ration that he did not in al of the resolutions
The chairman did not deem il and vote was

These resolutions meet with opposition from the
most enthusiastic and unconditional Union men Of Balti-
more They regard that portion of them relating
clpstsn calculated to lead to discord and divisions
Whilst all acknowledge that slavery is doomed in Mary
land they contend that il has been brought s present
dying condition by those who have naugurated and sus

responsible for its overthrow and to take no part them
selves in pushing il to the wall
The resolutions not having been voted on by the meet

speeches delivered being the sentiments Of those who
proposed them The Union sentiment of Baltimore is
strong and unconditional that it ready applaud and sp

would doubtless be glad to do for he has great faith
in negro troops. The only trouble is that he can
not get enough of them, for, in the first place, the
blacks of South Carolina either cannot or will not
flock to his banners, and, in the second place. such
was the persistence with which those actually with
in his lines refused to be "called into the con-
Aict" that he had to impress most of the freed
men now actually enrolled in the ranks Of the South
Carolina Volunteers. 1t is plain, therefore, that
Gen. Hunter cannot hope to swell his army by
coored recruits until he has so far conquered the
insurgent forces that stand between him and the
"loyal blacks" of South Carolina as to enable him
to impress more of the latter. What prevents
him from doing SO? Certainly not the doubts
Of those who have but little faith in negro troops
for their dubiety is powerless to discourage the
contamination of any measures the Administration
may take under this head and certainly cannot pre-
vent Gen. Hunter from calling as many negroes as
he may please into this conflict. If he does not
employ as many as he wants, we suppose it is for
the same reason that Jack did not eat his supper,
and not because of any doubts expressed in New
York or elsewhere to the military prowess of the
black race.
The Indifferent success of Gov Andrew in filing
up from all parts of the United States the negro
brigade which he was authorized to raise in Massa-
chusetts suggests to practical minds that the negroes
will not come into this conflict for the calling"
10 spite of the earnest adjurations addressed to
them by the Governor and by Frederick Douglass,
in spite of the liberal bounty offered, and, more
than all, in spite Of the opportunity ito strike
blow in vindication of their manhood" they
Shrink" from the inspiring summons. We do
not wonder at it. Our only wonder is that Mr..
Chase, in the presence of such facts, should ex-
claim, the American blacks must be called into
this conflict, +" as though any body in the Loyal
States was preventing them from being called. If
the Government does not straightway put as many
blacks into the field as it wants, we wish it to be
understood that the fault does not rest at the doors
Of any body but the Administration in shrink
ing" from employing them, or of the negroes them
selves in shrinking" from being employed.

an election was 10 come oil today in which an
expression Of public sentiment could be given,
there would be at least a fourfold increase Of the
Democratic majority given At the last October
election. The people have become dissatisfied
with the management OF public affairs. They
have lost confidence in the Adminlstration-in its
utility to successfully and wisely discharge the
duties intrustcd to the representatives OF the
Government There is po installing the public
pulse in that regard.
In the last thirty days thousands who were

The evidences of this are so ~palpable that the
wayfaring man, no matter how humble or un.
cultivated. cannot be misled. The war policy.
the emancipation policy, the financial policy. of
the party in power are alike denounced and re
pudiated.
Tie people feel that the measures of the Adj

suits present no evidence that a coereive policy
will restore union and harmony between the two
sections OF the country. Instead OF that, each
returning day presents renewed evidence that
the contest becomes more bitter and irreconcila-
BILE.
The people realize that the results OF war are
disunion; increased public and private burdens;
the destruction Of popular institutions; and the
longer continued the more injurious to individual
and national progress and prosperity. These
considerations are causing a rapid and radical
revolution in public sentiment and it will increase
in strength until the people will rise in their
might and sweep from power The party and
the men who have brought upon the country the
