SYMPATHY WITH MARYLAND-THE DAY
OF HER REDEMPTION.
Maryland is in bad case. She Jagged behind
when wisdom aud patriotism urbraided her hest
taion and delay, pointed out the path OF safety
and urged and besougbt her to walk therein, and
while she fingered in doubt and fear, disgrace and
suffering overlook her, and betrayed subjugated
and sienced, she is the object of pity and
prayer. No more sad and painful spectacle ever
drew tears from the eyes of patriotism. sove-
reign State, with as glorious history as that that
delights and inspires the heart of the proudest and
most honorsd of her sisters, whose deeds on fields
of blood, where our first independence was achiev
ed, will be celebrated so long the spirit of liberty
shall live, whose worthy of their lineage
this sovereign State is under the heel of vulgar
and bloody despot. She is bound hand and foot,
and only tongue here and there dare denounce
and curse the power which delights to wrong and
injure her brave and high minded sons.
Poor Maryland! Trusting to the plighted word
and pretended honor of her highest functnnary-
deceived by the soft assurances Of cunning and
! corrupt demagogues, she has been betrayed, and
| then Inundated. Her high spirit writhes under
the weight and infamy of the mean bondage, she
! staggers beneath the burden, and calls up the
memory of those days when she poured out her
blood like water to purchase the blessings which
have been ruthlessly taken away from her. But
| what can she do? The with which she would
| strike is bound; the ground she would make
bloody battle field is in the possession OF the agents
of the and base despot. Her power
| less to wipe the stain from her honor, and to
avenge her nsulted majesty. They can only suffer.
| " lille they giving willing to the plausible
assurances of those to whom she had committed the
maintenance of her sovereignty, the enemy poured
| in upon her commercial capital by thousands aud
established on her sacred soil the most revolving
and CALLING of all forms of despotism
| But though now powerless to resist the over
whelming power, and forced for while to seem to
! submit that gallant people can never learn to be
| slaves. They cannot get accustomed to their
chains. They are freemen their fathers fought
and died for these blessings the vulgar despot has
| deprived them of, they know their rights, and set
just value upon their inestimable blessings and
never has liberty appeared so sweet as it has done
since the glorious gift was taken away by the
armed horde. They are freemen STILL There are
no letters on their souls. The spirit of freedom is
as fresh and strong, and resolute and defiant and
unconquerable, as before the hated soldiers of the
despot polluted the soil of the glorious State And
though forced to bear the great calamity they are
now grooming under; forced to see the majesty of
| law insulted and trampled upon; forced to submit
to untold indignties and wrongs, they are nursing
| thoughts of vengeance which their own strong
arms shall execute when the fitting hour arrives.
! Those acts OF tyranny have been burnt into the
soul, and on the day of vengeance those who have
despised her threats and warnings, and turned
| deaf ear to her entreaties, and BETRAYED her to
the foe, will pay the penalty of their enormous
crimes.
That day ard hour are not far distant. The
chaice is already mixed. and traitor sons and hire
| ling soldiers shall drink it to the dregs.
| Every hour she is under the heel of the tyrant
increases the number of her wrongs and heightens
the of her disgrace. The fire burns with too
| great herceneSs to be much longer confined But
the longer the uprising of that brave people be de-
| ferrcd, the more terrible will be the punishment
they will lntict upon their decevers and oppres-
sOrs. The sword will sever the ties that bind them
| to the Infamous despotism and they will write the
separation in the blood of their enemies
REPUBLICAN, BUGLYIsm.-The New York Journal
Of Commerce, speaking of the men in the North who
are urging the war, says
1t is a great mistake to suppose that blood
! hound Is courageous dog. The who have
plunged into this war, who have hallood on the
! people, are men that have wisely stayed at home
And part of the plan to cover up their own want
of courage, is to keep up the cry of The reb-
els in the South who planned the dissolution of the
Union, who advocated it in Congress and in news
| papers and on the stump, the men who have
taken the field, while the Northern Editors and
! Congressman and Senators who opposed compro-
| mise, who let drift into this war, nav who
drag ged US into it, at home making contracts
! to supply army stores, and shouting "trator' at
| every man who ventures to remind them of the
evil they have brought on the c0untry, suggest
a remedy for it.
BUNCH OF STRAGGLERS "A highly mixed up
sort OF crowd lett the city yesterday for Baltimore
They were ringstreaked and speckled like Laban's
goats, gotten up in every variety of stvle. They
comprised lot OF stragglers from at least dozen
different regiments from various parts of the coua-
try, who In New York had got astray. How they
were ever got together is more than we can find
out The Camden people describe them as the
hardest cases ever yet drummed together. They
represented every describabIe style of uniform,
from that of the Zouave to the painest of grays.
Some of them appeared to have been upon pro-
logged rolic, and carried heads so swelled that if
the Baltimore railroad were in any part tuunelled
they couldn't possible pass it. About every other
man in the party was tipsy, while some of them,
having. INDUCED in fight the cars, were now
lamentlng over closed optics and hattened probos-
