It was a good while before the copper detona-
ting cap came to be decorated with the
feather Of public confidence. The first caps

had his head so full of them. that he was
more than once heard to declare, playfully,
that his expectations were more than realized,
and that his family never need despair OF

- A correspondent in Baltimore wishes
to know why we don't print Col Schlcy $
military advertisements in regard to the two
new regiments in The Wig. We will tell
Him. For the very good reason that we
have never been authorized to do so. The
Colonel knows Tie Wing has larger crcu
lation than any paper on the Eastern Shore,
and is printed in a county that has furnished
more soldiers for the Union armies than any
other county of the State and if he docsr' t
see proper to advertise in it, that Is his own
affair, not ours. Perhaps he don't want
any recruits outside Of Baltimore, or per-
haps it pays better to advertise only in the
papers of that city, or perhaps - some

and have governed the State by virtue of its
black representation. We ask that the
negro be counted out of our State represen-
tation. He has no political rights, and con-
sequently needs no delegates in our Legis-
lature. Every member who is returned
there OH account Of negro representation is
bogus delegate. The members to our
Legislature who take their seats in Anna
polls, representing those 700 negroes,
free and slave, in the State Of Maryland are
there to stihe the voices, and nnnul the
political power Of III ,000 free white men in
the wealthiest and most enterprisng counties
OF the commonwealth


The writer in the .Americnn tells us:


Doubtless, very soon after peace shall
be proclaimed, the next session of our Legis-
lature will consider the propricty of calling
convention, and by that time the people
will have sufficiently recovered from the
shock of arms to judge calmly Of their inter
ess. That judgment will be formed indie
pendently, and as becomes treemen, without
any eXtrnsic influences either of compulsion
or seduction


Doubtless the Legislature will do nothing
IN the premises, unless the people drive
them into it. The negro is a great political
machine, and the legislators like to keep
him to ride round among their constituents
The best way to enable the "people to form
an Independent Judgment is to expose this
hocus pocus negro business in our State
government that has been hidden from them
so long, and then they will demand and com
pei their delegates to act in the matter
Let the people know that those men in
Maryland, who cry so loud about negro
equality, are the ones who are wishing it to
continue in the representation of our State,
the only mode Of existence it has in the
whole nation, and that to a greater degree
in Maryland than in any other State in the
Uuion.

located here in short time. If so, we
promise the sick and wounded who may be
placed in it the tenderest and most careful
