Foreign Ne,ys.

Gable dispatches state that the Salz.
burg Conference continues to occupy
public attention in Europe. 1t is said
that the agreement between the Emper-
OTIS Of France and Austria involves not
only the formation OF a Southern Ger
man Confederation, but also resistance
to any Intervention in the Eastern ques-
tiop, and the settlement of the Schles-
wig trouble. In relation to Mexico, il
was determined to make joint demand
for the body of Maximiliau, aud to pro.
tcct the citizens Of both empires in
Mexico at all hazards. The semi-oiiicial
paper at Berlin fercely attacks the Salz,
burg Conference, and asserts that deEui.
tive arrangements were made for the
formation Of pro-Austrian German
Confederation Adyices from Spain re.
port an resurrection in Arragon, and at
hast advices the insurgents were carry.
ing everything before them.

The new Constitn,ion.

We Pupli1h on our ufs1 pasc au atti-
Gle from the Baltimore Saa, which
shows the essential changes made BY
the new Constitution. IL was pub
lished in full by the Daily papers Of
Baltimore on Monday last, aud We hope
that copy of the instrument viii be
soon placed in the hands of all who De.
sire to see il. The Convention labored
most earnestly to perfect it, and we'be-
ieve have made decided improvement
90 the preceding Constitutions. That
il should be perfect IL is unreasonable
10 expect but it is the best under all
the circumstances, aud where any one
Of US might think We could improve it
the chances are that we may be mista.
ken.
The important questiouto decide now
is--what is to be done wi,h@itl No
Democrat or Comparative, aud no one
who wishes 70 be thought an opponent
Of Radicslism, should hesitate about
giving j, his support. Not only should
they 50 to the polls TO vote for il, but
they should feel au interest in inducing
others to sustain il, and to swell its ma
iority in the State to the highest posi-
bic figures. In the first place, as it Is
a decided improvement, it would be
great folly to permit it to be voted
down, aud thus lose the money expcn-
ded on it, and have to fall back on the
Constitution of 1864 which was SO Oh.
.noxious on account Of its provisions and
the mode it was forced on the people
In the next place, il our friends
should be lukewarn, aud allow this Con
stitution TO be lost, or even to be carried
by small majority, it will be taken as
an evidence tina; the Radicals are in,
creasing in strength aud favor in Mary,
land. That party has shown its hand
oflate so plainly in its determined ci;
fort to crush out free government in the
South, and put the negroes in power
there, and TO do the same thing il
Maryland if chance offers, that it would
have very bad effect to allow them t
come even near success at any election
in this State. But these questions come
up di. ectly in this election. 1t is til,
time for a final decision Of our peopl,
whether they approve or not the mode
in which the last Constitution was fas
tened on the State. 1t makes the poin
directly, whether or not Maryland il
willing to amalgamate whites aud blacks
in her government. If this Constitu
tion be voted down il will be though
every where that MARYLAND is ready Il
accept the yoke of Congress, aud rip,
for monsrclism. If it be carried BY
small majority, though owing as i
would be to other causes, yet it woult
vastly encourage Congress to take charg,
of our State; aud VIC would fnd, to,
hate for redress, tho dreadful result o
apathy, or opposition based on minoI
considerations. This Constitution cal
aud should be carried by twenty FIVE o.
thirty thousand majority, and il il b.
not so carried our people will make a
great mistake. Let all petty jealousic,
and disappointments be forgotten, AM
let us 60 to work in good earnest I,
procure a result which viii tell favorabl,

