ciples adopted We propose now TO uo,ice

members Of the COMMITTEES though, is action an
outrage upon the Union party, and called upon
the eogaiies TO send delegates TO a State Conven-
lion. This call was needed by almost every
county 10 the State. and the Convention was
bsld, composed Of gentlemen Of ability and un-
doubted loyalty. but yet they are /" boliers "
and disorgauizrrs -
Another rssolu,lon recommends the formation
u johnson aud Swami Clubs in the several dis
trieis Of the county, and suggest Saturday. the
llsh instant as proper day 10 Psrfsc, such or
CARNATIONS. Here IL smother instance Of ''repu-
diation." Johnson Clubs have already been
formed, in al the districts. We believe. and We
have the ASSURANCE Of the Journal that the call
for the meetings TO form these clubs was made
by Union men, or ihoss who voted always with
ths Union party, and for Sir. Swami for Cover
aos. Is oil this work 70. be gone over or arc We
10 have two sets Of " johnson Ciubs'r Perhaps
he fret Of these supposisicns Is correct, aud that

isting differences In the material composing the
Clubs. That strange diversity Of opinion ex.
lets amoag the various Clubs l. Witnessed BY
= comparison Of the meetings In the 9Th and esh
Districts In the Fourth District, nearly ell the
0tiiosrs u the Johnson meeting were nvegiawsd
rstsis, while In The Sixth none WEIR admitted
who WE'RE not registered. But yet the resolutions
adopted BY the two nssiings are nsary identical I;
both praise Presldsnt johnson aud Gov. Swami,
both desouncs the Registry law. Perhaps the
Esntlemen Of the Committee intend TO Disregard
the action already had 10 forming johnson clubs
as " unauthorized and disOrganizing," and In
tsnd 70 form nsw ones under their especial pa
tronage.
Thsss resolutions claim 70 be the sentiment Of
sVerisy Of the unlen Executive commis,ss Of
Baltimore county. This NE smphatieallS deny.
