A simple majority of votes shall in all cases where not

obtained, a tied election shall be held among double as many
members from among those having the largest number of

General Grants Political Status.

CHICAGO, September 3.LThe political campaign
begins with warmth. A Republican mass meet
ing was held at Gaena yesterday, at which Gen
eral Logan and Mr.. Moulton, candidates for Con-
gressmen at large, made speeches. Logan's
speech was an argument to prove the radealism
of General Grant. He said he knew General
Grant well and intimately, and he knew all his
hopes and sympathies were with the great loyal
masses of the nation who, by their valor and
blood, had saved the country, whatever efforts
might be made to have it appear that he was in
sympathy with the Copperhead and Rebels in
their efforts to turn the Government over to trail
tors North and South. He wished to say to the
people here and everywhere that General Grant
was entitled to the fullest confidence of the Union
men Of the country. General Grant was no pol
itician, and it was not his province to mingle in
the political discussions of the day but every
military act Of his, all his military orders had re-
ceived the enthusiastic applause of all the loyal
men of the country. His acts had shown unmis-
takably that heiwas right Hesays this to relieves
the country, that he knew Grants opinions, and
that he was openly for the Constitutional Amend
ment presented by Congress. Not only that, but
he knew of bis own knowledge that Grant was
earnestly for the Civil Rights bill, and had used
all his influence to induce the President to sign
it. He would say further, that as far as General
Grant was concerned the army would be used to
every proper extent to protect the Union men of
the South against the oppression of Rebels All
the signs of the times indicated that Johnson was
to be the candidate in 1868 of the great Copper
head and Rebel party. In that view it was i'm
portant to destroy the confidence which the Uni
on party had in Grant. That great soldier is
the idol of the Union party and the loyal men
of the country, and he was the man they delight
ed to honor. The plan of the Copperheads and
of Johnson men was to destroy General Grant
chances for the Presidency, by attempting to
compromise him in the Johnson policy of turning
the Government over to traitors.

DIED.

Departed this life ON Thursday, the 18th day
of July, THOMAS FIrcH, in the 10th year of his
age.
The subject of this notice was the son of Rob-
ert Fitch, Esq, late of Baltimore county. The
suddenness Of his demise (being in perfect
health the preceding day. has cast universal
gloom over his friends and acquaintance. His
urbanity and gentlemanly department had
drawn around him larger circle of devoted
friends than falls to the lot of most men to en-
joy. Of incorporating integrity and of the
strictest honesty, he remained without an enc
my through life, and in his death the poor and
the needy have suffered an irreparable loss in
their friend and benefactor. He leaves a devo-
ted sister and brother to mourn his death, which
was the result of the late intense and protract-
ed heat of the weather. s.B.

m-If there ever was a time which demand

Ny>1f there ever was time which demand
ed the unanimimous, vigorous and earnest CO.
operation of the Unconditional Union men of
Maryland it is the present. There never was an
issue presented in which such bold and determin-
ed efforts were made to wrest all power from the
people and concentrate it in the hands of the Ex-
ecutive. The President himself, forgetting the
dignity of the high position which he attained
through the murder of the immortal Lincoln,
has taken the stump, and by set harangues,
which would reflect no credit on seventh-rate
country politician, is appealing TO the passions
of the people, and trying to excite their sympa-
thy for the much injured individual" as he
styles himself. He may talk about mercena-
ry and subsidizing press" hurl his vile and filthy
epithets against his calumniators,n yet could
the will of the American people be expressed to-
morrow it would hurl Andrew johnson and de-
faint treason from power, and erect in their stead
the dropping form of loyalty, crowned with the
wreaths of a triumphant peace. Oh ! can it be
that four long years of bloody and agonizing
war are to have been waged in vain can it be
that the blood of three hundred thousand patri-
ots poured out libation upon the affairs of lib
erty, is to be madea meaningless sacrifice can it
be that the thousands of hearthstones all over
this broad land, made desolate by this war of
treason, are to be shrouded in disgrace by the
acknowledgment of the government that the
cause in which their loved ones fell was an UNI
holy strife2 No, not while there yet remains so
many noble men who have witnessed all these
scenes of carnage and woe and who yet live to
behold the impious treachery of one in whom
they unhappily confded. Union men we invoke
you to arouse TO the most vigorous action. The
peoples, cause is Gods cause; men betray u.s. bnt
principles are eternal. Arouse Union men this
is the hour for action. Let us speak through
the ballot-box, and let those two miserable apos-
tates, Andrew johnson and Thomas Swami,
bend their ears and listen, for they will surely
hear some solid peals of loyal thunder from free
Maryland.

PERFECTLY NATURAL.--On Saturday last, a
mass meeting was held in Louisville, to ratify
the proceedings of the Philadelphia Johnson Reb-
Ell Convention, and General Forrest, the notori-
Gus butcher of Fort Pillow, was called to pre-
side over the meeting, which he did. What 10y
al gathering that must have been A few weeks
since those same men elected returned rebels to
every high office in the State and the Union can
didates were left thousands upon thousands. of
votes in the rear. Kentucky is to-day virtually
an enemy to law, order and popular government,
all because she has been overrun by rebel sol
diers, bushwhackers and murderers, like Forest
and his clan. The peope of Maryland can take
fair warning from Kentucky, and woe be unto
them, if like her sister State she falls under the
policy of the INSCRIPTIONS egotist who occupies
the Presidential chair, and his equally unscru-
1nila fonIa
