The Baltimore Argus" in a violent assault up
on Mr.. JOIN p. KENNEDY, the justly popular Whis
candidate o represent that district in Congress
brings Charge against him, upon the effect o
which il seems very much to rely, but which, i
true, does him nothing but honor, and is enough
itself TO impress most favorably the minds of al
who properly sensible of the respect that is due
to itself from such body as the House of Dele
gates of Maryland, which, it will be recollect
ed, Mr.. X. was at its last session the presiding
officer.


From the statement of the ARGUS" itappears
that, on the day after the passage by the House OF
Delegates Of certain resolutions disapprovng of the
conduct of the Administration in gettingthe coun-
try into this thankless with Mexico,a delegate
from one of the upper counties moved tie adoption
by the House of the following order:


Ordered, That this House obtain the Ginion of the
Mexican Government whether the resolutions which passed
this body yesterday sufficiently favorable and satisfactory
to that Government"


The offence of Mr. KENNEDY is, that when this
proposition was made, he, Speaker of he House,
refused to entertain it, In the language q the COM
mentator, /" What did Mr.. KENNEDY do Did he
take the vote of the House upon it Not so |!
What then I! Why, he usurped the power to de-
clare that it could not be entertained, because it
: was an insult to the members and an idignity to
: the House -


In this decision undoubtedly Mr.. KINNEDY did
no more than yindicate the dignity OF the body
which had elected him to sustain that dignity; fail
ing in which duty he would not have been true
either to himself or to the trust reposed in him
For such conduct his constituents ought the more
to cherish and sustain him.
