I" NV Policy . Illustrated.

Once upon a time, tradition has it, Mrs. Smith
borrowed from Mrs. Jones an iron kettle, for the
purpose of soap boiling. The saponaceous COM
pound produced, the kettle was returned, but, as
alleged, with hole in the bottom. Hereupon
Mrs. Jones seeks redress through the medium OF
the civil courts, sueing Mrs. Smith for damages.
The ingenuity of lawyers is known to everybody,
but seldom has it been SO strikingly brought to
view as in the adjudication of the case under
co consideration Resolved to for,ify his fair client
on all Sides and to effectualy foreclose every av-
enue to the recovery of damages, the defence in
terposes these three potent pleas each of which,
it were needless to say, if substantiated, could
not fail to " floor " the plaintiff, viz
L. Your kettle was broken when we received it.
H. Your kettle was whole when we returned it.
Ill. We never had your kettle.
The case has counterpart in the RECONSTRUCT
ton policy Of the " humble individual " eleva-
ted by John Wilkes Booth to the Presidency of the
United States Here are the strong points raised
by that eminent functionary in the enforcement
of +" Ny Policy -
l. The rebel States never were out OF the Union,
and by no possibility could they go out.
IL. The rebel States can only be brought back
into the Union by means of My Policy
Ill. There never were any Rebel States.

diminished head !!

A Heavy Load.

The greatest mistake perhaps, the copperhead
party made for the last two years was when they
shouldered Andrew johnson and tried to carry
him and his policy through the present campaign.
They are beginning to see it now The New
York Herald has come out and boldly declared
that Andrew johnson has contributed no small
amount to the overwhelming defeat of that party
in Maine, and more than this, the Herald says,
that as it is in Maine so will it be in every North
ern State The same disastrous overthrow
awaits them in New York, Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania on the second Tuesday of October
We have frequently heard it said that sin is
heavy !" ifso, we do not wonder at the breaking
down of the party that attempted to carry An
drew johnson on its shoulders.
1t is true that it was necessity that drove the
Copperhead party to Andrew Johnson but they
see now that it would have been better for them
to have stood aloof for in very short space of
time he has blown what was left of their party
higher than kite. New York appears to have
taken the hint; for, instead of ominating Gen.
Dix, the Johnson candidate, for Governor, they
have nominated Major Hoffman, thereby showing
a disposition to repudiate johnson and Raymond
and risk pure apprehension.

The Onion party say that the late shareholders
shall not receive pay for the slaves emancipated

The Executive Committee of the Uncondition-
al Union party Of the County, met in the Court
House on Tuesday last and after full and free
interchange Of opinions, fixed upon days for the
assembling of the primary meetings and the
County Convention of the party We publish
the call Of the Committee in another column -
1t will be seen that the Union voters of the Third,
Twelfth and Thirteenth Districts will meet on
Friday next, the 5th day of October, and those
of the remaining Districts on Saturday, the 9Th
day Of October, all between the hours Of 4 and
81 clock, P. NJ. y to select five delegates from
each District to represent them in the County
nominating Convention, to be held at Towson-
town on Wednesday, the 10th day Of October
We need not urge our Union men to attend these
meetings, for we believe they are fully alive to
the importance of the great issues involved in
the present contest We expect large attend
ance at these primary meetings. Let every
Union man, who possibly can do SO, attend, so
that the delegates selected may truthfully reflect
your opinions and wishesin the selection of can
didates for your SURFACES. We have an active,
GnScrupulOuS enemy 10 meet iot 10 hoe oo Doon n
ward in coming up squarely to the work before
us. The same old enemy that we fought during
all the years of the rebellion is still confronting
us, and, under new leaders, apostates from our
cause, are straining every nerve to regain by the
ballot what they lost by the sword. Let us meet
them again let us remain unbroken in spirit
and united in support of the great principles OF
our party, and we shall be again successful. -
Power, patronage place, position, may be against
us ; the Governor of our State and the Execu-
tive of the nation, both chosen by our votes, may
have turned away from us, but let us be hopeful
still. Time, that great rect6er of all evils will
show these renegades how much The people abb
hor their apostacy, how anxious they are to
condemn their action. tfsa

