Governor Hicks of Margland.

This sterling Union man, who has thus
far resisted all the efforts of the disunion
cutthroats, has published an address to the
citizens of Maryland, giving his reason for
refusing to convene the Legislature. 1t
filed two columns of the Baltimore Amer
lean, and abounds in most emphatic Union
sentiments. In referring to the causes
which the disunionists proclaim as reasons
for their course, he says:
I'VE are told by the leading spirits in the
South Carolina Convention that neither the
election OF Lincoln nor the non-executl9n OF
the fugitive slave law, nor both combined,
constitute their grievances. They declare
that the real cause Of their discomfort dates
as far back a. 1888 Maryland, and every
other State in the Union. with an united voice,
then declared that the cause was insufficient
to Justify the course Of South Carolina. Can
it be expected that this people, who then
unanimously supported the course OF Gen.
Jackson, will now yield their opinions at the
bidding Of the modern secessionists? ??
We commend this paragraph TO the po-
litieal knavcs here and elsewhere who as
cribe all the evils under which the country
now labors to the election Of Lincoln, who
thus far has not had right even to make
himself heard Once in his seat as Prosi-
dent, we venture the prediction that six
months thereafter there will be better times
than there has been at any time Of Bu-
chanan's reign.

The Border Proposition.

The committee of the Border States Cot
which Hon. james T. Hale is member
comprising Senator'S and Representatives
from Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia,
Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Mis-
souri,, in caucus on the 9Th, adopted the
following propositions as & basis of compro-
mise for the settlement Of the difficulties
between the two sections:
lst. Recommending repeal Of all the per-
sonal liberty bills
ID That the fugitive slave law be amend
ed for tie prevention of kidnapping and so rs
to provlda for the equalization Of the commits
Sioner's fee, &c.
3D. That the constitution be so amended
rs t1 prohibit any interference with slavery
in any Of the States where il now ex SITS.
4th. That Congress shall not abolish sia-
very in the southern dockyards, arsenals, &c,
nor in the District Of Columbia, without the
consent Of the inhabitants o( the District, nor
without compensation.
5th. That Congress shall not interfere with
the inter slave trade.
9th That there shall be perpetual pro
hibiton of the African Slave trade.
Iltl. ID1l luc liiiS Va OO dVSAGSo ~ hi'lh'
utes shall be run through all the existing ter
ritory of the United States that in all north
Of that line slavery shall be prohibited and
that south Of that line neither Congress nor
the Territorial Legislature shall hereafter
pass any law abolishing, prohibiting or IN
any manner interfering with African slavery;
and that when any territory containing snf
fcient population for one member OF Congress
in any area of $4,000 square miles, shall ap-
ply for admission as q State, 1t shalt be adj
mitted with or without slavery, as its constj-
tuition may determine.
There are few provisions in these prop
ositions altogether superogatory, but we
suppose were adopted to suit the views Of
some members. The only thing of real
Importance is the seventh, which proposes
to restore with an extension what Mr..
Clay's giant mind conceived forty years
ago, and which the little minded demo
Gratis of 1854 repealed Fortunately, by
making it constitutional provision, 1t will
be beyond the reach of political tinkerers
hereafter, and We therefore hope it will be
adopted by Congress and ratified by the
requisite number of States. Coming, as
it does, from those most interested in liy-
ing amicably together being divided only
by an imaginary line, it ought to carry
weight with it to others less interested, for
if Pennsylvania and Maryland can live to-
gether in peace surely Virginia and New
York ought to.

