eminent broadside of the blackest treason that
could be coDcOcted, in the form OF report ana
resolutions denunciatOry Of the military steps
taken TO prevent the State from seeding, and
70 keep Baltimore from committing suicide.
And vet the author of this treasonabe paper
and its iudorsers in the Legislature are suffered
&c 20 at large After this fierce demonstration
of disoyalty, or rather open treason, which las
been ordered to be circulated all over the state,
these conspirators against the Federal Govern
mept met in secret and organized themselves
into Peace party-that is, party in favor Of
reconstructing the Union upon the Montgomery
Constitution; or, failing in that OF recognizing
the independence of the rebel States, Maryland,
Delaware, and the District OF Columbia in'
cluded I! They propose to contest the state
elections In October upon these bases, while the
Union party on the other hand, intend to pre-
sent to the people as the only honorable alterna-
tive left for them to accept, to wit, the vigorous
prosecution Of the war until the rebels shall
ever rywhere lay down their arms, submit to the
execution of the Constitution and the laws over
the whole Union restore the stolen property OF
xbe Government. and deliver up their leaders to
suffer the extreme penalty of the offended laws
How the people of Maryland will decide between
these two issues it is hard to predict owing to
the Uoionisin of this State being so deeply im-
pregnated with the virus Of negro-slavery; but
with auch man as +. Thomas, or Mausby, or
Fiery, or Bradford, in the lead for Governor,
and an overwhelming victory for the Federal
arms in the meantime, in Eastern Virginia, the
oountry NAV count, / think, with some degree
of certainty, on the entire success Of the Union
nominations
The faith of the Secessionists in this State, in
the coming Of JEFF. Davis, and in his expulsion
of the Federal power and authority out of Mary
land. s Of immeasurable dimensions. You are
correct in your announcement that he assures
his yiceroy Wallis of his speedy coming into
MARYLAND, the secessionists themselves being au-
thority therefor. They make no secret of it, but
nrs loud in their threatenings of vengeance upon
the Union people the moment their deiverer,
King Davis, sets bis royal foot upon the sacred
soil of the State! The news yesterday of the
driving in of the Federal pekets south of Airing
ton Nights, was relished by the Secessouists as
precious morsel, which they discussed in squads
at the corners of the streets with great gusto,
~ evidence that JEFF. is going to make good his
promise pretty speedily. They are looking with
anxiety to the transit Of the Potomac above and
below Washington, by large bodies of the rebel
army, but the tidings of Federal preparations to
receive the invaders have thrown damper over
their expectations. Union people are hopeful
because they have abiding trust in McClel-
lan's generalsbip, and the undimmed uster of bis
white plume. The brilliant success of Lyon at
Dug Spring. with such enormous odds against
him, has sent up the mercury to the boiling
point in every Union mans heart, and we are
naturally looking to similar achievement in the
widening of the loyal territory southwark of
Washington. We wait with patience for that
hour, knowing that it will come in Gen. Nc.
Clellan's own good time.
The movements of troops to and through this
city are Of intense interest to us Union people,
and hence We hail with delight the proposition of
Gen. Scott to make Baltimore a military depot.
Yesterday evening two Wisconsin regiments left
rs for the seat Of war south of Washington, and
this morning an Indiana regiment went through.
The best evidence have yet seen of our deter
animation to drive the sword up to its hit in the
body Of the audacious rebellion now ravaging the
fair fields Of Virginia, is the transit of the Penn
sylvania park of artillery, consisting Of some
eighty pieces of rihed and other ordnance. of
telling caliber. There is a company Of cavalry
here also, drilling for active service, and we hope
10 see the whole regiment ere many days. 1t
will serve as an important point of attraction for
our young Secession borse-loving gentry.
And now let me correct sundry errors going
the rounds Of the press. By-tbe-by, 1 may say
here, that give Capt. Iyes's fast-sang yatch,
now doing revenue duty in our harbOr
wrong name in my last letter. II is The Hope
and not the America. She is to be assisted,
learn, by another cutter in few days, it being
fhe determination of the Government to break up
hazards. But to my correction Of errors. 1t 10
not true. as reported, that the President ex-
pressed or had any reluctance, in signing the
eonfscatioa bill. Nor is it true, as further re-
ported, that the Government takes any more
care of Gen. Lees estate and house at Arlington
Hghts. than ii does of the property of any other
Rebel in Virginia. Nor is it true, as still fur
they reported, that Gen. McDowes report of
the battle of Manassas has been submitted to
