Registry Law opposed to yielding the fruits
of four years of bloody strife into the hands
of, and atiliating WITH, traitors who run UNI

civil war may again control the State; opposed
to admitting Senators and Representatives
into Congress from those States lately in re-
belilon, without guarantees of safety in the
future; who are opposed to Presidential
usurpation of the powers properly belonging
to Congress; and who are opposed to the
recent diversion Of the majority of the Union

usurpcd powers-in favor of the factious
policy Of Montgomery Blair; and who are
in favor of maintaining the organization of
the Union party, which overthrow the power

Union Meeting.

An immense meeting of the Union men Of
Washington county was held at Hagerstown
on Saturday last. Speeches were made by
Hon. John l.. Thomas, Elk Governor Thorn
as, and Hon. J. a. j. Creswcll Of MARYLAND ;
Horace Maynard, of Tennessee, and General
Garfield, Of Ohio. We regret that our want
of space prevents us from laying the able
speech of Senator Creswel before our read
ers. The speakers, AMI the meeting b. res
olutions, endorsed the reconstruction policy
Of Congress, and the call of the 9th of June
Convention, in Baltimore. The true spirit
animatcs the Union men of this State, and
everywhere they are rising up to put down
and blast the traitors that have deserted,
and, joining with the rebels, mrs plotting
their overthrow. The contest is 10 be spir-
tied and signally triumphant on the side of
the Union.

DIsFRANCHIsEMENi or REBELS JUSTIFIED
BY THEIR OwN LEGlsLATIoS.-John Minor
Bolts gently reminds the reconstructed that
if they should remain DISTINGUISHED for a
season. they would only drink the chalice
prepared by them for the lips of others
They howl vigorously for a large measure of
magnanimity now. How did they act when
they had the power? Mr.. Bolts answers:
I'm the month Of July, 1861, the Conven-
ton of Virginia passed an ordinance declar-
ing That any citizens of Virginia holding
Office under the government of the United
States after the 3lst of July, 1861, should be
forever banished from the State and pc de-
clared an alien enemy; and that any citizen of
Virginia in the Congress of the United States,
should, in addition to the above penalties.
be considered guilty of treason and his prop.
erty be liable to conliscation.
The recent failure of the Merchants
National Bank of Washington has caused a
marked sensation among business men,
The Government loses about half a million.
which had been deposited in the bank by
Paymastcr Poulding. after he knew that the
bank must fail, it is alleged Two of the
directors of the bank were his securities, and
are said to have induced him to help them
through their troubles with the public money.
One l.. l.. Bayne, of Baltimore, was the prin-
clpal debtor to the bank, as well as the con.
trolling directors. He was prominent
sympathizer with the rebels during the war.
and IN this respect several of his business rs.
sociates agreed with him. The circulation
of the bank is amply secured in the currency
department, and the noteholders will lose
nothing.
Old General Santa Anna, formerly Presi
dent of Mexico. has turned up at New York.
having arrived there on Friday last from the
West Indies. AS soon as the fact was made
known there was much speculation as to the
purport of his visit. As he was accompanied
by several prominint South Americans
whether driven from their own country for
political reasons we know not-the report
soon gained Roadway that he had come in
behalf of the Republican cause in Mexico.
1t is well.known that when the monarchy
was first proposed, he was warmly in favor
of it, but subsequently he retired from Mexico
again disguised with Macmillan, for the
reason perhaps that he would place no con.
fidence in him. Now it is said he is an
earnest supporter of Juarez and wants to aid
him: but the Mexican minister at Washing.
ton distrusts him, does not believe in his
conversion, and has so given warning. In
and view we do not believe Santa Anna is
worth the breath spent talking about him, or
the ink shed in writing this paragraph.
neAp Probst, the murderer of the Deariug
family, is to be hung on Friday, the 9Th Of
June.

SWann's Status.

