concessions, said Mr. Wickes, we call
upon the Representatives of the Amori-
can party to encourage this investigation
to give us facilities of an open, bold,
and manly character, and not by the
mere force of numbers not by caucus
resolutions-no from the fear of public
Indignation, strange all inquiry, which
they originated, and which we reluctantly
at that time, assented to. If the minor
ity thought that the people of Maryland
were fairly represented on the floor of
the House, they might perhaps refrain
from urging this investigation; but the
minority do not so thinks they believe
that the public sentiment of the State is
not reflected in thislImse--they believe
that the Democratic party of Maryland
has, by secresy and artifce, deception
and brute force been defeated; and a
representation not rejecting the popular
will, has thereby returned to this body.
1t is, said MIR. Wickes, to expose this
political heresy, and to lay here before
the public gaze, its machinery and its
intrigues-to dissect to its most minute
part this midnight, oath-bound combina-
ton, that the minority have taken up the
challenge; and they now insist that the
committee shall not besmothcred, or the
object of their appointment be defeated.
The Democratic party has nothing to
Lose in this inquiry; their principles are
co-extensiye with our country; where
everer the Constitution goes, wherever
the authority Of our Government extends,
there you will find these principles openly
avowed. Trusting to the intelligence
and virtue of the people, it has no con
cealment, but openly and boldly proclaims
to the world its principles. 1t is not the
first time that the g,eat and only National
Party has met with temporary defeat.
Occasional reverses but perfect its char
acter, cleanse it of impurity, and re-
move the scorie Of party, who shift with
the changes of political warfare for the
plumber and reward of hireliDgs.
Again, is this great party, aiming for
the protection of the cherished institu-
tons of our land-strengthened by the
National men of the country-by those
gallant Wings who can bury past politi-
cal differences, and in the duties of the
patriot lose sight of the prciudices of the
partizan. Again has the time of gegen-
Grafton come, and again are the States
of our Union rolling back the tide Of
intolerance and bigotry which at one time
threatened to overwhelm our land. 1t
is to see if in fact any secret politica
society exists in Maryland, that we call
for all facilities to be extended to this
committee, and urge upon the majority
every inducement to prosecute the in.
quiry, assuring them that we will cor
daily cooperate with them for thai
purpose.

Exemption from Taxation

A petition was presented to the Senate
from citizens of Frederick on the Goth
ult., the object Of which was to have
taxed the property belonging to Churches
and Literary Institutions, aiming par
ticularly at the Catholic Institutions.
Mr.. SEMMEs, the able Senator from Al
legany, not being in his scat at the time
they were presented, had the following
sound reasons ploced upon the journal :
Ordered, That it be entered upon the
journal Oft Senate, that if Mr.. Semmcs,
the Senator from Allcgany had Oeen in
his seat on Tuesday, the 10Th January,
when the petition of Henry Nixdorf, and
other citizens Of Frederick county, was
presented by the Senator from Frederick,
that he would baye moved the following
reasons why said petition should not have
been received by the Senate.
First, Because exemption from taxa
ton is a vested right belonging to the
churches and literary institutions Of our
State, and that therefore it is not within
our constitutional powers to disturb that
right, even though we were sufficiently
barbarous in our tastes to will il.
Secondly, Because by the the dist
Article of our Declaration Of Rights it is
made our duty TO encourage the diffusion
of knowledge and virtue, the promotion.
Of literature, and arts, sciences, &c, and
that the policy Of the State in cxompting
Churches and literary institutions from
taxation as uniformly illustrated by the
past records Of her Legislature, is one Of
those modes Of encouragement, entirely
Just and fair to all competitors, which
cannot degenerate into partialities and is
most universally acceptable and popular
amongst our constituents
Thirdly, That this Body is oath
bound, but only 10 support the Constitu-
ton and therefore it has no fellowship
with, and can give no countenance what
ever to the members Of any order politi-
cal or religious who have placed them
selves under obligations looking 10 the
Acknowledgement directly or indirectly Of
any portion Of our fcllow-citzcns because
Of their difference with US in religious
opinion Or belief
And lastly, Because our own obsor-
yation and experience as well as the
teachings Of all past history, satisfy us,
that the only available remedy for the
religious errors Of opinions Is the policy
Of liberal and enlightened liberation.

LESSONS of good to you, nor with tn
mask of dissemination upon his brow

Of little use to heed them or their efforts

WESTWARD Ho One of the most in
'ercsting sights might have been wit
messed yesterday morning at the railroad
depot There arrived on the Lake Shore
ttaln two pass nger cars of little chill
drel between the ages of five and ten
yearA They numbered about eighty,
and we've broug It from the destitute and
miserable precincts of New York city,
like the Five Points, and had been res
cued from beggary and life of penury
and crime through the efforts of kind and
charitable people, who had gathered them
up, clothed and were now sending them
to the great West, where plenty of bread
ard comfortable homes will be found for
them.
Most Of them were orphans, or children
Of people 50 destitute as TO be unable to
provide for them, and they were now un-
der the care Of gentleman ald three
kind-hearted ladies, exchanging the foul
atmosphere and miserable quarters Of
pent-up aaics and cellars Of New York
for the healthy and bracing air of the
prairies and forests of the West. The
sight of the clean and comfortable clothes
and bright faces of four-score boys and
girls is pleasant scene, but the human
ity which has secured for them a change
which mayresult in yirtuous and useful
lifes excitcs our unqualified admiration.
Mr.. Philips, the snperiiftendents of the
Toledo road gave the party free pas
sage, and they went on to Oberlin last
evening, intending to stop there to re-
cuperate by good nights rest from the
fatigues ola long railroad journey. They
will be placed in families at the West,
and their education and comfort duly
provided for. They will not be exempt
from the usual yicissitudes of the world,
but they will be rescued froia that al
most inevitable certainty Of vagrnncy,
misery, crime and prostitution which arc
50 rife in the poverty stricken sinks Of
the great metropolis. - Cleeelond Plain

THE NATIONS ExrRAvIGANoE.- For
the year ending August 31st, 1865, We
Americans imported from Europe, for
our own heads aud those of our wives
and daughters, 81 ,982 $50 worth of bon.
nets of silk, straw, and leghorn, and Of
hats and caps. Yet how few of the head
pieces one sees give evidence of having
been sent for 5000 miles away, All arc
seemingly homemade. In that same
year, Young and Old America treated
themselves to 1912, $50 worth OF
watches, chronometers and clocks, Of
European make. Their appetite, too for
foreign jewelry was baited with 1914, 120
worth Of the article, upon which without
signing they paid duty of thirty per
cent. OF leather to cover their hands
and their feet, they sent across the ocean
and bought to the time Of So 1909, 500
enough to hide-bind the nation, and sick
en- it in various ways.
