nousE OF REFUGE.

Some time since the City Council donated
to the Board of Managers under the aet TO
establish House of Relugean entire square
of ground between Eighth and Ninth and
du Pont aud Lincoln Streets aud also the
sum of two thousand dollars, with which
the association might commence the cree
ton of suitable building for the confine-
ment and reformation of juvenile delin-
quents About the same time the Levy
Court of the County appropriated three
thousand dollars towards the same object
This sum, however, is certainly inadequate
to carry into effect the projected enterprise
the establishment of an institution where
juvenile offenders may be placed not only
Tor safe keeping, but where they may be
reformed Of their evil habits, and sent forth
as good citizens.
The Board of Managers held meeting
on Wednesday afternoon, and appointed
His Honor Mayor Valentine, Hon. Joshua
Mars and David Chandler, II committee To
wait upon the citizens OF the county for sub
scriptions to assist IN their laudable and
humane undertaking. They desire to raise
| ten thousand dollars 10 insure the success OF
the enterprise, and we trust that their appeal
for aid will meet with generous response,
There is no person who is not convinced
that n great necessity exists for such an
institution. Large numbers OF youth infesl
our city and other portions OF the County
who are constantly committing depreciation.
upon the people. These young offender,
are arrested and brought before our Courts
where they are discharged because there i.
no law by which they can be punished
They are again turned loose upon the com
munitY and resume their old practices
They will soon become adopts in Grim,
unless checked in their career, and place.
where some regard will be had for theiI
moral and intellectual training. 1t is from
such material that burglars, robbers anc
assassns are made, and any institution
that will prevent this condition of thing
in our County, appeals strongly to th'
generous support of our people, not only
As n police arrangement, but in moral poin
of view 1t is duty we owe to these poo
little wretches, who, by force of crcumstan
ces, in many instances are driven into Tia,
path of crime, that they should have some
place provided where they can he kept away
from the temptations that beset them on
every side in life, and where they can hnv,
an opportunity to reform their bad habits
The committee should have no trouble ii
raising the amount needed We believe
the public are so well convinced of il
utility, that the appeal will meet with
hearty response from every christian ant
phlanthropist in the County.

MARYLAND.-The Baltimore Am@icam in
an able article on the result OF the late
election in that State, says:
"lhe Republican party OF Maryland must
now array itself against the Democratic
party of Maryland, The principles ON
which our opponents will meet US in future
contests will be those Of the Woods, the
Morisseys and the Pendlctons OF the North,
and the unrepeniant rebels of The South.
We have carried the four western counties
OF the State, and can reasonably hope, two
years hence, TO add Baltimore city, and
Cecil and Somerset counties, 10 the list OF
those who will stand TO the principles of the
loyal men OF the nation. All that is requir-
ell is Il persevering determination to battle
for the right, and Maryland may soon be
recovered, never To be lost again"

IRON HEEL ON THE DECLARATION
OF INDEPENDENcE.-The New, York
Journal of Commerce seems TO think
the Declaration oe Independence is
qualified by the necessities of govern
ment. It says;
The right of self-government was
asserted, on the faith Of the Declara-
ton of Independence, by the people of
the Southern States, and the great ne
cessities of government met the asser-
tion, and in the end of long and ter
rible civil war, annihilated it. It thus
became necessary for the nation which
was born July A, I776, and baptized
with blood in the struggle for indepen-
dence, to crush with iron heel the too
free Interpretation of the doctrines that
gave it birth.
So thought George III, It's the old
story, Mr,J. It makes a great deal Of
difference, in this world, whose bull il
was that gored the OK.
