Base SIander Refuted.

The undersigned, members Of the late
House of Delegates having had our atten-
ton called to Resolution passed by the
Copperhcad Convention which met at the
Court House on the 23th Of March, which
Resolution declares that "Aboiition votes"
in that body engrafted upon
tho manumission bill, a provi-
sion comforting upon negroes the
privilege of holding Office, sitting upon
"juries, and testifying against white per-
"sons in courts of justice" hereby pro-
nounce that statement false in every par
ticular, and, worthy only of those from
whom it eminated. No such provision
was sought to be engrafted upon the
bilr' by " Abolitionists" or any body
else, nor anything like it. Nor does the
bill as passed contain any such provision,
but on the contrary, it does contain one,
absolutely prohibiting negroes from eK-
ercising these privileges in express terms,
as follows: " But that no slave manu-
United, or hereafter to be manumitted
"shall be entitled to vote at any election,
or be capable of holding any Office of
profit or trust, or of giving evidence
against any white person." The Con-
stitution and Laws of the State contain
similar prohibitions against negroes noc
free. The bill with this provso passed
the House of Delegates and received the
votes of the whole Allegany county Del
egation as will be seen by the House
Journal, page 527--and it is now law.

am a democrat, and one Of those who
have been uWustly denounced and pcrse-

thing else that is wicked. Certain indi-
viduals of this county who are played out
with their own party, are now quite busy
in trying TO get up new party, or more
probably to place themselves at tie head
Of the Democratic party, with hope Of
self preservation. In order that We old
democrats may have the extreme satisfac-
ton of fighting at the tail end, and being
ruled and led by those who have but SO
recently denounced and abused us.
