EyTo the last, through good and evil
report, the Radical Delegates from this
county stuck to j. A. j. Creswell as their
favorite for U. s. Senator. notwithstanding
his well known and freely expressed cx-
treme views on the questions of returning
Nary land to the condition of Territory
and forcing upon her, by the power Of
Congress, negro suffrage. These men are
supposed to represent and doubtless do,
the sentiment Of their party in this county.
From their action can any one longer
doubt'where that party stands aud what
are their real sentiments? In their every
movement desire for negro suffrage in
this State is plainley manifested.

evidenced by tho s.ssags Of the Eafran-
ohissmcnt bill. AID the favor with which
they have received the bill for calling q
convention, the JuryiBill.and other similar
projects. But here, in Western Maryland
where Rsdicalism has fourishcd whilst
protected BY Federal baJonets, these
things will avail as bat little il. some
charge is not m ads in the mode of select
ing our judges Of Election. The present
JUICES will it is more than probable,
disregard all enactmeuts of the present
Legislature al turn ba,k from the bal
lot box all whose political opinions do not
accord with thsir own. They have here
tofore perverted the plain intent and
meaning of the law to secure partisan
triumph ana will nst hesitate to do so in
the future. Already they are being edu-
Gated by the party leaders to HE IDEA
that the present is not legal Legislature,
and that in disregard of its enactment
they will be protected by congress.

Ia radically Radical, SO much SO that they
have been, so!far. unable to find among
their opponents a single individual, in a
single district Of the county, possessed of
sufficient capacity and honesty to occupy
ths position of Judge of Election, thing
heretofore unknown in the political histo-
ry of this county. That the majority of
the people Of this county should ever re-
Give justice at the hands OF such malig e.
napts is unreasonable to expect, and they
should theresre, receive protection at the
hands of the Legislature, which can only
be accomplished by taking the appointing
power from the hands of the County Com
missieners and vesting it in the. hands of
some other power existing or to be crea-
ted. That this should be done VIC know
TO be- the current wish of . vast majority
Of our citizens, and until it is done, the
people Of this county at least, need expect
no'fsir and full expression of popular SEN
tinent. Will some member of the Legi.-

fully elated that he cannot resist convey

not have been before aware Of Mis fact,

that the mass of his party will not be able
to keep up with him. While many of them
have not yet arrived at that point which
sanctions negro suffrage, Pete, from his
advanced position, is reckoning them on
to social equality-berating them manfully
because they persist in keeping closed the
doors of the public Schools against his
pets. They also know that Pete moves,
or rather did moue with astonishing
celebrity whenever during the war Rebel

Gov. Swami U. $. sana tor.

E5-It is with great grati6sation t'las
we announce the election, on Frilay last,
Of Gov. Swami to the position of IT, s.
Senator from this State for SIX years from
the 4th of March next, to take the place
ofthat notorious negro worshipper John
A J. Crsswell. Tt is particularly graft
flying because we know it is excessively
annoying to the entire Radical party Of
this section of the State who built high
hopes on detection in our ranks on the
part Of the Eastern Shore members. So
intense was their hostility that they pre-
ferred their delegates should vote as they
expressed il, for the veriest Rebel in the
State, in order to defeat Mr.. S. They
have discovered, however, that the party
opposed to them are actuatod by principle,
and not by sectional or selfish motives,
and are too intent upon their eradication
in this State to permit trihes to create
divi, ion in their ranks. This is hut the
beginning of the end-stand from undor.

a very fair prospect Of anticipating in October
the Inevitable November reaction in New York.
The substantial yeomanry of Pennsylvania,
who could not follow Buchanan in 1860 in be-
half Of Breckenridge and the Southern slave
holding Oligarchy, will not be apt to follow
"Old Thad Stevens" in 1867, in behalf of
Southern negro supremacy.
No political party, however strong it may
have grown in the confidence of the people, or
however confident it may be in its strength
and resources, can betray the public confidence
or outrage public opinion with impunity. The
penalty speedily follows the Offense. Our po-
litical history sbounds in such warnings
Take, for example, the nomination of a candi-
date for Governor in this State through certain
party arrangements with a notorious gambler
and mark the result, Notwithstanding the un-
popularity of the opposing candidate on local
issues. On the other hand, we find the late
dominant party in Connecticut reduced to a
minority in presuming to bring forward a
humbugging Snowman as q representative of
their principles and their morality. How then
can the Republican party expect to escape the
consequences of its bad faith with the people,
when the people come to pronounce their judg-
ment upon this presumptuous and dangerous
scheme Of negro supremacy
This is the question now awaiting the popu-
lar iudgment:-Sh the ten excluded South
ern Rebel States be reorganized and restored to
Congress, each and all under a predominant
negro vote from the disfranchisement and dis
gust of white men, or shall Congress itself be
called upon by the people of the North to
pause, reconsider and reconstruct its terms
of reconstruction so as to give the Southern
whites a chance, at least where they consti-
tute heavy majority of the people, as, for
instance, in Virginia, North Carolina, or
Georgia. Upon this question we expect a
political reaction in the North this fall which
will enforce some attention and respect from
Congress. 1t is to the people that we look for
rescue; for while the laws stand as they are,
President Johnson can do very little to stay
their operation, however great the number of
removals and changes he may make. We
look to the people for reaction against this
perillous scheme of fastening upon the coun-
try controlling negro political balance of
power,

