the county's majesty aud power and glory
Such are some Of the expressions you hear on
every side. Down among the people, VINO
always do the fighting, end voting, and paying
of the community, you hear the same sentiments
IN less poetic form. For instance; Damn the
man who does not come up to that call. That's

for old Abe That's the sort of thing We want
t. hear about. He has read the riot act Down
with traitors"
A Richmond firm ordered the Rebel flag to be
hoisteA yesterday on a schooner of theirs in our
barber. IL was soon pulled down, but was after

police. Pretty business that for protection
Gov. Hicks ia reported 10 have started on Sat

County. He will doubtless be back In time 70
act promptly on the call for the quota OF troops
which the President will make from Maryland.
That our loya! old State will respond instantly
no man for moment doubts. There are thou-
sands upon Thousands OF true hearts longing 10
defend the Stars aud Stripes from the incidence
Of South Carolina toryism and treason. Let but
! the tocsin sound, and the tramp of the old Mary
land line will be once moro heard IRON Inc Al
,eehapies 10 the sea.shore, rallyng around the
Federal power.
The rurnor is current that Marshal Kane has

Pennsylvsn,a troops should attempt to march
ttbrouph Baltimore to the Federal Capital. their
preeress will be resisted by the whole force of
| the Police Department, which has the power to
call out the entire military force OF the city, and
| to compel obedience TO its behests by fine and
| imprisonment! If any such idea ia contemplated
| by the Police Department and attempted to be
! carried out, it will raise storm that will sweep
| the dreps Of Secessionsm in our city out of cx-
| istence. But will not do the police authorities
the injustice to suppose them capable of any
such folly. only mention the rumor 10 dis
credit it.
Three companies of United States troops
passed through the city yesterday, on their way
to the capital, uDmolested. and so will pass al
other United States troops.
learn that it ia intended to increase the gar
risons of Fort McTIenry, Fort Washington. and
Fortress Monroe at once, to the war standard
and to place the Pikesville Arsenal in a sufficient
state of defense. The army Of defense to be
concentrated at Washington is to number moi
less than 1000 men. Everybody feels the happy
influence OF such vigorous measures. Nothing
less will assure our safety, and overawe the BE-
lials of rebellion, who are lying in wait for mis-
chief. small as their number is, for notwthstand
ing they are just now kept down by the over
whelmirg sentiment against them, they are busiy
nc work in organizing themselves upon military
basis. Let the strong arm of the Federal Gov
eminent be held over them IN terTorem, and they
will not dare lift up their heads.
Certain political Belleyeretts, not content with
having heaped upon the heads of the Republicans
of this city, in the last campaign, all sorts OF
contumely, and branded Mr.. Lincoln through
their organs as an arrant political knave, whose
election would be sufficient cause for Secession
held meeting on Saturday evening at tn,
Eutaw House, to dictate TO the President th'
appointment of Mr. Thorpe as Postmaster o
Baltimore! This is about the coolest piece o
impudence that has come 10 TIE surface, tinct
the assault on Fort Sumter. One of the speak
ers argued, that none but Beleveretts ought Il
be appointed to Office in this city The claim
they set up for Mr.. Thorpe, is, that be is al
unconditional Union man" as if there were NJ
other such individuals in the tewn. Admitting
that Mr.. Thorpe is the man his indcrsers say
no is, they surely do not mean to assert thai
our fellow-ctizen, DR.. George Harris, Lincoln
elector, whom the Republicans have presented
for the office of Postmaster, is not his equal il
every respect, and should be excluded because
he is of the same political faith as the Presiden
and his Administration. And yet such is thu
conclusion of this whole Belleyerett hunt fol
Office in this quarter.
