The Van Buren papers are making "A
great display with their pretended offers
OF large bets in favor of the election Of
their candidates. These offers are un.
doubtedly in almost every instance mere
trickery to deceive the ignorant. The
Cincinnati Gazette informs us that a
Vanite in that city, (concealing his real
name) lately made II public offer to bet
$1,000 that Gen. Harrison would mol re-
ceive the vote of Ohio. The offer was
promptly accepted, but the valorous cham
pion was no where TO be found. Tho
Gazette in turn is authorised to offer
bet Of $1,000 that Harrison miH receive
the vote Of Ohio and asks care there
any Van Buren men in the u. S. who
dare take it up"-[ Salem Register.

from gentleman of excellent judgment now
residing in New Jersey, but for many years
an inhabitant Of Pennsylvania. He is man
of close observation and great discernment,
and as capable of estimating the signs of the
times as any one within our knowledge His
opinion, therefore, is full Of encouragement.

pect Of putting down our friend Martin in

by the proceedings in Southwark-in Cum

Such being the case, we must beat them, but
believe we could beat them united. shall
be much mistaken if we do not give larger

venture to predict"

agreed upon is, am told, highly satisfactory,
and the wings will obtain handsome maiori.

REVOLUTION ATTEMPTED IN
MARYLAND

ANNAPOLlS, monday Sept. 1O, 1886.
This being the day appointed by the Con-
stitution for the meeting Of The College Of
Senatorial Electors, at l2 o'clock NJ. num-
Der appeared in the Senate Chamber, when
on motion, JOSEPH Ii. NICHOLSON. Esq. Clerk
Of the late Senate, was appointed to organize
the meeting. On calling over the list of E.
lectors, fiocnty. .one answered, they being, all
Of them, the Wing members Of the College,
and were qualified in pursuance Of the constl-
tuition and laws. Without adopting any fur
ther proceeding, they remained in session
until about p. NJ. when they took recess
until PM. at which hour they again assem-
blcd; and after remaining in session some
time, with a view Of giving the other Electors
an opportunity to qualify-but none present
ing themselves, adjourned until tomorrow at
10 A. NJ.
You will thus perceive that the Van Burcn
Electors have not qualified for the purpose of
executing the trusts which have been confid-
ed to them. Whether they will continue to
hold themselves aloof from the College re-
mains to be seen. The Wing portion Of the
College consists of men Of undoubtcd firm
ness. integrity and patriotism, and from their
fixedness of purpose the Wings have much
to hope. Calmly resolved, as they are, to
maintain their rights, and the rights of their
constituents, guaranteed by the constitution,
they will fearlessly struggle to uphold the
constitution and laws.
This morning Mr. SELLMAN, of Anne A.
rundel, arrived, hack having been sent for
him. ] am glad that he was enabled to come,
for question much whether his judgment ap-
proves the course now adopted by his party,
although in obedience to his party attachment,
he may silently acquiesce.
Six o'cLocK, P. M.
No Senate yet.-The Wing Electors met
at five and waited till six o'clock, when they
adjourned to meet again tomorrow morning
at nine o'clock.

Nothing done yet-having just heard that
the electors from your city says that he and
his political friends will leave here in the

that ".4n .1ddress to the People of Maryland"

soon as they arrive in Baltimore. In the ad
dress they will recommend convention of
delegates from each county and the city Of
Baltimore, to meet in this city early in De-
cember, to form new constitution and TO set
the present aside.

