TIE NEW CONSTITUTION .


ipg time Intervening between this and cleo
ton day.
THE NEW CONSTITUTION.
Did Alegany County do all that she could
or ought to have done at this great and vitality
important election? True you carried your
County by respectable minority, but could
not she have more than doubled that majority :!
I am sure no County in the State Is more vi
tally Interested in the question of making
Maryland free State than good old Allesany
County. Her mineral resources, are so ire
mendous, and yet but partially developed
owing to the incubus of Slavery, that her
rit;.cns should ennmssc heye discarded all
marty considerations and voted to make your
State torercr tree--for when this was done
Northern Capital seeking good investments
would be attracted to your Iron and Coal
fields. and bring out the untold riches now
;rbedcd in the Hills and Mountains of your
State. Thank Heaven that though our home
vote was light our noble Braves in the field
came to our rescue. and thus saved the Con-
stitution. Our Soldiers ate quite rs anxious
to pay their respects to their enemies in their
rear as they are those in their front.
NECESSITY FOR pERsEvERING EFFORT.
Now while we feel that our candidates are
sure of an election by a very large majority
still it should be 50 overwhelming as to for
ever crush out the Copperhead race. The
moral effect of such victory would be worth
a dozen victories in the field. We have a
desperate and unscrupulous enemy to contend
with, one who will scruple at nothing, will
move Heaven and Earth to defeat the Union
lists in the great struggle On the Sth Of No
vember.
To War advocates, they are for war, while
to their own Cabal their cry is pcace-peacc
with the Rebels. While the latter are doing
their utmost to insure our National death III
order to aid their apclogsts in the opposition
ranks, to achieve success By their lying ma
chinations.
WORK woaK WORK.
Every mcn in the Union ranks should work
day and night from now until the night OF
the day of the election. let every man feel
as if the responsibility of the contest rested
with himself Scatter the Documents among
the people, disabuse their minds Of any and
all unfounded prejudice. and inspire them
with the necessity of assisting to perfect your
County, Town and District organizations, to
the end that proper attention be paid to every
doubtful voter, and every lulewarm one be
reuvcnatcd with patriotic ardor and love for
our Holy cause, and doing all in his power to
insure such an overwhelming majority in
your noble County as shall forever stamp her
as the Banner County of Freedom in Mary
land
OUR PROSPECTS.
They ere bright and continually brighten
ing. but don't allow this fact to paralyze your
efforts, nay let it rather nerve each Voter TO
do his whole duty-that in after years he and
his children and his childrcn's children may
be proud to say in the great battle for Ma
tonal Independence of 1864, | voted, or my
father, Gas the case may be) for those good
and tried men, Lincoln and johnson.
vcCR pAPER
Is doing much gocd-puSh on the column
and relax no effort and Old Alegany will
give 5000 majority for Union and Liberty
OCCASIONAL.
