add their quota TO the reocings over the triumph y

MARYLAND TLis Border State has placed herself airy
in the ranks Of the Government and the sickiy whne
Of MY Maryland" has been drowned down IN The
heartfelt chorus Of the eed Banner where
that national melody had birth.

The canvass was marrcl by one ugly incident only.
roir to the difference between tie Hon \. H. Brais
ford Governor OF Maryland. and Major-Gen sehenck.
In the good cause with this Exception. these gentle.
men have worked together in harmony Both are len
OF eminent ability and both have given conclusive
evidence OF true loyalty These facts make their prosent
positions the painful must say. however, thAs
Gov Bradford is in the wrong as the published oor.
respondence and orders will prove.
Under the pressure Of petitions letters ahds,its and
delegations from all parts Of the Peninsuar districts
where the great bulk of Rebel sympshzers reside rep
resentng that unless prevented the impudont support
ers Of the Rebellion would attempt 10 take possession o1
tie polls and embarrass the Government by clectiu0
men hostile the Union, Gen. schenck reissued with
some modification tie order published by Gen Dix two
wears since when Gov. Bradford was happily e!ecte
For this act Cen Schenck could have had but obs

teet the polls. but their efforts would have ended
blooJshed. They never would have consented 10 SCI
bese Rebel sympathizcrs exercising The elective rauS
chise under Government they openly abused sn0
wished 20 overthrow.

County issued absurd order In regard to the election
In which they undertook " designate who were oyaI
citizens by saying that only those could bc SO consd
cred who voted for tho Government candidates and
then arrested and sent to Baltimore the entire Coppef<
head candidates the county ticket These unhappy
gentlemen arrived in Baltimore the night before the
elections and Col. Piatt, Gen. Schencks Chief u StaA
not only released tho prisoners. but returned them
Government boat to Kent County in time TO take theit
places the polls, and General Schenck Indignantly res
yoked the obnoxious order and placed both Colonel and
Provost Marshal under arrest ~

Conservative and Rebel sympaihizers, to return q
Copperhead delegation to Congress-, no dhe doubts
my county, almost known Rebels brought out foy
the local officers, and IL was understood and agreed
upon that these should be voted for by the Conserv
tiyes while the Rebels, IN return, should sustain t1Q
Copporlead candidates for the Legislature and ConH
gress. This abominable fraud and scandal was pre-
vented by the loyal citizens aided by Gen SoheheA a00
his posse of peace men under arms.