Tha President and his Policy


The New York Herald, Times and Necs, have
each in return, severely criticised the Presidents
speeches made on bis western trip. Whilst they
claim still that bis policy is a proper one they
uniformly condemn his manner of carrying it
out. To conceive is one thing, TO execute anoth-
err Whilst the Presidents policy in the eyes Of
many of his ardent supporters was well conceiv-
ed, they see nothing but destruction before him
now unless he leaves to ,oiser and better men de-
fence of it, The Northern press, heretofore in
his interest, significantly point him to the fate
that befel SooTr and DOUGLASS, who forgot that
it was unbecoming and really distasteful to the
American people for candidates for the Presiden-
cy to take the stump in their own defence. The
President they claim, is entirely inexcusable for
ignoring the dignity he ought to bear, and for
supposing that an intelligent public, had, like
himself norespect for the Presidential Office.
The indications are as plain as the MONDAY 8
sun, that the policy of ANDREW JOHNSON, as he
carries IL ont, is dead that the policy Of Con-
gress is living thing that moves and has be-
ing. The elections in Vermont and Maine have
astonshed the most sanguine Radicals and have
proved equally astonishing to the President and
his party, so much SO that many of bis most in
fiuential supporters advise him to abandon his
programme at once and adopt that of Congress
before he shall be buried forever beneath the
popular indignation that is every where mani
testing ITSELF Except in localities where treason
is respectable and loyalty odious,) and which he
more than all others, has aroused and itensiied
by his imprudent course and incorporate speeches
The loyal will accept nothing less than the de-
mand of Congress as laid down in its Reconstruc-
ton plan. If accepted, peace and unity is secnr-
ed if rejected by the South she may prepare for
more stringent guarantees than those now asked

BASE BALI. The first mines of the Towson and
Lake Base Ball glubs played friendly game on
the grounds of the former on Monday afternoon
last. The Lake Club were the victors, scoring
fifty-two runs to twenty-five for the Towson.--
Capt Brown, Of the Pas,ime Club, was the UNI
pire, aud Lewis II. Wheeler Esq, and DR.. Nay
lor Scorers A large number otpersons witness
ed the game and seemed deeply interested in the
result. The crowded state of our columns prevents
any further remarks.
The first nine of the Mt. Washington and the
second nine of the Social Clubs played game at
Mt Washington on Saturday last in which our
friends of Luthervlle were successful. Mr.. VIM.
Grason, was umpire on the occasion.
The Pastime, Of Baltimore, will visit our-t town

what liberal construction" of law may do
They will find names recorded there by one man,

The Second Congressional District
r.l 81 A Challenge Declined.

II win be seen from the subjoined correspond
ence that Hon John L. Thomas, our candidate
for Congress, challenged the Rebel candidate,
Mr.. Stevenson Archer, TO a joint discussion, be-
fore their constituents, Of the principles of their
respective parties, and that the challenge has
been declined Mr.. Archer places his declina-
ton on the ground that the people of the Dis
trict are too intelligent to require enlightenment
and prefers separate meetings tojoint discussions,
which, he pretends to allege, would tend to an
increase of the political feeling which is already
q excited beyond healthful degree" Mr..
Archer's objections are very fully disposed of by
Mr. Thomas in reply. The proposed joint dis
cussion having been declined, Mr.. Thomas has
made arrangements for series of meetings
throughout his district at which he will deliver
addresses and explain the important issues which
his opponent is unwilling to discuss with him.
A number. of these appointments, for our county,
will be found in our advertising columns. Mr.
Thomas, assisted by several other able speakers,
will speak at Woodbury. at o'clock this even
ing, at Shawan on next Monday evening, at
Zoueksville on Tuesday afternoon, at Middle
town on Wednesday afternoon, at Paper Mills on
Wednesday evening, at Parkton on Thursday
afternoon, at Hereford on Thursday evening, at
Whitehall on Friday evening and at Monkton on
Saturday evening. We know that the good
Unionists of the I" upper end " will turn out and
give their nominee cordial greeting, but they
must do more They must bring their "Conserva-
e. a. tI,.o&
they too may hear the real issues of the day dis
cussed and have their minds disabused of the
false doctrines promulgated by the runners Of the
g new party"
The following is the correspondence between
Messrs. Thomas and Archer
BALTIMORE, September IL, 1866.
Hon Stephenson Archer, Bel dir:
iSir-We are both in the field asking the
votes of the people as candidates for the Forteth
Congress.
You will agree with me that the issues involv-
ed are more important than any yet placed before
the American people, and that to proper under
standing of them, the people should be met and
the questions discussed
With this view, would suggest that three or
more Joint discussions be arranged between US,
one in Hartford, one in Baltimore county, and one
in Baltimore city, at such times and places as
may be agreed upon.
Ia order that no delay may be occasioned l
will leave the detail ofthe arrangement, on my
part, with my friend Afford Mace, Esq, of Bati-
more city.
Will you favor me with an early reply
Your obedent servant,
JOHN l.. THOMAS, JR.
