FROM MARYLAND.
GOV. HICKS BLOWING AGAIN.

r,~up Our Own Correspondent
BALTIMORE, April 12, 1s6l-a. m.
I stepped over to Washington yesterday ana
there I found Gov. Hicks blowing away at
great rate against the policy OF the Ao'ii"'s""
ton in dealing with the Cotton STATES reV'iS'
At Q O'Clock p. m, he was waiting 20 DC ao'h"'
Ted 70 the presence of Mr.. Lincoln, III order 10
r;vs the President lesson in administrative al
fairs, and thinking his design was the most e&-
traordinsry bit of news that found afioat Ill the
metropolis, telegraphed to you the fact, in order
that ycur million of readers might receive shock
of astonshment at the earliest possible moment,
In these sensation times
But, badinage apart, can anything be more alb
surd than this mission Of Gov. Hicks to Wash
fngtoni Nothing but the notion that the Cover.
nor entertains of bis own consequence. An old
friend Of his told me, yesterday, in great conn.,
dence, that he was afraid the Governor had gone
daft. l don't think 20. l think he wants TO
bamhoozle the Administration into appointing
either himself or some of his crOes to office, ana
that il he can't bambeozle the Government into
doing so, be is trying to frighten them into 1t,
by getting up bugaboo stories about rebellion in
Mar, land and Baltimore mobs of his minute-men
Tor preventing Republicans from taking Office.
Now for the 90 mix in the cOcOanut" to use
vulgar but telling expression.
1t seems that one Of the brothers of the mer-
camille house Of the Loneys in this city, who is
warm Bell and Hicks man, received an invita-
lion, INTENDED for his brother, who is hot
Breckite aud vergpg on Secession, rs many
Democrats are everywhere nowadays, to be
present at conyocaton to be held in the Court
House last Thursday night The Iicksite
brother went, and soon found himself in the
midst Of a crowd Of some hundred or so OF the
faithful Breckenridge Democracy. BY and by,
Mr.. WIN. II. Norris entered, wLereupOn Mr..
Ioney is reported to have seeded.
The above is the Governors version Of this
affair, openly revealed by him in the ante-cbam-
Der of the President yesterday. The conclusion
10 which he jumped from these premises w,s,
that this meeting was q nest of conspiratOrs
against the Union, and that they were concotiDg
the secession Of MARYLAND and the seizure of the
capital. And to break up their ccmplOttiDgs, he
was going to advise the President to withdraw
the forces of the United States from all the
Federal forts in Co.tOndOm--in other words to
let rebellion have its way until it should over
throw the Government, and substitute the Mont
gomery machine in it's stead
But was there such meeting at the Custom
House in this city, Yes. What for Simply
20 take measures for establishing q new Demo-
cratic Journal with Mr.. William H. Norris aud
Ar. Thomas Hall for its conductors and editors
as the faithful are not satisfied with either Tie
EIchGnge, OF The Sun, or The Argus. And the
pecessity of having new journal has been ill.,
spired by the wish to carry the State election
noxt Fall This is the sum total of the con-
sPiracy of that terrible cOncaye, at the head Of
which was John Thompson Mason, Collector of
this port
Again. Gov. Hicks is certain that there are
5000 desperadoes in this city, ready to rush
Upon the Capital aud capture it, in spite of Gen.
Scott, if Mr.. Lincoln persists in executing the
rsderai laws a;a holding and protecting seSS r.h,
he uropsrty! All men in buekram, Sir. That
there are men, here az well as 10 New."r1
.sadv 10 side with rebellie5, is rot denied, but
that they are organized is not true. One o.
these Disconnected spirits said yesterday toat
Baltimore was in state of siege, meaning that
Ebe arm of the Federal power was near enough
n b PROSTATE aud crush out any design upon the
liberties of Washington Not only SO. The mass
y of the people are true to the core, and let the
bead of rebellion dare rear itself, whether in the
Breckenridge or Bell camp, and it will quickly
BE- disposed of.
Gov. Hicks may as well subside. He is Played
