and is looked forward to with the most intense hope
and longing for by the 5000 loyal voters who refused

Federal power and feel themselves safe in their
houses fIoU the harssments and murderous assaults
OF mob re, which s dares to rear its brazen front
In onr midst nnder the glise Of legality.
Tne refux wave of Unionism is honry increasing
n volume and momentum, and only needs the presence
Of the majesty Of the United States in the persons of
their loyal army to sweep the treason Of the hour out
Of existence. To-day the churches were pretty well
aled, and people worshiped with more calmness,
though ndeGnabe apprehensions Of the mob were not
entirely absent. There violent breaking up of
congregations by the madness of Secession insoence

The present police authority Of Baltimore forced
npon an unwilling city, by Legislative revolution.
The provisions Of the act are now to have been
