not been so much as suspision, much
less an accusation uttered against fed

nation to the enemy. On the contra
ry, wherever the enemy appeared,'
though resolutely opposed to the war,
they buckled on their armoar, and tmn-
cd o,it with alacri,y. Look at the other
side OF the picture. Jacob Gibson, the
idol ofdemocracy on the Eastern Shore,
sought out the Admiral, spent two days,
or more, on board his ship, made terms
with him, got protection fer his prop.
erty, and was paid in cash and bills on
England for provisions. Capt. White,
certainly the most prominent and dis
tinguished hatrios in Baltimore when
the war commenced there, has sold
himself for 5 4 a day, to the Admiral,
to pilot the feet. Several other demo.
cratic pilots have been recognized on
board the feet. Add TO these instances
of democratic virtue and love OF coun.

Aaron Donaldson Giving in Ba'imore)

not GO out of the way to find tories and
traitors. Nor can it be doubted that
