A CAPTURE.-It is already evident that the
original Philadelphia Convention party is out
lanked by the Democrats, and Southern sympa-
thizers. It scarcely less evident that within a
fortnightit will be captured and held by them
1t is most evident of all that when the time comes,
and the seizure is made, it will not amount to
much, so far as Union men are concerned, since
only stragglerS from that party will be there.

- The recent massacre of loyal men in New
Orleans by an infuriated rebel mob, and the con-
nection of President Johnson with this unfortu-
nate affair, affords one Of the most striking in
stances of the working of the Presidents policy
that has yet been afforded. The State Conven-
ton which was broken up by the rebels, and q
MANNED by the rioters, was composed of Union
men conspicuous for their loyalty during the war
The meeting of the Convention was fully sane
toned by Governor Wells who was duly elected
to that Office, and has been rugularly engaged in
discharging the duties OF the position. While
the loyal men of New Orleans we're dying from
wounds inflicted by the mob engaged in the work
of suppressing Convention which had been thus
legally called together, the President sent dis
patch-not to Governor Wells, who was the
proper officer, for he was not reiabe--but to his
Attorney-Ge al---one Andrew s. Heron, a
prominent rebel throughout the war calling the
Convention a usurpation, and directing that all
"unlawful assemblies" must be suppressed. Gen.
Sheridan, gallant officer of the war, was thus
REQUIRED to act under orders of notorious rebel,
in suppressng an assembly of loyal men This
unwarranted assumption of executive authority
shows how much sincerity there is in President
Johnson's views regarding the rights Of individ-
ual States. 3he lH

@s- prominent Democratic paper of this
State says that the great issue in the coming
election is negro suffrage" The writer knew
when ne penned that line that the assertion was
utterly groundless. The European war has about
as much to do with the coming election in Ma
ryland as negro suffrage AS has been the case
during the past year, the Copperhead leaders are
making systematic effort to carry the election
by misrepresenting the true issues involved in
the contest, and by appeals to the prejudices and
passions of the masses. They have tried this
method for years and have always been defeated
Do they expect to succeed any better this time Z
The people have not gone backward in intelligence
and virtue, and they will rebuke these dema-
goguges at the polls this year as they have done

INCONSISTENCY of the grounds on which
johnson vetoed the new Freedman's Bureau Bill
is that q eleven States are not represented in
Congress. If that is a valid reason for vetoing
the bill is it not equally as good against all bills
passed by this Congress Yet Johnson has sign
ed at least hundred bills passed by this session.

gas- 1t will be noticed that the calls to-day
published, emanating from the Executive Com
mittee of the county, are signed by Christian
Gore, Esq, as Chairman. AS the call made for
the Mass Meeting of the Johnson party was sign
ed by the same gentleman, little explanation 10
his course may be necessary. Mr.. Gore like 9TH
er good Union men, was misled into a partial
support of Mr.. Johnson and his party but when
he discovered the drift ofthe concern, he prompt
ly drew out of it, and now desires to be known
only as member of the Unconditional Union
party Of the county, opposed to rebellion, trea-
son, my policy " and its adherents.
These remarks may also apply to Capt. F. G.
F. Waltemeyer who was delegate to the john
son county Convention. He " couldn't train
longer in that crowd, " and was here on Wednes-
day as delegate, giving his full adhesion to the
Convention then held and its objects.

MISUNDERSTANDING Of the differ
ence between sport and dissipation, dam
eng and old. fashioned playing. Edward
Everett has remarked, that the Ameri-
cans, as people-at least the profession
al and mercantile classes-have too little
considered the importance of healthfu,
generous recreation. They have not
learned the lesson contained in the very
word, which teaches that the worl-oul
man is recreated, made over again, by
the reasonable relaxation Of the strained
faculties. Thrown upon new continent
eager 10 do the work of twenty centu-
turics in two-the Anglo-American popu-
la,ion has over-worked and is daily over
working itself. From morning till nj ht,
from January to December, brain and
head, eyes and fingers, the powers of the
body aud the powers Of the mind, arc in
spasmodic, merciIess activity. There is
no lack of tew tastclnss. solIllcss dissi-
pations, which are called amuscnemts ;

Christ Loved His Mother.

The last thing I have to say about the
character of Jesus Christ is, He loved
His mother. The Saviour was nailed to
the cross; the whole weight of His body
was suspended from His lacerated limbs (;
and there He had to hang, honr after
hour, till life actually sunk under the
power Of suffering; but even here He
did not forget His mother. He gave in
the most touching manner possible, His
dearest friend charge to be kind to her,
to protect her, to take care Of her as long
as she should live. He did this, however,
almost by word; for under such cir
cumstance, it was torture to speak. Be.
hold thy mother" That was all buv it
was enough. Now let Inc ask each one
of my readers, whether young or old,
who has q mother still in life, as you shut
this book at the close of this paper, to go
and devise some act of kindness and
affection tor her in imitation Of the dying
example which the Saviour set US. Do
something to cheer and comfnrt her.
Even if it's no very substantial act Of
kindness, it will bring gladness to the
heart, as memorial of your kindness
and affection.-Abbott.

was sown field of wheat. On the eve.
ming succeeding the harvest the wheat
having been gathered in separate shocks,
the elder brother said to his wife, ",My
younger brother is unable to bear the
burden and heat of the day; will arise,
take of my SHOCKS and place them with
his without his knowledge" The young.

benevolent motives, said within himself.

none; will contribute to their support:

on the following morning, they found

This course Of events trahspired for sew
