Ter. He would make US believe that
The pillars of the Constitution rested
upon bis and their shoulders. He was
the great defender of the rights Of
the people of his city, and worthy OF,
as he had received, their unbounded
confidence. Sir, I assert it here that
he never enjoyed any public trust or
honor except by violence and fraud
combined. Three times has he come
10 this House by the aid of the blud-
geon and dagger of the Plug Uglies;
aud he now occupies his place here by
favor of the bayonets of brutal tyrants.
These are the honorable instances which
be can point to as displaying the con-
fdence of free and unterrifed consti-
tuency.
But, Mr.. Speaker, commenced with
saying that it was ungracious in Mas
sachusetts to cast slur at Maryland
for practicing crime of which she was
herself part and parcel. True, Mary
land should suffer greater shame, for
she had before her the example and
guidance of the noble pilgrims who
landed on the shores of st. Mary's,
while degraded Massachusetts, sucked
jim fanaticism and intolerance from the
rock Of Plymouth. Sir, the man who
twill be guilty of the blasphemy of per-
yseeutins and prescribing his fellow man
for his religious opinions, especially in
this country where the Constitution
guarantees their free exercise, is unwor-
THY Of place on this footstool Of God.
1T leads, necessarily, to resistance and
bloodshed, and he who inaugurates such
a system knows it, and is wickedly and
basely willing to enjoy the emoluments
and houors of this world, il honors
they can be called, though stained by
the blood of his fellow-man. All, sir,
the very first blood that was shed upon
earth flowed from this cause; and sir,
a brand as indelible as that imprinted
by God upon the brow of Cain should
be placed upon the brow of him who
proscribes brother because he wor-
ships the living God with a sacrifice
which he thinks acceptable.
Let us link these names as the cham
pions Of civil and religious liberty.
Messrs. Editors, again repeat that
this is no time to correct abuses in the
party. If there be such, correct them
within the confines of the party. Do
notsseek the aid of our enemies to de-
feat ourselves. Some other time may
be better than this. You democrats of
Baltimore City allowed this evil Vote
for the party now and correct the evil
when you can do SO legitimately.

Which never can be filled.
With this notice csme statement that this
child was taken sick last Winter and continued
so for about two months. About the middle Of
March needle two inches long, which she had
swallowed, was taken from between the larger
ribs Of her right side. After the needle was ex-
tracted she seemed TO get better and for two
months excited no apprchensions of danger
But later she began TO grow worse and the at
tending physician says her death was the re-
suit of inflammation caused by the needle.

Messrs. Editors st Swithin has at
last ceased his watery labors after three
months of continued and refreshing
showers, and Old Sol has now taken his
place at the wheel and is trying bis hand
at burning and parching up what little
crop old St. Swithin has left. The to-
bacco crop has been very much injured
by the wet weather and the farmers are
very busy trying to secure it.
Last Thursday evening I started to
st. Clements Bay on business, and Just
before l reached the village I overlook
a bevy of beautiful and lively young la
dies, who Were enroute for that place to
attend one of Professor Gregory's in
imitable performances. The Theatre
Royal was again dressed in her gayest
colors, and was soon filed with the
beauty and gallantry of Briery Branch,
the Back Woods and surrounding neigh
borhood, with a small sprinkle from the
Eastern Shore. The pit and galleries
were filed with the colored population,
who enjoyed themselves very much, if
laughing is any sign. Professors Greg
DRY and Coats did their best to amuse
the audience, but some of the company
soon grew tired of the performance, and
by yawns and gapes seemed to signify
that they were not very much amused.
His negro representations are very good
and his panorama is excellent.
Messrs. Editors, some time ago had
card published in the BEACON pro-
posing plan for the solution of the
trouble in which the Democratic party
of the county is still placed, andI called
upon some of the leading politicians of
the county to come to the rescue by
proposing some plan by which the diff
ticulty could be settled, but not one has
had the courage to enter the arena and
beard the lion in his den. At that time
l proposed that the candidates should
all meet together in Leonardtown and
draw straws to see who should be the
ones to lead the party in the coming
contest, and I still think that it would
give more satisfaction than any other
way. / understand that some of the
candidates are in favor of that nlan, and
| have heard of but one man who OBJ
jected to it, and he gave as his reason
that if he should be successful the peo-
pie would call him the straw candidate.
| think it is time that some of the can
didates should say what they are will
ling to abide by, and that the Central
Committee might give US the benefit of
their opinion on the subject.

