p9~At a meeting last week of the
Copperheads, rebel sympathizers and
returned rebels of Kent county, held in
Chestertown, for the purpose of fixing
upon some plan to get control Of the
State again, series of resolutions were
adopted, from which we take the fol-
lowing
Resolred, That the present Registration
Law of Maryland is unjust and oppressive,
and stain upon the honor of our State, and
in its administration has been productive of
the greatest wrongs, we therefore recon-
mend that State Convention shall be called
to meet in the city of Baltimore or Frederick,
for the purpose of thorough organization, to
secure its repeal.
We hope the above recommendation
will be reconsidercd before said Conyeu-
ton assemblies and the word "Frcder-
lex" stricken therefrom. The people of
this city are sick aud tired of rebel
meetings. We have already too many
rebels in our midst to make it desirable
to have them concentrated here from
other quarters of the State, even over
night.
The above is copied from the Frcder-
lex Examiner Of last week as sample
Of the intolerant spirit of the Mary and
Radicals If we did not see such ex.
hibtions Of party mnlcvolcnce published
we could not believe them possible -
Surely the opponents Of these Radicals,
constituting, we believe, large MAORI
ty of the people Of the State, have some
rights and feelings deserving Of respect
fu treatment at least. 1t is shocking
to contemplate, that when multitudcs Of
our citizens are unrightcously disirau.
chiscd, a peaceful assemblagc Of tho
| p ioplc, designed to procure a redress of
such grievances, should be hootcd at by
the mouth pieces Of a minority that now
rue only by popular su!erance. Even
had the masses Of the Democratic party
in Maryland been actual rcbels, which
they were not their popular meetings

ton. if il b. Il u. desirable g. &c tore

ELECTIONS IN OHIo--A number OF
township elections were held in Ohio
last Monday. In Columbus the demo
cratic marshal has been elected by 1868
majority over the republican marshal
elected one year ago. The democrats
have also elected six out Of nine coun-
cilmen, and seven out Of ten assessors,
In Chilicothe the democrats made a
clean sweep, elccting their marshal by
1913 majority, large gain. In Newark
the democratic marshal had z, majority
and is the first democrat elected to that
position in nine years.

with Mr.. p, was stunned SO much that

effects. A girl at Mr.. Gettier's perhaps
a hundred yards off, was affected so

that there was soldiers widow or a

this plea in behalf of the South as fol-
lows: .-z--.... -.

WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO Do.-The
address of the Philadelphia Convention
is not the first warning the people have
had of what is in store for them in case
the copperhead party fail in securing a
majority of the next Congress. The
threat Of civil war, made in this docu-
ment, is but reiteration Of what Mont
gomery Blair said in copperhead meet
ing at Reading, Penn. He there de-
clared if the next Congress refused to
admit the members from the rebel States
the President would recognize them and
the copperheads of the North as the Con-
gress of the U. States, thereby inaugura
ting a war in comparison to that which
we have passed dwindles into insignifi-
canoe. As Blair is regarded as the mouth
piece Of the President, and the Philadel-
phia Convention and Andrew johnson
are one and the same person, we say
these threats are entitled to serious con
sideration. ..
