the Radicals of fact or two they seem
to have forgotten;
One branch of Congress is in fer
ment to day about the sale of several
colored people in Maryland, under de-
cree of court, after conviction of crimes
One of the parties--Dick Harris-was
found guilty Of stealing beef, and sem
fenced to be sold for six months. Not
being very valuable wooden fabric, he
was bought in by his brother for fifty
dollars, and he is now working at An
napolis for eight dollars per week. Had
he been a white man, the law would
have required sentence of from one to
fifteen years in the penitentiary. None
of the other blacks who were sold
brought so high figure
The law under which this sale was
made was passed by a Radical Legisla-
ture and approved by the Radical Gov
ernor Bradford. In the Senate it re-
ceived every vote except two, and the
House stood forty-eight to six. =
What is singular enough-or what
would be strange in any other times than

agitate for a convention of all the States,
to meet and adjust upon the basis of the
fundamental principles of the old Consti-
tuition and the Union, the new and mo-
mentous questions, and the altered con-
dition of things arising out of the late
war and if the bargain which our
fathers made for the sake of securing a
Union and Federal Government at all, is
to be set aside under pretense of estab-
fishing exact justice and equity, and
States are to be dealt with as the mere
creatures of the Federal will and pleas

moulded to suit the fashion Of the hour
and Of the interest of those who can
secure and hold the power, it is not a

now forming in the river opposite this
city. IT, length is about one MILE ana
its elevation above the presenttide about
four feet. In the course OF two years
cottonwood will be growing upon 1t, and
in four years, there will be no landing at

frirhlful encroachment be made upon

formation would prove injurious to us
There is no hope that other agencies
than that of human skill will arrest It,
