There can be earthly doubt that Governor Hicks OF
Maryland, is in full communion consultation and con-
cert with Lincoln and his Cabinet; that he is known
and recognized in Washington as trusted member
and agent of the Black Republican coercionist party

Old Bennett Greely and all that tribe getting scared
They fear that Old Abe is not equal to the crisis
That all the nosed expedition to the South will end
in smoke instead OF subjugation. They dread, not
without some reason the approach of Jefferson Davis

Washington cannot compare with the government at
Montgomery They know that the moral effect Of
this will soon be felt at home aud abroad. Their
sleep is disturbed with dreams of Southern army in
Philadelphia and New York. and they are for getting
/ some big contractor to take the by the job and
nusure them for liberal premium AS for money

J., annals of the world show such spirit. Mankind
must stand ransxed halt in horror and half in disgust
and Europe may WELL indeed, doubt the capacity of mai
