They had uttered their protest through III

Administration shall dare to bring its Black
Republican cohorts to the banks of the Sus-

banks nf the Susquehanna to forbid the pas
sage of these invaders" Renewed applause
Here the purpose is stated in terms not t"
be misunderstood. that these gentlemen do
no, intend to submit to the administration Of
Mr.. Lincoln. Every body knows that Mary
land did all she could to defeat Mr.. Lncolu's
election, so also did her patriotic sons make
n gallant stand against the equally sectional
candidate Breckenridge. and yet no secured
her electoral vote by the artful deception
played upon our people, and yet had he been
elected, all opposed to him would have sub
mitted to his administration, ms they have
done in times past to men WHOSE political
faith and governmental! policy they believed
to be detrimental to their interests. The brag-
adocia style Of Mr.. McLiane is not in keeping
with genuine courage-it is apt to falter in
the day Of triul. Drag dog, is a good dog,
but hold fast is better" Maryland has no
disposition to Fl hit her brethren either North
or South. We are for peace, and therefore
wo insist on maintaining our position in tact.
We want no conventions to illuminate such
inhamstory and exciting speeches, as such
men as Mr.. McLane may see proper to her
aid before the people. We think that one OF
the best things that has resulted from the
Govcrnoss refusal to call the Legislature to-
gether, which would doubtless have made
provision for a convention, is the fact that
we have been spared the nflicton, to large
extent, of the insane addresses that character
lied the meeting at tho Institute Hall on Fri
day night last.
After Mr. Norris, came Nr. Wallis. This
gentleman informed the meeting,
when the Convention meets If its 'lecis-
ion agrees with the opinions advanced by Gov.
Hicks it will be our duty to obey. If, how
ever, they agree with you and !. then we will
want him 10 obey. In these respects you are
his equal. 1t may be that Gov. Hicks is wiser
than all the people, especially rs he says that
he has access &c means OF Information thai
other persons have not. Tie reves in mag

South. The question is one which requires
great deiberation. There may be difficulties
to encounter in my way, which may be easily
gotten over in your way; while, again, the

Did it not occur to Mr. Wallace, thas the
! convention to which he refers will be mea-
ger party affair, if it meets at all, and does he
suppose that the people Of this State or Gov.
Hicks viii submit TO it's dictation. Shall the
two or three hundred men in this county who
may sympathiso with these revolutonists,
control the thousands of Alcgany if they
think so they will be woefully Mistaken
