Governor Of said State thereof See page
I0s, Congressional Globe, part ist, I'd Session
S5th Congress.
Mr.. Harris may not find the resolution
in itself such delightful reading, but still
il is, to say the least, suggestive. No doubt
he finds great comfort in the subsequent
partisan action Of the House, which post
poned from time to time the consideration
Of the resolution and finally at the I'd Ses-
sion Of the 35th Congress, months after
the resolution had been introduced, laid
it on the table.

card:
We most respectfully desire to call your
attention to the following address "tO the

TO THE PEOPLE OF BALTIMORE.
The undersigned, candidates for political

LIST. Our object is to protect the country
from illegitimate foreign infuenc.
We propose to modify the naturalization
laws so as to insure in the candidate for the
honor an adequate knowledge of our Ian.
guage aud laws; that he shall be imbued
with our American spirit and principles, and
weaned from his foreign sympathies and
prejudices. We earnestly cali upon the PEG.
Pile to be on their guard against those inssidi.
Gus wiles Of foreign influence, against which
Geo. Washington forwarned them. We fear
the influence Of millions of foreign birth
residing in our midst, who cherish their for.
eign sypspathies and hostilities, and in our
midst create disturbing element of past pop.
er which may one day control our elections
and in some delicate crisis decide the fate Of
the republic. We propose to repeal all laws

naturalized emigrants the right Of suffrage.

young wheat more root, and renders it less
