The Radical Memo rial to Congress-

&a-Of all the disgusting, disgraceful, con-
tenlptible and at the same time ludcrous literary
productions that we have ever read or heard of
the memorial signed by nineteen radical mem.

sented to the House Of Representatives by tina,
hoary headed and black hearted old fanatic

from beginning to end Is an Lnmxed tissue of

The most l,ughable part of this memorial
though its Stiffness throughout might provoke the

"The danger Of bloodshed is imminent and the
times are porilous. We call upon congress no,

The Constitutional Convention and
the Western Md. Rail Road.

Lnc /" cSIer0 mu. ItalI ltOou. -
HAmong sthe numerous and weighty
re1sons that have been urged in favor of
= Convention to reform the Constitution
OF the State, there is one that addresses
itself pecul iarly to ti,e people of Washing
ton county in gonc:af, and to it's business
men in particular, irrespective OF party
which has not been to onr knowledge COM
9enfFed upon. andt0 yhich We desire y call
tleir attention. - ~. -. ...
Phc completion Of the Western Mary
land Rail Road to this point, is an object
in which our people are deeply interested,
and to the accomplishment Of this desira-
Bile end. slarge amount Of money has
been subscribed. both by the county and
by private individuals. ..... -.
It is we'll knoyn that Mayor Chapman
Of BALTIMORE. who is also President of the
Western Maryland Rail Road. sits like =
heavy incubus upon the hopes and pros
poets entertained by the, friends of the
road, of its early and successful completion
The TRICKY and Geeeitfal course Of
policy pHrsled by that functienary has
been such as TO convince all who were not
particularly interested in maintaining the
contrary, that Mayor Chapman while pro-
Tossing flo be gardently in favor of the
earliest possible completion of this impor-
tant road, was in reality only actuated by
q desire to put money ip his Qyn pocket,
and That the power which belonged to
him as Mayor Of Baltimore city, Of Sc
lccting ut the earliest practicable timo
suitable location for the road. would be
used only for bis private pccuniary ad-
rantago. -
Th ese convictions have 50 impressed
themselves upon our people. that tho COM
missioners of Washington county very
properly refused a fow months ago to pay
The county subscription to the road. until
it hsd bean completed to the borders Of
the county.
We had hoped that the Legislature
which has just adjourn d would have
passed the bill ordering 3 new Municipal
election in Baltimore city, but from some
unaccountable bungling or hocus poous-
sing which weado not pretend to under
stand. they failsd to do 80. ,.
Had such bill been passed, Mayor
Chapman. who represents hardly one sixth
Of the citizens of Baltimore. would have
been ousted of the seat which he now
holds, and better and more honest man
put in his place. who we trus. would not
have used the influence which he possess
Sod as Mayor, in locating the road, solely
with riew to his own pecuniapy advap-
tage. ,..
As long as Mayor Chapman continues
iu Office we confess to many misgivings in
relation to the completion of the Western
Maryland Rail Road; aud the only posi-
bic way to get him out of office now, is by
the asscmbiage Of Constitutional Con-
vention. which would have the power and
We doubt net also the will to relieve the
people of Baltimore from the illegal aud
ridiculous mockery of City government.
under which they have been suffering,
and which would at the same time infuse
new life and energy in the friends of the
Western Maryland Raj! Road in this
county.

Maryland free press., 1867-04-04


Ne- The Herald of this week contains, as We
believe, a useless, wanton and mischievous as
sault upon that old and fhvorite institution of
our county, the Mutual Insurance Company
We venture III 0 conjecture that something more
than consideration of the interests of the racm-
bers of the Company, engendcred the malice a nd
the venom which prompted the article in ques-
tion. From the known habit of the senior Edi:
tor of that paper of prostuting its columns 20 the
gnoble purpose of indulging his personal and
private spite and malignity, against those whose
course of action may have run counter to his
will and wishes, we rather suspect that ger tlcman
has met with some disappointmcnts at the bands
of the company.
But we have neither time nor space this week
for an extended notice OF this malicious rigmarole
of the H:rdLd, even If one be necessary to vindi-
cate the character ofrhe company from the spite
ful aspersions of Peter Negley. We rather sus-
pcct the Company will survive all his attacks
in this community, without any assistance at
our hands. We will therefore con ntent.'ourself
simply with saying, that the gentlemen who
compose the Board of Directors Of the company
are all business men OF our community, of in
telligcnce. .rcspce liability worth and honesty who
haye controlled Its affairs FORA number of years
and lin this, the community have !guaranty,
Ar. Negley to the contrary, that its affairs have
been wei wisely, hanestly and equitably ad-
minstrel: indeed lhcre could be no inducement
upon the part Of the Board, all of whom have the
81 ME and only the same personal interest in the
company as its Other members, and serve it
grntuitously, to administer it otherwise.
And lin regard tiI 9he legal questions involved.
suffice ii to say, there is in the Board as much
legal lore and acumGn, as ever entered into tue
head, or could be crammed into the head of Mr..
Hegey; ana in this those interested have the as
suraEce that the assessment made is fair, Just and
legal according to the provision of The charter
by which and under which it only could be
made. In conclusion, we must SAY, we reere,
the violent attack of the Heynli because we be-
leve it to bc not only unjliSt6aLle and mali
cious, hnt mischievous and useless. And we
dismiss the Herald article, with the suggestion,
and we tknk it n wise one, to the members of
the company, to treat Mr.. Negley,s lucubrations
with the contempt which its gnobc motive ahd
design only deserve. Such a course will save
them trouble and promote those interests involv.
ed in the company.
