further SAID thdt nc was ivy
- much contention in the ranks OF his
dear republican friends. and that he made a.

Of Cancellation. only praying that the sup

EXTENDED to the RENTER OF the trea-

The dear friend Of the secretary having
Tins thrown off load of thanks aud pro-
testat;ons. sat down amidst the signs and
obs of ali beholders, when the son OF the
secretary rose and said, that he hoped the
meeting would have due sense OF the
acrifices thus made by the secretary OF

an opportunity, which he knew they
wanted, to express their gratitude, ne

nimously and Mr.. Randall was appoint

least, in token of the heavy loss the na
lion sustained by reason of the modesty
Of the secretary Of the treasury aforesaid,
We lose no time in communicating this
interesting piece Of information to the
public, as it must undoubtedly have a
serious effect upon the stock market, La
"a few days, the public will see the whole
proceeding in an official form in the 60
yernment paper; butte avoid accidents,
we advise our friends not to make any
bets upon the subject, recollecting what
Mr.. Charles IngersolI said, that he who
spoke in favor of an unanimous support
of certain candidate, in moment after
spoke again for an unanimous opposition
Ito him.
These are the sentiments entertained
Of our democratic cabinet by the better
oart of the democrats themselves what
an awful Picture is here presented to our
view we find our cabinet charged with
the most unparalleled perfdyA corruption
and deceit-represented as laughing cut
right at the most solemn obligatiors, tam
|periug with faith and honor like dice, and
|reeking in the stew of treasury corrup-
|tion. These men, fellow citizens, have
brought you to the very ycstibule of de-
|struction-they have filled the country
with poverty and misery-banished the
circulating medium-dried up the fodn-
Itains OF revenue--exhausted public Gre.
|dit- plunged the nation into war, and dy.
ed the SHOWS of Canada with American
blood. All this they have done--all this
and more--they have seen our sea-ports
)bIockaded by an enemy's fleet, and at
ievery moment threatened with destruc.
ion-they faye seen ali this, u the Capt.
|tol in ashes. Men Of Maryland, these are
the horrors which yon have seen and felt.
You seen the bombs of the enemy ilIumi-
Mating the darkness Of night and heard
those awful explosions, which at every
moment threatened the existence of Bal
have witnessed the blaze Of
their defending rockets, when the exist
ence of the city seemed to be suspended
upon hair. viii you suffer a party to
control the destinies of Mary land, whose
leaders have inflicted such calamity up
IN the stare, party who are nowcxecrat-
ed even BY the democrats themselves !?
This is an important question. Answer
the fir Monday Of October next, b,y|
