INFLUENCE OF FOREIGN GOLD

! The Tories of England and OF
Europe generally have avowed their
wish to see the American Union bro
ken into fragments, because, as they
allege, it TIN eatens to overshadow
their power and to give strength to
the Republican and Liberal parties
among their own subjects. We can
understand how a Southern traitor
must rejoice in and sympathize with
this anti-Anerican sentiment, because
his ambition, his prejudices, and the
unholy enterprise in which he is
engaged, all conspire to make him
the ally of European despots But
when Northern man shows similar
procliviIes. whatever his political
antecedents may haye heen, we can
not avoid the suspicion that his
motives are simply base and mercen-
ary. The fellow has been purchased
hy Confederate. British, or French
gold to turn traitor TO his country
and 10 violence to the prejudices of
his education, if such a creature can
he supposed tobe honest and geLe
Gus enough to have prejudices.
We can in no other way account
for the freak of a certain Marshal
Anderson, of Ohio, who declares
that. Il am tired of working for
Yankee taskmasters. 1 hate their
selfish meanness; and, therefore, l
am in favor of Western confeder-
acv" The facts that the Columbus
Crisis and the New York Duly NeWs
endorse that traitor as a sound Dem
ocrat," rather confirms than shakes
this view Of the case. 1t NAV he
that the fellow is Southern enjgre.
bnt if so. the fact only proves him a
coward rs well as traitor 1t woull
prove beyon question. that he is less
anxious to form a Western confeder
aey than to aid in the establishment
of the rebel Southern Confederacy.
and that he is one of those most lie
spicable of all Southern traitors. who
lack the courage to Eight for the |
cause.
The well known mercenary charac
ter of Northern traitors will not
admit of the supposition that they
are acting from conviction Of duty in
blddIng d -fanee to the public will =

men. No expenditure could more
efectually aid the canse Of the rebels
than the hire of demagognes and the
establishment Of newspapers to main
tain their cause in the free States,
under the pretext of asserting the
freedom of speech and press.

Innocence like this is marvellous. Po-
litieians like Mr.. Liucclu are rare 1t is
refreshing to dwell upon such quality
one that was supposed to have persisted
with the end of the Golden Age of the
immaculate. We trust that Mr.. Lincoln
actually cherishes no doubt of his renomi-
nation. 1t may have sounded to him
somewhat like vapid rumor, coming, as
it did, so unexpected. If we trust erro-
neously, let him iisabuse himself ut once
of the doubt. Honestly, we believe that
there is no rational ground for its indul-
gence.

liticans affect about the time that Domi-
mating conventions assemble, is remarka

ure emolumcnt seeming to ignore the
possibility that the conventions which they
have created may do what they have been
sent to do, and vote as they have been
sent to vote; these. delightful specimens
of innocence would have the poor, foolish
old Publ believe that they were in nowse
cognzant of the honors proposed for them,
until the newspapers AMI comnittee-letterS
conveyed to them literal notification.
All such assumptions are superfuous.
The science Of wire-pulling is too thor.

some nominations are made, was drafted
out long before BY the nominee himself,

that these political enthusiasts, these
nominations by acclaim, these sudden i'm
pulsive movements, which are referred to
warm admiration, patriotic reverence, and
an appreciation Of the best interests of the
country, are only the results of unmanly
intrigues, of dust-eating, of irredeemable
promises, and midnight plottings.
When Mr.. Lincoln was recommended

by it, however. Sch pyrotechnics are

The conventions have been hard at work

THE INVASION.

Great excitement was caused in our neighbor-
hood on Sunday afternoon last, by report that
the Confederates were at Cockeysville, in Balti-
more county, and later in the evening they were
reported to he at Towsontown, and marching in
the direction of the Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore railroad. These reports seemed
to be verified By the large number of horses
which were being taken northward out of their
reach.
We are informed that on Monday morning, a
force numbering about ] 90 men, said to be COM
manded by Major Harry Gilmor, made their ap.
pearance at Dampman's Hotel, on the Hartford
Turnpike, about eight miles from this place.
While in this neighborhood party of them went
TO the house of Mr.. Tshmael Day, for the purpose
of taking down flag, and it is said that one
Of them, man named Fields, was shot and
severely wounded by Mr.. Day. Upon hearing
this, the officer in command gave orders for the
destruction of Mr.. Days property, and his house
and barn were accordingly burned
After leaving the turnpike, they proceeded to
Magnolia, where, we learn, they captured and
burned three trains Of cars, did some injury to
the railroad and telegraph, and burned the ware
house. They also set fire 10 Gunpowder bridge
and portion of it was destroyed. On one of
the trains we understand they captured Major
General franklin, together with some other off.
GERS. The General was in citizens dress, and is
said to have been pointed out by lady. The
only other depreciation committed by them was
the capture Of horse and carriage from Mr..
George w. Hall. They left Magnolia during
Monday afternoon, having been occupied some
fve or six hours in their work of destruction.

The following proclamation was issued
on Saturday night:
Citizens of Baltimore We have been
unwilling to create AN unnecessary alaym
or agitation in this COMMUNITY, by any
appeal for your immedia assistance in
resisting the threatened invasion, that
might be deemed premature; but We
have no longer such au apprehension, and
seel no hesitation in declaring that in our
opinion the danger which now threatens
the city is imminent, and if you would
avert it, every loyal man must at once
prepare to meet it.
The invading enemy is by the last 40
counts approaching the city. Men, all
the men that can be raised, are wanted,
TO occupy the Notifications already com.

important how you SHOULD come, but most
important tat you should come at once.
Come in your Leagues, or come in your
militia companies, but come quickly.

forces thus raised, and has been assigned
