lS-The Cumberland Times, rampant Demo-
cratic newspaper, has very poor opinion of ''re-
formers" or those who leave the Democratic party
to assist other Independent voters in sndeavoring
to right the many wrongs committed by the DEM
ocratic State ring Referring to these independent
voters, whom it sneeringly terms 'reformers, that
paper says:
"These are the kind of buzzards who hover over
the political field and watch the Republican jackas
who scent the prey, when they join in the seram-
bic for the carrion. These are the crows who wait
to hear word of dissent on the part of few from
the opinion of the many, and then cav themselves
hOarse and cry reform They are disruptionists,
and no sagacious leader who hopes for political
future will pin his faith to such people"
This is evidently dig at Gov. Hamilton and
those honorable gentlemen who have the manli-
ness to stand by him in his eortE to save the peo-
pies money and give US an economical State gov
eminent. The Times evidently does not like Gre
form within the party"

5E1- The readers of the UNION will no doubt
miss this week the letter of our regular Balti-
more correspondent, "Nestor," and will deeply re-
greet to learn the cause thereof Col. John Wills,
an aged member Of the Baltimore bar, who has for
years furnished weekly with interesting letters
over the nom de plume of "NestOr," was stricken
with paralysis while sitting in his Office, corner
Calvert and Lexington Sts., on Friday night of
last week. Not reaching home on the night
named his wife grew anxious for his safety and
early on Saturday morning went to his Office where
she found him alone and in an unconscious state
He was removed to his residence on St. Paul St.
extended where he has since been lying in a crit
ical condition. This will be very sad news to his
numerous friends and acquaintance in Baltimore
county, Who with ourselves, earnestly hope for
his speedy recovery. On Tuesday before he was
stricken down Col. Wills spent a few hours in
TOwsontown, and was apparently as we'll as usual.
He had always been = remarkably healthy, robust
man, and we had frequently heard him say that
he had never been sick day in his life.

JEs~Ws are pleased to see that there is gen.
sral disposition the part of the better class of
Republicans to send, as far as possible, unpedged
delegations to the county convention, which meets
at TOwsOntOwn, Saturday, May LIST. This is the
only way by which fair expression of opinion
can be had and will do away with the system of
convention packing which has for long time dis
graeed both political parties in Baltimore county
Select none but true and reliable men as delegates
men who cannSt be bought by promises or in
Inundated by threats-and the party can be lifted
from the mire into which it has been sinking for
some years past. If good men only are chosen
delegates we believe the rank and file of the party
will be well satisfied with their acts

He tells as little as possible, but he still tells

"The king of France,
With forty thousand men,
Marched nn the hill and-the
Marched down again.


The doughty warriors (although having been
told) seem yet "anxious but aimless," like the
Massachusetts, maidens, in knowing how they shall
do something for their countrys good. How the
siren voice of charming promise we were wont to
hear of yore is now become "the still small voice."
Silence reigns and peace rests upon the mighty
labors they toere to achieve for "my people, sir"
The groaning mountain labored-mus ridicul,ts
nascitsr. The exalted horn Of plenty wherewith
they toere to shower upon the furnishing voters
genial deluges of measures reformatory and re-
trenchatory, has now dwindled to piping penny
trumpet, once "full of sound and fury" now "sig-
nifying nothing"
Voter and constituent, how vast tho difference
compared with the sunburst of promise and great
expectations that so dazed our longing eyes when
we were an army of voters marching along,
thousand score strong, great hearted gentlemen,
singing this song" Chow stale, fat and unproft-
able" has been the resulting outcome of victorious
triumph when paaned forth the 10 Triumphe.
But perhaps after all their acts of benevolent
legislation may be not unlike that beautiful char
ity which teaches u.s. let not the left hand know
what the right hand doeth let not your good
deeds be seen of men. We, the people, should be
like the old Scotch woman, in humble Difference,
who, when asked if she had understood the SER
mon, replied, "the guide God forbid that 1 should
hae had the presumption" But yet let us pray
without distinction of party, Requiescat pace to
their retiring shades. May the peace that will
pass their understanding attend them in their un-
disturbed repose from which the call Of their coun
ty so rudely awakened them. Enter thou good

ES-Can any one give good reason for our not
having heard of the Delaware peach growers SO
far this spring? Surely the late weather has been
quite enough to warrant them in coming forward
with the usual doleful tales of short crops or total
failures Besides, it is getting rather late gen.
orally they report long before this and we know
our fate in all its disagreeable details by the mid
die OF March. Can it be that they are dissatisfied
with the rain and are waiting for fross? or are we
to have full crop from the Delaware orchards
after all? Unless we hear decisively in short
fruit will be both cheap and plenty during the
coming season.

1S-The case of Gen. Fitz John Porter has been
indefinitely postponed in the United States Sem
ate and it is generally believed that it will not be
called up again before December next, the Demo-
cratic Senators fearing that any action favorable
to the General would have a damaging influence
upon their party. The success of party is ad-
Vaneed under all circumstances, and the rights of
the people must bide time when there is ne con-
test pending. This is about the measure of Dem
ocratic craftsmanship, and it is as little as it is
contemplate.
