The Registry Law .

The loyal people Of the good Old patriotic State
OF maryland, have ten thousand reasons To be
thankful that this important matter was made a
Constitutional provision, by ,heir Representa-
lives who framed the presen; organic law Of the
State They have in addition abundant cause
10 be thankful TO the loyal representatives in tie
Legislature OF our State At their last session, for
their independence, prudence and loyalty. for
having as the servants Of our loyal people obeyed
that portion OF said Constitution.
/, may not be generally kaown now, but it IS
fact tina, many Of those OF our people who have
been dis'ranchsed Tor their open action, or sym.
pAihy with the rebellion, which ended 50 iuglo-
rious TO those who would have set all laws a,
defiance. who. in their efforts TO gain their indie
pendencc, would have, and even did comm,
murder in the various thousands OF ways in
which murder could. POSSIBLY be committed, even
TO the starvation OF tens Of thousands OF as brave
men as God ever bFca,hei the breath OF life in.
10, are now basi!y al work 10 have the Registry
law Of Maryland repealed There being how
ever a Constitutional obstruction, We fad some
of the leading neutral well late rebel papers

10 our Constitution. striking out that provision
which exclrdcs those rebel sympaihizers from
the hallo, box. \ state Convention Of tina, class
OF people has even been call TO assemble in Bal
,imore city a, an early day, for the purpose OF
advocating the repeal Of thar TO them obnoxious
portion OF the Constitution OF our State. Traitor
once Traitor always
Does IL no; then hehoove the loyal Union men
OF Maryland 10 stand manfuly up in this strug-
gle. To say simply tina, i, Is their duty, conveys
the idea in but feeble manner, aud we warn
the Union men OF tue loyal county OF Baltimore
and through them their brethren Of every dis
trio, and county throughout the State to be on
the aler; to prevent any change or modification
Of the said registry law, until the traitors have
been under probation for goodly length OF time
Tie tine 70 b. AdHied hsreg'ier. We feel confident
Isai the representatives in the Senate and House
OF Delegates from Baltimore county will permit
no innovations upon the presen, system, and We
feel no less confident that their loyal constituency
to a man will sustain them 10 their course.
