Tas PALTINoRg GAzETTe.-A few ~eeks
ago it was announced that tbs Baltimore
Go,zette would cease to exist wish, the close Of
the old year, bot the rg,sE, To whom. il was
sold failed to comply with the terms, ard thu
Gzzefte was issRed on Mon3ay hs>i as usual,
the pres, dent Of the publishing company an.
nounsing IN q card that the paper vould be
continued and new life and, more cspital
would be put in it. Every. Democrat in the
state should be glad cftlis determination, and
Democrats ef Maryland should rally to is
support. The party sholld have daily Jour
nal in BALTIMORE and tbs G'tsetSe ean supply
the want with proper encouragement.
Maryland possesses some as iinc county
journals as are published in the L MON papers
that ada much l. the character Of the respcc-
tive counties in which they are published and
sfinulste their readers to gr0a;er advance
mens. Among them are the Towsoniawn

urday last, and the Upper Marlborough P'fnos
Georgian, which mas entered uponi,s 2isi year.
We extend the compliments ofthe season 20
each, with the wish tina; their editors may he
spared for years to come so as TO eontinue the
good work in which they arr enlisted.
TIE BALTIMORE TfNES-Thc Baltimore
Times sl,rang into the field Of journalism last
SUNDAY, and Is quite neat and attractive in
appearance. That is the best We can say Of
II, aud its appearance IS It's chief merit. Pro
Tossing to be independent, il seems to b. the
most radical Of the Republican papers Of the
state How could It be otherwise when il Is
edited and controlled BY Republicans. The
managing editor is from Massachusetts,, an0tss
er editor Is from the Wilmington. Del, NsSs.
Grant Republican pAs,er. and all the S-a,orS,
as far as we haze knowiedge, ar. Res.abhhans
and come from other states In fax itappears
TO be a real Yankee journal pie = IN a South
ern city, whose enterprise, n is estimation,
IS Of the antiqusSed kind, vAOse public schools
are inefficient, whose city governments is cor
rupt, and whose entire system needs remodel.
ing. II stars out vita enumerating many
Improvements ~ sslch II SAYS must be made.
II has undertaken ~. run the city and state
upOnits pec,jlss ideas, and makes loud threats
against those who 60 contrary TO It's views.
The politics Of the paper are not objection
able-onlY II sails under false ideas, being
radically Republican while processing TO be
indeyendent in politics. II matters not from
what sections come the editors, If they come
to link their fortunes with ours and not as adj
yenturers If as the former, they should have
shaken the dust from their feet before they
began to carp at everything in the city and
state. The Times, it would seem, has been
founded for the purpose Of cnlightening the
benighted citizens of MARYLAND, and we pre-
dict that it viii meet with the same fate as one
Ella. of Massachusetts,, who started out just
after the war to enlighteu and instruct the
Southern people in politics, agriculture and
commerce, and to show them the way TO build
up their sections. He had an idea that HE
Southern people we're a semi-civilized raec,
lacking in education and morals, whose sply
occupation was using the bowie and the re-
avolver. Mr. Ella first addressed an assembly
at Winchester, Va, then he went on up the
Shenandoah Valley to Charlottesville. The
people eyerywhere gave him respectful hear
ing, but at each place he was replied to by
some of the citizens At Harrissnburg Hon.
John B. Baldwin, one Of the most finished
orators and scholars in the Safe, replied to
him. At Staunton Hon. 4. H. H. Stuart,
we believe, met him, and at Charlottesville,
Hon. Shelton F. LeakeA Mr.. Fla was no
match for any of his antagonists, and at the
close of the discussion AT Charlottesville, he
got M and announced that he did not expect
10 meet such talent in Virginia. He said that
at first he thought those who answered him
were gentlemen of exceptional attainments.
But. when every town at which he spoke
seemed to number among its inhabitants some
able, educated aud talented gentleman who
was more than match for him, he said he
concluded that he could neither instruct nor
enlighten the people of Virginia, and he
switched off at Charlottesville and returned to
Massachusetts.
With the self suffcency peculiarly Yankee,
the Times has begun similar work under
taken by Mr. Ella, and like him it will come
TO grief Marylanders may not be as progress
siye as their northern neighbors, but its jour
nails are not continually filled with reports OF
failures defalcations and swindles within the
state limits, such as occur in the progressive
and Give sections of the country, and the
people of Maryland are not anxious to become
smart.
