MARYLAND IN THE FIELD.

10 The Free Democracy Of Mdryldnd.
The Central Corresponding Committee, to
whom the matter was referred present the fol-
lowing electoral ticket for the SURFACES of the
friends OF the great, paramount doctrines of
Free Soil, Free Speech, and Free Men" in
Maryland, at the approaching election
FREE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
For President-JoHN P. HALE, of New
Hampshire.
For Vice President-GEoRGE w. JULIAN. of
Indiana.
Electors at LGrge-Joseph f. Snodgrass of
Baltimore city; William Hughes, of Carroll
county.
District Eiectors-William Gunnison, David
Gamble, Darius Thomas, Andrew Graham.
Lloyd ~ Benson, John c. Howard.
Formal tickets will be obtainable in due
time, of each of the electors. Meanwhile il
would be well, perhaps, to remind remote voters
that written copies of the above or cut out of
the papers, will constitute legal ballots. To be
sure of correctness. the Committee would adj
wise that this copy of the ticket be preserved by
each of its friends. There was too much rea
son to fear that the ballots of the Free Sellers
at the last Presidential election, were either
thrown out by Judges opposed to and afraid of
agitation, or enumerated among the scat
terng' votes IN portions of the South even
where all the names of the electors were prop
erly spelled, and the tickets were otherwise in
legal form. How important then, that no
plausible excuse for such a course be given
such g fair and impartial judges" and hence
the necessity OF this timely caution, which the
Committee have felt called upon to give to the
friends OF Free Democratic Principles in Mary
land.
And now that the actual presentation of
full electoral ticket, composed of good men and
true, who have assented to the use of their
names, and are therefore men who are ready
to - face the music and stand the fire has
slenced the prophets of evil, who have pre-
dicted that Free Soil was dead in MARYLAND"
let our friends go to work, heartily and hero
ically! Let the documents be circulated-par-
ticularly the three platforms document It
may be had for a very small expenditure, of
the Secretary of the District Association, Mr.
Gangewer, and affords most important infor
nation. The old parties are AFRAID to exhibit
their tyrannical and odious platforms Let us
do al for them, Let the glorious truths of our
platform, of which we have reason to be proud
rather than to be ashamed, contrast glaringly
with theirs, and the people will not fell to dis
Germ the truth
Courage, friends in old Maryland All is
not lost that is in danger. Liberty expects
every one of us to do our duty! Let her ex-
pectation be not in vain.
Ry order of the Committee.

The Michigan Free Democrat, is a Hale
and Julian paper just commenced at Detroit,
Michigan, 10y 5. A. Baker; corresponding
editors, Theodore Foster, and d. W. c. Leach.
1t is to be issued permanently Our friends in
Michigan have long felt the necessity of having
a State organ and seem determined to sus
tain it
The Jonesvile (Michigan) Telegraph, a
Democratic paper, il greatly dspleased with
the De Leon letter of Gen Pierce though il
supports him for the Presidency. 1t says;
General Pierce has been writing letter to
Mr.. De Leon, formerly editor of the Southern
Press at Washington,) denying certain state,
ments which had been alleged he made in a
speech delivered by him at New Boston. The
allegations published in some of the Democrat
ic papers in New Hampshire) were, that he
slavery, and could nat approve of all the pro-
visions of the Fugitive Slave Law land wha
friend of liberty and human rights can do so ?
He now denies ever having used such language
and on the contrary says he has regarded thu
subject of slavery as too vital and delicate t,
be used as an element Of sectional appeal il
party politics We regret that Gen. Pierc,
should have written any such letter. or utter
ed any such strange sentiments for it show
that he, like some other of our best and mos
deserving men, has the same weakness of toe
much letter writing. The Scott letters killed
dozen of would-be Presidents ut the late
Democratic National Convention, and we have
the example of other times of its running the
prospects of some prominent men of both polit
ical parties. Gen p says he writes the letter
to make q statement of facts, and (perhaps to
let the South know that he il sound on the
subject of slavery Such letter is calculated
to do him more injury than good, and was
wholly uncalled for at this time The time
has gone by for men to advocate any such alb
surd doctrine, that slavery is too delicate and
vital a subject to say anything about
