4 NEW CONVENTION.

In the Union Of last week, appears COM
munica!ion suggesting the call of Union
convention, to meet in Frostburg, to nomi-
nate ticket in opposition to the one noni-
mated on the 30 instant. 1t smacks very
much Of copperheadism, for we do not think
that true Union man would have written
it, IT, however, it is the production Of one
protesting to be such, he certainly is most
lespicablo ono. After such 4 convention as

call Of the Central Committee. and the dele
gates eectc! by the free and truly loyal poo
pic Of the districts, for a man, protesting to
be the same, to throw such a fire-brand into
the ranks, is, to shy til g least rotten to the
core, and to subseryo his ow1s interests would
trample under foot all that is right and good.
And VIC think the same OF tho editor who
would publish it, when protesting to be so
pure and in2cpcN9cEly loyal.

The Slaves Of Prejudice.
DEATH ROBBED OF HIS PREY.

There are queer people in the world people
with tho mos. absurd, unreasonable, and in
defensible prejudices. For example, We have
met with individuals who had morbid an
tpathy TO anything that was extensi vcly nd
vertised, no mattor what might be its actual
claims 10 the confidence of the public These
ecccntrics looked with especial disiayor on adj
vertised medicines. They could not see, for
example, in DR.. HoLLowAYs magnificent sys-
TEN of advertising, covering, as it does, all
the mediums OF publicity which the world af-
fords, anything but gigantic scheme of mere
speculation. True, they coald not gainsay the
testimony pouring in spontaneously from the
highest sources, in favor of his incomparabl 10
Pills and Ointment, but still they shook their
oeads aud muttered 'humbug.' Of course,
there is no possibility of arguing with men
who won't reason. The best way is to le,
them alone. Fortu nately, such specimens of
stupidity are few aud far between in this en-
lightened era. The general feeling is, thut if
q thing is ia itself excellent it svirtues should
he proclaimed TO the four winds OF heaven,
for the general benefit of mankind. Hen ce,
the proclamationS made by DR.. HOLLOWAY,
tn ro ugh the entire newspaper press of the
world of the properties and operation of lis
remedies, meets with the cordial approval of
thinking men. The value of the Preparations
as specifics for the various internal and exter-
nal complaints peculiar to different climates,
or TO the world at large, is conceded, not only
by the masses, but by governments, men of
science, and candid observers in every walk
of lie. Can such remedies be too widely
known? Impossible - Gin. Dollar Coiuni-

Emancipation Once More.

We are sure our readers will not find fault
with us for reverting to this subject again.
1t il deeply interesting md all-important to
Maryland at this timo It Is almost mex
haustible
Since our last Issue Two important papers
which have direct reference to this subject,
have boon sent forth for their considerations
One proceeding from the Executive Commit
toe Of what has been designated the Union
party-Union, In opposition to the Leagues
Union party. The difference, as our readers
will readily perceive. is worry marked, and
was intended SO to be. In the convention
called by the State Executive Committee Of
tho Union party of two years ago, the sub
jcct was warmly debated, and they repudi-
ated tho idea that they were unconditional
Unionists and proclaimed themselves to bo
tho Union party. This course did not suit
the Union men OF the Leagues. it looked too
much like as IT, under certain circumstances.
they might cease to be Unionists and identify
themselves In sentiment and action with the
Copperheads the enemies 0! tho Government;
and rs this superstition was altogether foreign
from their purposes, and put them in false
position before the world, thoy chose to or
ganize themselves as tho UNCONDITIONAL
Union party of the Statc-men who were
resolved to stand by the Administration, the
Government, come veal Oh woe. Tho other
is letter from the Governor of the State to
the Hon. Francis Thomas, our candidate for
Congress-
Both the address and the letter argue the
subject from false premise. They assume
that the cmancipationists arc such reckless
and lawless set of citizens that they propose
to accomplish their object at all hazards---il
need be, by a violation of the Constitution
and the laws. Where the Executive Commit
tee Of the so-called Union party, or tho.Gov-
crnor Of the State obtained their information,
we arc not informed Of one thing, however,
we arc very sure, and that is, tLoy did not
obtain it from the Unconditional Uuionsts,
from emancipationists. It smacks, to our
mind, very much of Copperhoadism We
were among the first in this State, STAKEHOLDER
though we be, to advocate this subject, and
perhaps we are Among the mos. radical in
the State in reference to it; and yet VIC defy
the Governor or the Executive Committee to
find single paragraph that we have written
favoring such policy as that to which they
refer, and we think we can speak for our ed
i.orial brethren with equal confidence. Nci-
