Maryland wants no such compromise, for we
should, in the event of its adoption, be as COM
pletely subjected to the domination of the Cotton
States as the Free States would be; and so, too,
all the border Slave States. But it will never
come to that, thank God, if there is any virtue
yet left
Whether the city authorities intend to take
any action toward receiving the President elect
is not yet known. hear Of no intimatiOns on
the subject, though l take it for granted the
usual resolutions will be adopted and committee
named in conjunction with the Mayor to meet
him and conduct him to the city and through it
to the Washington depot. 1t is barely possible
there will be some demonstrations in honor of
the occasion by the citizens, without respect to
party. l believe if he would stop among US, and
let us have one of his felicitOus addresses the
masses would thrcDg his hotel aud gladly hear

the dissatisfaction of the sodiery at the conduct

all the camps Of the rebels, and it was rather
encouraged by tie powers that be, who were
delighted at the prospect Of getting rid Of such
troublesome customers, on such easy conditions.

We learn from source entitled to the Mt
most credit, that the Administration, enam-
ored of the work il has undertaken to stir up
civil strife and set neigbbnrs against neigh

arms 10 its friends in E Ist Tennessee, as 1t
has to its friend< in Kentucky.

The Cash system.

After mature deIiberatinn the Publishers Of
this pap-r have determined TO adopt the
CASH SYsTEN. Thy have been led to this
step by the heavy I"sses experienced from
debts scattered throughout The State. which
they have been unable to enllect, the neces-
sity which compel- THIN TO pay cash for la
Dor in the printing Office, fer paper and other
supplies. and the geDrral ad piion of the sys
TEN on the part of leading houses in all
branches of trade and industry. The cash
system, necessary to protect us, will also be
beneficial to puncIual subscribers, inasmuch
as it will rid US OF the expense entailed by
non-paying su bscribers, and enable US to re-
dHce the price of our weekly paper. From
this date, therefore, we shall enter the name
of no person on our books as a subscriber,
unless he pays for his paper in advance. And
on the LIST day of July next, we shall erase
from our subscription lists every name not
paid in advance. Our weekly paper will be
tlro dollars per annum. Those who have al
ready paid in advance beyond the 1st day OF
July, 1861, will be allowed the benefit of this
reduction from that date.
~ We shall keep this notice standing in our
columns until the 1a of July, and, on that day.
erase eury delinquent from our list.
