bonored father Gen. John Eager Howard, Of Rsvo-
Iutonary memory; but If he accepts the nomination Of
this rebel Convention lie will not only dshonor his
own name, but bis venerated fathers also. better
nomination could not have been made however, If a
rebel is to be permitted to be voted for in Maryland
for Governor thereof pledged to secede the STATE Tor
his Own personal unpopuary will be sufficient 70 beat
him, independently Of his being an enemy Oh the
Republic.
The Union men of Baltimore have made Delegate

The rebel papers published in Baltimoreare now
excluded from the mails. The Sun, it is said, mas
submitted to the alternative Of supporting the Govern
ment IN its just against the rebellion Better late
than never but the difficulty with that paper has been
its anmus rather than its utterauees. Dsoyal the
latter were they nothing to the bitterness of Its
animatng spirit. So Satanic was that spirit that
Senator advised Gen. Scott TO read its issues on the
ground that gavethe latest every morning from
hi, meaning the depths Of Secession But in the
last few days is tone is very much altered and We
may hope for the proof Of its repentance by its loyal
works Let it follow in the footsteps Of its late asso-
ciae The Philadelphia Ledger, and it may atone for
its past denluences As to the other rebel concerns
they are given over to ali incurabIe reprcbacy.
Col. William Louis Schley, who served so scceptably
in the Mexican contest has raised regiment for three
years or during tho war, which has been accepted.
1t went into camp today inside Of Lafayette square,
Of the highest points in the northwestern portion
Of The city. /, is made up of fighting Union men, who
are ready TO follow the Stars and Stripes, wherever
they may lead them. This IL the true spirit. The
Coones officers are all men ofpuck and military skill.
lie and his regiment are for the war TO the knne' and
when the enemy IS whipped, they are for peace-not
before.
The Union men Of Maryland are resolved that none
bat citizens Of the United States shall vote at the
coming election. Hundreds and hundreds Of voters
have taken the oath of allegiance to Jefaom in order
To get the interest On their Virginia Tennessee and
North Carolina bonds, which has been in no case paid
except upon taking that oath. Again, Thousands OF
voters are at heart rebels to the United States, and
Thousands Of others openly If they would vote for
Governor they can their disability by taking the
oath Of allegiance prescribed by the late law OF Con-
grcs. which all Union intend TO take, and which
they intend all ohers take before they vote. Where
there Is will there will be found way. So let all
Secessionsts take notice and govern themselves &C
cortkngly.
The letter of Gen. Dix forbidding Mayor Brown to
pay the dsfunct Police any longer Is model Of mill
tsry frmuess and politeness 1t meets with unani-
nous appreciation, with one unimportant exception,
and thai is, h excusing the Mayor for his disloyal
course by treating bis scruples for the State law so
tenderly, but the General could afford to be generous,
even to one who had forfeited all title to generosity.
The escape of Alexander, the companion of the
French lady" from Fort McHenry was due to the
corrupting influences Of the visitors of the State pris
oners; but Col. Morris has shut the gate down upon
al further access to bis wards after this abuse Of priv
ileges which were generously afforded the prisoners
friends and relatives None of the soldiers made any
attempt to get away, was reported to be the case
BY tho by, speaking Of Colonel Morris it will be a
qualification. | am sure, TO his many friends in and
around Newfork 10 know that this energetic aud
faithful officer, after almost half oenturys service,
has been promoted to a full Colonelcy of Artillery.
He has won hs bonors by hard and ongried service,
and the Government if il would avail itself Of one of
tho truest aud most sful officers Of the army, in the
present crss would hasten to place him in the field at
the head of division or corps darmte. Baltimore
has cause to be proud Of him; mean the Unopists Of
Baltimore, for lie it was who bearded Judge Giles so
eiiectualy, when he esssyed to subugate the military
power to Secessionis civil power, in the matter of
the habeas corpus, and it Is to Col Morris that Fort
McHenry has been converted into fortress for the
defense of liberty.
