REPLY OF GOVERNOR HICKS.

FREDERIcK, May 10, 1861.
Communication from the Mayor Of Balti-
more to the House of Delegates, published by
that body yesterday, is designed to imphcate
me in the destruction Of the railroad bridges,
near Baltimore, on the 10th ultimo this. too,
10 face of the fact that had, in recent official
communication to the Senate, positively denied
any completely in the matter.
If the Mayors communication and accompany
ing certificates have induced any person to doubt
my true position in the premises, respectfully
ask suspension ofjudgement until sufficient
time be afforded me to collect the necessary
proof, and show, 90 shall be able TO do conolu-
sively and that the destruction Of the Bridges
was part of the conspiracy Of those acting
against the Government, and was known and
proclaimed in other parts of the State, before
the destruction was contaminated
Whether Mayor Brown did or did not know Of
this part OF the programme, am unable to say
am charitable enough to believe that he did not
know Of it.. His peculiar surrounding, and
agitated coalition of mind, at the time referred
to, may reasonably enough account for his assent
to the transaction. But any person who knows
nay opinion of George P. Kane and Enoch L.
Lowe, will at once admit that | would be very
slow to assent TO any proposition emanating from
or endorsed by them. Their Introduction into
my bed chamber, at a late hour Of the night, Ia
urge my. consent to the preparation Of an I'M
lawful act, was not calculated to convince me Of
the propriety or necessity of that act. Men dc
not readily take council Of their enemies
SO soon as the heavy pressure upon my tim'
shall have somewhat subsidized. | will lay befor'
the public full REPUTATION of this nefarious at
tempt to involve an innocent person in an un
warranted proceeding. Until that time, re-
quest suspension Of public opinion.

Moore's "Lalla RoOkh" is most appropriate;
Oh. for tongue to curse the slave
Whose treason, like deadly blight,
Comes DER the councils of the brave,
And blasts them in their hour of might
May life's unblessed cup for him
Be drugged with lreacheries to the brim--
With hopes that but allure to fly,
With joys that vanish as he sips,
Like Dead Sea fruits that tempt the eye,
But turn to ashes on the lips
His country's curse, his chidren's shame,
Outcast of virtue peace and fame,
May he, at last, with lips of flame,
On the parch'd desert thirstng die,
While lakes that show in mOokery nigh
Are fading off, untouched, untasted,
Like the once glorious hopes he blasted
Aud when from earth his spirit fies,
just Prophet, let the damn'd one dwell
Full in the sight of Paradise,

THE ORpINANCE PASSED.



The deed is done And black deed it is
the Legislature of Tennessee in Secret Session
passed an Ordinance Of Secesson--yOtiug the
State out of the Federal Union and changing the
Federal Relations of State, thereby affecting
to the great injury Of the people, their most i'm
pOrtant earthly interests The men who did
this deed in secret conclave were elected two
years ago, and they were elected and sworn TO
support the Constitution of the United States,
and the obligations Of that oath must rest upon
them until their successors are elected. They
have dared pass an ordinance that is really I'M
constitutional, unjusii6able, and is, upon the
whole, vile act Of usurpRtion. 10 say that
the extraordinary emergencies of the times de-
handed this outrage will not do with those Of
us who know tue State of Tennessee has not been
oppressed, and 1t is not invaded by hostile foe,
and is not likely to be unless we invite or pro-
woke an attack. 1t has been the policy Of ali
usurpers, in all ages, to excuse themselves for
the exercise Of arbitrary power, intended at once
to oppose the people and 10 deprive them Of their
liberties.
The apology for doing this deed in secret
session is, that it would not do to act with open
doors, and thereby let the United States Govern
ment know what was transporting. This is only
pretext for this act-it WAS to prevent Me Pee-
pie Of Tennessee from knowing what vile work
they wers engaged in, and applying the remedy.
They did not want the real people to read the
speeches Of Union men delivered in that body,
who gave reasons, numerous and strong, why
Tennessee should not go into jeff Daviss re-
pudiating Confederacy. But unprincipled poll,
ticians have resolved upon governing the people,
and to induce them to submit, they must keep
them in the dark as to their vile schemes.
In June, We are called upon to vote for OF
against this Ordinance of Secession, and all trains
Of evils, such US enormous taxes, and the raising
of fifty thousand troops Will the people ratify
il, or will they reject it2 Let every man, old
and young, halt and blind, contrive to be at the
polls on that day. lfw lose then, our liberties
are gone, and We are swallowed up by Military
Deapoiism more odiOus than any now existing il
