Nh. ED.TJR Sir. when the glorious news
reached here that Maryland, my native State,
had proclaimed her freedom my heart throbbed
with inexpressibie joy. And it is with pride
and admiration. that l find she is already
rcapisg the advantages Of her new birth in
the material prosperity which is already man
ifcsting itself. How much more will she not
reap the rich fruits of her MONDAY in the
moral elevation of her people, and in the CON
seriousness of her having done just and
righteous act! And my adopted State, the
great State of Missouri having gone through
the. baptism of blood and in her severe ordeal
having descended into the very depths Of trib-
ulation is now risen again into newness Of life,
regeneratcd and free evermore | was filed
with gladness when | read the congratnation
of Maryland to Missouri. on her release from
bondage and her accession to the Company of
the Free States Her future is suspicious
the black cloud that has so long hung over
her has disappeared, her sky is now clear
and the sun shines in rcfulgent splcndor over
her broad praries through her wide domain.
have done my humble share in the conflict
which is about to cease, and | shall, ever hold
dear the slip of paper upon which is inscri bed
the percmptory order of the Knights of the
Golden Circle that should laeve my adopted
state within three days. and transmit it as
ali heirloom to my children and their chill
dren's children.
We have yet much to do but feel salts
fed that the new regime, which is inaugu
rated in Missouri will accomplish all that is
needed to secure us future peace and pros

beginning and have from all quarters that
thousands are turning their faces toward this

THE IMPENDING DOOM.

Charleston, the Sodom of the Rebellion has
fallen, and Gomorrah, the rebel capitol will
soon share the same fate. The g.sconaling,
lying, thevng murderers who inaugurated
the rebellion. and by an extent Of fraud 4,
and falschood and bood-guiltiucss that al.
mi:s of no parallel in the annals of depravity
and who have thus far, BY one base device
after another, succeeded in dcuding the
minds of the people, are at length about t.
drain to the dregs the bitter cup, which they
had SO artfully mingled for thu free Uhiou-
loving people of the North. What humilia-
ting attitude, before the civilized world do
the South Carolina chivalry now occupy ,
They have ingloriously fed from their boast
full commercial capitol without even firing a
single gun; and the great Gctuian Lioa,
that so boastfully threatened General Shcr-
mans path has basely brushed, and fled from
the State capitol, without, even leaving his
foot print in the last ditch' In addition to
all their other empty pretensons of pride ard
baseness, hey have proved themselves to
be miserable set of poltroons and towards.
The South Carolina aristrocrats and nabobs,
have always been cankcr, and dcformity
on the body polite of the great American
nation. Their fates ire NOW sealed, and they
will perhaps steal away from this land Of free.
dom. to which they have ever since the be.
ginning been curse and disgrace, and
may possibly find some way of escape but il
they do, It will only be to prove themselves
the enemies Of free government wherever they
may go.
The F. F. VS.. of old Virginny, too, art
now trembling in their boots. Under tn,
lead of such scoundrcls as Extra Billy Smith
jim Mason, and Henry A. Wise, they lav,
brought the once respected state of Eirgiui;
to beautiful pass. This III their self est
nation has been done in the exercise Of en-
hghtcned statcsmenship. These wretches ant
their associates have had their day. Thei
deluded followers in their own state WHOM
they have so long cajoled and flattered in tn
arts of treason, will soon have the scale
brushed from their eyes. and before man.
years roll round, the people of Virginia them
selves, will execsate the names aud niemor,
of the men who have brought such overwhel
ming distress upon the once happy state O
Virginia.

UNITED STATES SENATOR.
The Legislature.


| BY reason of the death of Gov. Hicks, the
| Legislature now in session at Annapolis will
be called upon to choose Senator to repre-
sent Maryland in Congress for the next two
years.
Maryland is radically loyal, at least she is
claimed to be so. and the true Union msn Of
the Sta tc insist that no one vf uncertain 10y.
atty shall be chosen to represent them in this
very important capacity at this time. They
have had quite enough of such men in the
person of the other member from Mary land
Reverdy Johnson
Under existing laws the Senator now to be
chosen must come from the Eastern Shore, and
there src quite number of able patriotic
true men in that section from which to elect
We have seen the names of such men AS LIT
Gov. Cox, Hon. John \ j. Creswcll, Hon
Alex. Evans, Hon. II. III. Goldsborough and
Hon. j. Borman Kerr suggested, and whilst
we should prefer DR.. Cox VIC shall be willing
to take either of these gentlemen.
We understand, however that strong ef-
fort is being made, by isnuring all the past
history of Maryland since the organization of
the Government, to elevate Montgomery Blair,
late of Missouri, but now claiming kind Of
mystical residence in Montgomery County,
Maryland, to this position.
This gentleman we understand, has gone
to Annapolis in person, to look after his in
terest, and in fact we are told himself peuncd
the message that was sent to the Senate last
week by order of the House, proposing to 90,
into an election before caucus of the Union
members could be held on the subject. We
are sorry that SO many Union men fell into a
trap spread for them by a t'ictSter politician
aided by the entire secession vote oft the House
The Senate by Il straight vote of Union men
against the Sccessonists, aicled by Senator
Whitney IF Baltimore city, have squelched
the thing for the present, and given time for
consideration We presume IL caucus of the
Union members in accordance with all usage,
VIII now DC nclu anu n man CHOSEN Tor lnlS
position without the aid of dsloyal votes.
We respectfully suggest to the Legislature
of Maryland that Montgomery Blair is not
the man that the people of Maryland desire
shonld represent them in the United States
Senate at this time. The very course he is
pursuing to- get the position should be reason
why every Usion man should ignore him.
Any man who could so far forget all the
common prophecies of life. so far forget the
common deccnces of Gfc as to 90 himself to
the appointing power, himself pen the neces-
sary message, and himfelf work the political
machinery necessary to elevate himself to Of
flee before his honored predecessor was cold
in his grave, we earnestly submit is not fit
person to occupy so exalted and honorable
position as United States Senator. /
We much question, too, whether Mr.. Blair
has such residence in Maryland as is required
bv our constitution TO make him eligible to
this position.
