Il. Longnecker William Hutchins in the 10th
district, in place Of James B. McComas; Edward
R. Sparks in the 18th district, in place of Jesse
Garrett +. c. Fossett in the IL district, in place
of David K. Lusby. For the 18th district Mr..
Edward Whittemore was ousted from the Com
mittee, but no one was put in his place. The
Executive Committee was appointed less than a
year ago, as was supposed, for two years, and it
has always been considered that the County Con-
Uention to nominated county ticket was the proper
authority to announce this Committee. This
principle was contended for on Wednesday by
some members of the Convention, but this didn't
suit the views of the gentlemen who were run
ming the machine. A majority Of the Executive
Committee were opposed to their movement, and
they must be got rid of. We hope the signers to
that call for meetings on the 4th of August won
feel bad over their formal expulsion from the
ranks of the 'bread and butter brigade" It's all
right of course, a meeting representing minor
ay of the committee has the right to expel the
majority.
An attempt was made to have a committee on
resolutions appointed, but the proposition was
voted down. One gentleman spoke speech +"
on the subject, in which he said they wanted no
resolutions, that they were not contending for
any principle, &C. The truth is that that Con-
uertion scas AFRAID 10 pass any resolutions. Had
they attempted to do, they soould, to please the ma
jority Of the Convention, hare had to denounee the
registry lasc, and This, as they sceH knee, seO1td
hare driren large portion Of The meeting
from their party. Come out gentlemen T; :" TO
this complexion must you come at last" you
can't always carry water on both shoulders /;
you will have TO denounce the registry law be-
fore the campaign is over, and why not come
squarely up to the work now II, as some of you
commended, the Convention met for one spcifc
purpose, the election of delegates TO the State
Convention, and were not competent 10 go be-

The Convention, with few. exceptions was
composed OF rebels, disorganizers, ofice-holders
and office-seekers, aud had bard work to agree
upon anything Ii there are amy Johnson men
who are sincere. in their purpose of remaining
with the Union party and sustain the registry
law, will they not after seeing the doiugs and
complexion of this Convention, at once leave
this " new party and support the regular
Union party Of the county?

Gs-It was asinuated, perhaps said Mt the
Convention on Wednesday last that the gentle
men who as members of the Union Executive
Committee OF Baltimore county, signed the call
for primary meetings on the 4th Of August, had
been induced to do so By some unfair means
This is false, and gratnitous insult to the ma
jority of the committee. The call was presented
to them, and was read and signed by them with
the full knowledge Of what they were doing.
Occasion was also taken TO denounce the sign
ers Of that call as boilers and disOrganizers and
radicals. This brought Captain Waltemeyer to
his feet, who declared that he did sign the call,
would do so again, and de6ed all efforts to make
him appear disorganizer. Mr. Nicolai also as
serted that four gentlemen who signed that call
now repudiated their act. Who are they? Give
us their names. II this is so, why did you dis
place them from the Committee? You ousted
all who signed the call buttwo why is it that

mending the proposed organization 70 the good
opinion of the Democratic party. The meaning
of this is that the Democratic leaders have con-
cluded to take possession Of the new party and
apply it to the promotion of their own purpose
in restoring the late Rebels to full power in the
Government. Now that the Copperheads have
publicly declared their intention ofappropriating
the Johnson party to themselves, those Union

Tnent with liberation or favor will be pretty sure

tons for the obvious purpose of acquiring or re-
tanning official position, the public will be ena-

The object of this Convention, It's originators

johnson faction will not succeed lin the cherished
object which it has in view-the destruction of

as- A few days ago, Mr.. Charles II Nicolai,
an officer in the employ of the Internal Reve
nue. Collector and chief runnerfor the I" new par
ty," visited our town, and in conversation with
one ofour citizens stated that JamesL. Ridge
", Esq., had the selection of the Registers for
this county, and that he Nicolai,) would name
the man for the 9th district. He further volun-
teered the information that the gentleman select
ed woul register several men, whom he named,
who are very Objectionable to the Union party.
knowing Mr.. Nicolais Dragging propen-
sites, we are ready TO consider his boast as only
an offshoot of his fertile imagination, for we do
not believe that Gov. Swami, in the very serious
business of selecting gentleman TO sit in judg-
ment upon the right of his felow-citzens to the
elective franchise, would listen for a moment to
suggestion coming from such quarter. That
Mr.. Ridgely will have potent voice in the mat
ter, we have no doubt. That gentleman is GER
tainly a very fortunate politician. For the last
fifteen years he has held Office, no matter what
party was in power, or by whom he was opposed.
Last fall the great objection urged against the
regular Union ticket was thai it was in the
Ridgely interest, and it was contended that the
political power of that gentleman should he bro
ken up, as be was no longer a citizen of the
county Now, the very men who were opposed
to him last fall his political friends, and with
him are endeavoring to work the destruction of
the Union party, and it is possible that by the
amalgamation sought TO be formed the Ridgely
power may be extended bat aee doubt IL We
rather think that our Collector, shrewd as be is
in political matters, has this time missed his cal
culation, and will come very wide Of the consum7
nation aimed at. The people are tired Of him
and his leadership and hereafternwill try TO get
along without him. 81 saf in acy
But this selecting Registers is a serious matter.
We presume that his fugleman has stated the
case correctly. and that Mr.. Ridgey has the Sc
lection of the officers of registration for coun-
ty. We hope, therefore, that the gentleman
will consider well upon his important privilege
and give US good, sound men 1t doesn't mat
