We clip tho above paragraph FROM the

an administration journal aud the organ Of
Gov. Hicks. 1t seems to be the god for

not little Of c.r.4in noblcmcn anil clergy,

Orange. justified their desertiou Of the

ancs. With this security for his personal
safety. it may be clever in him to attempt,
By /. species VI Intimidation. to prevent
hons.t men from lasting an honest vote.
but the day may come. when the Gase'ss
man will learn, that in revolutionary times
It does not slw.ysEpay to play the cour-
tier. and that their are time. even when
it is not cafe to play the de'nagogac. He
should remember that Baltimore city was
