On the 9th of March next tho Con-
yention Of the party which by the
power Of the bayonet held supreme
sway over the liberties Of sopr people
for six long; weary years, will assemble
at Baltimore. There Is nothing Of
special moment 10 this fact, because
now that tho shackles of despotism
which so long ehthralled our citizens
have been cast of, and the days for the
use Of the plea Of the tyrant-"mili-
taEy necessity'-have passed away, we
hope forever, no evil need be feared
from this endeavor Of the remnant Of
Radicalism in Maryland to patch up
its shattered ranks aud prepare for the
contest for the next Presidency.
But there is one subject TO which We
wish to direct attention. By resolu.

Radical leaders. For poor Sambo was
from the first only intended to be used
IA o steppipg-stone to power which
could be obtained but by usurpation
and double.dealine.
Thus whilst the votes of the ignorant
millions Of blacks 10 the South are to
be used 70 elevate a Dictator, under the
name Of President, to lord over the
destinies Of the nalion, this same class
of people IN Maryland are ignorcd, be-
cause the alliance has proved an odious
one. But the blacks have learned to
claim their rights from their brothers
in the good cause, and the Baltimore
Post, newspaper published in the in
terest Of Chase and manhood sui.
frage, concludes a review Of this action
of the Radical Central Committee with
the following note Of warning TO the
negroes:
'l4et the colored men Of Maryland
mote the conduct Of these men. Let
them nnmask their hypocrisy aud dou.
ble-dealing, aud in the day Of their
power profit by it. When they arc
wanted to keep these men, these gen.
tlemen, in power and place, none 50
subservient as they; when they arc
wanted % give eclat to political
movement, they are welcomed; but when
they begin to assert their rights az men,
and to act and speak for themselves, 10
that moment they are ignored and spat
upon, and treated with undcservcd con
tempt. And this by their professed
friends. This by men who need their
services, and who in short time will
be soliciting their votes, and declaring
themselves the veriest friends Of the
colored men. We want our colored
friends 10 this State aud our Radical
friends everywhere TO know that the
true Republicans Of the State utterly
repudiate this deed"
