&c
WHEREAS, it has pleased Almighty God in
His wise dispensaton to take from our midst
William Thompson, of r., Chief Judge of the
Orphans Court of Montgomery county, who
for many years had filed various official posi-
tions OF responsibility and trust Therefore,
be it
ResolUed That it is with deep and heartfelt;
grief that on this the very day Of the meeting
OF this Court, we are called upon 10 mourn
the death of William Thompson, of r., the
Chief Judge thereof,
Resoltcd, That as members Of this Bar, Off
GERS OF the Court and citizens attendant there

a citizen won our affections and by his just
and upright CONDUCT as Judge commanded
our respect and esteem,
ReSoloed, That in the death of William
Thompson, OF r., we recognize great public
and private loss to our county. In many po-
sitions of public trust to which be was elevated

it can be said he performed bis duty in all. In
the many and varied relations which he occu-
pied as private citizen, the grief which now

but too well how his conduct in life had en-
deared him to those with whom he was thrown
in contact.

experience and just appreciation Of right was
to them at all times safe and valuable aid in
the transaction of the business of the Court
Resotoed, That in the death of William
Thompson, of r., we recognize q loss to the
family circle not to be supplied, and whilst
they mourn under this heavy affection, we
sympathise with them and trust that their and
our loss is his gain
Resolced, That we respectfully request the
Orphans Court 10 have these proceedings en-
tered upon the minutes of their Court, and
that copy of the preamble and resolutions be
sent 10 the family of the deceased and be also
published in the county paper and newspapers
of Baltimore city.

Hope for the Country.

We have abundant evidence from all parts of
the country that there is deep and wide
spread commotion in the political elements,
premonitory Of an upheayal that will turn I'M
der the overshadowing system of corruption,
sharp practice, avarce, depravity and profit
gacy that has prevailed since the Radical party
cane into power. Scarcely day passes that
docs not bring us reports of the coming to-
gether Of good citizens in various parts of the
country, 10 protest against the universal,
scandalous and dangerous Generalization 10
which the country has been brought under
Radical rule. There is great hope for the
common good in the movements above refer
red to, they furnish salutary sign that the
people are not going 10 be imposed upon lon
ger by Radical promises made but to be bro
ken that they are sick and tired, and have
tasted to safety the fruits of hypocrisy, and
cant and GINNING, and that the deplorable pass
to which they have been mised requires at
their head the presence Of other counsellors
and other influences than those which control
them.
Where are those counselors and influences
to be found In that party and that alone
that has ever recognized the great truths that
lie at the base of our form of government as
the leading tenets Of our political faith The
Democratic organization has ever been the
party of the Constitution, The Constitution
itself is the very cornerstone of our political
fabric. When its teachings are denied or its
~ at,o al IN
come to their defence as brethren and co-work-
ers in holy cause. Brave, pure and true
men everywhere are now determined and de-
fiant in support Of these very doctrines and
the united action Of all such upon the basis of
the preservation of the government of the Con-
stitution, is not only plain duty but accords
with both the theory and practice of the De-
mocratic party.
10 save the government is our first duty
One ofthe greatest means to this great end is
the preservation and perfect discipline of our
organization. It's thorough training and en-
ergetic action are indispensable prerequisites 10
n victorious contest. Ardent devotion to the
fundamental doctrines of the Constitution is
its bond OF strength and it could not be silent
when they are in jeopardy. Millions of men
rally to its standard because it is and ever has
been true 10 these doctrines, and danger to
liberty, distraction and division would neyi-
Iably follow its disbandment.
While the Constitution lives, the Democratic
party can neither sleep nor die. The certainty
of this fact serves to demonstrate the necessity
for that breadth of view that shall find the
practical means TO unite in harmonious aud
irresistible whole those masses of men whose
opinions on the graver issues of the day are
identical, and whose desires lead 10 the accom-
