Release Them.

There are quite number of persons, both
white and black, in the penitentary and
other prisons of Maryland for the violations
of the late slave code of the State, who since
the Ubiquitous relic of barbarism has been
abolished, should be released from impris-
onment. Governor Bradford, no doubt, has
the power to pardon them, but there Is lit.!u
probability of his doing so as his consttu-
tional conservatism will induce him to shift
the responsibility of so radical a proceeding
upon the shoulders of his successor. What
Governor Swann's views upon the subject
are, or what he will do IN the premises, we
do not know; but Justice and Humanity
demand the earliest practicable release of
every man and woman now in prison in Ma
ryland for violations of the slave code
When the barbarous code was wiped from
our statute books, everything appertaining
thereto went with it and these men and
women are now unjustly wearing away their
lives in prison, for offences unknown to the
law.
AS soon rs the Legislature meets in Janu-
airy, We trust one of the first acts passed by
1t, will be one for the unconditional release
from confinement Of all persons imprisoned
for offences committed against the defunct
slave code. We owe it as duty to these
prisoners that they should be released. like
men, instead Of being pardoned as crimi
nails; and as Governor Bradford has not
seen fit to pardon them, we urge the Legis
lature to give the subject their earliest at
tention, and trust Governor Swami will not
forget to mention it in his Message. Shall
these victims of Injustice and oppression be
released, or must they continue to rot out
their lives IN prison cells? That's the ques-
tion to be considered by an enlightened pub
lie sentiment. What say you, men of Free
Maryland?

DECEMBER I6, 1865.


We notified our readers, last week, that
we intended to make every effort to capture
that busaboo, known by The Democrat as a
Clique, and if it were of n truth composed
Of flesh and blood we were sure to catch it,
but we have to report no visible signs of the
monster. We have therefore settled down
to the conclusion that the famous "Clique"
of The Democrat is entirely myth.
We hope our neighbor has learned wisdom
by its deplorable failure in this "Clique"
speculation. If it is capable of reflection
it will have learned that mere bootless asser
tons, put forth without vcstige of truth or
evidence to substantiate them, are not swal
lowed by the people without examination
that the public it attempted to gull with this
stupid fiction is not so eullible as that organ
supposed; that the people of this county are
not to have SANDER OF the Union party
imposed upon them by lame apologist of
secession and the shareholders conspiracy.
That journal has shown that its shameless
and interruptions disregard of truth and
honesty, was only equaled by its stupidity.
After slanderng, by all the vile inuen.o.
and falschoods it could conceive. the Union
party and Mr.. Crawford, it had the mean
ness to refuse the publication of a card from
that gentlemen, denying the falsehoods it
had wantony heapcd upon him. and calling
for some facts to support such charges as it
had published again and again.
10 show what credit the public attach to
the eXtravagant statements put forth by that
journal, one universal demand from the pco-
pie went up to the County Commissioners
for the rc-appointment Of Mr. Crawford, as
Clerk, and he received the appointment from
the Board on Tuesday last, and this vilest
attempt on the part Of The Cecil Democrat
to traduce and blackcn the reputation of a
private citizen, has met what it Justly de,
served, universal reprobation. In the his
tory Of journalism there has seldom appear
cd case where such wanton and inexcusa.
BILE effort has been made to blacken and
blast reputation; and never was there a
more signal failure.
This campaign of TIE Democrat against
the "Clique' very much resembles Don
QulXott's attack on the wind mils-thc re.
suit to the attacking parties being about the
same in both cases.

Mexican Affairs.

The following Resolutions have been in
troduced in the Senate by Mr.. Wade and in
the House of Representatives by General
Schcnck:
Vhere0S, In letter of instructions dated
july 3, 1862, directed to General Forey
commanding the French forces in Mexico,
the Emperor of the French indicated the
policy concerning the affairs of this continent
by declaring that it was his intention to es.
tabllsh monarchy in Mexico, which would
restore to the Latin race on this side Of the
Atlantic strength and prestige: guarantee
security to the French West India colonies
and those of Spain; secure the interests and
establish the influence of France in the cen
ter of America; and prevent the people Of
+he United States from taking possession of
the Gulf of Mexico. from which they would
command the Antilles and South America :
and so become the only dispensers of the
products Of the New World and
whereas, In pursuance of said policy an
attempt has been made to establish a mon
archy III Mexico, contrary to the wishes of
the people, and to support Macmillan in his
usurpation by European soldiers: Ind

spirit of the age and humanity, the so called

established slavery in his domnions; and
by Decree dated October 3, 1865, has vio-
lated the usagcs Of civilized warfare by de-
nying to the Mexican Republican troops the
rights Of belligcrcnts. and ordering their ex.
ecution wherever found within twenty four
hours after capture: Therefore be it
Resotred By the Senate and House Of
Representatives Of tile United States IN Con.
gress assembled,
First. That we contemplate the present
condition of affairs in the Republic Of Mex
leo with the most profound solicitudc.
Seco"d. That the attempt to subjugate one
of the republican governments of this CON
tncnt by foreign power and to establish
on its ruins monarchy, sustained solely by
European bayonets, is opposed to the de
clarcd policy of the United States Govern,
ment, offensive to our people, and contrary
to the spirit of our institutions.
Third. That the President of the United
States be requested to take such steps con
corning this grave matter as will indicate the
recognized policy and protect the honor and
interests Of our Government

The Time to square Un.

