Mr.. johnson then said he would not witbdr,,,
his motion. -"
A call of the counties was then asked for and con
siderable confusion ensued, members rising and
gong to and fro from one part of the hall TO the
other, creating considerable noise The chairman
by considerable rapping, restored order.
At thls stage ot the proceedings Mr.. Jarrett the
nominee, appeared and returned thanks in few re
marks for the honor which the convention had con-
terred upon him.
The question, on Mr. Johnson's motion was tban
taken by call OF counties. After Anne Arundel had
Deen called and her ryOte recored "nav" Mr. MauIs-
oy Sald the gentleman would withdraw his amend
ment. Mr.. Freaner said he would be constrained
in that case to renew it on the part of WASHINGTON
county lie did not want the convention
held in Baltimore. The counties owed nothing
to Baltimore. She had within the past
nVe years. cast up enormous maiorites achieved
by fraud anC violence. He did not think that Bal
timore would ever be disenthralled; he differed
from the gentleman who addressed the convention
in the morning. He did not care to see another
democratic convention in that God-forsaken cod
cursed, and damned city.
The Hon. Joshua Nansant, of Baltimore CITY I'D
dressing the chair, stated:
That he did not rise for the purnosa or lis,,gf- ,,
question whether the next State Democratic Conyutor
should meet in Frederick i'll Baltimore CITY Thai
was matter immateral to his colleagues or TO binseF
hey had realized since their short sOourn in Frederick
IN attendance on this convention hospitality as mark
Gu as the otty NILS that overlook the city and as
the beautiful valleys that spread over this aqricIl
tural region and he he faithfully represented
me sentiments Of those associated with him as
IVY ron balIlmore clty IN saying that the generous
ana substantial welcome with which they were greeted
mere w make it agreeable visit it on all occasions
tIal H8nt call them hither. But he with much re-
ucance because of his indisposton to occupy the time
OF the convention at this stage oEts proceed nrs-to re
ply to remark which fell from lips Of the gentleman
on his eftrom Washington county in reference to Bait
more. -'
That gentleman observed that the Democracy Of N,-
land owed nothing to the democratic party Of Baltimor
city The gentlem an said Mr. Eansaut has ca,t,ipl,
learned but little of the history of MARYLAND no.s ny
Of the contendng struggles of antagonist parties if he
Supposes that the Democracy Maryland are not inch
ed in the main, to the Monumental City for their State
cratic than city town in the State and that Demo
cracy has sustained fewer defeats than any county in the
state save Baltimore county She has given manrites
IN support OF every democratic President Of the United
States save the present patriotic incumbent and but for
the murderGus efforts of lawless clubs backed by the
meIGehary ana not more worthy police Of the city
would have rolled up for the latter a greater
majority than she had given any of his predecessors
Inc condition OF Baltimore, said MIR. Eansant NAV
truly lamentable and she may deserve all that has been
said in condemnation of her from every quarter But
the sin OF her prostitution lies not the doors Of her
democratic citizens. They have done all that men couId
do in peaceabe way the of affairs , has
Dlackened her once proud and enN led reputation
Democracy strong and asp ure sacrrdly
devoted to the cherished principles their political faith
as they in the days of their prOudest triulnphs
Their hearts as brave and their are as s:r0n as
those of any other of upon whom the light of
Heaven broke. They are law loving and
and will so remain until "forearance shall cease to he n
and theirs has long been full When tat drn ia m f 3
the wrongs which are even quivcring the brm the
inevitable hour will have 1t may be months it may
he days only but there will be further years
mulatng wrongs and outrage, before force will demand
what the authorities have denied and when that hour
arrives the retrbution will be fearful
The gentleman from Washington county not under
stand the condition of III cBatmore question in all
rtmcns, or he would not thus chide her Democracy Tor
not having thrown of the chains which bind them. Let
him reflect that the rowdy and murlerous elements of
Baltimore are organised into Know Nothing cubs-that
these iiends are armed with the most effective deadly
"eao-tha theIr armories OF muskets and rifles are To-
Gated adjacent to the places where eemen should deposit
their voes-hat these stationed ways to the
o ana at the polls to murder those who have the hard
hood to attempt to cast ballot that not bear the
othng mark and these ruianS sustained and
aDetea IN ther hesh work by standing army Of police
some six hundred strong; and having reflected IA.
Will have reason to wonder that gle democratic vote
has been cast in Baltimore for the last three years Tho
municipal arm of Baltimore is feared than the houic
knife Of the vile clubs that nfcst the citv hecaus il
assaults where it should protect and if the Mav0r Of Bal
umore and his merccnary police w0uld thu days OF
election take themselves outside of Baltimore the law
less clubs would be well taken of by the Democracy
of Baltimore, and the inesmable right of the ballot
would he vndicated, and law would reign su
Freme in Baltimore, and Democracy triumph again as IL
has triumphcd.
He was the gentleman made the Objectionable and
somewhat offensive remark without the consent of his
mature Judgment and he begged the gentleman not 10
indulge the idea that Baltimore past redenptons
Skill that her Democracy unworthy advocates of
the cherished principles they espouse.
The discussion was continued for some time and
joined in by sevara members
The motions to amend were then withdrawn.
Bradley T. johnson, Esq, then offered the io-
lowing resolutions:
