/ REnELLroUs SPIRIT.

ses- The organ Of the Republicans
in Frederick, q paper claiming "the
largest circulation Of any country news
paper Id the State" and we presume Of
correspondingly greater influence, says
that auntil these gentlemen the dis
franchised) manifest less retsRious
spirit, a much better temper, We cannot
see any probability Of their obtaining
the restoration of their Justly forfeited
privileges" Whilst the faction which
this journal represents claim the right
to legislate for the State, and its adbe-
rents spit their cnyenomed bitterness
upon their ncighbors, it is rcbett'oas
and iu-tempered for those neighbors to
make even the most feeble protest
against the heavy burden laid upon
them by these would-be masters. We
would remind all such that "taxation
without representation was q subject
which originated lively spirit of re-
belliou opposition on this continent less
than hundred years ago. The OPP
prcssor in this instance was respect
able old lady known as "Mother Eng
land" And We would tell them that
the principle Of antagOnism to tyranny
then laid down by the fathers has de-
scended to the children. Such infringe
ments Of the peoples liberties as the
Maryland Registry Law might some
day occasion another interesting little
tea party"
Whether tho men who framed that
law, and made Il "sn exact transcript Of
the Constitution" win modify their
work, under tho pressure of an out
ragged public opinion, win soon be ap
parent All eyes are turned towards
them. Should they fail to redress this
grievance, and instead spend their time
and the public money in other un.
righteous legislation, il wilIthen remain

MORE PROTECTION.

esV-The good people of Buffalo. n.
Y, are complaining at the cxtrayagantly
high price they have TO pay for coal
They assert that the article can be laid
down in that city ut 81 per ton, and at.
ford the owners Of the mines good
profit, whereas they are compelled 10
pay Sl5 the ton. Tho additional 81
per ton is the result Of the prohibitory
or Protectue Tariff levied on foreign
coal, and is just that much over and
above an honest and fair profit extorted
from the pockets Of the consumer for
the benefit of a privileged few. Not
content with this, they are still clamor-
ing for more protection.
10 this county there are many well
to do and thrifty farmers and mechan-
les, not few of whom have attained
their present positions from very hum
bic beginnings. This has been accom-
plished, too, without their being the
bene6ciarics of any special legislation in
their fayor--uaoided By any protection.
The foreigner can send here his wool
to come in competition with that raised
by our farmers, and a protective duty
is never dreamed Of in his behalf nor
does he presume to ask it, feeling in
the honesty Of his heart that he should
rely upon his own exertions, and not
like the Massachusetts, manufactures
and their allies. the coal men Of Penn.
sylvania, prove burthen and clog upon
their fellows. When they can no longer,
with q profit, raise wool as cheap as
their foreign competitors they will direct
their efforts and capital in some other
channel rather than fatten upon contri.
buttons wrung from other classes under
the elusory title Of protection, Their
spirit of Independence is too vivid to
permit themselves to be forever foisted
upon the charity of others for support.
That these manufacturers and coal
men coeld, if they were content with
reasonable profits, and slow, but honest
accretions, as our farmers and mechan-
les, prosper without being burthen,
upon society, there can beno reasonable
doubt. They have so long lived apriv-
ileged class--been SO much pampered,
petted and protected, that they yet ex-
! pect and demand more protection.

THE RrcIsTRY LAW.

B@-That the Incorporation 81 pros
vision in our State Constitution for the
Registration Of voters, and the law en-
q cted thcreundcr, wasthe result of Bit
ter passion, and the work Of bigoted
partizans, is selfevident. Deliberate
craftsmanship or pure patriotism could
never have conceived anything SO Anti.
Republican and contrary to the spirit
and intentions Of our free institutions
Let us calmly examine the principle
involved--sec what it may lead to, and
who may be byit affected. To the law
a penalty is. attached, That penalty
disiranchisement, deprivation of the
dearest rights of an American citizen.
And what constitutes the offence tor
which so direful penalty is to be in
ficted? The offence, forsooth, is dar-
ing to have an opinion or sympathy of
your own---thc audacity to have an in
dependent thought or wish--the pre-
sumption to entertain or express a SEN
timent unpalatable to the ruling dynas-
ty. And this in 'ithc land Of the free
in tolerant Maryland---in an age of civ
ilization, progress and enlargement,
when the mind and the conscience, as
well as the body, should be unshacklcd
and set free.
The principle is radically wrong, and
if once fairly aud finally established will
be productive Of evil incalculable. II
the right is acknowledged that penalties
may be attached and punishment In
fiictcd for opinions, sentiments or sym.
pathies, or that they constitute crime,
or may be made by legal enactment,
there is no limit, no bounds 10 which il
may not be carried no sect, class, call.
ing or denomination that may not, soon
er or later, fall under the ban Of dis
pleasure, and be called TO account before
a tribunal Of zealots who have already
prejudgcd the case. The right once
conceded to control your opinions by
any punishment or penalty whatsoever,
acknowledges the right to substitute
for that Of acknowledgements the penalty

started in New England, Of course, and
copies have been sent to Tennessee, as
well as to other States. The memorial
sets forth that it is incompatible with
our form of Government Ito permit tho
President TO assume to himself the pow
er Of reconstructing government in the
late rcbellious States. and of prescribing,
according to his own mere will, the
terms upon which they and their rebel
lious people shall again be admitted into
the Union, and allowed to enjoy the
protection OF its laws aud the privilege
of its Government" Mr.. Lincoln was
clothed by these same men with power
to abrogatc even the Constitution itself.
They state that the President, by
pursuing his own impracticable and
ruinous scheme, has given the lie TO all
his former professions; has Knocked at
and insulted justice and law, degraded
the dignity Of his great Office, and is, so
far as he can, restoring to all their for.

of tho Republic, and arming them anew
with power, as lift we're his purpose TO

The memorial further says: ITO

conditions that carry with them the
germs Of another civil war, the under.

NEW York, Feb. 1.-THE Heralds Vera Cruz
dispatches TO the 1st inst. state that there was
great activity in French military affairs at Vera
Cruz, but not Of character to indicate an early
evacuation of the country by the Europeans.
French troops in large numbers were arriving at
Vera Cruz from the interior and embarking on
transports 1t is understood they were bound for
the defence of Tampieo which seriously threat
ened by the Republicans, and it was even init
mated that they were intended for the frontier
service on this side of the line Of the Panuene
river, in order to be there in readiness to meet
and check the advance of the allies, the Liberals
in Mexico and from the United States There
was a rumor that the Imperialists bad already
been compelled to surrender Tampico, though an
account of servere defeat of the Republicans in
the vicinity of that city comes to us by way of
New Orleans.
Large quantities of military stores were still at
Vera Cruz and being sent into the interior, and an
Imperial train valued at 100000 was recently
captured by the Republicans.
The report of the commission appointed by
Gen. Weitzel to investigate the Bagdad affair,
shows clearly that no United States officers were
connected with the raid, and Gen. Crawford is
charged with being its instigator and director.
The testimony taken by the commission was very
extensive. 81 H|H.

Mill Zachary was arrested yesterday by the
detective police, on South Cherry street,
near Broad. He is from eighteen to twenty
years of age, and has been concerned in
many Of the robberies and crimes commit
ted in this city within the past year.
We mentioned, some days since, that a

Laundry had been stolen, and that negro
had been arrested charged with committing
the crime. ii is now stated that Zach
airy stole the horse apd delivered him to this
negro, on the Franklin pike, and that the

some time since. This firm lost $1,000 in
goods, of which 5000 were afterwards recoy-
cred. He will be tried before Esquire Mea-
