Good Tidings.
There are glorious indications that the days Of
treason rule in the State OF Maryland ara almost
numbered, aud that the pooplA will never again
cntrusi the management OF their political affairs
~ the party now In power. There seems TO he a
general awakening on the subject, and almost
every man you meet, OF those who ever profcsscd
one sentiment Of UniOnism, is loud aud fierce IN
lennncaiion OF la,ler-day democracy.
Last Gall, many good and true Union men
thought the measures of the L unconditional Union
party were too stringent for a time OF peace aud
first tried TO commit their own party to policy
Of Cancellation. The great bulk Of that party,
however, and particularly It's soldier adhecnis,
knew democracy and treason well they knew
how the one had run insensibly almos, into the
other, and they kncS the numbercss woes which
tina, other had brought upon the nation, and,
consequently, advocated the lime-honored doc
trines Of the Union party as measures OF good
policy and absolute safety Finding the party
determined to stand firm In its opposition 10
treason, those Union men that advocated less
harsh measures determined 10 form third-ihe
ConservaIiSe-pariy. Democracy saw in this
practical method for their own political advance

vaiism. They aided and abc,,ed the now full.
