shall be forgiven, 81 once admitted to ali their
political rights, and perhaps, made our rulers.
In demanding this, our frields Of Baltimore
county have gone q step further than we have
yet seen any Convention take. All parties have
heretofore agreed that those who actively IN arms
opposed the government, should have no voice In
ils administration, and il has been len 10 the
" National Union Party Of Baltimore county "
TO strike the keynote demanding their uneoudi.
tional enfranehisement.
The two remaining resolutions contain the
most fuisomc adula,ions OF Gov. Swami, and
pledge the support Of the nominees to him for
U. 5. Senator. When We reflect that at leas,
three OF these nominees have always been un-
wavering Democrats aud that the man they arr
pledged TO support Is " Plug Ugly Tom " Of
know-Nothing notoriety, these resolutions SAVIOR
ofstrangencss, 10 say the least Of them.
or the candidates selected we shalt probably
have occasion to say much bcforc tho election,
and viii forbcar any extended remarks OF them
now. Samuel T. Shipley was once Union man,
or protested to be one, but he changed his prin.
eipes, and was rewarded by being made register
for the Second District and for his noble serriee.
in that capacity has now received this nomira-
ton. VIM II. Hulchins, another candidate, ID
register for the Tenth Dislrict. lie denounces
the present Constitution, aud at one time said he
would never vote for man who supported it,
III is true that he said this. his assertion will
conflict materially with his pledge 10 support
Governor Swami, for that gentlemen was an or.
dent supporter Of the new Consultation. Daniel
W. Cameron was formerly Democrat, noted for
nothing In particular, We believe, except an in.
ordinate love for Office. John Thomas Ford /.
an old Democratic politician Of the strc,es, sor,
lie was a member OF the memorable Legislature
which convened at Frederick in 1851, aud hi.

" immoIials " who VOTED FOR TIE lMMEDl.
ATE RECOGNITION OF THE SOUTHERN
cONFEDERACY. We will further veniila,e ,hi,
gen,lemsn's csfeigi record hereafter. James C.
Clarke Is, probably, the best man on the ticket
lie is e every inch a gentleman" although a
lifelong Democrat. Throughout the VAR h,
called himself a Democrat, neither protesting ans
particular love for the Union. nor any desire. SC
far as we know, tina, It's enemies might be sue.
cessful. II such ticket could have any redeem.
ing feature, it would be found In having such q
man as Mr.. Clarke on it. The remaining canii
date is Chas II. Nieolai, Esq Inspector OF whis
key in the Internal Revenue Department, ",
wish we knew Of something politically good
TO say OF Mr.. Nieolai, bu, really We do not
lie is man eminen,y fitted for " treason. STRAIT
agem and sPoiIs, particularly the ,po,i', and Il
bound TO be on the strong side, whether il he til,

eFnmen, or the one seeking its overthrow. Their,
isa chance for the other part Of this ticket, ba,
Ms !, is but We believe that the people u Ba,i
more county are scarcely so los, to sense or prin
riPle, as TO elect Mr.. N.eolai to any position Q

rest assured, elected or defeated, he will loo. GU