Governor Swami has published card for
the purpose of defining, what he is pleased
to style, his '!political status - and although
he informs US in it, that he intends to be "a
little more explicit than usual. we cam
see that he has been more than ordinarily
successful in doing anything but satisfying
the Union men of the State that he has de.
serted them and joined miserable faction.
in the expectation of being the next United
States Senator from Maryland.
His card, after some loose talk about
excepting the control of the Government in
the hands of loyal men," good deal OF
senseless twaddle about negro suffrage, and
an endorsement of President Johnson's pol.
icy, concludes with the remarkable inteli
gcncc that,
SIN these views believe I am sustained
by the almost united voice of President
.Iohnson's Cabinet, comprising many prom
lnent Republicans who have been the friends
Of both President Lincoln and JohnSon.'
This attempt of the Governor to fortify
his unenviable position by reference to
the views Of President Johnson's Cabinet,
must forcibly remind every one, of badly.
frightened boy whistling to keep up his cour,
age, and would be extremely ludcrous if it
were not so intensely pitiable. Does he
think the Union party of Maryland is owned
by President johnson and his Cabinet, that
he deems it all important to inform us he is
sustained in his views by these? If he does,
we beg leave to assure him that he is sadly
mistaken, and he will be apt to realize the
| fact before he is many months older.
Andrew johnson, Thomas Swami, Mont
gomery Blair and those aiders and abettors
need not attempt to dcbauch and lenoralzc
the unconditional Union party of Maryland.
1t has gone through too many bitter strug-
giles III the past few years to be induced now,
to affiliate with copperheads and traitors, OF
even to lower its standard one hairs breadth.
In spite of these men it obtained political
| ascendency in Maryland, and in spite Of
them it will maintain it. 1t is too late for
Swami, Blair, Purnell & Co. to attempt to
brighten the Union men of Maryland by
shouting "negro suffrage at them, they will
find that game is very much like themselves
about played out.
AS for our doughty Governor, we are well
satisfied that as soon as he discovers he got
down on the wrong side of the fence, he will
attempt to Chamber up agair and swear lus
tily that he has always been sound on the
goose, and that his political status was
misunderstood, because he was not a little
more explicit. We beg leave, however, to
assure him that the Union men of Cecil un-
derstand him thoroughly, and that in spite
of President Johnson's policy, and Post
master Purnell Committees platform, they
despise the former and spit upon the latter
And stand ready to join battle with rebels
and their sympathizers-whether they come
as Democrats, Conservatives, or johnson
men, aud to fight on till treason is rendered
odious, and the Government placed in the
hands of men whose ''political atus' is SO
well known by their loyal acts, that it will
never need defining.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1866-05-19

was being fought in the State, and when won,
he was one of those to huzza the loudest and
make the strongest professions. Swami,
Reverdy Johnson, Phelps, and the crowd Of
politicians of that school, belong to the sla-
very worshiping, bogus aristocracy who have
been run heretofore as available men, being
just rotten enough to catch, it was supposed,
votes to swell their majorities, from the half
Rebel floating vote. The Union party was
always strong CROUCH to have elected true
men,-men in ~hom there was no guile
We hope now that they are heartily physiced
with such men as Reverdy johnson, Mont
gomcry Blair, Col. Phelps, Henry May,
Thos. Swami and all other such political
trimmers an thimblcrigs, and that they will
show some sense in future. The issue now.
and for the future, until this reconstruction
question is settled and the "statas" of the
Rebels is determined, is between Radical
and Rebel. Take your choice. There is
nothing else. If the arrogant demands of
those traitors are not met and determined by
the Union people refusing to be divided by
false issues raised by the enemies of the
Government, at the fall elections and settled
securely by amendments to the Constitution,
then those who vascilate and leave the
Union party without a cause, may expect to
see the renewal Of the war to secure that
which has been won and again stolen from
the people and returned to the conspirators
by such false and faithless servants as Gov
ernor Swami and President johnson.
We conjure the people of this county, who
wish this rebellion settled securely, to send
delegates to Elktoa, on the Both of this
month, who are animated with patriotic mo-
tives alone. Let the reorganization of the
Union party, on the 9th of June, be perfect.
Let such toad eaters as John Frazier. politi-
cal scoundrels as W. Ii. Purncll, and weather
cocks as Gov. Swami, find no place in it,
Let every Union man be animated by the
conviction that he is organizing to fight one
| of the most important battles for his coun.
try, and not for spoils. The fruits of the
triumph of the national arms over the foul
est Of rebellions is to be secured. For this
we organize, with the minons of Office fallen
away from our ranks, and we will be all the
stronger without them. This struggle is to
close that contest which has been waged be-
tween you, Union men, and traitors for the
last five years. There is no change. The
enemy of the human race has been thrown
and disarmed, and now secure him from
harming you in the future.

DEATH OF AN AGED LADY

DEATH OF AN AGED LADY.-NIrs.
Martha Gill died at the residence of George
G. Weaver, near New Leeds, on Monday,
the 9TH inst. Mrs. Gill was born August,
l7GS, and was, consequently, in her 9sth
year.
She was syears old at the time of the
American Revolution, and has been an OBJ
server of all the stirring events of the United
States Government from its commencement
to the present day. Mrs. Gill had from
early youth been connected with the Meth.
odist Church. Her father, William Mahon,
was among the first Methodsts in the county.
and her brothers Richard, William, and
Reese Mahon, are we'll remembered by hun
dreds of Mcthodists and others in the county.
They all lived and died near the place OF
their birth, except Reese, who moved some
thirty years ago to Western Virginia. HI
had considerable reputation as preacher Of
the Gospel. William was engaged many
years as a school teacher, and the whole
family, though selftaught, evinced consid,
cradle native talent.

After June LIST, All State Bank notice
will be refused in payment of debts at the
counters of the different National Banks, or
for deposits, except at such discount as will
enable them to return the notes to their re.
spective banks, and receive national currency
in exchange. This is done in consequence
of the high tax that Government levies on al i
State circulation that is out after that time.
Our readers should be careful not to receive
too many of these notes, otherwise they will
lose by their depreciation. We hope the
time will soon come when these notes will be
entirely out of circulation.
