so far as party ascendency concerned is not the

not have it otherwise save in pursuance of the free will of
the people Whatever way it is, we want to see the
question fairly tested between plain Open fair voting
and intimidation and rowdyism. If the thing be only
legally and properly done we care not for the mere tenn
porary defeat Of our party.
We cannot but think that Mayor Swami, in refusing
to allow the Governor to cooperate with him for the
preservation Of the public peace assumed fearful repon
sibity He cannot plead ignorance or want OF warning
Example after example is before him. He knows how
his own assurances of his ability to preserve the peace
have been falsfed He assumes the present response
biltv with his eyes OPEN To-day must tell the weight
of that responsibility and he fails to preserve the peace
of the City and to secure to all the free enjoyment OF
their rights as citizens, the world will hold him to
fearful account for first rejecting the proered cooperation
of the Governor and then manGuvrlng SO as to bring
into contempt and render abortve the precautionary
measures which that functionary acting on his own

Of late some of the Northern papers have been quot
inO the examne of Baltimore as an argument against
society in savehoding ceS-castng it up to the South
as ali ofett to all the awessness of the North Now
this is all wrong. We going to say it was all
mistake but it cannot be that the editors of the leading
papers of the Northern cities have not access to the
census of the United States from which it appears that
Baltimore is a Southern city only in name. In 1850
its aggregate population l69,O54, of which only 2
946 were slaves while there were 25442 free negroes
