wAsHNeToN, May 7.--Major Anderson has
this evening, with the consent Of the Presi-
dent, accepted the command OF the Kentucky
Brigade.
BALTIMORE, May 7.--T The Union demon
stration at Frederick to- day was a grand
affair. Hon. Reverdy johnson, in behalf of
the ladies, presented q flag to the Home
Guard, who had one hundred and fifty
members present besides n large and en-
thusiastic gathering of the people. Mr..
johnson said, in the original causes which
have produced the present emergency, Mary
land bss had no share. Her people ever
were, and now are, jealous in support of the
Constitution and Government which they
were foremost in forming and adopting. No
threat of treason has ever been whispered
within her limits, while the blessings and
advantages of the Union have ever been
fully estimated and appreciated. The loss
of these advantages, it is felt would be utter
ruin. In this ruin all the States would more
or less share, but our geographical position
would make it to us immediate and total.
Separation is impossible. But for resistance
to its just and legal authority, the Govern
ment had given no causes, and had the
friends of constitutional rights remained at
their posts in Congress, the power of the
Government to transgress its authority could
have been effectually thwarted.
The leaders of the rebellion were actuated
by an unholy thirst for official power. The
fact is eVinced in the elevation to place of
all who have de. ecrated official position and
plotted treason. They may as well strike
at the heavens with their arms as against
the American Union. Defeat was certain to
rebellion.
The free States, according to the last cen
sus, have three millions seven hundred aud
seventy-eigbt thousand males, between the
ages OF eighteen and forty, FIVE. The slave
States have one million six hundred and
sixty-fve thousand. The seeded States
exclusive of Virginia, had only five hundred
| and thirty. one thousand, and the difference
in wealth is proportionate to that of men
With such q vast disparity the end of the
struggle is beyond doubt. 1t was the aim o.
the South to con6ne the war to the Border
States. Mr.. Cobb was even now congratu
lating them on the removal of it from theil
midst, but Maryland should Illustrate thi
cowafdly policy. Let those who have pro
voked the war bear its entire brunt. Mary
lands proper position is to remain firm il
her loyalty TO the Government. The rebel
lion leaders have done all they could fol
Mr.. Lincoln's election, as the means of pre-
cipitating revolution in the South.
They relied for success of their plans OF
the intervention of the Border States, ant
divisions in the North; but they were short
sighted men--the first gun fred at a nobl
and starving garrison, was a blow at tn
