R.r.ey On the MARYLAND Elections.

The Philadelphia Press publishes n
letter from Colonel Forney in reference
to the approaching elections in Mary
land, which creates great interest in
consequence of the conflict between the
Governor and the Police Commissioners
of Baltimore. The Commissioners con-
troll the registry lists, and it ia charged
that Governor Swami wants to remove
them in order to control the election.
Colonel Forney writes from Baltimore ::
The Mayor will never suceumb, but
fight it out to the bitter end. All the
Union men in Baltimore swear that
they will drench the streets with blood
but they will protect their rights and
the law. The brave General. Dennison
and the gallant General Wooley have
both offered their services to the Mayor,
and the veterans Of the Union army are
ready to fight. Ii is said that johnson
promised some Federal soldiers to help
him pnt down the Union men Of Mary
land. If he shall attcsnpt this there
will be civil war. The meH1 see here
mean fight,- and they do net mean TO
submit, and will not submit; all they
ask ia that the mighty North shall
stand by them in their struggle for
liberty and Union. Ny solemn belief is
that Andrew Johnson will send the
regular troops into Baltimore to sustain
Swami, if the attempt of the latter 10
remove the Police Commissioners is re-
sisted by the people, as resisted il will
be. In that event let the North be pre-
pared, let Pennsylvania be ready.
