CLUBBING Observation-Disclosures Stew
ems of Pennsylvania, the Abolition leader
of the lower House of Congress, in a late
speech said The ordinance of secession
adopted by each State that seeded. de-
elared their separation to be final" and
he contends that "to say that during the
war those States were in the Union. is to
utter IN a~bsurdity." Then, agreeably to
Mr.. Stevens own argument, the prinei-
pie of secession is admitted. Yet his "
party declare that to accept the doctrine
that a State can seeede is reasonable.
Mr.. Stevens is therefore convicted of
treason by the very party of which he is
a conspicuous leader. To grant the prin-
ciple of secession must carry with 1t the
right of any State to determine whether
it shall OF shah not secede for itself, for
it is manifest hat other States, or the
General Government, cannot 'seeede" it
they cannot even expel it from the Union.
And if State can secede, and its separa-
ton from the Union therefore becomes
final, it stands t.. reason that it is utterly
impossible for any of its citizens to COM
NIT treason against the Union-just as
impossible as it is for a citizen of the
United States to commit treason against
England-should the two countries be at
war with each other. Mr.. Stevens is
proving too much for his own party. His
argument would acquit JEFF. Davis at once

WHAT A QUESTION The Statesman
copies the following paragraph from our
last issue:
The States of California and Oregon have
both nulIiied the act of the Abolition Con
gress which declared legal tender notes a
lawful tender for all debts, public and pri-
waite. except those especially mentioned in
the act. ana these came not within the pur-
view of the State enactments.
And then asks:
In what respects have these States nulliie9
the act referred TOP
All We have to say in reply is, that we
cannot be expected to furnish brains to
that paper; that if its editor cannot see
that, for a State to declare a currency not
n legal tender, when Congress declares
that it IS a legal tender, is notification
we give him up as hopeless. His delin-
quent subscribers or debtors might pFac-
~ticaliy illustrate the thing to him, by pay
ing him up in legal tender notes at par.
After what he asks, we would as soon un-
dertake 10 wash Lawson, as to try to con-
vince him that is and is not are not sy-
nonymous.

one of the candidates nominated by the Conven-
ton, and he will not only yindieate the just
claims which his party principles demand of him,
but will also have the consciousness of knowing
that he has not been detranded of bis vote. lie
cannot be too particular in this respect, as we
are satisfied from the information received from
every District in the County, that in no other
manner can the so-callcd Independent ticket re-
ceive a shadow of support from Union men.
The ticket presented for your votes, is compo-
sed of gentlemen in every way worthy of your
confidence, men who have been long and favora-
bly, known to you and against whose private or
political character not q single word can be just
~ uttered. Some of them--ihe County Commits
sioners, have served you with ability and fideli-
ty and have so conducted the affairs of the Coun-
ty as to husband your resources and maintain
single eye to the public interests.
The candidate for Judge, needs no commenda-
ton from us. His character wherever known, his
legal bearing, his affable and courteous manner
and his great fidelity aud punctualty in the dis
charge of the duties of his Office, commend him
to every loyal voter 1t may with equal truth
be said OF the candidates for Sheriff, Treasurer

We publish to-day +" circular signed "Jus-
tice, y showing upon what grounds Mr.. Grason
asks the votes Of the people of the county. We
ask for tia careful perusaI. Loyal men Of the
county know his record too well to be easily be-
guided BY the plausible statements of Justice. {"
THE fact Of his Registration does not wipe out
that record II does not control any person s
opinion The Registers OF any other district
might have rejected him, and probably would
have done so.
fhesfemarks about Judge Emory aud the in
situation that he holds his Office without legal
right, are in the highest degree impudent and in
sultiug to Mr.. Emory and his friends, as well as
to the Legislature who declared Mr.. Grason in
eligible. q Justice u makes the best of bad

Beware OF spurious lTIckets..

A friend informs us that he saw a ticket in the
hands of a man of very doubtful, loyalty, With
Mr.. Grason's name at the lead Ifos Judges and
the remainder filled up with the names of the
Regular Union Candidates This is cone of the
old Copperhead tricks, intended to deceive honest
Union voters. They are extremely anxious to
secure Mr.. Grason's election, They care more
for that than they do for the balance Of the tick
ct. And by putting the names of ourentireican-
didates on the same ticket with Grason, they
make parade of Unionism and loyalty which
is calculated to deceive the unsuspocting. Let
every voter on election day examine well his
ticket before putting it in the ballot box, and see
that none but the right mem are on it,s sloodg

Z TO Soldiers.

! For four long and weary years, you have been
fighting against armed traitors in the field. You
were victorious, and now you have resumed the
peaceful avocations of civil life. Don't forget
that it is your duty to watch the advances and
manoeuyres of our common enemy at home as
vigilan,ly as ever YOU stood guard on the outer
picket post of the Union lines. The same prin-
icples are at stake, the same enemy is to be met.
Doa't vote contrary to what you have been fight
ing for. And therefore we urge you to use all
your power and influence against Mr.. Grason,
whose record throughout the county is too well
known to need any further ventilation. Be sure
your ticket is headed with the name Of Hon. D.
c. H. Emory, the Regular Union nominee.

Withdrawn from the contest, and exercised bis

/ Whatever question may have heretofore exist

settled BY his giving up all his friends and all

fed on account of hostility to the Union, to oc-
cnpy the position OF Judge.

