A Change Of Base.

Weobserve that The Laurel Herald and Clean
er has drawn down the independent flag which
II Aoated under the management Of Mr.. J. Frank
Hamilton and run up the stalwart republican
banner under the control Of Mr. II. Wright
Newman. In calling attention TO the change,
the Editor says :--"Dropping the Independent
position heretofore assumed, this will be stall
wart republican JOURNAL advocating 70 the best
Of its ability the principles oil the national repub-
lcan party, marking iss utierances, however,
with SO much of dignity and deeorum as shall
command the respect ofits opPosents while seek
ing the approval and support of It's irisHds,'
Another promise, which he makes in his sala-
tatory, that The will not be blindly partisan but
courngeously frank and honest" will be, we eX
pect, very much in the way OF his advocacy Of
Stalwartism.
In reading hts second CoIumn under tne :. >
of Republicanism In Southern Md, we hnd
that be forgets his promise that "his utieranees
shall be marked with 80 much dignity and deco
rum as shall command the respect Of lite oppo-
nents." How much "dignity and decorum"
docs he display when he speaks Of the malign in
fiuence of Montgomery Blair and Of the election
in 1868 OF the "notorions Ben HarrisF' TINS
curt manner Of alludip4 TO our fellow-ciiEen,
Hon. B. G. Harris, Is, We think, neither digni-
fed nor decorous A republican, we see can
neither forget nor forgive the bold denuneiaiions
which have fallen from the lips Of that gentleman
in regard to the course and conduct ofthat party.
But why he should describe the influence Of MIR
Blair as mAlign we cannot comprehend, since at
the very time he exercised his influence he was
noted republican and member Of Mr. Lincoln
cabinet. The Editor should look at dates. lie
should also be cautious how be distributes his
censure lest he should besmireh some OF hsow
faction, He says :-"When Mr.. Lincoln proPos-
ed to the Representatives Of Naryla 70 pay the
people of our State for their slaves, and when II
was in the power Of those representatives TO have
obtained for the shareholders 10000, 600 Tor
their slave property there WAS not one democratic
member who had the wisdom and courage to close
with the generous offer" etc. Before he made
this charge he should have found ont how many
of the FIVE Maryland representatives alluded to
were democrats. Were Calvert (honored namel)
Leary, Francis Thomas and Edwin II Webster
democrats7 Every one Of these representatives
voted against Mr.. Lincoln's proposition and
delivered to him besides solemn written protest
against 1t. These republicans are the men who
had not the wisdom and courage TO close with
the generous offer" Iftbe editor was aware
of this fact, he should have been, as he promised,
mot bliBdy partisan but courageously frank and
honest and made his charge against the respon-
sible parties. II he will study more closely the
political history fthe last twenty years and de-
termine in reality to be "courageOusly frank
and honest" he will certainly turn democrat
instead of continuing a Stalwnrt- We give him
year in which to make the somerset.