There Is no better time in the .!mcrrv
round year to settle accounts and square
up business, in order to begin the New Year
right, and in business-likc manner, than
at the end Of the old, and commencement
OF the New, Year. The Government re.
cures every man TO render to the assessor
OF ms district an account of his profits and
cams for the past year; and without adjust
ing his accounts properly paying his debts
and collecting his dues, he cannot do this.
Every business man should make il a
point to settle up all his floating accounts at
the years end. And in order to make this
n business maXim-a rule not to be departed
from-he should begin by paying all such
little bills that he owes, and then he can
consistently insist on debtors settling thei.
accounts will! him.
Country printers are most unfortunate in
'.ay;ng numbers Of small bills outstanding
for subscriptions, printing and advertising
This is unavoidable with them. Persons
send their advertisements by mail, frequent,
", and not knowing the cost, await the bill
when the work is done, and in nine cases
out Of ten the bill is thrown aside till some
more convenient season. That ''more con
venient season. is often a great while pre-
senting itself under the present loose and
irregular system of managing business but
if the last Of the year was dedicated by every
business man to the settlement of all run.
ming and small accounts, he would find him.
self the gamer by it, and the whole commu-
'nunity would be corrcspondingly benefited
thereby.
Now, the way to inaugurate this much
needed reform is for every man to begin it
by paying off all small and running accounts
he owes, and insisting, at the same time, on
others paying up who are indebted to him.
We intend to serve notices on as many of
our patrons as we can, who are in arrears,
and we want all who have any accounts
against us to present them asnear the end
of the year as possible Now those who
may receive such bills are not to understand
that they are merely intended for idle cere.
mony; but that they are expected to settle
them up by paying the amounts stated or
showing satisfactory cause for not doing so.
We earnestly advise every man in the
county to adopt this mode of transacting
business, on next New Year day, inaugural.
| ing it in the manner above-named, and he
will, most assuredly, find himself richer in
mind and pocket at the end of the next
year. The only way to begin successful
reform is by doing right yourself and then
asking your neighhors to do likewise, which,
in the case under consideration, is to pay
what you owe, and insist strongly on others
paying you your dues. This mode of living
on other peoples money by putting off from
month to month, and year to year, the pay
ment Of small debts and running accounts is
the greatest drawback and check to country
business that exists. Pay what U. O. is a
golden motto.

In the L. S. Senate on Monday, Mr.
Wilson. of Massachusetts, presented the pc
tltion of Francis Cook and =, 800 other col
ored citizens of the District of Columbia,
asking for the right of suffrage. The petit
TONERS set forth that a large proportion of
the District are property holders and tax
payers. They claim that as they are sufi
GENTLY intelligent to build and sustain
churches and institutions of learning, and
to accumulate property, they are also sufi
GENTLY intelligent to vote; that for years
they have been obliged not only to educate
their own children, but to contribute to the
support of the schools in which only white
children were taught that the record of the
colored people as to crime and paupersm is
as fair as any other class in the country; that
out of population of less than $1,000 they
sent $500 soldiers into the field, while the
white population, over 10000, furnished
only 1900, and the colored soldiers volun-
tered without the incentives of large boun-
ties, pay or promotion. Referred to the
Committee on the District of Columbia
In the House, on Thursday, a resolution
declaring that treason against the United
States Government is crime that ought to
be punished was adopted by unanimous
vote of 1913 ayes. A resolution was offered

The Government is rapidly reducing its
expenses. On the LIST of July, of this year,
the Quartermaster's Department at Wash.
ngton employed two thousand two hundred
persons. Seventeen hundred persons have
been discharged since that time, leaving at
present but five hundred employed. On
July LIST, $3.50, 900 was necessary to pay the
employees, but now 500, 900 is sufficient
Last winter, in the Department, ten thous-
and cords of wood were consumed, but so
far this winter but nine hundred cords have
been given out.
The Republican Senators have agreed
to support the House resolutions, in an
amended form, in reference to committee
being appointed to examine into the condi-
ton of the Southern States and determine
which are fitted to be represented in Con-
gress.
