We have heard no complaint of the fly, and
the stalks stand up well, with large heads,
rapidly filling for the harvest. With respect
to corn, the cut worm has been very destrac-

The crop will be probably short, as much of
the late planting will not come to perfection

Are not these men known? They take the
oath of allegiace, no doubt, but they are
rebels, nevertheless, and have no respect
for our Government or its officers, except
from fear. These dangerous men visit the

and convey it right to their friends, who
have not taken the oath of allegiance, and

" The Union as 1t Was"

While all true patriots are sinking party
names and party distinctions, and laboring
to support the President in his efforts to
crush out rebellion, so that the blessings of
our Union may once more, like the dews of
heaven, descend alike upon the people of
all sections. there is class of men. who
will not stir one inch to support the Gov
crnment who refuse as far as they dare to
pay the taxes necessary to prosecute the
war-who will not contribute even twenty
five cents to relieve the sick and wounded
soldicrs-who carp and cavil at every act
which in their opinion can create discomfort
and dissension among the loyal people, or
weaken the hands of the Executive-who
seize every opportunity to encourage the
rebels by proclaiming that " the South can
never be conqurcd who chuckle and
rejoice as openly as they dare at every Fed
succcss-who call themselves democrats (oh
shame y and whose cry is the Union as it
was, and the Constitution as it is.''
They are the men who six months ago
wanted to throw off the constitution of
George Washington, and adopt in its stead
the sham abortion of JEFF Davis & Co., who,
before gun was fired or blow struck
declared that the Union was already broken,
and that Maryland's place was with her
g sister States of the South or at least in
a Middle Confederacy," and tot day their
love for the Union is not one whit stronger
| than it was then. They hope to gain Il
political advantage and replace themselves
in power. "The Union as it was means
with them, their political power as it was.
As it was when weak if not knavish Exec
utive disgraced the nation by declaring that
the Union had no power to prevent its own
disruption-as it was when perjured cabinet
armed rebellion against the Government
as it was when one class of partisans claimed
a prescriptive right to rule the country and
brutally beat down and cursed down all
opposition-as it was when these partisans,
beaten by the peaceful ballot, resolved to
maintain their hold upon power by the bay
onet and the bullet-as it was in the days
of Buchanan and as they hoped it would be
in the days of breckenridge.
This is what they mean by /" the Union as
it was :" the restoration to power of the
| little clique of exclusives, who ruled and
ruined the democratic party, and then tried,
but unsuccesstully, to make it the instru.
mcnt of revolution, rebellion and dcspot-
! ism.
Loyal men recognize no disruption of the
Union. They see forcibc resistance to
the execution of the laws, but they see the
power of the Union daily more and more
developed, and as one after another the
strongholds Of rebellion are broken up the
old love for our glorious Union flames out
and the old flag the emblem of the Union !,
hailed with frantic delight. Too soon for
these cowardly traitors :" the Union as il
was " in all its power and integrity will
stand up the terror of despotism the world
over, and true men every where point with
merited contempt and scorn at the misera
BILE hounds who had not enough of patriot
ism to stand by their country and moi
enough of bravery to openly resist her.