INQUIRER.
Globes for Schools

Mr. Editor - wish through your columns
to call the attention Of Teachers and Direc
tors to the following facts
/. No person Of ordinary intelligence
doubts the utility Of having Geography taught
in our schools
2. 1t requires altogether extraordinary skill
to enable a teacher to give proper, intelligi
BILE explanations of some Of tie fundamental
facts and principles Of Geography, without a
globe.
3. Cheap globes, costing only $50, deliy-
cred in Lewistown, can be procured, which
would greatly increase the teachers success
in explaining. and the pupils in comprehen,
ding Mathematical Geography.
4. In almost every district this amount can
be raised. even in these hard times, 10y prop
or, intelligent appeals tr the common sense
and generosity Of school patrons
5. TO derive much benefit from globes this
winter, it will be necessary to take immediate
action.
have ascHrtained the terms on which
globes can be obtained from the Holbrook Ap
paratns Company, and the price is as have
stated above instead of one dollar. Will not
teachers and those interested in the pr0speri
ty of schools act in this matter speedily !?
Please let me hear Immediately from erery one
who wishes globe at this price-from those
whose names | have, as well as others; and,
if you please, send along the requisite money.

Among the singular condolences of
the day is the fact that H. A. Wise now pro
poses to do an act against the United States
precisely similar to that for which he hung
John Brown. Has flte doomed him to the
same end, and if SO. will he, like Brown, die
game?
ea-Professor Longstreet Of South Caroli-
na has issued pamphlet in which he begs
his fellow citizens to ''let the first shot come
from the enemy" The silly old man don't
seem to know that the only enemy the South
has Is the traitorous band Of disunionsts.
s@5~The Charleston Mercury, Of tie 9th
ult, pays its respects to the venerable Lewis
Cass as follows:
" For the hoary headed trickster aud hum
bug, who has last retired from the Cabinet
because war IS not made on South Carolina.
we have only to say, that his present imbeci-
ity equals his past treachery 10 this section

her of the 18th inst, intimates that in case
of the formation of Southern Confedera-
cy the foreign element viii be placed be-

follows:
1t is a gratifying reflection to know that
the great majority of the Southern democ-
racy favor the exclusion of foreigners from
the right of suffrage, in case Southern
Confederacy is formed We have convers
ed with a great number Of sensible, infu-

necessity of such restriction it being SC

ATTACK OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA
Assassins on a Government Vessel

The Star Of the West was dispatch
ed from New York on Sunday last with
provisions, stores, and 250 troops for the
relief Of the gallant Major Anderson, and
reached Charleston, Bay on Monday even
ing. \ telegraphic dispatch announces
the sad intelligence that she was fired into
by the South Carolina assassins, and all
hopes therefore Of peaceable solution of
our present difficulties are at an end. 1t
now only remains for all Union-loving cit

is 4 point when forbearance ceases to be a
virtue The North, slow to anger, will
now arouse, and woe to traitors North or
South when the strong arm will take the

Proceedings of CONGRESS-.

In the Senate on Monday, Mr.. Critten-
den introduced his resolutions which are
designed to harmonize the conflicting po-
litical elements Of the country. He made
few remarks upon them, urging their
careful consideration and ultimate adop-
ton by Congress, as the basis of our future
fraternal existence as Confederacy. In
the House very exciting scene ensued
upon the introduction of resolution sus-
tanning the action of Major Anderson, and
pledging the support of the country to the
President in all constitutional measures to
enforce the laws and preserve the Union.
Many members who voted against it gave
their reasons. The resolution was passed
by vote of one hundred and twenty -foul
to ffty-six.

The Blue Lights of 1880.

There arc a good many locofoco papers
Just now, as we'll as few patent democrats,
who either palliate or openly justify the
raakest treason that ever was attempted in
this country. They forget the fate of
Aaron Burr, who did not go half as far as
the Southcrn disunionists before he was ar
rested, and they also forget the Hartford
Convention, almost every man of which,
without doing more than taking of trea-
son, was consigned to political grave as
unenviahle as that of Arnold's. The true
lovers of their country will now mark who
aids and ahets traitors, and if the hell-born
schemes of the yanccys, the Rhetts, the
Keitts, and other cut-throat scoundrels
succeed in dismembering this Union, the
day is not distant when such pauderers tc
