ONE HUNDRED AND SEVEN OLD-LINE
WINGS OF MARYLAND WHEELING
INTO THE DEMOCRATIC E!-LET-
TER FROM SENATOR PEARCE.
We intimated yesterday that exulta-
ton on the part of know-nothings over
the disgraceful scenes and the disgrace
full result of the municipal election in
Baltimore would be at least premature
that Baltimore was not Maryland and
that the political action of a city con-
trolled, as it undoubtedly was and is, by
armed and organized gangs of rufians
and murderers, could have no other in
fuence over the minds of the intelligent
and patriotic voters of the Union than to
excite deep feeling of adherence and
Indignation which would not and could
not be allayed until the frightful wrongs
and evils complained of were effectually
remedied. The great body of the peo-
pie of Maryland have no sympathy with
the political ruflians and rowdies of Bal
timore. They are eminently conscrva-
tive, national, and tolerant in spirit, and
although in by-gone years they main
tanned an open and honorable opposition
to the democratic party they have ever
shown, in their loyalty to the Union and
in their support of the Constitution, that
party ties and party associations were as
dust in the balance compared to the
honor, welfare and prosperity of the re-
public. The democrats have generally
been the minority party in Maryland. :
The evidence is multiplying that they
are now, and will continue to be, we
trust, for all coming time, the majority
party. In the pending crisis and can
vass, the people of Maryland have to
choose not merely between sectionalisnl
on the one hand und prescription on the
other, but whether they will sustain that
great national party whose triumphs have
been triumphs of the people, the Union
and the Constitution. We believe that
the choice has already been made. We
believe that the noble example of Pearce
and Pratt, and johnson, and Mcmahon,
and the other distinguished leaders of the
old-line wing party of Maryland, will
find hundreds and thousands of patriotic
imitators; and that, frightful as the num-
Der may be of the victims Of know-no-
thing violence in the city of Baltimore,
the people will discharge their duty, and
their whole duty, to their State and coun-
try by rolling up such majority for
Buchanan and Breckenridge as will ef-
fectually prevent a repetition of such
bloody scenes as have brought so much
dishonor and disgrace upon their chief
city,
AS an evidence, and very substantial,
evidence, of the true national feeling
which pervades the public mind of Mary
land, we make room for the following
communication from one hundred and
seoea old-Iine whigs residing in Charles
county, in that State, who have patriot
ically announced their intention to do all
in their power to secure the election of
James Buchanan and John G. Breckin-
ridge.
1.-The undersigned are a portion of
the old-line wings Of Bryantown district,
Charles county, Maryland, who cogni-
zant that crisis has arisen in the affairs
of the country demanding of every good
citizen to rise above party feeling, and
with a patriotic spirit to contemplate the
good of the whole country; and regard
ing the action of the so-called old-line
whig conventions, both State and nation
al, that have assembled in the city of
Baltimore during the present campaign,
as cunning devices of men prepossessed
with know-nothing principles to deceive
and entrap the old-line wings, intend,
for the first time in our lives, to vote
with the democratic party, and to do all
that in our power lies to secure the cleo
ton Of the only national and constitu-
tional candidates, James Buchanan and
John G. Breckenridge.
