WASHIN GTON:
MONDAY MORNING, MAY l6, 1883.
The "Premonitory symptom"

The "Premonitory symptom"
The Union took us to task for noticing it,
excu patton of Major DIcKIE from the charge
of having been member Of the Buffalo Con
vention. 1t seems, however, that others be-
sides ourselves were "paltry" enough to ar.
rive at the same deduction, in intimating it 8
premonitory symptom" of opposition to abo-
lition appointments. Our contemporary. the
IntelHgencer, through a correspondent, took the
same view; and now we are further confirmed
by the very able correspondent Of the New
York National Democrat, paper whose or
thodoxy the Union dares not question, standing
as it does on "the broad national principles" Of
General PIERCE. Mark what that straight
forward. nti-Buffalo platform paper says:
" The Unio, of this morning. very much to the
subtraction of its friends, has republished from
the Buffalo Courier an article indicating Major
Dckie, the recently appointed postmaster at Buff.
falo. from a complimentary notice made of him in
the Albany alias. The Atlas, in noticing Major
Dicke's appointment, says he was a member OF
the Buffalo Convention of lS4S. which the Courier
pronounces LIBEL upon that gentleman And
further that be never stood upon the Buffalo plat
form, but has always been a straightforward
working Democrat and that Major Dickie was
not one of those who assisted in defeating General
Cas-. and in electing General Taylor, and thus
disorga niEed the party in your State We are all
gratfed to hear this character of Major Dickie
and thankful that the Union has thus generously
assisted in vindicating him from this charge OF
faithlessness and treason"

The Metropolitan Railroad.
The Baltimore Argus saws:


"While the caphation tax remains upon the
washing ton Branch of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, it seems to of doubtful policy, at least,
to construct another road to take the travel from
our own, and to make that road free one''
These are our neighbours views of policy.
Now hear what he thinks of honesty:
''It would seem to that simple justice de-
msnds from the Legislature the repeal of the cap
itation tax upon the Washington Branch. it hav-
ing been decided by themselves that this tax is
onerous and unjust
at would seem to US" then, that the Argus
assents to the decision of the Legislature that
"this tax is oEerous and unjust" though, in
another part of the article from which we quote,
the sixty thousand dollars the State of Mary
land EFFORTS from the Washington Branch road
(Which is so much off the taxes which must
otherwise be laid upon the people," is highly
esteemed
We wish the State of Maryland to be wise,
polite, honest, and prosperous, and to that end
we desire to see this imposition removed. She
will herself profit more than the amount
named by the enhanced travel that lew fare
will secure, while Washington and Philadel-
phia, and all who travel through them, will hail
with satisfaction and delight the new era Of
liberality and prosperity. 1t is certainly true,
as intimated by the Argus, that if the practice
had been just and wise it would not have been
condemned in the recent instance; and that
being thus condemned, it should not be prac-
ticed in any. Cannot prompt action be In
duced upon the subject2 Maryland owes il
to her fame as we'll as to her success to remove
the incubus from this great thoroughfare.

The Courier DIES Etats- Unis publishes an affida-
Wit sworn to by "a woman over 80 years of age,
named Mary Ann Williams, who says she is the
natural mother of the Rev, Eleazer Williams, the
pretender to Bourbon legitimacy. She states also
that the first ntimation che ever had of his preten-
sions to royal birth was from one William Wood
man, an Oneida Indian, who came to her about
three years ago, and asked her if she would not be
willing to go before a magistrate and swear that
Eleaser was not her son, but was given to her to
bring upI she told him she would do no such thing,
as she knew him to be her SOM that Eleager has
since mentioned to her that some of bis friends
thought he was not an Indian, but descended from
royal parentage; she told him it was such thing
that he was her SOP,

Santa Anna Restraining the Liberty OF the
Press.

The following additional item of news from
Mexico has been received by telegraph from
New Orleans:
"Santa Anna. Immediately on taking the reins
of government, proclaimed new and arbitrary
law in regard to the press, requiring all papers to
be licensed by the government, the proprietors to
deposit large sums as securities, to submit every
article to the examination of government Off
cere before publication and to abstan entirely from
discussing political matters, under severe penal
ties. in case of the infringement of these rules;
which penalties are also applicable to the publica-
ton of matters denomnated subversive, sedtious,
libsllous. immoral. or caumnious. In consequence
of this Decree several of the most prominent Mex
lean journals, including the Monitor, have been
diacontinued'

which the people Of al sections Of the Union
may freely asd heartily participate.
Thus fAr our fellow-citizeas Of the North
have given more attention TO these convoca-
lions than have those Of tho South and West;
and. as natural consequence, northern seu:i-
meots are more generally expressed therein
than those OF other regions. This, with some,
forms the groundwork Of objections, and lin
tied southern and western representation, from
being the cause, becomes the effect of this state
Of things. We regard this as exceedingly un-
wise, and regret that better counsels do not
prevail. 1t is the duty of all to unite freely in
every scheme and enterprise that is right In
itself, and BY their devotion to it, and by the
energy Of their advocacy of it, to win for their
own homes the influence and consideration from
which indifference and reserve must necessarily
debar them. i5.a
In the North and in the South there are
meetings and conventions called together for
the purpose Of advocating sectional interests,
and they occasionally denounce every thing
regarded as antagonistic and inimical We
shall not denounce such assemblages as either
reasonable or unpatriotic; but, in view of the
blessings conferred by reciprocal protection and
mutual good Offices upon all the States of this
Confederacy, we can heartily regret their re-
currenco, and as earnestly wish for the devo-
ton of all the zeal evinced in such efforts to
projects in the prosecution of which nation
may pathize, and in the success of which a
nation may rejoice. Our only sectional con-
tests should proceed from fair and laudable
competition for success through industrial ef-
forts and business enterprises competition
bringing with it no rancorous feeling of envioua
opposition; but by encouraging spirit of hon.
orable emulation. spreading life, health, and
prosperity wherever its influence should ex-
| tend.
| We have, however, suggestion to submit
in this connexion. To New York, as the place
of these conversations, we have no objection
that would not apply to New Orleans, Louis
Vile, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Charleston, Rich
mond, Norfolk, Washington, Baltimore, Phila-
delpha, or Boston but the spirit of the views
we have expressed calls for the selection alter
nately OF all these cities for such purposes.
To act fairly and consistently in the premises,
We think such step will prove polite and
wise, as tending to produce the national unity
and concert so much desired by every faithful
citizen. Every vestige of suspicion of section
ality would through this means be thrown to
the ground, and effects would soon be wit.
messed that will otherwise prove of slow and
tedious growth. A determination to act thus
will indeed be regarded by the country as
proof far Of sincerity in the declaration it is
so necessary to repeat, that nationalsm and
not sectionalism is the desire of the constituent
membership of all of these institutions.
