The DRMocRATIC Mass MEETING
in an interview on Tuesday last with
Col Dent, the Chairman OF our County
Central Committee, we were informed
by hIm, that since our suggestion for a
County Mass meeting during Court
week was made, he had received let
Ter from Hon. A. P. German, Chairman
of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee, which stated, that mass meet
ing Of The democracy Of ST. Mary's had
been arranged by the State Committee,
the date Of which, however, had not
yet been determined. In view Of this
fact, and the present busy season among
farmers, the Colonel was of opinion
that The County Committee had better
not make any call at present or until
Mr.. German had been communicated
with, which was done we learn, on
Tuesday last. We shall, probably. be
able in our next issue to announce the
day and place OF the proposed mass
meeting, with list ofthe speakers who
wall address 1t. This delay, however,
need not interfere with the proposed
visits to our Town of Gen. Chapman
and our District Elector during Sep
TENDER Court.

Having passed the months Of June and July
AZ a fashionable Summer Resort, and being quite
tired Of dame fsshion and its requirements, J.
with some friends, decided TO pass the remain
der Of the hot season By taking trip to Leon
ardi0wn. Accordingly we arose at daylight
and embarked on Steamer John W. Thompson
in charge OF that most gallant Of Captains, John
r. Wood, Esq. Arriving at our destination
about half after seven, we were met by our
charming friend, the proprietor Of Moore's Hotel
We were then escorted to two most pleasant
communicating rooms in the new part Of the
house, and were soon in the land Of dreams
We, being a party Of merry young ladies from
Washington, and very PARTIAL 10 gentemen's
society, You may decide, in due time, were in
trodueed to q number Of your gallant and hand
some beaux, Of not only Leonardtown, but the
surrounding country, and 70 say the least, were
greatly pleased with them; for how Is IL posi-
Bile for us TO control our hearts in such a place,
though city ladies are always termed heartless,
which is very unjust? THUS time passed on,
and sailing parties, oyster roasis and above all,
the delightful drives we had with some of Mary
lands noblest sons, were beyond doubt the
most enjoyable that could be imagined. All
these, together with the Masquerades, Phantom
parties, Tabieaux aud Charldes at Moore's Ho-
tel conspired TO make your little Town the most
charming OF spots for a Summer sojonrn. And
last, but by no means least, the table was sup
pied with all the delicacies of tine season, could
no. have been better. We, having intended to
pass one week at this most kome-like and pleas
ant place. continued to remain from week 10
week, until one month had elapsed since our ar
rival. Then came the night, all too soon, TO say
farewell and we were obliged 20 bid adieu
to friends and acquaintance, no matter how
near and dear, TO return to our native city. But
how many times since, the one wish has escaped
our liPs,-"0h, could but return to LeonHd-
town. I wilL-not- aaseaPA -sslls fer-f a 80
would prove diificult task. Ny one desire 10
take another trip TO this, vour charming Town,
at no very distant day when the frost has iinged
the glorious green of the forest leaves TO red and
gold.
