Trouble in the oamn.

The anticipated amalgamaiion between the
JohnsOniies and the simon-pure Democracy Of
this county has suddenly come TO grief" We
do not profess 10 exactly understand all the points
OF difference between these two factions, hut the
case seems to stand this way A number Of
gentlemen purporiing TO be the Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee Of Baltimore county, Assem-
bled In Towsontown on the Ord Of September,
instant, and adopted a number Of resolutions
eulogistic OF the action Of the Philadelphia Au.
gust Convention and advocating Union Of the
Democratic and Conservative parties In order TO
defeat "Radicalism." A Committee, consisting
Of Messrs. Vim. N. Isaac, Edward Spencer L.
=. d. Newman, DR.. John 7. Councilman and
George II. Carman, was appointed TO confer with
''any other Committee or organization in this
county" who approved Of the views &C, forth
In the Democratic resolutions. The johnson Ex-
ecutive Committee was In session at the same
hour, and the above resolutions were presented
TO iis members, and Messrs. Frank l.. Morllng
Charles whitlemore and Daniel W. Cameron ap.
pointed to confer with the Democratic Colnmlt.
tee. The conference was held, when the John
son Committee stated that they proposed to call
primary meetings by and under the name OF
their own-organiEation. To this the Democrats
demurred, stating that 'if Il was expected or de-
''sired that the Democratic and Conservative
"Union voters were TO act together In the coming
campaign, that such q call was not In accor-
dance with the views Of the Democratic Execu.
tive Committee, and that they could no, concur

A Very Apt Reply.

a soldier Of this city, who served with distinc.
ton as Colonel Of a Michigan regiment, was an.
preached yesterday by an officer who supports
johnson, with suggestion that, as military men.
they ought 10 pay their respects to President
johnson upon his arrival at Toledo
You may, but will not, replied the Mich.
igan Colonel. "ior have no respect for him"
90 but, quOth the Johnsonian, won will 20
with US aud show your respect for Grant aud
Farragui, who accompany him, won't you?'
my dear sit, replied the Colonel, There was
once an old lady who kept boarding house for
Iabofers. One morning she came across a piece
OF tainted beef which she purchased cheap and
'oiled for dinner. II smelt To heaven. and no,
boarder would touch Il. That evening she
sliced and fried u, but II wouldn't do-ii still
smeit. The next morning she made hash out Of
u but Il smeli louder aud louder when a boar
der, who could stand Il no longer, spoke his
mind; Look here old lady, you may bile H.
you may fry IL, or you may spile good potatoes
by hashin' II withein, but that m,H sfinis and
you can't crowd il down me ia any shape. -
" Now continued the very positive Colonel
" you may take Johnson boiled fried. sicwei or
sandwiehed between 10 as good potatoes a. Grant
and Farragui, and he siinks. You can't crowd
him down me at any price"
Inc conversation closed abruptly.

why Jefr. Davis is Not Released.

Much has been written in the Copperhcad press
in deuuncia,iOn Of Congress for opposing the re-
lease Of Jefferson Davis ON bail, but IL would seem
from the subjoined extract from u letter from
Washington 10 the Baltimore Gazette, that Con-
grrss is " endorsed - IN this particular by no less
person than Secretary Seward, Mr. johnson s
chief supporter and adviser The Ga.,r,s cor
respondent writes
The success OF the Radical ticket will probably
bring sad closing TO the long sufferings o. Mr..
Davis. The Radical voice calls aloud for his
blood, and Congress would not be slow, in yio-
lallon Of all law and justice and decency, 10 order
n trial by military commission. There are
Others, too, who would not oppose such a inca.
sure. The hitter feelings Of Mr. Seward are well
known. he, more thsR any other 10 ,rAom

Rashes made by the knife Of Payne, remain un.

upon strangers aud he knows that be will bear
terrible marks TO his grave. This renders him
exceedingly bitter against all those " HON he 10,
even by force OF imagination, connect with The
assassination. Mr.. Davis he PLACES in this ca,ego.
~. Mr.. Davis himself Is quite alive to the dan
gers OF his situation. and, with intimate friends
who are allowed TO visit him, discusses them
calmly hut freely. When these views are enter
tained by leading member OF the johnson Cabi-
net as well rs by the whole Radical party, there
Is at least some ground for apprehension

Alas ! How Changed.

On the nth ofAPril ls65, three days after the
assassination Of the immortal Lincoln. a delega-
ton Of citizens from Indiana called upon Andrew
johnson 10 tender assurance Of their supper, in
his efforts TO administer the laws. The President.
10 replying to them made use Of the following Ian
guage.
