This fact, that name, no laurel, no services

even against such an appalling TACT as that million
ano nall of Voters-mOre than SIX hundred thou
yania-are still corrupt and ignorant enough to
support the mobocrat of the White House We
recognize the terrible significance of this fact. Put
behind such mass of besotted and corrupt tools,
the patronage of the Government and the moral
support OF the South-il the word "moraP can ever
be used in such connection-and its influence must
be fearful. Still, the people have shown such true
instincts, such untalterng devotion, pucblng out
right eyes and cutting off right hands when they
offended, that we catch fresh hope from the
elections. Maryland is herself a testimony

Revolutions never go backward. 1t is equally true
that radicalsm travels westward. Personal Liberty
bills, Womens Rights bills, and all such legislation,
started from New england, and have ''swung round
