Indeed, nobody can make any pafy
capital out of the transaction. No
body of much intelligence supposes
that either party is too honest or too
mindful OF the public welfare The
people have ultimately to foot the

hold their servants accountable for

The Public School System.

The Baltimore american having played the
other day the original and comic role of adviser
to the Democratic party, which it recommended
10 vote against the new Constitution because il
abolished slavery and repudaed the States re-
sponsibilty for damages TO the former slavehold-
ers, has resumed its other character of the friend
and champion Of popular education. AS neither
Mr.. Van Bookseller nor the system which he de-
vised and administers is regarded with much
favor in the State, the new Constitution provides
the "system Of Public Schools as now constitu-
ted shall remain in torce' only until the end Of
the first session Of the next Legislature unless it
shall be adopted or continued by that Leeisa-
ture. 1t also makes it obligatory on the same
Legislature during the same session. if it does
not continne the Van Bokkelen system, TO 'cs-
tahish throughout the State thorough and
efficient system Of free public Schools" and
provide for their maintenance.
Notwithstanding this, any one would sup
pose from the American'S camors that there
were TO be no more public schools and no sys-
tenn OF free education in the State after the adop-
ton ct the new Constitution. 1t has doleful mis-
givings about the darkness which is to prevail
over the land when Mr.. Van Bokkelen's sun
shall have declined, and it is affected almost to
tears by the reflection that on the abrogation of
his system the rising generation will thenceforth
be taught in a few scattered barnsand log cabins
only little reading, writing and ciphering. AS
it appealed the other day 10 all little boys and
girls TO assist it in keeping up Mr.. Van Bokke-
lens educational towpaths, lest food of igno-
rance should pour over the State on their reno
val, so it now calls upon the maturer youths of
the community to lend their hel 1t admonistl-
es them that "lf they are young men let them
cast one eye on the future and consider what
they may wish at no distant day" This is
slightly ambiguous direction, nor is it perceived
why the future should be scanned with only one
eye Bnt if any one of our contemporaries read
ers intends to look at it in that way, he cannot
better employ the other for the time than by
reading with it the section of the new Consttu-
ton which provides for the maintenance in the
immediate future of Free Public Schools, and he
will find the An,ericdns lamentations about the
abolition of free schools to be really call in his
eye.-Baltimore Gazette"

To the Polls.

Let every friend of liberty and equal laws turn
out to the election, on Wednesday, the 18th
inst, and give his support to the Constitution
then to be submitted 10 the people. Let no OPP
ponent of favored class remain at home on that
day. Remember that "vigilance is the price of
liberty" and inacton the forerunner of defeat.
Read the Resolutions of the Democratic State
Central Committee, below and act up to them
in line, word and syllable, and we need have no
fears of the result. Good men everywhere,
without regard to former political differences,
are uniting for the purpose of relieving this peo-
pie of an organic law to which they were not
parties.
Much can be done By every man. Let all,
therefore, put forth their strength, and rally to
the support of Constitution made by the true
representatives of the people of Maryland. Re-
member what energy and activity has done for
California ard Connecticut. As great victory
can be achieved here. Read the following reso-
lutions
Resolved That the Democratic Executive CON-
mitces of the several counties and the city of
Baltimore, are hereby requested to use their best
efforts 10 secure the adOptlOn OF inc new Constr
tuition by the largest possible vote and for this
purpose to effect thorough organization of all
who are in favor of the adoption of the said Con
sitution, without regard to past political asSoci
atoms.
RESOLVED, That in the event of the adoption of
the new Constitution, the chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee is requested to
call State Convention, the call to be addressed
to the Democratic and all other conservative vo-
tiers of the State, the Convention to meet in the

What Think You of It :?

We wonder what the people of Maryland
would have said if they had been asked, ten
years ago, if they thought that in the year 1867
the negrots of one of the old thirteen States
would assemble in Convention and resolve that
their white brethren ought, of right, to be ad-
mitted TO the ballot box on equal terms with
themselves? 1t would have sounded strange
then, and many of our leading Republicans of
the present day, we have no doubt, would have
felt very indignant at the mere proposition. Yet
strange and unnatural as it might have appear
cd ten years ago, it is true now. AT meeting
held on the 3lst of August last, by a number of
blacks, at Columbus, Georgia, number of reso-
lutions were passed, among which we find the
following
3. We are in favor of immediate restoration
Of our disfranchised fellow-citizens to all rghts
privileges and immunities and to full and COM
plete citizenship.
As we have said before, this resolution, coming
from negroes, would have sounded strange in
Clay's and Taylor's time, but it is not odd
enough now to surprise anybody, unless, indeed,
the generosity of the negroes who assembled at
Columbus might be wondered at.
None will forget, we suppose, that among the
"disfranchised tellow-citizens" upon whom the
negroes of Georgia desire the right should be
conferred, is the Hon. John Bell, not many years
ago the candidate of a great political party of
white men, for the Presidency of the United
States, and the Hon. William A. Graham, who
was at one time the Wing candidate for Vice
President of the same great confederation o
States.

THE Conn CRoP.-The corn crop in this coun-

ward to be heavy. Corn fields look well every
where, hut the corn is very green for the time of
year, and some time must yet eapse before it will
be ready 10 cut up, or TO top and blade. This
is owing to the unusual quantity of rain which
has fallen this season. The ground has been
kept wet all summer, and this has caused corn,
more or less, TO overshoot ITSELF which IN some
instances, is serious injury TO the crop. We
have heard persons express fears from frost, but