SYLVESTER J. COSTIGIN, in the
9th year of his ago.
1t is not only just and proper, but we
deem it duty and the last friendly act
in our power to the deceased to bear
testimony to his many virtues, to his
kindness of heart, his enlarged Chris

hospitality that was unbounded. In
his domestic relations he was ever kind
and gentle; courteous, considerate and

the world; beloved by his neighbours,
and to the poor and needy he would
cheerfully have shared the last morsel
if their necessities demanded it. His
intellect was Of a high order. a thor

tIN UNION THERE Is STRENGTH. -
The September Term of our Circuit
Court viii be an excellent time for DEM
ocrats to meet and consider the ways
and means of relieving their party Of
its present chaos and confusion. If
our party suffers the present scramble
race for Office to continue, defeat, in part
at least, is inevitable. The Republican
party is already organizing in our coun-
ty for local and Legislative positions and
the action of the Westminster Conven-
ton, which meets to-day,is likely TO con-
solidate and develop herei its fullest effec-
tive force. Be this as it may, if every
body is allowed to run on his own hook
with our party's approval, the Republi-
cans are masters Of the situation and
either nominate for as or beat us out
right. In this state of the case, it is
encumbeht on disiaterested democrats,
which are nineteen-twentieths Of our or
glnization, to see that their party is or
ganized without further delay, and VIC
hope, therefore, that initial measures to
This end will be taken ut the proposed
meeting on the 22nd.

[CoMMUEIcATED.
THE REFORM MOVEMENT IN
BALTIMORE CITY.

Messrs. Editors belonging as do
to primitive section of the State, to
that part where was first planted the
standard of civil and religious liberty,
and belonging to a section where cor
ruption in high Office and politics has
never held sway, therefore I can look
dispassionately upon such things in 9th
err sections, and can view with equal
dispassion any effort at reform Of such
evils. Just now our friends in our
largest Town, Baltimore City, have in
augurated, as they pretend, a reform
movement, corrective Of such evils as
above enumerated. We, of the coun-
try, have been thankful to the democ-
racy of Baltimore City for the aid given
in the elections of our State, and be-
lieve that without its aid we could not
possibly be successful against the radi-
cal power of the State. But short
time ago Democratic Convention was
held in the City of Baltimore for the
purpose of nominating candidates for
the offices of Governor, Attorney Gene
raj and Comptroller. At that Conven-
ton the Hon. John Lee Carroll, the
Hon. Charles ]. M. Gwinn and the Hon.
Levin Woolford were selected as candi-
dates for these offices. Since, it has
been claimed, that certain corruptions
and rings in Baltimore City secured
these nominations, and this reform
movement has been inaugurated for the
purpose, pretendingly, of putting down
this corruption and these rings. Bal
timore was entitled to twenty-one votes
in the Convention, while Mr.. Carroll re-
ceived sixty votes. Was there corrup-
ton and rings in the counties ? Give
the counties their choice. The trouble
in this is, that putting down these
evils NOW is putting down the party
After the nominations have been made
the candidates must be elected if it is
wished that the Democraticparty should
be successful. Why did not the voters
of Baltimore City turn out at the pri-
maries and vote and assert their senti.
ments? Allowing as they did these
preliminaries to go by default, they
seek now to defeat the nominees and
the party. Beat corruption and rings
within the party, but, for Heaven ssake,
do not beat the party. Do not join
with radicals who are bolstering you
up, and who are laughing in their
sleeves at this disaffection in our ranks.