A CAUTION.

iWillyou allow me, Aessrs. Eltors through
your columns TO call the attention of the Union
men OF baltimore county, to a tNell planned
scheme, that will be practiced at the approach
ing election by our opponents, and which, ifsuc-
eesstplIy managed even to limited extent, may
defeat our Union nominee for Judged. G. II.
EMORY, Esq.
Let me say to every Union voter-Be on your
guard. You will be approached by Democrat
with language OF this import :-"I will vote for
Mr.. Harvey for Sheriff, il you will vote for Mr..
Grason for Jldge."- will be in Mr.. Har-
vey's district. In Mr.. Jockeys district it will
be, ~ will vote for Mr.. Cockey for Commission
err, If you will vote for Mr. Grason, and SO it will
be all over the county, but more particua rly in
those districts where the Union nominees reside
and where II is known many voters are swayed
by personal considerations. Now l call upon
you tospurn neutrality-suspicious. as base, impudent
reflections upon your honesty and integrity, as
Union MEN. What care they for the gentlemen
named on the Independent ticket For is it not
plain to your comprehension, that their object in
epticing those gentlemen to run in opposition TO
the regular nominees, il purely of selfish char
acter2 They want capital to trade on, AMI
they have got it. And predict that the Inde-
pandent ticket will be the most thoroughly
SCRATCHED ticket that ever came out OF Ballot
box, scratched in every instance for the benefit of
of Mr., Grason and Mr.. Grason alone
! ! ! hayenothing to say against Mr.. Grason. -
He is gentleman Of excellent legal attachments,
and under other circumstances would no doubt
receive a fattering vote. That he has made a
mistake in allowing his name to be used ut this
time is clear TO his best friends, many of whom
Iknowi would like to see him withdraw even at
this late day. But whether he withdraws or not,
it is the plain duty OF every Union man to see
TINT his neighbor does not fall into the trap set
for him, that Of y swapping names"
! AS Baltimore county man, | feel proud of
the opportunity Of voting for such man as d.
o.. H. Emory for Judge. he is plain, consist
apt, Christian gentlemen, with clear head and
good heart. { He received the unanimous vote
of the convention, which nominated him, and
that without management on bis part, aud
hold that the man who allows his name to be
STRICKEN from the ticket is unworthy Of being
called Union man. 3lo4ea Honesty.

Next Tuesday is electio n day. and we hope ev-
efysg fiiofl man will make it point to 60 to the
Polls and use his vote and his influence in sup
port of the Regularly Nominated Union Ticket
This is the ticket which we advocate, and which,
we helieye,all conscientious Union men should
supp6rtdIf theIhdependentt ticket had any claims
on the loyal voters Of the county, it has lost them
all, by discarding our present. honest and efficient
Judge, and substituting for him, man whom
the Legislature declared ineligible TO the position
by reasondof idisloyaIty. Let there be no tam
pering with suspected loyalty Letit not be said
that The honest people Of Baltimore county, de-
feated 50 capable and deserving man as Judge
Emory by the election of one who, whatever his
legal abilities may be- has too suspicious record
to be elevated to so important position as Judge
of ,ahe Circuit Court
The men presented to you on the Regular Union
ticket are good men. You can make no mistake
in voling for them. Their most active opponents
dare not say one word against their private char
aeier or their public capacity. Why should you
throw them aside and vote for men who can be
no better. aud who have tainted their cause by
an uhdue familiarity with those in our midst who
have been persislenty hostile to the Union, and
Who daring the fierce struggles Of the past four
years, have given all their sympathy and encour-
aeement to the enemies of our common country

With the close of the war and the relaxation
OF military authority the old spirit Of Copper
headism is manifestng itself anew. Those men
in our midst who gave the rebellion all the aid
which, in their secret, cowardly way, they dared
to do, are now coming forth from, their hiding
places, to which they were temporarily driven
by the strong arm Of national authority. Though
they failed in their criminal efforts to sever the
Union, the first thing they want on its re-estab-
lishment is Office The thirst for office is really
their "last ditch 1t was this that took them
into the rebellion, ii is this that makes them now
put on the outward form of loyalty. To place
themselves in power, all their old, corrupt party
machinery is promptly put to work, and they
are already practcing the same wicked arts with
which they deceived the people and placed them
selves in office in days gone by. With a display
of loyalty that sounds oddly enough when COM
pared with their past history, and by the aid Of
a few misguided Union men among us, they have
laid plan for securing the Judgeship to one Of
their number. They don't expect 10 do this By
fair means or on an open Issue with the people.
They expect to force the movement down the peo-
pies throats in a sly way, with a good sugar
coating of loyalty, asa nurse administers her
bitter doses to an unsuspecting child. And Hence
they have printed ticket headed By Mi. Grasoh
and containing underneath, the names Of every
candidate in the field except Judge Emory's.i n
These tickets will be used among Union lmenr
snd in this way many an unsuspecting vote will
be cast for Grason. 1t is really a 'sGrason ticks
et.' He is the only Copperhcad candidate in
the field. What does he or what do his friends
care who get the other offices Nothing. Ora,
son is the man they are working for, and so our
misguided friends of the independent movements
who have allowed themselves to be tackled to the
skirts of his garments will discover. otn 'sfi'9
Now we call upon the Union men Of the conn
ty to beware Of this Comprehend scheme, Turn
out in yonr strength and defeat this amalgamated
ticket which seeks to elevate Richard Grason, to
the Judgeship. Examine web lyour5 ticket and
see that Mr.. Emorys maine headsIitj Bevigilaht,
