our Con federate friends, Maryland wM again

With the most hypocritical assumption,
the writer proceeds on the hypothesis, that
the State is under Lincoln rule" as seccs-
sion is in the habit Of classically phrasng it,
where the people maintain the right of self
government beyond the whitening grasp of its

region of Upper Marlborough, and in the
latitude of Elkton the dtectable title assumed
by them is " Peace Party,') that their only
hope in electng the " Peace ticket this fall
lies in the armed rebels Of the Southern States
making an incurson into Maryland. This is
as undoubtedly true as reasonable We are
told that the success "of States Rights men
in Maryland does not rest in clccioncering
or in appeals to peaceful suffrage, but solely
on the fortunes of war;" Now bear it in
mind that this leading States Rights .jeurna

mask of Peace; but down in Marlborough,
where secession is rampant, and dares' to

of defiant war, and boldly declares that the
only hope Of the Peace party's success this

to march their armies into Maryland, and

prayer is put up that the Southern
rebels may be enabled to march their armies
into Maryland before the November election
and thus secure the success of the Peaee party.
The success of that immaculate party " does
not now rest upon clcctioneering or on APP

the ability of Beauregard to march into
Maryland and drive out or enslave the Union
men.
The ca lis and notices of Primary Meetings
published in this Prince Georges States,

Peace. party organ, are almost in the same
words. The Democrat tips its readers the

require more salving to make them gup
