The Baltimore american of Saturday
says:
The meeting of the State Central Commit
tee, held in this city yesterday, to inaugu-
rate measures for initiating an active cam
paign in Maryland, was very largely attend
ed, all parts of the State being represented.
The President of the Committee made
brief address, reviewing the encouraging cir
cumstances under which the party would
enter on the campaign and exhibiting the
good grounds that existed for believing that
the Republican vote In Maryland would
show a large increase this fall. Judge
Goldsborough, and others of the Presiden-
tial Electors, who were present in consulta-
tion with the committee, also spoke in the
same spirit. The representatives from the
Fourth Congressional District united in ex-
pressing the opinion that with hearty, Wig
orous effort, the Republicans would be able
to elect their candidate. The Republicans
of the several Congressional districts were
requested to meet in Convention ON the
oath proximo to select candidates for the
House of Representatives, the time of the
primary meetings to be fixed by the county
committees. The Executive Committee
were instructed to make arrangements for
public meetings throughout the State. 1t
was announced that Grant and Colfax Rat
ification meeting would he held at Baltimore
early in September. A resolution was adop-
ted declaring that the Republicans of Mary
land will s'extend a cordial welcome to all
citizens of Maryland who, preferring the
welfare of the nation to the interest Of party,
are willing to unite with us in securing the
enforcement of strict obedience to the ex-
listing laws and the peace and prosperity OF
| the country, by the election of our candi-
dates Grant and Colfax, in the ensning

meaner than those in arms boldly and direct
ly seek tho destruction of the Government I;
for these pretended Democrats sneakingly
and indirectly seek the same end, by excit-
ing prejudice against the Government and
division among the people"
An officer in General Rosecrans' army
said: iae
"Woe betide the secession sympathizers
and would-be peace-makers, when the army
get through with their present work on haud.
The suferings, deprivations, and hardships
of soldier-life are not SO easily endured, and
the cause we are fighting for is too dear to
at-homes who brought on the war, and now
place every impedient in the way of having
accomplished what must be the inevitable
result--the subjugation of the rebellion
Curses loud and deep go out every day from
men and officers, and they are not to be
lightly thought Of.
The One Hundred and Thirteenth Illinois,
at Fort Pickering, Memphis, said: VA
s.We here solemnly resolve that we will
hold that man as traitor, and an eternal
enemy to us, to our children, aud to our
country, who shall propose, or has proposed,
any settlement by which the rebellion shall
be screened from just punishment, and the
country and her defenders cheated of the
fruits Of past victories and present triumph.
Our labors, blood and treasures shall not be
spent in vain"
In an address from 'sThe Soldiers of In
diana to the Citizens of Indiana. they utter
ed the following pledge:
''We expect to come home some day. We
will either come trlumphantly rejoicing over
the accomplishment of the object for which
we have already endured SO much, or we
will come Inundated and disheartened at
our defeat, and the consequent desolation of
our country and our homes. In either event
we will remember and honor those who
have aided and encouraged us by their in
fuence at home, and will visit those who
have sought to defeat us with a retribution
proportionate to the extent of the evil they
have brought upon us and our country"
The time has come for the brave men Of
the Army and Navy to stand by the men who
have stood by them. Let the ballot-box
show that the soldiers can vote for those
who voted for them, and that the party who
refused to let soldiers in the army vote are
not worthy of their ballots now.

STONE or NEW COLLEGE. '1iiNpa
fs PrTrsBURG, Pa, August n.
The great Presidential campaign for Grant and
Colfax has opened in Western Pennsylvania with
hattering prospects for the success Of these
candidates. ,,. WI
General Geary, Governor of this State, came to
California, q town on the MonOngahela river, TO
deliver an address on laying the corner stone of
the Southwestern Normal College, situated at
that place. The attendance at the ceremonies
was said to be the largest concourse of people
ever brought together in this valley. The corner
stone was laid with appropriate ceremonies by
tho brotherhood of l. o. o Il. Of the surrounding
country. After these ceremonies, 10 accordance
with previous announcement, General Geary was
introduced and welcomed by three rousing cheers
by oil present. He confined himself strictly to
discussing the educational topics of the day, and
all who had the pleasure OF hearing him pro-
nounced 1t most thorough argument In favor of
liberal education.
After the close Of the ceremonies the Governor,
In company with other gentlemen, repaired to
Brownsville, where he was hailed by salute
from q cannon planted on tho wharf. In the
evening n stand was erected from which the
General and other speakers addressed a large and
enthusiastic audience. gei
From Brownsville the party proceeded to Union
town, where he will speak Tonight A great deal
of enthusiasm Is manifested for Grant and Colfax,
| and oil expect that Western Pennsylvania will
cast stronger Republican vote this fall than ever
before. HoMERUs.
