Come from your long long rowing,


on the sea so wild and rough;
Come to me tender and loving,


And shall be blessed enough.
Where your sails have been unfurling,
What winds have blown on your brow,
I know not, and ask not my darling,
So that you come to nae now
Sorrowful, sinful and lonely,


Poor and despised though you be,

Some of his Prescott; admirers would have him sample a bottle of their wine; the Major, to please them, complied with their wishes, and ever since the unlucky moment he did SO he has been unwell. To the friend who thus unwit. tingly doped him, he returned the following assay of the contents of the bottle: I pint bilge water, 10. yerdigris, balance saleratus and bedbug poison. He also sent request that he might have the agency for the sale of this invaluable exterminator The Major is now as well as could be expected under the circumstance.

% The peopleof Maryland have spoken and
their voice has the ring OF justice and con-
sistent wisdom. They have announced
anew that the complaints they have made
heretofore against the malicious and pro-
ScriptiVe instrument under which we now
live are we'll founded, and that the ostra-
cism and oppression 1T embodies is no part
of their political faith. They have now by
their votes proclaimed to the world, what
all along we have contended, that the dis
graceful provisions of our present organic
law, the spirit of hate and intolerance that
pervades it, and the perpetual grant of
party supremacy it was designed to estab-
1ish, were not the adoption of their free
will and never received the validating sane
ton of free peoples choice. They have
uttered a voice of Condemnation upon the
Ubiquitous instrument itself, and reaffirmed
the silent protest Of two years ago by dis
claiming this offspring of malice and tyr
annous usurpation as any act of theirs.
They have vindicated themselves from the
obloQuy and disgrace which it attached to
them, and proven again that it was the evil
generation of party fraud, sustained and
imposed by martial force.


In the verdict, then, of Wednesday last
we recognize a great popular triumph. By
it the people have shaken off the shackles
which bound and degraded their State, and
have renounced and repudiated alike the
motive, and the act that enchained and dis
graced her. Their Intelligence and courage
have risen above the insecure provision of
a temporary relief and the angry threats
of an arrogant usurpaticn. True it is that
che emphasis of their decision falls short of
| the magnitude of the issue, and hardly cor
| responds with the clamor of their COM
plant. 1t was expected, however, that
when-the test-hour came the boasted cour-
age of braggarts would tail them, and the
contracted ideas of many would not permit
them to comprehend the broad question
submitted to their consideration. That q
number of bOisterous, vociferous patriots
would shrink from the responsibility their
blatant lamentations invoked and invited,
was anticipated long before the election
That those whose timidity had been tutored
to groyelling by military domination and
tanatical violence would lack the moral
courage to come to the polls and express an
opinion, was properly expected. This ac-
counts for the smallness of the, vote polled
on that occasion. The ten thousand voice
less ones, who favored a convention and yet
were willing to leave the credit and Fespon-
s1bll1ty OF their friends and neighbors, we
| trust will not fail to enjoy the labor and de-
vot1on Of their more thoughtful and Tn-
hinehing compatriots, and that when their
rights are assured and the bug-bear of q


snarling faction no longer intimidates, they

The House of Representatives has pass

vote of a majority Of all the registered cleo
tors Of State Oh the question of ralifying
The constitution. If the Senate cOncuIs in
the action OF the House majority of the
votes actually cast will determine the rali-
fi.ation or rejection of the constitution.


This is right. There is no sound reason
why all voters who die or remove from The
State between the registry and election, al
who are sick, absent or indifferent should
be counted against the adoption of a con-
stitution. Such an unfair rule is not fol
lowed in any other elections, and we are
glad TO see the action of the House in re-
moving this anomaly from the law provi-
ding for the restoration of the late rebel
States. We think there is no reason to
doubt the passage of the bill through the