The Coming state Elections.

From The ~. Y. Herald.
The great national issue which will over
shadow all others in our coming fall elections
in the Northern States will be the issue of
negro supremacy hereafter in our national
affairs, through a Southern negro political
balance of power, contemplated and broadly
foreshaddowed in the Congressional pro-
gramme of Southern reconstruction. The
Republican party, from Abraham Lincoln's
election to the Presidency down to this scheme
of transfer of political power in the South
from the white to the black race, has been
sustained by the almost unbroken voice of the
Northern States in all its measures; first, for
the suppression of the Rebellion, and next,
for the reorganization of the Rebel States ON
the basis of universal liberty. But in this bold
and dangerous scheme of putting the Southern
political balance of power over our national
affairs in the hands of the blacks, just released
from the darkness and Generalization of negro
slavery, it strikes us that only in another
form the Republicans are making the same
fatal mistake which was made by the late
national Democracy when they attempted to
perpetuate the reign of the Southern slave
holding ohgarchy, with their laws, DEGREES,
and dogmas for the perpetuation and extension
of slavery itself.
This is but the swinging of the pendulum
from one extreme to the other-it is steering
from Scylla to Charybdis. What peace or
harmony can we hope for in exchanging the
insolent rule of the late three hundred thou
sand Southern shareholders for the rule OF
live hundred thousand Southern negroes, who
but yesterday were slaves, and the descend
ants of ignorant slaves for hundreds of years
The experiment involves an outrage upon the
enlightened public opinion of the Northern
states, which will surely meet with decisive
rebuke.
We cannot doubt that this desperate expert
ment OF negro supremacy will be emphatically
condemned by the voice of New York in our
coming November election. A change OF eight
or ten thousand votes in the six hundred and
add thousands Of this great Commonwealth IS
but a bagatelle; but it will suffice to revolu-
tionize the State. Upon this broad and distinct
question of negro supremacy, however, we
may look for a change of thirty, forty, or fifty
thousand, as compared with the figures OF our
last November election. In Ohie, with Vallan-
dlgham and his obnoxious Cepperhead notions
again IN the foreground, there is but gloomy
prospect for the opposition elements They
cannot be combined ON Vallandigham or under
Valandigham. But in Pennsylvania they have

forests. We consider IL q great public msfor-
tune, and source of extreme regret, that so for
tunate an opportunity for their reconstruction
should be permitted to pass unimproved, and
cannot but hope that the Major General COM
manding this district will, through his efforts
and influence, devise some means TO give direc-
tion to this labor I'm the manner Indicates,
thereby resolving present evil into q public
good"
If Congress will take up this proposition,
it will do good to a whole people, without
regard to color or condition. If it does not,
these freedmen may say:-"YOu give us the
ballot to vote for you, but withhold the bread
to subsist ourselves and starving families" {"
The employment and aid solicited would re-
concie all to the justice of a Government
which, in the hour of triumph, listens to the
cry of despair.

Minority Representation In England.

Minority Representation In England.
From The ~. T. World.
We are in an epoch of marvels. That more
thorough Reform bill than was ever contem-
plated by the Liberals should have been origi-
mated and passed by Tory administration, is
wonderful enough; but even this is outdone
by the origin in that citadel of Toryism-the
House of Lords-of measure so progressive
as the representation of minOrities in Parlia-
ment. But the wonder ceases, in both cases,
when we come to understand the motives. In
bringing forward the new Reform bill, Lord
Derby's administration have acted as our own
Southern statesmen might have done, had
they recognized the inevitable doom of sla-
very, abolished it themselves, enfranchised
the negroes and claimed the credit and graft
tude due from the emancpated race. In poll
