swann---special Pleading.

Thomas Swami made speech to his secession
friends in Baltimore, congratulating them upon
the success of his diaboical scheme of subverting
the laws of the State. Any one who reads it can
not fail to be filled with pity and contempt
for the State Executive who makes a special plea
oftwo hours for an Office at the hands of the &C
knowledged disnnionists of this State. In his
pompous and filibustering manner, he declaims
loudly about Southern rights, but does not for
a moment intimate that the North is entitled to
any.
He clamors loudly about his loyalty, and the
good faith of the men who are using him as an
instrument to carry out their designs, while ma
ny of his audience are at the same time cheering
voeiferousy himself as always having been a
g Southern man, and opposed to the iron heel
of oppression that has been laid upon the necks
OF his Southern brethren for daring to assert
their rights Thomas Swami wants to go to the
United States Senate and to accomplish this end
he would bind the shackles of Maryland and
hand her over to a doom worse than that which
befel Inflated Hungary or Poland. By his ig
nominious betrayal of the loyal men of Maryland
be has earned reward at the hands of men who
regard treachery as mark of honor. He has
cast all upon the result Of this desperate game,
and even should he win the prize, be has lost
that which is more precious than silver and gold
the respect of honest men. We hope he will
be sent to the Senate Thomas Swami in the
Senate, and John Morrissey in the House, will
stand as a monument, truly representing the fall
len state of that carcass of democracy which lies
buried beneath

Missouri and MARYLAND.

The State of Missouri, with an honest, upright
and conscientious Governors Governor who
took solemn oath TO see that the laws of the
State were strictly enforced and has kept his
oath--rejoices in loyal victory such as was new
er gained by any political party in its past histo-
ry Maryland, with precisely the same laws,
and the same constitutional provisions, excluding
fhe dsloyal from the exercise of the elective fran
chise but with Governor bent on disregarding
the laws and repudiating all constitutional pro-
visions that stood in the way of his personal am
bition, has been wrested from loyal hands and
given TO the control of those who labored to make
the war a failure, and whose sympathies through
out the rebellion We're with the enemies of the
Union.
This victory in Missouri settles the destiny of
the Slate, and the grand career on which it has
entered will not be interrupted. immigration
from all the Northern States will now pour it's
resstless food over its borders unchecked by the
fear of Rebel rule The ST. Louis Democrat, in
announcing this grand victory, exclaims I" Yes
"terdays vote will double the value of real es-
- tate IN missouri, VIII auu 10 It's POpulallOu one
"hundred thousand sturdy, intelligent and ne
Z" terprising workers, and will assure its future
beyond all possibility of question. Onward
I" the State marches in a career of prosperity
4" which will soon make it the Empire State of the
+" West" What will be the result of the victory
obtained by our opponents in Maryland ? At
what cost to the future prosperity OF. the State
has this return to disoyal hands been effected
The pro-slavery dynasty has now full control,
and the loyal men who aided TO put down the
rebellion are virtually disfranchised by the faith
lessness of their Governor to the trust reposed IN
him. The value of the real estate had been
doubled by the loyal position it maintained up
to that day of the election. Immigration was
flowing into our borders Northern capital seek
ing investment, and skilled labor making it's
home amongst us. Whether the position the
State has now assumed, ranking itself with Vir-
ginia and Georgia, will check its progress, time
alone will disclose. But We have strong faith
tina: the State will soon be wrested from the con-
troll of those who have obtained it by treachery
and unlawful means, and again assume is perma-
nent rank with loyal Missouri.

The BALTIC. Police Commissioners.

Judge Bartol, on Tuesday last, rendered his
decision in the case of the Police Commissioners
of Baltimore city We have not room for the
entire document, but, in order that our readers
may know his decision, we give the following
summary oft:
Frst-That the objection to the amended COM
mitments OF Messrs. Young, Valiant and Thorn
son is not sustained, but that it is his duty to
determine whether for any, and for what cause
alleged the petitioners are lawfully detained, and
to decide whether they are entitled TO be dis
charged with or without bail
Sscond-That a forcible disSeisin OF the build
ings and property held by Messrs. Wood and
Hindes, even if wrongfully held, would be an
indciable offence, as tending to breach of the
public peace, and looking TO the testimony OF
Messrs. Fuller and Ball as to the declarations of
Mr.. Valiant with regard to himself and Mr.
Young taking violent possession, there is prob
able cause shown for their arrest aud detention
under that charge, and it is his duty to hold
them to bail to answer the same.
Third-That removal OF the Police Commits
sioners by the Governor during the recess of the
Legislature has the same force and effect as re-
moval by the General Assembly-their powers
under the law are identical, and their decision
alike final. That for parties thus removed TO
hold on with strong hand, and to continue to
exercise official powers, is to resist the iighful
| power of the Governor. Hence the order hold
ing Messrs. Valiant and Young to bail in $40
900 not to attempt to exercise the powers of Po-
| lice Commissioners, was issued without lawful
| jurisdiction or authority, and he cannot remand
the parties to prison or hold them to bail under
that order ~
Furth-In the case of Sheriff Thomson the
Judge decides that the commitment is not lawful
cause OF detention, it being issued without oath
or affirmation charging him with conspiring to
riot but if it had been so issued he would have
been compelled to decide the same, that be acted
in the clear discharge of his bounden duty in
obeying the order of Messrs Young and Valiant
to summon and swear in a posse comitatas.
Messrs. Young and Valiant were held to bail
in the sum of $4,000 to answer before Judge
Bond the charge of attempting breach of the
peace and Sheriff Thomson was discharged from
custody. The new Commissioners Immediately
issued order to the police force to obey no or
ders except such as were given by them, and the
old Commissioners, yielding, as they always de-
clared they would, to the decisions of the law,
announced their willingness to hand over their
various trasts to the new Board. Thus the mat
ter is settled. The police force and surroundings
of the city is in the hands of the democratic par
ty once more through the treachery of Governor

The present democratic strength in Congress
is "A. Estimating from the States which have
voted, and the present delegations of the remain
ing States, the Copperheads will lose three votes,
leaving the radicals a majority of lo2
radical gain of four Senators must also be
taken into account. Two of them have lately
been chosen, namely the Hon. A. G. Cattell,
of New Jersey, and the Hon. H. w. Corbett, of
Oregon. The new Legislature of Pennsylvania
has to elect a radical Senator in place of Hon.
Edgar Cowan democrat and that of New Jersey
to make the same amends by supplying the va
cancy caused by the death of the Hon. William
Wright, democrat. To these must be added the
Hon. Cornelius Cole of California, in place OF
Senator James A McDougall. Should Colorado
be admitted, two more radical Senators will be
gained We have.lost Senator in Maryland,
lea wing four as our gain.
To recapitulate Tie Senate stands at present