REvoLUTIoNARY ANARCHY.-lna pre-
ceding column we have given a con-
nected history Of the recent unprece-
dented and disgraceful attempt Of the
Van Buren party, in Maryland, to throw
that whole State into the vortex of revo-
luton and anarchy-proceedings, which
call for the most serious reflection Of the
patriotic Freemcn Of this State. Con-
duct nearly similar, on the part Of the
same faction, might reduce us to situa-
ton altogether as perilous, and on pre-
tences as colorable, as any they have
employed in Maryland. What might
not be said, for instance, Of the inequal-
ity and injustice OF the representation of
some of our country towns, and even Of
our own emporium, in our House Of Re-
prese entatives, and of the intolerable hard
ship of the freehold qualification, as it
now exists hcre-a and what plausible pre-
tences be found for excesses equally re-
volutionaryi We intreat our intelligent
farmers to reflect on this subject, and to
note to what disastrous ends proceedings
rs mischievous as these inevitably must
come. The Newark IN. J. Sentinel,
one Of the ablest Wing journals, after
commenting with proper severity on these
disorg ganizing measures, puts the follow
ing pertinent questions to its readers,
which are well adapted to the meridian
Of Rhode-Island.
"Now we ask, can any refecting man,
of whatever party, hesitate for a moment
in condemning movement fraught with
such consequences as these? Grant, as
is claimed, that the state constitution op-l
crates unequally, have the l9 Electors
taken the proper course to reform h?-I
Their complaint is that the representation
in the Legislature is unequally distrib-
u,ed among the cities and counties ofthe
state, and their ostensible object is to
deprive the small counties Of their con-
equality. Have they taken
the right steps? The mode of amending
the constitution is prescribed by that i'll
strument itself, and "the passing Of an
act for that purpose by two successive
Legislatures is the simple process by
which any amendment may be effected"
With such remedy at hand, is there
any justification for the "rash and reck-I
less course Of revolution? IL revo!u-
ton is to be the consequence Of the con-
stituiional defeat Of every political party
that thinks itself supported bv majority
Of the People, we shall be in continual
state Of revolution, and our republican,
must be held up to the
world as objects OF utter adherence, or,
what is worse, Of withering contempt.
But We do not grant that a majority Of
he people Of Maryland are in favor of
MIR. Van Buren, but believe that the re-
verse has been clearly shewn in an article
rom one of their own papers. is it not
obvious, then, "that the real purpose Of
he disorganizers may be more truly
,tnted in thee words: Rule OR RuIN"
If the principle Of the levolutionisis

Another FALsEHooD NAILED TO THE
COUNTER In some Of the Juckson pa
pers of this State and elsewhere, an i'm,
preston is attempted to be made against
General HARRIsov, by the stale and
worn out invention, that under the elder
Adams, he was an old, black cockade (td-
eraist. We will not say with how much
decency and fitness charge Of this ma
ture proceeds from the chief proprieto,s
and patrons of one Of those papers, pub
lished in this State, or how far such
charge is worthy Of notice; but for the
sake Of truth and fair dealing, and to
stamp this invention at once with the
brand Of falsehood, we quote the follow
ing passage from speech of Judge
BURNET Of Cincinnati, delivered at the
great Harrison meeting in that city,
March 26, 1886. Judge Burnet was
formerly Senator Of the u. S. from the
State Of OhiO-was one of the earliest
settlers Of that State, and in point Of in
tegrity and ability, has no superior in the
Western country.
"In the year 1900, Congress divided
the Northwestern territory, by creating
the territory of Indiana, aud our friend
Gen. Harrison was appointed its first
Governor; but before we look at his
conduct in this important office, suffer
me to notice falschood, relating to this
period Of his life, which his enemies
have recently propagated. In one Of
the resolutions adopted by the Jackson
Convention of Kentucky, they assert
"that he is federaist of the old black
cockade order, in the time of the elder
Adams" A more unfounded falsehood
was never invented. My personal ac-
quaintance with him commenced in l79G,
under the administration of Washington.
The intimacy between us was great, and
that time till he left Cincinnati, l was in
the habit Of arguing and disputing with
him on political subjects. was fede-
raIist-honestly so, from principle, and
adhered to the party TIL it dissolved, and
its elements mingled with other parties
formed on different principles. can
therefore speak on this point with abso-
lutte certainty, and | affirm most solemn
ly, that under the administration Of
Washington and the administration Of
the elder Albums, WILLIAM HENRY HAIR

SILK CULTURE.

A bill has been introduced into the
Legislature for the encouragement of the
culture of silk. II proposed to allow
out of the treasury, for every ten pounds
weight of cocoons Of silk, the produce of silk
worms raised within this commonweali h
The sum of one dollar, and the same pro-
portion for any larger quantity Of cocoons,
to be paid to the owner of the worms. 1t
proposes further bounty Of one dollar for
every pound of merchantable silk recled
and thrown in this Commonwealth, from
cocoons produced from slk.worms raised
in the Commonwealth, and fifty cents fol
every pound of silk reeled without being
thrown.
We are glad to see disposition in the
Legislature to encourage the culture o
silk. The advantages under which it may
be so generally pursued by our agriculture
population, entitle his branch of industry
to every all and impulse which it can con
sistently receive from legislation.
