A Tempest IN a Fea-PCt.
Our neighbor, The Dcmocrat, very. often
personates this liliputian connection in the
clements. Last week it got up hurricane
Of the tea pot order over the movement that
has been made in Congress by General
Schenck, who knows all about the virulencc
OF Maryland rebels, to remove the Naval
Academy from Annapolis 10 some more
loyal and patriotic part Of the country,
where the minds Of the students-the com
manders of the future Navy OF the Republic
--w'onid not he exposed to the hlandish.
lncnts of rebel emissaiies and disioyal
social influence. The Democrat gets off Il
great deal Of sentimental craftsmanship and
twaddic over cur endorsement and approval
Of that emncnly wise and iudieioHS move

The history Of our officers in the late re

but a sccessionist and traitor At heart, that
no true republican statesman Will hesitate
for moment about removing the site OF
education of tho boys who are to command

that has the masma OF the shareholders

American freeman burns with shame over
the record of officers of the navy and army,
educated at the nations expense, turning
their swords against her to enlist under the
banner OF slavery and treason, while not a
single private soldier Of the regular army or
navy Of the United States was found faith

The following is fair specimen OF the
mawkish sentimcntality Of secession, ms

the Maryland copperhead of nationality and
