must result in contest between the
North and South---a sectional issue that
has for its settlement this question, and
this question alone.
Let me read you letter, written by
John D. Clyde, President of Pennsyi-
vania State Council. Hear it, Ameri-
cans of Maryland, those of you that feel
the Republicans of the North are play
ing game at war with your dearest in
terest, and let me ask you, are you will
ling to give "aid and comfort" to party
which has been shown to be abolitionists
throughout the entire North. Hear it.
Democrats of Montgomery, and charge
home upon your adversaries that every
vote that is given in Maryland to the
Know-nothing ticket is in effect voting
to sustain the Northern Republicans
and at war with the institutions Of Ma

To ALL TRUE AMERICANS. "A few
straightout Americans, disappearing of
the Union movement, which resulted in
the nomination of David Wilmot for gov
ernor, have issued a call fer an Ameri-
can State Convention at Lancaster on the
3D. of June. There has been no response
to the call, except in one or two counties,
the mass of the Americans deprecating
the movement as one designed to distract
and divide the opposition, and give aid
and comfort to the Democratic anti Amer
lean pro-slavery party. The Americans
of various counties were fully and fairly
represented in the State Convention
their delegates went there in good faith
prepared to abide the result, whatever it
might be; and, casting aside all person
al preferences, the Americans of the
State generally, cordially endorsed the
action of the Convention, and will give
hearty support to the nominees. The
evidence of this may be found in the ac-
ton of the State Council, and most of
the subordinate Councils. Many honest
Americans were misled last year, and
made to play second fiddle" to the De-
mocratic party and their foreign Romish
allies. They will be careful not to make
a similar fatal mistake this year. The
tone and temper of the American press
throughout the State indicate that union
movement is complete and perfect in all
its parts, and that the Americans and
Republicans, occupying the same plat
form, and rallying under the same ban
ner, will present a solid front to the Ro-
mish and slavery battalF pms, and march
onward to certain victory. The right
spirit is abroad, and all attempts to dis
tract and divide the opposition will prove
abortive. JOIN ID. CLyDE.

1t is evident, from this letter, that The
union of Know-nothings and Republi-
cans in Pennsylvania is complete and |
ask you, Maryland Americans, will you
not come over to the Democrats, to Mary
land, and the Union, and, by your dcvo-
ton to your own institutions, enable us
to present an unbrokcn front in favor of
the Constitution and its compromises.
Gentlemen, Lord Baltimore received
his charter for Maryland about 235 years
ago AT that tune the red man roamed
at will over your beautiful forests. All
this country was an uncultivatcd waste.
In 235 years your territory has extended
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the
st. Lawrence to the Rio Grande; your
population has increased from few thou
sands to thirty millions; your commerce
from nothing has reached $500, 900, 900
per annum your shipping whitens every
ocean; while your enterprise and inge-
nuity are felt over the civilized world
and yet, with all this present ability, and
with such glorious future before us, al!
is to be jeopardized, and for what-be-
cause the obligations of the Constitution
have become odious to the North--new
and untried principles are to be snbstitu-
ted for constitutional and tried results,
and sure success sacrificed for an imagi-
nary evil, which the progress of the age
and enlightened philanthropy will at The
proper time act upon. without disturbing
constitutional obligations or individual
rights
Gentlemen, / shall hope that our glo-
rious constitution, the sun Of the Union,
may be able to keep the States revolving
around it, each within its proper sphere,
while to be out Of its influence State
may be regarded as "fallen STAR" or a |
wandering planet, +" whose eccentricities
has been its own destruction, but whose
wanderings may not be able to derange
the general harmony Of the system.
