The Primary Meetings.

Saturday next is the day selected by the ma
.jority of the Union Executive Committee of our
county, for the holding Of primary meetings IN
the several districts, for the purpose of electng
delegates to our County Convention, which as
sembles in this town on Wednesday, the 9th of
August. We think there is no need of urging
upon the true Unionists of the county the impor-
lance of attending these meetings. Our friends
seem to be fully alive to the importance of the
issues involved in the coming contest, and are
working manfully. We doubt not, from pres
ent indications and reliable information, that the
primary meetings on Saturday next, will be more
fully attended than any meetings of the kind
held in our county for years. 1t is right that it
should be SO. The rebellion is to be fought over
again at the ballot-box. The man whom the
American people elevated to the highest Office in
their gift has proved recreant to the trusts re-
that party against whom true Union men have
been contending for the last five years. Trusted
leaders in our own State have failed us in the
hour of our need, finding in "loaves and fishes, !"
in official pap and patronage stronger induce
ment to guide their political action than they
could discover in the principles they heretofore
professed. The people must now act for them
selves.
Our opponents have already held their meet
ings and elected delegates to their State Conven-
ton. 1t is unnecessary now to speak of this
miserable farce Our readers well know that
the delegates assembled in convention in this
town last week, do not reflect the sentiments of
the Union men of the districts they know that
at some ofthe district meetings they could scarcely
get enough men together, of their peculiar views,
to elect as delegates they know that of that con-
vention many were, and have been, outspoken
rebels and bitter opponents of the Government.
Our friends at the meetings on Saturday next,
will send no such men to their county con-
vention They will not go to the ranks OF
the enemy to find men to represent them they
will not select men who voted, while in the leg
islature of our State, for the recognition of the
Southern Confederacy.
We urge all who can possibly do so to turn
out on Saturday next Give one afternoon, a
few hours, to the great cause in which we are en-
gagged, and let our meetings put to shame the
miserable abortions which have lately arrogated
to themselves the high vocation of representing
the Union men of Baltimore county.

ering has been seen in Maryland since the ad-
journment of the Frederick Legislature, which
passed resolutions favoring the recognition of the
Southern Confederacy. The old States Rights
Secession leaders seemed resurrected, and come
ouafrom the quietude in which they have for years
been concealed. The enemies of the Registry
Law, together with those who opposed the cleo
ton of the lamented Lincoln bore conspicuous
part in the deliberations of this motley assem-
blage.

resides in this county he is member of the
@ new party Executive Committee for the
Third Election District but yet he was a dele
gate to the convention from the city, and appoint

isn't it. Perhaps he has been taking lessons
from Mr.. Ridgely.

Primary Meetings.

Union men of Baltimore county, turn out to
the primary meetings on the 4th of August next.
You cannot fail to see, from recent developments,
that an attempt has been made to destroy your
party, and unite you in party with rebels.
You are told by the friends of this f" New
Party" that the old Union party of the county,
represented by a majority of its committee, is in
favor of negro suffrage. This, no doubt, you
have ascertained to be false. The voters of a
party, constitute the party, therefore go out to
the primary meetings, pass your own resolutions,
make your own platform, set forth your own
principles and send delegates to the Convention
to carry them out You are the party, and you
have it in your power to say what shall be its
principles. The primary meetings for the 4th
of August, are for the assemblage of Union men.
We want thorough understanding among Union
men; let US turn out and consult together, and
we will have our Union party and its original
principles to act with in the coming election.

va Some of the Democratic papers are very
much opposed to making their party the tail of

that I" the movement is intended to end in the
formation of new party, and in the entire abb

a complete obiteration of its name, principles

A BOLD ROBBERY IN THE CoUNTY.-About day
light on Wednesday of last week a horse, car
rage and harness were stolen from the residence
of DR.. Schieb, residing about two miles from the
city on the Washington road. The carriage and
harness, valued at about $l75, were the proper
ty of J.B. Askew, Esq, the Clerk of the Crimi-
nal Court, who is temporarily residing there with
his family The horse, valued at about $3.50, is
the property of DR.. Schieb, to whom the place
belongs. The colored servant of the family saw
two men take the horse from the stable, harness
him to the carriage and drive off, but she thought
they were the gentlemen of the house. No infor-
nation of the thieves or property had been receiv-
ed last evening.

MS Captain Gallagher, at the meeting on
Tuesday, had much to say in praise of Governor
Swami, of his devotion to country, loyalty, &c.
Does the Captain remember conversation that
took place between himself and Gov. Swami i'll

stating that it was while he was engaged in or
ganizng company for the army. He waited
on Gov. Swami and other gentlemen, soliciting
pecuniary aid, as it was rather up hill work at
that day recruiting men Mr.. Swami told him
he was out of politics that he did not want office
