Then and Now.

A Washington correspondent draws the
following comparison between Washing
ton City now and before the war:
Just now the resemblance Of Washing
ton life to that prior to the war is SO strik-
ing IS to be a subject OF almost universal
remark. There are about as many rebels
here now as then, and they seem to have
learned no lesson by the war, but grow
viadictive in proportion TO the leniency
shown them. Congress is the principal
target at which they aim their hate, and if
that body has accomplished good for the
nation in proportion to the hate snd con-
tumely it receives, then truly it will live
long in history. Rebels were in power
then, outside Of Congress, and they are in
power now. They exhibit more vindic-
~tiyeness towards Northern people than
ever before, and it is very probable that
the odds against them only prevent an in
diligence in their favorite pastime of whip
ping " niggers and shooting "Tanks."
This class are getting holder day by
day. They begin to shsut for A. j. and
j. d., and fail not to curse Congress as 8
nest Of traitors. When one institutes in
quiries into their motives for coupling
those two names, he finds that their love
is for J. D.; and that they tolerate A. J.
just Sc far and so long as they can use
him against the detested Radicals, and
through him make loyalty odious and
treason c~ommendable. When they have
used him they will cast him aside his
connection with the Republican party
making him unworthy to be handled ex-
cept by tongs at long range.

the Union Executive Committee Of Baltimore
county, met at TowsontoWn, on Wednesday,
2Srd Of May, 1866, and adopted the following
resolutions as expressive of the sentiments Of
theUnion men Of Baltimore county
lst Resokved, That this Committee recog
nize the State Central Committee appointed by
the President Of the last Union State Conven-
lion py authority Of said Convention, as the
only legitimate organ Of the party in Mary
lana, ana we hereby repudiate the call of the
"a o. the state Executive Committee for
the formation OF State Convention on the 9th
Day OF June, as wholly unauthorized and en-
titled to no respect Reconsideration.
I'd. RssolUed, That we cordially endorse An
drew Johnson, President of the United States,
and approve his administration, especially his
reconstruction policy as-in entire accordance
with the Constitution of the United States and
essentially promotive of the peace, prosperity
and happiness of the whole people
Bird. ResoLved, That we stand now where we
have ever stood since the rebellion commenc-
ed, with the conservative wing of the Union
party in Maryland, upon the same platform of
| principles upon which which we battled against
radlcalism under the lead of Creswell Co..
and we rally again under the same standard
bearer who led us successfully against them at
the last trial of strength for Gubernatorial
nomination of the State

reaiiirm the sentiments enuncated in the mes
sage OF Gov. Swami to the General Assembly
OF Maryland, especially in so far as thevrefer to
the maintenance Of the Registry La,o of the State
and the miserable attempt Of the radicals and
boilers from the Union organization to impugn
our sincerity or good faith on this subject has
its solution only in the fact that without the
aid OF this faLse issue radcalism and negro
suffrage is hopeless in Maryland
5th. ResolUed, That although the boilers
from the regular Unconditional Union organi-
zation are with characteristic hypocrisy, seek
ing to hide their real objects and to conceal the
true issue from the people of Maryland. by
setting up pretended apprehension of the
repeal of the Registry Law as an excuse for
their attempted disorganization of the party.
yet their sympathy and fellowship with Ste
vens, Sumner, Wilson and Others open and
avowed friends and advocates of negro suffarge
and negro equality renders transparent their
purpose to AfricGaize the ballot box in Nd.
9Th. ResolUed, That when the duly and reg
ularly appointed State Central Committee
9 shall have met and issued call for the organ
lzatlon of State Convention to represent the
Union party, this Committee will cordiallyres-
pond to such call and the President is for that
purpose hereby directed to reassemble the com
mttee at an early period thereafter.

Now they want things to be done slowly. They

to be slow in imposing disabilities upon Rebels

ion party of the country
g THE UNION PARTY The personal of the Re-
publican party is remarkable. In the North it
comprises within its ranks nineteen twentieths
of the members of all protestant churches, ex-
cepting the Epscopaleans-and large majority
of the members of that denomination almost
the entire membership Of all moral or benevolent
associations fourfths of the literati profession
al men, teachers, etc three-fourths of the return
ed soldiers large proportion of the promi-
mont business especially miners, manufac-
turers and bankers and certainly decided ma
iority of the farming population. Ever since its
formation this party has been growing with
amazing rapidly, an its accessions have been
principally from the above classes which do not
change easily, until now it controls every North
ern State, including Missouri
And this is the party that Democratic newspa-
pers sheer at as radical, fanatical, incendiary.-
If there ever was, in the history of the world, a
party that combined in larger degree all the
best elements of nation, no record of its exis-
tence has come down to these times.
