Only one step more remained 10 be taken.--
jefferson aud the leading statesmen of his day held
fast to the idea that the ensavement Of the Airi-

The new school was founded exactly upon the op-
poste idea; and they resolved first to distract the
democratic party for which the Supreme Court
had now furnished the means, and then to establish
anew government, with negro slavery for its cor
ner-stone, as socially, morally and politically right

DESPAIR on rnt MEN OF inE REVOLUTION.
The hope prevailed in Virg ala that the aboli-
ton Of the siage trade would bring with il the
gradual abolition OF slavery but the expectation
was doomed to disappointment. In supporting
incipient measures for emancipation, Jefferson
countered difficulties greater than he could over
come and after vain wrestlings, the words tha-
broke from him, " l trenble for nv country when
reflect that God is Just, that His justice cannot
sleep forever were words of despair. 1t the
desire OF Washington's heart that Virginia should
remove slavery by public act and as the pros
poets of general emancipation grew more and
more dim he, in utter hopeessness OF the action of
the State, did all that he could by hequcathng

had, from the day of l776 proposed to colonize
the negro in the home OF his ancestors. But the
idea OF colonization was Thoughts TO increase the
difficulty of emancipation; and in spite Of strong
support, while 1t accomplished much good for AT
rica, it proved impracticable as remedy at home.

The object of the Copperheads.


The great object of the Copperhead party in
trying to obtain control of the Legislation Of
this State is to impose TAX upon our people
ofTHIRTY-FIVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS to
pay dsloyal owners for emancipated slaves.
This would DOUBLE our State tax for at least
FORTY YEARS reduce real estate at least fifty
per cent. in value; drive emigration from the
State, and place Maryland backward twenty
years in the scale of progress and improvement.
Taxpayers Of Baltimore county, are you will
ing that such an outrage should be perpetrated
upon you
Business men, will you support a party that
will surely work the ruin Of your business ifthey
get into power 7
Workingmen, can yon, Injustice TO yourselves
and your families, vote 10 place in power party
that will reduce the price Of your labor just one
half!
This is matter Of vital Importance to every
man in our State they should consider well the
question before II b BOO late.

3D. That representation in Congress shall be

Sd. That each State shall decide for itself, who
within its limits shall exercise the right of suf-
frage, go that negro suffrage cannot be forced Upon
sny State against its s0iH.
4th. That rebels. who, after having taken an

Thisis what Congress proposes as the condition

Isit not just and reasonable? Can any one, even
the rebels themselves, reasonably object to- such
conditions Can the loyal men of the country
safely consent to less than this

School Matters.


At the approaching election the people will be
called upon to vote for two measures in reference
% the School system OF our State. The irst is al
to whether certain section of the Constitution
shall be stricken out. This section provides for
the imposition of an annual tax of not less
than Eve cents on each one hundred dollars Of
" taxable property throughout the State, the
proceeds of which tax shall DO known as the
Public School Fund, and shall be invested by
! " the Treasurer, together with its annual inter-
eat, until such time as said fund shall, by its
" own increase and any additions which may be
9 made to it from time to time, together with
!" the present school fund. amount to six millions
Of dollars, when the tax of ten cents in the
t" hundred dollars . may be dscontin-
!" ued in whole or in part, as the General Az
sembly may direct the principal fund of six
e millions hereby provided, shall remain forever
"insiolate az the Free Public School fund of the
State, and the annual interest of said School
/" fund shall be disbursed for educational purpo-
g ses only, as may be prescribed by law"
There is nothing political in this matter, the
only question being whether this generation will
provide for the education of the children in thir-
~ or forty years from now or not. 1t would
seem, however, in view Of our present very high
taxes, to be the part of wisdom and prudence
rather TO provide for our own day only, leaving
the education Of future generations to the men
who will come after US
The second question to be voted on seems to
be one of actual necessity. Our schools are now
supported by tax of twelve cents on every one
hundred dollars worth Of property in the county,
but the authority TO collect levy this tax ceases
next year, unless the people of our county ex-
press by popular vote, their desire for such tax.
We feel sure that the people of the county will
not consent that our Schools shall be closed, for
even portion Of the year, and that authority to
levy an additional tax will be cheerfuly granted
We have heard it urged against this measure
that, after the new assessment is completed, a
tax of twelve ceuts on the hundred dollars will
be heavy one, and will yield tremendous rev.
enue. This is most certainly true; but the
School Board does not require this. They only
want the same amount of money they receive
now, probably but four or Eve cents on the hun.
bred dollars under our new assessment. In vo-
ting on the question, you are not called upon to
provide for the continuance OF the present adj
ditional school tax, but for Ga county School
tax leaving TO the Board of Education and Coun-
ty Commissioners the fixing ofthe amount which,
in their judgment will be necessary.

On the Eve of Battle.

Friends of the Republic, you are now upon
the eve of battle Before we can give you furth.
er reports from the out-posts, the conflict will
occur. Already the lines of battle are drawn
up, and the combatauis are awaiting the bonr Of
strife.
The issues at stake are rnOnentous Shall THU
land be free Shall Republican institutions con-
tinue in it Shall rebels or loyalsts hold the
reins of government Shall the blood and treas.
ure poured out 10 the late war be lost to the ma.
ton and to humanity ?--tbese are among the
grave aud solemn questions to be decided.
Loyal men, remember that the same foes stand
before you now that confronted you in the con.
Aict of arms. They have not changed their
purposes are the same their spirit is the same.
They entertain the same deadly rancor, the same
hate for free government, the same design to
crush liberty and sustain aristocracy that melted
them in their bloody and bsrbsric assault upon
you and your country.
Meet them again rs you have met them before
with earnest determination, with unfiinching
courage, with high resolve to crush their infa-
nous projects Of treason. Let no man be absent
from his place in the line of battle. Your loyal
comrades in Maine and Vermont, in Pennsylva-
MIA and Ohio in Iowa and Indiana, have gained
glorious victories, and are now looking with ca
yeruess to see what you will accomplish IN the
impending contest.
Let every man stand 10 his post and when
the battle comes, let there be no vacant place in
al the long line of loyalists-no faltering SOL
,lier any where in the Union ranks-no faint nor
covering heart amid the hosts of patriots but,
uerving yourselves for the conflict, make one
grand, persisiing charge all along the line, and
glorious victory vii be the result
