Maryland poIItles-Onwnrd sun.

BALTIMORE, June IL, 1863.
Things are taking more definite
shape. Every days events push us on
ward TO the goal Of entire freedom for
Maryland.
since my last letter tho Union League
State Convention has been held. IL was
not full, but full enough TO Law down
the law and the testimony upon which
the friends OF the Administration mean
to go into the fight. Two or three dele
gates, not au JaH 70 the purposes Of the
Convention at lirst, gave in their cordial
adhesion the moment they came TO know
them. Gen. Henry Goldsborough from
Talbot was in this category, but he has
thrown his powerful influence upon the
side Of the Administration aud Eman-
cipstion.
The Convention passed a resolution
binding the members TO the result Of it's
deliberations, and then adopted the fol-
lowing out ard out programme
ResolUed, That the unconditional Union
men of Maryland ought TO vote for no
candidate for Congress who does not
avow himself in favor of giving a hearty
support to the whole policy of the Adj
niinistration, and pledge himself to enter
and abide by the Administration caucus
for Speaker of the House of Represen-
tatives.
ReSolUed, That the unconditional Union
men Of Maryland ought TO nominate and
vote for no candidate for the General AS
sembly who does not pledge himself TO
call Constitutional Union Convention,
to assemble at the earliest practicable
period.
RESOLVED, That the policy of Enamel
patton ought TO be inaugurated in Mary
lind.
In the absence of the delegations from
the Western counties, owing TO the inter-
rupton of communications, and ANNA
ted by the sincere purpose of harmonizing
the conflicting elements, unwisely arous-
ed by the Pro Slavery men, the Conven-
ton adjourned over to the 23d inst, SO
as TO confer with the Convention called
by the late Central Executive Committee
The probabilities now are that the Pro-
Slavery men will give way before the
advancing tide of Emancipation, and
that there will be no division in the
Union ranks. AT all events, the oppor-
tunity will be offered them TO rally to the
cause of Emancipation.
In yesterdays Convention there were
several large shareholders from the Eas-
tern Shore who were ready to be offered
up, and offer up their slaves on the shrine
of Liberty and Union. You will find in
the end that Emancipation is not a whit
behind Baltimore on The Eastern Shore.
Thanks to the war and the bold stand
taken by The Cambridge Mtelhgencer, The
Denton Union, The CentreviHe Times, and
The Cecil Wing. Mr. Stratum, the &C
Complished and liberty-loving editor of
The Cambridge htelhg@eer, it is thought,
will get the nomination for Comptroller.
A better one could not be made.
The nomination for Congress in the
I'd District is not yet made. Joe Stewart,
the Incorporating friend of the Ad-
minis tration and Emancipation, will
probably be selected. Mr. Webster, one
of his rivals, is Colonel of a Mary land
Regiment at Harper's Ferry, and doing
better service in the field than he could
possibly render the country in Congress
at this juncture of affairs Mr.. Leary,
his other competitor, if passed over on
this occasion, it is said, will receive the
nomination of the Union men for Judge
of the Circuit Court for Baltimore, in
| place of Judge Krebs. This would be q
handsome acknowledgment of Mr.. Lea
ry's services at the close of the last Con
gress, in scourging Mr.. Henry May Sc
successfully.
hear from the Western District thai
Frank Thomas's nomination is decided
upon, but he will be obliged to take his
stand on the above platform, which il ia
s.id, he is not ready TO do. In Calverti
District he is making strenuous efforts
to get back, and will probably succeed
unless the friends of tho Administration
should demur. Mr.. VIM. j. Albert il
spoken of as his successor, and would
render good service to the country and
the Administration.
The invasion of Maryland is arousinl
the military spirit of the State int
unwonted activity. w. G. S.
