BALTIMORE, Oct. II, 1861.
The Seeeshers are cbuckling not little over our
small display Of loyalty, in the late Municipal cleo
ton having only thrown some $500 out of q 900,
the total vote Of tie city. The worst Of il is, we are
preclued from the that this is no test OF our
loyalty, lie ause il unimpOrtant election, aud
there was no opposition by our cOurse last April IN
insisting that the 1900 yotet cast for Seces on was
che total strength Of the rebellion Notwithstanding
she Secesh prints protested against this conclusion,
on the GROUND that there was no opposition. But the
truth IT, it il DO test Of the Union sentiment in the
city for was election Of simply the first branch
OF the City Council which has never called out more
than 10, 900 votes. Wait till the Gubenatoria cleo
ton. Then We shall be able to throw nearly 10000
votes unless his Satanic majesty gets into the ballot
bsxes through the fingers Of the Seceshers.
Some days ago William ii. Collins, the lawyer,
Whose excellent refutsIion Of SeeessiODism you
printed Inst Spring made third address TO the peo-
PIE of Maryland and 70 the surprise Of many Of the
loyal men Of Baltimore, be took ground in favor of
National Convention, as the only means Of restoring
the status quo Of the Union. He threw ont the
terms on which be was willing TO see the COnstitu-
ton altered 30 as to meet the demands Of the Rebes

Unity, people who were disposed to pin good deal
Of their political faith to Mr. Conss sleeve, began
20 withdraw it, and few are found now in the Union
party disposed to sing peans in honor Of their old
header save such in heart with the Rebellion.
But what If tell yOu thSt tome Of these blind ad-
snirers of Mr.. Collins going about town and say
ing that Mr.. Lincoln approves of bis scheme, and
that it represents the Presidents ultimate views !!
The tendency TO lying among the Border Slave State
sympaihizeIs with the Rebellion seems 70 be ncur-
bic.
Cannot the Associated Press manage 10 infase into
its Geographic intelligence from Washington little
dignity, little pretensiOn 10 commOn.senEe mode
of announcing the bulletins from q Q seat of war
Surely, the very respectable agent at the Capital
who makes up its budget Of news, might, without
much difficulty, follow in the steps of the French
Boniteur and be as oracuar the occasion requires
without falling into the pserilities which of late
characterize bis efforts. His dispatches Of last Satur
day and Sunday and not only bis but those of all the
New-YOrk press specials" were well calculated to
bring into ridcule and contempt the movements Of
che Grand Army over the Potomac. One would
think, from reading those dispatches, that it was
OILY nccerndIy iOf Jti. DaFls 10 take q plnCn OF
Scotch snuff and sneeze to sartle all Washington and
The Grand Army out Of their proprietes!
The condition Of things on the eastern shore and
the Patuxent peninsular counties in this State is de-
plOrsble. Prosecutions of the Union men are the
order Of the day, especially in ST. Marys, Calvert
and Charles counties. Gen. Sickles has done mnch
good in that quarter, but ii wonh take 10000 men
% bringtbe mad people thereabout TO their senses.
Out OF 300 votes in st. Marys there are MT more
shan 100 Unionists, and they are daily peeled and
seorcbed by the enemies OF the Republic. Many Of
fhe more wealthy class of Rebels have LEFT for Dixie.
Nothing will cure the tendency to violence in those
parts Of the State bnt the speedy washing out of ex
isience Of she Rebel army souih of the Potomac by
Mcclellan. The enemy has large force in Aecomac
and Northampton counties, and he threatens to in.
wade Somerset and Worcester. The Government
sbould lot Gen. Dix Try his hand in dispensing that
force.
Earnest people heresbout are in ecstaeies at the
brilliant exploits Of Braine and Hsrrel, and are
praying that their spirit may become infections.
Sueh deeds serve TO give us hope for the future.
