Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser. (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1845-1898, 1861-01-17

p0rOn Thursday and Friday both Houses of
the North Carolina Legislature debated the
State Convention question, which has been COM
plicated by mixing the question of the reform
of the State Constitution with Federal matters.
Amendments in favor Of an open and restricted
Convention were offered, but no vote was had,
and the whole matter was postponed few days.
We may expect difficulty in getting the peo-
pie of Maryland to vote for State Convention
unless its objects are fairly understood before
band and its powers restricted to action on the
present crisis in national affairs

l@ South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, and
Mississippi, have already passed Ordinances Of
Secession. They are not in Union. Other
States will soon follow. The work of disinte-
grafton goes on apace. What a result has been

codsideroat - true significance of a "Soycrcign'

codsideroatee true significance of sovereign
Fcnion, and that being contrary to our honest
and CONSCIENTIOUS convictions, Immediately
erased our humble name from the list Of agners
This We claimed to have had positive RICH, to do.
According to our understanding. the powers of :,
Sovereign Convention are to all inten.s and purpo-
ses the powers OF revolution, and which. if not
positively limited, might. in its sovereign capacity
ovcrthro" the existing government Of the State.
and III its place substitute not near 50 congcni-
al to the people OF the smaller and more spar selv
settled counties. This conviction aud
upon this we acted III ctasiny signature. We
may have erred in our conclusion but we wcr,
honest 'sTO err is human"
We would here take occasion to say, that should
a State Convention be recommended to the voters,
whose powers were certainly limited to the ext
gencies growing out of the present national crisis
and for specific objects-to meet these exigencies
al )nc-and devoid of all power to interfere with
the present Constitution and the authorities actinr
under it, E. Wells will cheerfully contribute his
mite of support to such a movement, nor throw
even the shadow of barrier in its way. Born and
reared in Maryland. and all interests being
here within her borders, feel no desire beyond
the welfare of our State and the happiness and
peace of her people And should a call, as have
just said, be made for the people to express their
sentiments on the troubles of the nation we are
firmly in favor of these people being heard at all
hazards and when that voice is heard, we for one
are ready to obey the behest. But, with our undtr-
standing Of the present CALL we cannot endorse the.
move.
This much we say in justification of our act in
taking off our name, and must leave others, who
did the same, to assign their reasons. We
speak for ourselves alone. .. -

Mrs. MEDIA BLATCHARD's CoNCERT.--Mrs.
Blanchard's concert which came off at vii.
lard's Hall on Saturday evening, was COM
plete success throughout. Among the audi.
ence we noticed President Lincoln and lady,
with his private secretaries, Messrs. Nicolsy
and Hay, Gov. Seward, large number of the
members Of both Houses Of Congress- and
many prominent military officers, which gave
the hall an extremely attractive appearance.
Mrs. Blanchard possesses voice of remark
able compass, and sings with an ease that is
really quite refreshing. In her rendition Of the
cavatina, "Beatrice di Tenda,' and also in the
ballad "Good.bye, Sweetheart, these qualities
were well shown forth, and told with an elec.
trical effect upon the large audience present.
The Cavatina, from Martha" sung by Sig
nor Lotti, was very fine, and received with the
greatest enthusiasm, as was also the perform.
ance of the National PotpouTi by the band OF
the first German Rifles. Nor must we forget
to mention the excellent rendering of passages
from Shakspeares Richard III, by Professor
| Amasa Mccoy. His animated recital of The
words Richmond and victory" with their pc
culiar significance at this time, was not los
upon the military portion Of the audience wh,
applauded vociferously.
The desire for repetition of this concert i;
universal.
CRIMINAL CoURr.-On Friday, in the case o
William Anderson, colored, charged with re
sisting an officer, notle pros. was entered b,
the District Attorney.
George Gibson, small boy, was tried fo
stealing ffty-eight dollars from Mrs Ragsii
and acquitted.
Charles Robinson, indicted for stealing
horse valued ut fifteen dollars, was found guilt
| and sentenced to the penitentiary for tw'
years.
The court then adjourned until Monday
morning.
The national Republican., 1861-07-08

The day was celebrated in quiet and un-
ostentatious manner by the thirty first New
York volunteers. At daybreak, the regimental
band played several patriotic airs in front of
the officers quarters, and at night the men
gaily illuminated their camp and built bonfres.
Captain Whitlock's company, during the even.
ing, sang several patriotic songs and hymns.
