A REVIVAL OF KNOW NoTuINaIsM-A
secret political association, it is stated, has
been organized in the city of Baltimore. 1t
is modelled after the pattern of the old Know
Nothing party, of whose dcfunct body it
appears to be merely a fungus outgrowth.
1t has grips, signs, passwords and all the
paraphernalia which distinguished its de-
ceased prototype, and its proscriptive ten
denotes are of the same general character
q war upon citizens of the Roman Catholic
faith being one of its cardinal features, and
thirst for office its distinguishing charac-
teristic. Its members are for the most part
religious fanatics, broken down politicians
and hungry office seekers, of every shade of
political opinion-the Republican element
being predominant. We have our doubts if
any man of standing in the State will con-
sent to be sacrificed as the leader of such a
political conglomeration. 1t is the last re-
sort of disappointed Office seekers and enc
mics to the welfare ofthe State, and people
once deluded and deceived by Know Nothing
ism, will recognize the paternity of the So
called Independent movement and estimate
it at its true value.

Resolced, That we point with just pride to
the administration of our State affairs by the
Democratic Conservative party, intr- frm
maintenance of the law, for the pure admin
: istration of justice, for the advancement of
public education, and for its strong support
of our admirable system of public schools ;
for the financial skill displayed in keeping
the evidences of our State debt in such rank
among public securities, and for the general
good order prevailing throughout the limits
of the State
ResOtced, That i'm the nominees of this con-
yention the people will find gentlemen fit
for the various positions for which they are
named, whose past fidelity in public station
Is n pledge for the proper discharge of any
new duties imposed on them, and we appeal
to men of all shades of party opinion for
their support of these candidates, who en-
body in themselves those cardinal character
istics of faithful officials-honesty and capa-
city-and we hereby pledge our most ear
nest efforts TO secure their election at the
polls.

Our Radical opponents are just now ex-
tremely busy in endeavoring to foment dis
satisfaction in the Democratic party, on ac-
count of the late nominations and propose,
IN generous, selfsacrificing spirit, to aid
ali independent movement looking to the de-
feat of the Democracy Their efforts will be
fruitless, however. The contest for the
Democratic nomination for Governor was
sharp and excited between the friends of
Messrs. Hamilton and Carroll; but we are
gratified to perceive that the supporters OF
Mr.. Hamilton-among whom were number
ed some of the Oldest and most honored
members Of the party-have given evidence
Oftheir fealty to the Democratic faith by the
announcement of their intention to support
the nominee of the convention. No man
ever had more earnest and sincere support
ers than Mr.. Hamilton; and he was in every
respect worthy of them They would natrl-
rally feel disappointed at the result; but we
are sure that even Mr.. Hamilton himself is
too faithful Democrat to imperil the sue
cess and perpetuation of Democratic rule, by
giving the slightest aid or encouragement to
an independent movement of any kind
There is certainly nothing in the ticket it.
(, self or in the platform of the party to which
any Democrat could possibly object. Both
are unexceptionable. Amy movement, there
fore, looking towards the nomination of a
so-called Independent ticket is simply de-
u. vice of the Republicans to regain control of
tho State. Democrats should scorn TO be
ID found in such company; and we are satisfied
that long before tho election the Democracy
of the State will be unit for the ticket at
the head ofour paper, and in opposition to
any and all schemes which may be concoct-
{ ed aud attempted by Radicals under the
:. guisc of Independents. Hartford county VIC
know will be, as sine ever has been, true to
her party faith, and will roll up larger ma
jority than ever before for the Democratic
ticket.

FIRE.--On Sunday night last, about 10
O'Clock, the barn of Mr.. Robert w. Holland
near Bel Air, caught fire from some unknown
cause, and was totally destroyed, together
with its contents, which consisted of rs bar.
rels of corn, 200 bushels of wheat, 40 or so
tons of hay, portion of his crop of oats, q
reaper, thrcshing machine, and other agri
cultural machinery. The flames also com.
municated to the spring house and the corn
house, which were close to the barn, DESTROY
ing them also. The dwelling house also
caught fire several times but was saved by
the active exertions of the neghbors, who,
when the water failed in the well, fought the
fire with brush. A quantity of poultry also
persisted in the fire. Mr.. Hollands loss will
be about $780, on which he has insurance
to the amount of 1870. Mr.. and Mrs. Hol.
land Werg both severely burned in endeavor-
ing to save their properly. A PARTON ofthe
wheat destroyed was from last years crop,
and the remainder consisted of Mr. Hollands
entire crop of this year.

