Tie impression receive Ct Maryland politics
from intercoV re with Of all SHADES OF opinion
on the spot vary 70 materially rom those usually
accented among your readers that i think Il rceiu
to state them briefly Most Of the newspapers oi
tins city Will miseai whoever follows them es they
are governed by fear or hate local ealousy they
seek saf life and venture nothing ;or principle or
ccnutry-.hese are facts, and facts are stubborn
things The country papers, such as The Ca'r,ridge
IateHissacer published in the elaveholdng counties
and The Fran iacr in the free counties are good ex-
ponen.s Of the feeling of the mass of the loyal
people Of the State. Both of these are for the
Presidents emanci patiOn polIcy-as are nearly
all the country papers which, theugh pub
.ishod but once wces:, nevertheless exert Il
great influence upon their readers. There II not,
and never has been, any Rtprbiic0r pdrtyiR Mary

old stan dang. The mass OF the loyal men are the
members Of the cid Kp1wNothing or American
party which 30 long ruled the state; few Demo
crate, and about m many Republicans make np the
residue. The American parry did not nominate
Bell ard Everett, and tho neI who originated that
Censti utional Union party vere chiefly TegToi-ed
Wings, woo never hatricaHs. They may
lie compared 20 the Brockees OF The " y. Erpyess.
Trey alec organized the bird party movement in
1850 and b. that maneuyer prevented the sending
desired.
Rather than divide the state, the Americans sub
m'cd to follow tie lead Of the cd Wings for
Bob and Everett. not because any one expected 20
elect them, bat simply 10 prevent Bfeckinnjpe from
carrying toe State. These remained in charge
of the organization, aud thus got possca-
sion Of the Union party. Thee men constitute
the State Executive Committee, AID are az Tie style
OF Gov. Hicks and Reverdy johnson. They 90 not
represent the great mas, OF the ONION men OF Mary

men and the Leg Statue. but nofy their ewes are

by tho true Union that the Pre.lden VIII trust

working against tho Administration, and that III
the tax.levv their Representatives will be placed IN
power everywhere under the influence OF Coy.
Hicks, Royc.dy Johnson, tie CongEessmeD, and tho
Committee. the only persons the Adninisi ration
can look 20 FOR ADVICE that may be depended npon
are Col Purnell, Postmaster OF tho eityi be- Hon
man, Collector OF the Port; Mr.. Cochran, Judge
Boud, and tho neD Ex61utiye City Committee.
Certainly Uo appointments ought 70 30 maic agans,
their advice. ,ha, s II the Administration cares
for the support Of the truly loyal men Of the
State ]. Is "a misfortune that the Adn'iniara-
ton has not hitherto paid any rca' onable de-
lutte friends "a MarylaRd. Tho recent appointment
of Mr. Price Districi-Attorney and other like casee,
have showed u marked preference for the iakewarm

hottie 10 the Administration AID c0yer,lJ aiding

the supper. Of Mary land's loyal men, which it viii
ret at all hazards; but II will BE- doubly hard for
Them 10 work a.sin.t the namby pamby mon who
a Uk.ly through the aid Of deceit aDd lies, to be
placed in Offices where they use the posIion az

rlaced the lever in their hands. The papers ~ this