We observe among some Of our Dem
ocratic contemporaries of the press dis
position to find fault with President
johnson because he has not been able
to stop the usurpations of Congress, nor
restore the Union on his own plan
They attribute this 10 his hesitation to
discard his Conservative Republican
advisers, and to be guided by Demo
cratic counsels. With due Difference
We beg leave to admonish them that
they may not have been infalliblc them
selves in times past, and very possibly
may now be mistaken, both in regard to
the suficiency Of their own views aud
the capacity Of their party to save the
country without extrinsic aid. 1t is
time We should learn wisdom from the
severe lessons Of the past. The Demo.
cratic party, as such, may be as power
less 10 combine and control the con-
ficting elements Of the country so as to
bring order out Of the present chaos, as
IL was to prevent the late destructive
civil war. Its great cohesive power did
hold the nation together for a time !;
but it could not always resist the ton
sion, and finally yielded to the fate Of
all others and parted asuuder
To say that the Democratic party
North did not suffer during the late un-
happy times would be " falsify history.
Not having any cause of quarrel With
the South, save that which ended in
the disruption of the party in 1860, aud
naturally avcrse to a war which they
had no agency in bringing on, the man
agemept Of that war was consequently
assumed by their successful political OPP
ponents, whose errors In involving the
country in war were measurabiy forgot
sen in the confusion and bitterness Of
the strife. A small portion Of the par
ty Left its organization and acted With
the Republicans and about an equal
number openly condemned the war, aud
were the means Of casting upon the
whole party au imputaiion Of disloyalty,
from which many ignorantor prejudiced
minds are not even yet disabused This

the Democratic party was unavoidable;
but j. is unfortunate that some Of them

temper Of the very presses which com
binc in dcnouncing the course Of Pres

two years aiser The war, every State Of
the North is yet fast in the grasp Of the

s.AND THE COL0RED TROOPS FOUGHT
BRAVELY -

Official returns from all the counties
Ofthis State show the election of HON.
GEORGE SHARSWOOD to the office
of Supreme Judge for the ensuing fif-
teen years, by majority of 794. This
makes the Democratic gain in the
State since last year about 5000, and
since 1865, 800! The Legislature is
close, but owing to the infamous APP
portionment under which the people
labor, will be again in the hands Of the
Radicals. A number Of Democratic
candidates for the Legislature, were
defeated by but few votes. Another
fire along the line, and the Legislature
will also be Democratic.
In Ohio, the Democrats have carried
both houses of the Legislature, secur-
ing the election of Demo cratic U. S.
Senator in place of Ben. Wade. The
Governor Is IN doubt, the majority De-
ing but few hundred either way. A.
bout 800 negroes voted for the Radi-
cal candidate, and the chances are that
there will be contested election. The
Democratic gain in Ohio, since last
year, is fully 10000, and since 1868, 1O0,-
900! That Will do for this time.
Iowa, also, has made large Demo-
cratic gains, probably about 10000
since last year. Such is the story from
every quarter, and it will be better still
next year, if the Radicals do not repent
of their sins, quit their agitation of the
Negro question, and cease talking a.
bout Impeachment, confscation, agra
rianis0, and the rest of their deviltries.

The Marquis Of Brute has just return

ports that his party ascended Mount
HecIa on the 18th of August, but OBJ
served no indications of a coming erup-

crater, but there was no symptom that
the volcano was or the eve OF breaking

was leaving Iceland, and when about
two hundred miles distant from Mount

then cOnieclUred that the volcano had

forwards at North Farce, it was ascer-
tanned that the mail steamer, which
which had left Iceland later than the
yacht, had brought intelligence of an e.
ruption which had been 50 terrible in
its nature that the inhabitants of RciI-

THE RESULT IN THE COUNTY.

The splendid victory achieved by the
Democrats of Bedford county, at the
late election, will inspire every friend
of constitutional liberty within the
bounds of the county, with renewed
hope for the cause and renewed energy
to prosecute the struggle for the eredemp-
ton of the country from the clutches of
the vampires that have battened upon
its blood. Many successive defeats mot
in the county. it is true, but in the cOun-
try at large had wrought a feeling Of
despair in the hearts of Democrats, and
it is really matter of wonder that in
the face of repeated disaster, they ralli-
ed again and again, until finally their
banner waved triumphantly above
their fallen foe. In 1860, the county
gave but 1877 Democratic majority. In
1866, we added 107 to this, making the
majority 24l. In 1867, we again added
50, making the majority 339. During
the last three years the contest has been
most fierce and determined, the enemy
straining their utmost to poll every
vote they could muster. But their eff
forts have eliminated, and they will
never again be able to rally their forces
as in the past. 1t is for the triumphant
Democracy, to improve their victory,
by moderation, fairness and justice to-
ward the vanquished, whilst seeking
to exert every proper influence to in
crease the strength of the party. Go to
work now, and keep up the work until
the Presidential election.