From the Baltimore Ga=eHe.
Apart altogether from those personal quail
ties that so amply justify the choice of the De-
mocracy OF this State, there is, at this juucturc.
in the nomination of the Hon. John Lee Carroll
for the Governorship of Maryland, a peculiar
sense OF fitness, of which we are about to speak.
AS the great grandson of Charles Carroll of
Carrollton, the last surviving signer of the Dec
laration OF Independence, and the man who so
lar as wealth is concerned, risked more for the
good OF the cause lie so heartily espoused than
any other whose name is appended to that i'm
mortal instrument Mr.. Carroll's claims to the
honor bestowed upon him would be wcighty
and worthy of consideration. But when TO this
hereditary distinction are added n purc life n
conscientious discharge of the political duties
that have already been devolved upon him, n
personal dignity tempered by an unaffected
courtesy, talents of a high order and fine sense
OF honor that would scom to do mean thing,
the choice of the members of the Convention
which has just closed its session cannot fail to
meet not only with the approval of their own
constituents, but also of the Democracy of 9TH
er States.

The Platform.

The declaration of principles by the DEM
ocratic State Convention Of Maryland, will
meet with the unqualified approval of the
Democracy of this State, and also of the
whole country. The platform reiterates the
cardinal principles ofRepublican government
enumerated by Thomas Jefferson, which en-
brace the doctrines of home rule, freedom OF
religion, of the press and of the person, an
economical and honest administration of the
public revenues, &c.
1t protests against high protective tariff
upon people already oppressed by gigan-
tic National debt, enrichng the few at the
expense of the many.
1t asserts the equal claims upon the foster
ing care of the government of agriculture,
manufactures and commerce. and that no
favoritism should be extended TO either at the
expense of the others. 1t protests against the
multiplication of federal offices, the assign
ment to them of unusual high salaries, and
the abuse of federal patronage, which tends
to dwarf the States and corrupt free institu.
tions.
Upon the subject of the currency, the voice
of the Democracy of Maryland, speaking
through their authorized representatives
gives no uncertain sound. 1t isemphatically
and positively for hard money, demanding
that such measures be adopted by Congress
as will result in the resumption of specie pay
ments at the earliest possible moment
1t also takes the solid ground of opposi-
tion to the granting of subsidies to railroad
or steamship companies, or other nonopo-
lies, as "unwarrantable in law, corrupting
in tendency, and utterly subversive of the
principles of good Republican government"
The administration of our State affairs by
the Democratic party is pointed to with
pride, the nominees of the convention heart
lily endorsed, and with an appeal to men fall
shades of party opinion for their support of
these candidates the platform closes

EXAMINATION OF TEACHERS,
Prof. Henry held his annual examination of

teachers present, majority of whom were fe-
males. The examination went on very pleasant

down. | would say, however, to Mr.. Henry,
that he cannot depend on those females for pey.

too pretty to be left at rest as teachers and that
they viii probably soon receive calls for other

HAND HURT.
On last Sunday week two men, who live near
Deer Creek, had quarrel, when one of them
got his gun, and presenting 1t at his antagonist,
attempted to fire. A hystander thrust his hand
between the descending hammer and nipple and
prevented discharge, but the force of the ham
mer cut his hand. His timely interference prob
ably prevented homicide.

STRANGE FREAK OF A WEAsRL.-A few
days ago lady living in this neighborhood
while engaged in making butter in her spring
house was surprised at seeing a weasel enter
the door and come towards her. Ficking up
a stick she struck the animal several times,
and succeeded in driving it out Turning
again to her duties to her establishment the
weasel once more entered the spring house
and running towards her sprang into the
identical vessel in which she was making
butter. Dislodging the creature from his che.
sen hldins-place fight took place between
them for possession of the spring house, the
weasel finally running up the lady's dress and
taking refuge on her person. Not being able
to dislodge the intruder she grasped him
with both hands in the folds of her dress, and
went out to the field, where her sons were
at work, who promptly killed the weasel,
and relieved their mother from an awkward
predicament
