New Years day broke in upon ms this morning,

from The chambers Of the east, with his shining
morning face. bids joyous welcome to the ne born

Is now adorned in robes Of purest white fashioned

merry chime, inviting our christian community to
s'gnaze the first day Of 1854, by acts OF plety and

The Maryland Legislature will meet on wednes
DAY next, and as the new constitution limits the du-
ration of the session to the 10th of March following
they will have but short period in which to djspose
OF the many important questions which will neces
sanIy come up for consideration. Considering that
.h ne Legsiat9re meets now but once in two years,
the time Is by far too short to wisely mature the
vious projects ofegislation which the interests of
the state at this particular time demand First in
importance with many of our citizens is the Maine
VI"Ssa.'u' Aiic ucicsdtlOn from this civ
pledged to this law, and TO nothing else They hold.
as u were, the balance of power between the Wing
and Democratic parties in the Legislature and by
coaeseln with one or the other, can defeat any
strictly party moveT"ent. They have. as learn d.
termned to defeat the election of any party man to
the senate of the United States unless an assurance
Is first given that Maine Law for Maryland, shall
receive the sanction of the Legislature This propo
si.ion en their part will be made sine qua non. viii
they succeed: As Father Rithie would say, "noas
rcTTons.
Governor Lieon will be naugurated on Wedues-
day, January 18th. As Governor Lowe will leave
the various State Offices filed by Democrats the
embarrassing question will arise, shall the principle
of rotation, as established by Governor Lowe, be
applied by the new Executive?' The outs, how
ever, are olamorOus for change and contend that
an the ms came into Once TIE rotation doctrine,
they should go out in obedience to that principle.
the ms, however, have changed their opinion on
ms subject Three years ago they thought rotation
the true Jackson doctrine, they don't think So
quite natural But tins is family matter, in which
the Democrats are alone concerned. presume they
will settle the vexed question without the sage adj
vice of an outsider, like myself. 10.
