Contrast--The Maryland Legislature and
Congress.

A few years SINCE Gen. Mcclellan, under the
direct orders of President Lincoln, arrested the
members of the Maryland legislature and dispers-
that body, on the ground OF mere suspicion only,
that they might do something, in their legislative
capacity, to break up or impair the integrity of
the American Union.
Times are changed since then. Now, the con-
gress OF the United States, or a body, with some
patriotic exceptions, is at work, and has been
for months past, with deliberate malice and
premeditated treason, to destroy the consttu-
ton, revolutionize the government decree the
dissolution of the federal Union, establish the
principle that taxation may be imposed without
corresponding representation, and congress may
hold organized states in subsection and prov incial
dependency, by a systematzed military despot-
ism, without allowing them any of the constitu-
honai rights which appertain to states. The
treason which Lincoln only apprehended and
feared, in the case of the Maryland legislature, is
now actual and rea! in congress. Lincoln only
feared the legislature of Maryland might at
tempt, what congress is actually doing, openly
and boldly from day to day. If it had not been
for the resolute courage and patriotic determine
ton of Andrew johnson, the people of the Uni
ted States would not have known, or been able
to recognize, their old constitutional republic,
by the end of September 1866, so completely
would it have been revolutiouized OuincU Her

Hon. MIR. MoultOn, of Illinois.

Samuel W. Moulton was elected to con-
gresss from Illinois, in November, 1864, to
represent the state sat large" the state be-
ing entitled to one more representative than
there were districts under the apportionment
made by the legislature. Two years before,
Mr.. Moulton was candidate on the republi
can ticket in the tenth district, where he
was beaten by q majority of just 6,547. His
defeat in this contest was his claim for the
nomination he received in 1864. He preten-
ded to be q "war democrat" and wanted
some recognition of his patriotism" in de-
serting the regular democratic organisation,
with which he had been somewhat promi
nently identified for many years. In the
state legislature he had been one of the most
jealous partisans of what the abolitionists
called the pro-slavery school, and had to be
frequently demonstrated with BY his political
associates for his intolerance towards the o2-
posite party. His constant desire to apply
the gag-lsw to his opponents won for him the
nickname of "Old Previous" a. he was con
tinuaily moving the previous question,
and trying to choke of the republicans by
