munication, and prevent us from noticing
the remarks Of f. j. HALL, Esq, a ne
glect he, no doubt, would feel.
The substance Of his remarks may be
thus briefly stated; He opposed an extra
session Of the Legislature because he be-
leved the members of tho present one
incompetent for devising means of secu-
rity against dangers; and he assigned
as reason of their incompetency that
they are not fresh from the people, being
elected more than twelve months AFRO.
We scout the idea, and will do Mr.. Hall
the justice to say, that he himself has
no faith in such an assertion; for whilst
he contended the present Legislature
would be incompetent for the reason
given above, he, in the next sentence,
thought tho Governor was fully able to
meet properly every difficulty that does
or may exist Now, is the Governor
FRESH from the people, being elected by
the Plug Lgites two years anterior to the
election of tue present Legislature =? Nay,
is he from the majority Of the people at
all? How then can the fact that the
present Legislature arc not q fresh" from
the people, incapacitatc them for dcvising
means Of security for tho State, and not
render tho Governor unfit for the same
task when he is net so = fresh from the
people BY two years? This is a strange
way of reasoning, and in view Of it we
would advise Mr.. Hall to publish work,
whose title, we suggest, shall be, " 4
Noud Method Of Argumcat or Reasoning
Nude Easy for Party Purposes
We dcsist further remarks upon such
fanfaronade would only cucumber the
valuable columns of the Sentinel" An
Che speeches in opposition to Mr.. Bouic's
substitute were based on the superstition
that its advocates are sccessionists, in the
sense that Maryland should withdraw i'm
mediatcly from the Union. This is not
the fact. They desire Maryland to take
y stand-to make a formal demand Of the
North to redress her grievances and
they believe this can be accomplished only
by an extra session of tho Legislature.
Hence, we say that these speeches,
founded upon false supposition, were a
series Of unmeaning words and injurious
sophistrics. Neither party spirit, nor
unkind feeling, has prompted these COM
mcnts. we have only assumed the right
OF the humblest citizen, that of remark
ing upon public speeches. More than
this, we have felt it duty to speak out
and denounce every public action which
we deem injurious, destructive to the in
terest Of Maryland, and to enter our pro-
test against the proceedings Of the meet
ing, held on the LIST Of January, being
regarded as the action Of the majority Of
the people in Montgomery county.

er how to protect themselves from the
common danger coming upon them. l

He replied, that he concured with me,

vited Inc to come to the Court House be-
fore the hour of meeting, as he wished
to confer with me. ! promised to meet
him, if my professional engagements
would permit. 1t so occurred | did not
get leisure to meet him, until about the
time the meeting was organized, and then
| had no opportunity of private conference

Now, can it be true that, at that

caucus Of which he was member, as to
tae course he should pursue in that meet
ing, about TO be held, without distinction

my political friends.
A friend has informed me, that | an

tertained such thought; and whoeye
brings the charge, or repeats it, utters al
unqualified falsehood Any Marylande
who would vote for Lincoln, or any othe
Republican, does an act which, in my
judgment, is morally treason against thu
State, and dishonors her Institutions. -
Any Marylander who would say, he
would vote for candidate holding sucl
political views, is unwise, and the public
confidence may well be shaken in his pa
triotism and his devotion to tho best in

Ex-senator pickinson on Coercion,


The Hon Daniel S. Dickinson, Of New
York, at the Tammany Hall eighth of
January celebration, made an eloquent
speech, in the course Of which he said:
"This Union, so bcnellicontly founded,
can only be maintained upon the great
principle Of justice and equality. Can
it be maintained by force Can members
Of the confedcracy be coerced into fideli-
ty? 1t is one thing to enforce the con-
stitution, and maintain the laws; it is
another to coerce a State. Let him who
thinks that n State can be coerced, coerce
the sun to shine by legal cnactment.-
Cheers. Cocrec the rains of heaven to
fall on the just and the unjust alike, CO.
cree the stars to tremble, coercc the tides
to ebb and flow, then 90 and coerce free
State into fidelity. Cheers. Our South
ern brethren possess an institution scnsi-
tive as TO property, sensitive socially,
sensitive in every regard whatsoever. 1t
has been warrcd upon; il has been me-
naced until they have been goaded be-
You'd endurance. We arc the stronger
party in America. We possess no such
institution.
1--WE can afford aud the constitution de-
mands Of us, that we extend 10 them the
hand Of kindness, Of fraternity, and fell
lowship, aud that We redress our own
wrong-doing, and place them on the
great principles Of equality where the
constitution placed them. Loud cheers !
That is the way to maintain the Union,
and it cannot be done in any other man
nor or spirit Cheers Let us assure
ourselves, not by figures of speech, not
by rhetoric, to show them that we intend,
whatever may have been our shortcom-
ings before, to uphold the constitution
and the Union in its true spirit Of cquali-
ty. Loud cheers. A yoice--foreyer. !
Certainly forever,
/ am for fighting the good battle Of
the Union, with the constitution for my
sword and the constitution for my shield.
Let the South and the North have one
great battle, but let the question be
which shall elevate the principles Of the
constitution the highest. Let us 60 hand
in hand together, and fight the battles Of
the constitution, but no battles Of blood.

The BROKEN BUCKLE.--You have read in
your own history Of that Nero, who when
an overwhelming force was in full persuit,
and all his followers were urging him to a
more rapid flight, coolly discounted to repair
a flaw Ia his horses harness. While busted
with the buckle the distant cloud swept
down in nearer thunder; but just as the
pranciug hoofs and eager spears were ready
to dash upon him the flaw was mendcd, and
like swooping falcon he vanished from
their view. he broken buckle would have
# him on the field dismounted and inglo-
rious prisoner the timely delay sent him in
SAFETY back to his busting comrads.
There is iu daily lie the same lucSloss
prccpitancy, and the profitable delay. The
man who from his prayerle's awakening boun
ccs into the business OF the day, however good
his talents and great his diligence, is only
gaoping upon steed harnessed with bro
ken buckle, and must rot marvel if in his
hottest hast or loore hazardous leap, he be
LETT ingloliously in the dust and though it
may occasion some delay beforehand, his
neighbor is wiser who sets all in order before

A BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT Life bears US
on like stream Of a mighty river. Oar
boat at fl st glides down the narrow channel
through the playful murmuring of the little
brook and the winding of the grassy bor-

our young heads, the flowers on the brink
seem to offer themselves to our young hands;
We are happy in hope, and grasp eagerly
at the beauties around US; but the
stream hurries on, and still our hands are
empty. Our course in youth and manhood
is along a deeper and wilder flood, amid
objcc's more striking and magnificent. We
are animated at the moving picture of en-
joyment and industry passing around us
are excited at some short-ived disappolnt.
ment. The stream bears US on, and our joys
and griefs are alike left behind us. We
may be ship wrecked, We cannot be delayed
whether rough or smooth, the river hasteos
to his home, till the roar of the ocean is in
our ears, and the tossing Of waves is beneath
our feet, and the land lessons from our eyes,
and the floods are lifted up around us, and
we take our leave of earth and its inhabit.
