Hopeful.

Tie agitation which has been recently
awakened through the newspapers about the
tendency of certain politicians in this State
to manipulate in the interest of the Cop
perlead party has had the effect Of bring
inc out two cards from Judge Bond, one
published in Tic Sun, and the other i'll the
New Yorl, Pos, denying the imputation,
that himself and others Of like ilk, were
conspiring to play the role in Maryland
which has been So successfully enacted III
Virginia and Tennessee. We are glad TO
see this prompt denial OF the Judge bat
then we have seen the same little party clan-
destinely supporting a little penny paper
in the interest of Chase and vilifying Grant,
while they openly professed to be the most
ardent admirers of Grant. We have no
doubt the Judge and his little party will
remain stcadfast in lip allegiance to the
Republican party till opportunity offers to
move into the camp OF the enemy, with a
prospect of rcaping some political advant-
age by the operation, 4 movement we ar
IDENTIFY hope they will never be able to make
with profit either immediate or prospective
In the meantime the Democracy, that inno-
cent old political thief, who can dress with
equal facility in the character of the wolf
or the sheep, and who. like the cunning
fox, is always Oh the scent Of plumber. is
lust now beaming its blandest smiles on all
who promise to lend any assistance in help
ing the party of plumber, i'll place of prin-
cipal, to maintain a lease of power III Mary
land.
Unfortunately for the Judges extrava-
rant professions of love and fidelity to Re
publican principles, we see it announced
that he in company with Hon. f. III. Web
ster, date Collector of Customs under A.
J..l and Hon. Stephenson Archer. member
of Congress from the Third District, will
address a mass meeting of white and col
ored people at Darlington, Hartford county,
to-day This is very suspicious company
the Judge has chosen. 1t is not pretended
that Mr.. Archer meditateS conversion to
the Republican party: as for Webster, he
has Il weakness for changing his old pas
,rre for new. and would make very ull-
certain subject to bet on. The certainty
about the matter, however, is that Archer
and Webster are not at Darlington for the
purpose of haranguing the colored people
in favor of Republican principles, OF OF
Grants Administration, but rather to tell
them that their old masters, who are all OF
the Coppcrhead persuasion, are better
friends to them than " scalawag and carpet
baggers by which epithets they desig
nate Republicans-can possibly be, and il
short that those men who alternately as
sumo the name of Conservative" and
"Democrat . are the proper persons to IT,
ceive advice from, and when the XIV
Amendment is passed, to east their votes
for. This doctrine, we say, is what Archer
and Webster have gone forth to proclaim
Has the Judge accompanied them to bid
their hearers beware of these false proph.
cts? Not a bit of it. The three are on
the same GRAND, which is to proselyte in
favorof a prospective party in the interest OF
Chase that is to comprise the whole Demo
cratic host with as many colored votes as
they can decoy, and trade for; and sore
head politicians claiming to represent the
Republican party, as Swami represented il
two years ago in Maryland, and Senter, al
present, in Tennessee.
