Is the brave and good State OF MARYLAND 70
which the Wings throughout the Union have learnt
to look as ever
First in the onset, last in the retreat"
suddenly growing willing to yield up not only the
national struggle for good principles and safe Co.
vernment but even the domestic contest for the
maintenance Of order, law, and right policy in her
own State Government Does MARYLAND, spirit
ed as she is allow herself to think Of giving up, be-
cause the Wing party is outnumbered in Congress
Just now That would i'll agree with her past con-
sancy her ancient pluck-still less would il agree
with her prudence: for precisely noW, when Loco
focoism threatens, with aneunresisted majority in
Congress, to be able to do its own wild will of de-
sruction, and to traffic away, in the swap Of faction
with faction and intrigue with intrigue, every thing
that wise legislation ought to noac,
we repeat, is it thar-we need, in the National Coun-
Gil, every true man that we can get, the utmost
force of the unAnching that muster, to der
fend all that can be saved from the freetrade-tar
men, the Observation-Disclosures, the hardmoney-bank-
men, the pet-bank-subreasury the New Jersey
Staterighs-men, the Dorrmen that do not like anti
Renters, the Calhoun men that do not like Dorrism
but are fond of all the party that encourage IL and
the Northern anti-Texas men that vote for the ex-
elusive Texas candidate.
It is to MARYLAND and MASSACHUSETTS, above
all other States that the States less united and the
States where Though really strongesD Whigism is
for the moment overborne, must turn their eyes.
with the hope, the confdence-so honorable to its
obects-that on their good soil, at least the brave
banner, which has been held aloft through SO many
years Of encouragement and Of disaster, shall still
fly, undiminished Of one single fold Of breadth or
inch of height, until once more, in ls4s, at their
leading signals, the land shall spring to arms, hill
answering to hill, and, flag upon flag rising up into
the air, salute those that were never lowered.
Let MARYLAND and her sister of the East hold
out then, for honor to themselves, for example to
others, like the last Greek strongholds that beat
back the Turk from their walls-hold out until at
last tyranny and folly shall once more accomplish
what sense has failed to effect and up gene
raj instruction Of every thing like good principles
throughout the land. Let MARYLAND and MAssA-
cHusErTs at least continue to do their duty to the
country, fail whoever else may
But let MARYLAND, even more, do her duty to
herself: for she must desert that too if she aban-
dons the other struggle. If she consents to be SUI
pine as to the National contest and interests, she
will be shipwrecked as to her own. Whatever
canse-inertness or division-shall be suffered to
injure the Congressional elections, the same must
endanger the local, the State ones. The WHO who
shall stay away from either, who shall in either
allow himself to be cajoled by the Locofoco devices
for discouraging or distractng those whom they
cannot otherwise beat-that Wing win be doing
much, not merely to put the great National question
of the Tariff entirely into the hands Of Locofocoism
but to deliver his State up more, tied neck and
heels, to have all her interests, her honor, and her
domestic peace dragged in the dirt at the wheels Of
the triumphant of Jacobinism within, that they
may have as strong Government here, as imbecile
one in Maryland.
What the move on which this faction, always
ready to resort to anarchy when prescription and
corruption have failed, now depend for recovering
the rule in Maryland, let her citizens judge else
where, by the following extracts from highly re-
spectacle local journal published in quarter of the
State not remote from us--the Frederick Examiner.
From that paper we copy the following
"THr WHrs PAsrr.-Ws are glad to perceive that the
willy effort Of the Locooco party seduce the Wings from
their fidelity their principles by the clamor for Conven
tional Reform has proved signal failure The Wing par
y of the county firm united and jealous in their patriotic
cause and they will continue to be The object and
tive Of the Locos in starting this Conventional Reform
ment is glarngy apparent that Whig Of ordinary
dscemment, could be msed by it. During the whole six
years that the Lococos had the patronage of the State in
their hands heard agitation about Conventional Re-
FORM and the right Of Revolution the State Gov
enmen The members Of that party possessed the oaves
and fishes and they contened At the late Guberia
toa election, however, the Wings succeeded in eIecng the
Governor of the State and Wings accordingly appointed
TO Office, and forsooth all Of sudden the Lococos
raise the hue and cry against the Constitution Of the State and
seek to tear Il to peces by violent and revolution
airy proceeding and the mpudence of their
ment they gravely ask the Wings to help them carry
their purposes This rather OVERRIDING the thing They
will find on the first "Wednesday of October that they calcu-
late without their host and that the Wing party Of Frederick
s..-y true as steel 20 their principles Then are friends
Of Ld0 ana Order and favor of all proDer reform
and rcfrenehme, but they propose 10 bring Them about
without resort to piolenf measureso -
From the same paper, we take the following still
stronger appeal:
Keep il before the people, that the Locofoco~ Of Fre
rick county, with their candidates their head are advoc.
ing "A REvoLurroSARr CONVENTION"
Keep before the honest and peaceful people Of Frede
rick county that they setting aoa the principles which
