WHAT THE CONVENTION WAS CALLED
FOR The object Of the conspirators in
this Reform Conspiracy, as shown by
their votes, their acts and their declara-
tions, may be summed up briefly as
follows:
list. They want permanent control of
this State, under whatever new organi-
cation of parties that may arise, without
regard to any principle whatever.
ID. They want all the offices in the
State, thus contributing to their perma-
nont power.
3D.. They want all the patronage to be
in the hands of the Executive, who will
be the creature of the Clubs, thus en-
suring the enjoyment of it to them.
4th. They want the control of the Lee
gislature, by increasing the representa-
ton of Baltimore, which will also be
elected by the Clubs, thus securing the
rest of the State at their feet.
9Th They want to disturb the slave
element in the basis of representation,
introducing instead Freesoil one, pla-
cling the smaller and slaveholding coun-
ties at the mercy of the fighting men of
Baltimore,
9th. They want to take from the peo-
Pile the distribution of patronage; for
from them they have no hopes, but from
their Governor a certainty of Office.
It'll They want to strike from the
Constitution the prohibition of the crea.
ton of public debt, thus abolshing tho
greatest check upon their corrupt ant
extravagant legislation.
Sth They want to abolish the presen
Court of Appeals, the insuporable bar
"ier to their attacks upon the Constitu
ton, and to substitute therefor partizar
Judiciary of their own creation, for the
express purpose of defending and con.
cealing their infractions of law and de.
malls of justice.
9th. They thus seek by proceeding
initiated by themselves, unaskcd for by
the people, to place the Executive, tho
Legislative and the Judicial department,
of Government in the hands of the Clubs
to destroy the safeguards of constitutions
liberty to reduce the Government to Tho
pure rule of majority, which majority
shall be represented by them, through
their frauds and murder and outrages OF
the ballot-box, and by this means to per
pctrate their enjoyment of place anC
power for a period, until justice and an
Inhalation come upon them, They vii
not succeed We earnestly believe il
the virtue and integrity Of the people
aud that they will not allow these out
RACES to be pcrpetrated

Our statement Corroborated.


In our issue of the 18th instant We ad-
verted to the circumstance of several
young men from our county, who had
been invited by Mr. GRIFFITH, Inspector
of Tobacco at Warehouse No. 8, to as
sist him in the discharge of the duties
devolying upon him, and who, in the
quiet discharge of those duties, had been
threatened by the "Plug Uglies' of Bal
timore with violence if they remained
in the employ of Mr.. G.; and who, in
consequence Of such threats, had re-
turned to their homes in this county
All the material facts stated by US, we
had heard through third party; and
when we published them, little thought
that it would have caused such hubbub
among the Know-nothings of old Mont
gomery and it seems not only were they
disturbed by the actious of their allies,
as We published them, but even in Balti-
more our notice caused some excitement
and alarm among them, who, if not act
ors in this assault upon the rights and
privileges of the citizens of the counties,
were cognizant of the intended attack
upon those young men, who left Balti-
more on the 4th instant.
In the journal of last week appear
two communications, purporting to come
from Baltimore, which, though couched
in the usual vulgar style belonging only
to those who have passed the several
stages of Know-nothingism, would seem
to demand from US a passing notice; yet,
we do not find in either anything worthy
of our attention, which is not more than
refuted by the letter of Mr.. GEORGE W.
BUnRIss, published in our paper of to-
day, which fully corroborates every ma
tcral fact we stated in our popcr of the
/ 7th instant, and affords another evidence
of the utter recklessness and total dis
regard Of truth Of these Know nothing
scribblers.
We would again call upon the people
the laboring classes of the counties, and
especially of this county-to view this
matter in its proper light. 1t is no
trivial everyday occurrence. Taken in
connection with the expulsion of the en-
ployees of Mr., HAcn. HowEs, of Calvert
county, another Tobacco Inspector APP
pointed by Gov. Hicks, it is we'll caicu-
lated to excite alarm, and make the peo-
pie Of the counties more watchful of THEN
rights and privileges.

E%- On Sunday last two negro men,
belonging to 4. j. DAVIS, Esq, Of this
county, were lodged in our Jail, having
been brought from Westminster, Carroll
county. 1t appears that on Tuesday
night preceding their arrest, they left
their masters plantation, taking with
them horse apiece, and got within two
miles of the Pennsylvania line before
they were apprchendcd. When arrested,
each Of them drew double-barreled pis-
tolls and fred them upon their pursucrs,
but, fortunately, without effect.
We cannot commend too strongly the
conduct of the gentlemen who succeeded
in arresting these negroes; and of r..
L. BoorH, Esq, Mayor of Westminster,
who immediately despatched intelligence
Of their apprehension to Mr.. Davis, who
was then in BaltiRorc city.
