COUNTY CONVENTION.


Union men of Carroll county who sus-
tain the President of the United States
against the radicals of Congress, and
stand by Governor Swami against the
radicals of Maryland. 1t viii be re-
membered that because the State Gen.
trail Committee was known to be in IA
vor of the policy of President johnson,
and of Gov. Swami, State Convention
was called by four members Of the Cen
trail Committee, which met in Baltimore
on the 9th of June and organizeda neao
party out Of all those who endorsed the
reconstruction policy of Congress, and
opposed any modification Of the Regis
try Law of this State. They cast over
board all the features of the old party
organization, disregarded the call of the
regular State Central Committee, and
are now fully allied to the radical party
of the North, whose representatives are
holding the Union apart at the present
moment, by their Legislative measures,
and proposed constitutional amendments,
in the interest of the negro race.
We have not the slightest doubt that
the majority of the Union men of Car
roll county prefer, in their hearts, the
course pursued by their President and
Governor; but for fear they may get
separated from the body of the party
North, many are disposed to smother
their principles and aid the fanatics of
the North in keeping open the old sores
of the Union. Ifthey did not from the
first approve Of the course of these
Northern radicals in breeding disccrd
between the North and the South, now
is the time for them to show their hon
esty and frmness. These Radicals will
keep them forever in hot water, and
some day they must leave them. BY
following in the footsteps Of the Presi-
dent and the Governor, who have
shown praiseworthy example, they
will do much, very much, toward res
toring the lost harmony of Their coun-
try, and will be remembered as patriots
who had the nobility of soul to disarm
their own prejudices, and brave the fury
of party malice. 1t only requires some
manly leaders in this county to show
the way, and multitudes of their party
will soon follow. 1t is no time to hest
tate. The country is in crisis, and
men should act from honest convictions,
not under party dictation. a
We say then-and we think We have
some right thus to address men with
whom we acted when the Union was in
danger, though not in the Republican
ranks-that they ought to take an open
part in this proceeding, and attend the
Convention in person or by delegates
They should let no mawkish fecling-
that some how they may thus please
rebels RESTRAIN them. Rebels must be
conciliated some time or we can never
trust them as citizens again. Surely
few persons in our county can desire to
see standing army kept down South TO
compel obedience, or the negroes allowed
to vote to neutralize the votes of white
men there. How much better now,
when the whites of the South arc beg
ging to come back, that we should seize
the happy moment to conci!iate We
say then to all liberal minded Union
men of Carroll county-nowis the gold
en- opportunity, and you viii lament it
hereafter if it is not now improved.

The FOURTH OF JULY-No special
celebration of our national Anniversary
was provided for in Westminster, this

day on which our country was ushercd
into existence as an independent nation.

The Horrors of Night Ride In Stage
COacl

The San Francisco Bulletin has the
following:
One day last week, as the Los Angeles
and San Jose stage-coach was travelling
in the night between San Luis Obispo
and Santa Barbara, an incident occurred
which produced anything but pleasant
impression among the passengers. A
lady was occupying one OF the front seats,
and the whole company had been talk
ing and singing in the most sociable
manner. After time the lady settled
down as if to 60 to Sleep and one Of the
gentlemen passengers asked her II she
would not have pillow under her head.
She made no reply, and the company in
dulged in another song. As the song
ceased one of the passengers opened the
curtain SO as to let in the moonlight,
and looking down at the face of the
woman, exclaimed: why, can it be
that she sleeps with her eyes OPEN?
Another passenger placed his hand upon
her forehead, land cried out She is
dead P" The stage was stopped, and the
inanimate pulseless form of the lady
carried out in the open air She was
deathly cold, and her face was wet with
the cold sweat supposed to gather only
on the face of the dying After so long
a time passing that all hopes of life re-
naming was given up, she recovered I'M
der the vigorous rubbing with whiskey,
in which all the passengers had engaged,
and the journey was finally resumed 1t
turned out that the lady was afflicted
with the heart disease, aud had the dis
covery of her condition been delayed a
little longer, she would have been past
