VICTORY |!
SecessiOniSin in Maryland is Dead
Long Live the ReDublic!

The enemy is not beaten but annihi-
lated The result of Wednesday in all
parts of the State, as far as heard from
has disappointed all in the majorities she
rolls up for the Union, Mar land is
redeemed, regcncratod and disenthral-
led - Thousands of frcemon have
spoken, and spoken in unmistakable
tones against treason. Their order has
been issued that Maryland shall wheel
into line along side of her loyal sisters,
with her guns in battery and battalions
in the field. She has long enjoyed the
protection Of her sister States till her
people should be heard. Their voice
has been heard proclaiming confusion to
traitors, and hcnceforth she will be found
doing her share of the work for the pres
ervation of the Government, and the per-
petuation Unpopular institutions. When
the newly elected officers are installed
Maryland will not require the Federal
arm to keep the traitors within her Dor
kcrs in check. Those men who have
outraged her fair name and fame under
the t1imsy veil of usurped authority, and
| for whose acts of wholesale treason,
every true Marylander and loyal citizen
has been forced to hang his head and
blush-blush for the infamy and degra-
dation hcaped upon our good old, loyal
Revolutionary State, will be attended to-.
In Cecil {" we have met the enemy
and they are ours With a majority of
nearly 20Oo, the people of this county
the first in the State to raise her voice
against the leprosy of Secession-appcal
proudly to the world, in demonstration
of their early and oft repeated declara-
tions of loyalty to the Govcrnwcnt and
our blood bought institutions.
The battle was fairly fought, and the
lines of distinction broadly and plainly
drawn. On one side for the present
existing form of Government, and on the
other for revolution and the overthrow
of our present system, and the adoption
in its stead of that form or system of
Governmental they could even succeed
in establishing ene,-adopted by the
aristocrats of the Seeded States. That
this was the real issue no one who is
not wilfully blind-provided he was pos
sessed of an ordinary portion of intclli-
gcnce-can deny. Altho' we do not
doubt that numbers whose vote contri-
buted to swell the insignificant numbers
of that Cod forsaken party, were deceived
into voting its secession ballots by the
variety of names it assumed from time to
time, and the variety of lies it put forth,
yet the leaders perfectly understood its
end and aim to be secession; and a reign
Of blood and terror on the peaceful fields
of Maryland. Such an Interpretation
would have been given to the success of
that party Of multitudinous names, by
Jeff. Davis lords who arc with stolen
guns south of the Potomac, awaiting the
election news from their Peaceful brothers
of Maryland. But the same breeze that
watts across the Potomac the victorious
shouts of the Union men in this State,
will bear upon its wings the death knell
of Secession in Maryland.
With the election on Wednesday ter
minated its short but disgraceful career
within our borders. On the 18th of
April it commenced with bloodshcd and
riot in the streets of Baltimore. Since
then 1t has assumed numbcrless names.
The Auti-Coercion party, Reconstruct
tionists Southern Rights Party, Peace
Party, and last of all National Democratic
Party. The last name-as it proved to
5e-that we would have thought of the
rose-water Kidd-glovcd aristocrasy o.
Monument Square choosing. But it al
would not do. The honest masses coulc
not be cheated as body-though num-
of them were, we doubt notify tn,
mere sound Of &C Democratic" Democ
racy and secession can be linked together
never. never, so thought the people.
In another column we give the offcia
vote of the county, and returns of thu
State as far as heard from,
