EH-Lct every lover of his coYptpy, and
every one who takes pride and interest
in the prosperity and honor Of his State,
remember that on Wednesday next, vote
will be taken throu ghoqt the State. upon
tho propriety Of calling Convention to
frapo pew Constitution for our rule and
government.
Let the farmer leave bis fields, the
mechanic his workshop, the merchant, his
store house or counting room. aud let rick
or poor, idle or busy give up this one day
TOR the gool Of his State, and for the ppr-
pose Of shaking off the odioqs shsoklos
which the tyranny Of few unprincIplel
men have placed upon them
1t is highly probable that the vile horde
OF mongrel politicians and greedy office
holders. who now fill most of the Offices of
tho State. will place no ticket in nomin a.
tion at the approaching election, but will
simply vote against the call of cto,pyep-
tion; and if their hopes Of defeating tho
call are frustrated. Of which We presume
there can scar ccly be doubt. in case q
full vote Of the friends Of constitutions |
reform should not be pollcd. they hope to
be able to secure the interference :of con
gress in their behalf. on tho ground that
the convention does not represent ma
j,rity Of the people of Maryl and.
At q meeting of the Radical State Con :
vsntion in Baltimore on Wednesday last,
the following resolution, amongst othors.
was adoptod:-
Resoirsd. That we will oppose any new con-
rention set up In sIbversion of the existing con-
stitution under the convention hit which does
not express the will of the majority ofthe people
without regard 10 color, and thai we will, with
the aid of the loyal Representatives of the nation
and by all means in our power, resist and de-
s'roy any ehGonstitution as revolutionary
If the injured and outraged masses of
the people of MARYLAND, are only true to
themselves, and show their realisation Of
the Importance Of the issue that is before
them by voting for She call Of a conven-
tion on:sWodnesdny next the fair structure
Of hope; alluded to in this resolution, and
upon which, the mongrcl, radical, negro
loving party. hopes to frame successful
appeal for congressional Interference, will
be completely swept away from beneath
their feet SO that even according to their
own showing they will not have a plank
TO stand upon.
II the friends of constitutional reform
viii only como out in their might and
Poll full. vote on Wednesday NE K t
Ehey will roll up majority in favor of the
honxention. ,ohich could not be overcome If
M@ vote cf eucry negro, ercry doubtful
man. and erery radical in tie State, ,oe-e
ca& in opposition to the convention. -"
Asd thus would be- demonstrated to
the everlasting shame and chagrin, of
Che reckless AMI desperate rule or ruin
faction who now seek the ruin of their own
State, for the purpose of holding on to the
plpnder. with which they have been
examining their greedy maws for ithe last
three years. and which they still hold in
their tenacious grippe, that the very argu-
ments upon which thoy base their pro-
posed appoalsto songress. prove the direct
oS'vSsse 90 Of as rhaE t4hey Y desired and expect
