FOB COMPTROLLER, COL. ROBERT BRUCE, of Allegany County. FOB DISTRICT, Hon. JOHN L. THOMAS, of Baltimore City.

FOB CONGREB8 DISTRICT, WILLIAM J. ALBERT, of Baltimore County. The Union Mass Meeting. The Union Executive Committee of the county have called a Mass Meeting of the true friends of the Union, to assemble at Towsontown on Wednesday the 12th day of September next. The speakers announced for the occasion are among the best in the country some of them have fought upon onr battle-fields; some have been inmates of Confederacy prison-pens for their devotion to the Union.

They will be here. Let us urge upon our friends the importance of attending. Come out in your strength lay aside business and personal convenience for this one day let our enemies see you in your might. This is no time for luke-warmness we must be active. Our opponents are unscrupulous, and are straining every nerve to give our State and county back into the hands of those who have before almost betrayed them to their ruin.

Come out to this meeting-, and hear the great questions of the day discussed by able and patriotic men. Every arrangement will be made to make this meeting one worthy of the day and of our course. President Johnson. We have been reading over a collection of the speeches made by Andrew Johnson just prior to and during the rebellion. In them he breathes forth the purest spirit of patriotism and love of country, and determination that, so far as in him lay, loyalty should be rewarded and treason punished.

Every one is familiar with his celebrated speech made in the United States Senate, in February, 1861, when the Southern Senators were leaving their seats for the purpose of urging their States to secede from the Union, in which he used the following memorable language: Show me who has been engaged in these conspiracies, who has fired upon our flag, who has given instructions to take our forts, and customhouses, and arsenals, and dock-yards, and I will show you a traitor. Where I President of the United States, I would do as Thomas Jefferson did in 1806 with Aaron Burr. I would have them arrested, and, convicted within the meaning and scope of the Constitution, By the Eternal God, I WOULD EXECUTE He acted up to the the declaration here made while military Governor of Tennessee, and when he received intelligence of his nomination for the Vice-Presidency, in response to the complimentary greetings of his fellow-eitizens of Nashville, he made the following remarkable declarations But, in calling a convention to restore the State, who shall restore and re-establish it? Shall the man who gave his influence and means to destroy the Government Is he to participate in the great work of reorganization Shall he who brought this misery upon the State be permitted to control its destinies If this be so, then all this precious blood of our brave soldiers and officers, so freely poured out, will have been wantonly spilled. All the glorious victories by our noble armies will go for naught, and all the battle fields which have been sown with dead heroes during this rebellion will have been made memorable in vain. Why all this carnage and devastation It was that treason might be put down and traitors punished.

Therefore, I say that traitors should take a back seat in the work of restoration. If there be but five thousand men in Tennessee loyal to the Constitution, loyal to Freedom, loyal to Justice, these true and faithful men should control the work of reorganization and reformation, ABSOLUTELY. I say that the traitor has ceased to be a citizen, and in joining the rebellion, has become a public enemy. Before these Repenting Rebels can be trusted, LET THEM BRING FORTH THE FRUITS OF And be added And these leaders must feel the power of the Government. Treason must be made odious and traitors must be impoverished.

Their great plantations'must be seized and divided into small farms and sold to honest, industrious men." Following his record up to the time of the assassination of Mr. Lincoln, we find no change of views on this important question, and on the 20th of April, 1865, he said It is time the American people should be taught to understand that treason is a in in that treason is a crime, and should be esteemed as such and punished as such." And on the following day, to a Committee of loyal Southerners, he emphatically exclaimed: Treason must be made odious. Traitors must be made odious and impoverished. They must not only be punished, but their social powers must be destroyed. And, after making treason odious, every Union man and the Government should be reimbursed out of the pockets of those who have inflicted this great suffering upon the Time and again he gave utterance to such sentiments, and no man in the Union ranks was so trusted, but a change came the spirit of his No sooner had the time arrived for the enforcement of the doctrine promulgated in his speeches, than Andrew Johnson proved false to his pledges, and commenced a systematic course of pandering to treason.

He now turns his back upon the loyal men who sustained the nation during its period of trial, and is using all the influence of his high to make treason but to make it He gets up a Convention of those who favor bis policy, at which rebel Generals and Senators and Congressmen are prominent members; he takes offices from maimed Union soldiers and them to men who have been indifferent, at least, of the fate of the Government; he refuses to recognize the legally-elected Governor of a sovereign State, because that Governor is a loyal man, and permits a loyal assemblage to be shot down like dogs in the streets of great city. Yet, those who do not Bupport Mr. Johnson and his policy are radical rebels To show the great change effected in Mr. Johnson, no further proof i 3 needed than extracts from Southern papers. 'The Memphis Argus, one of the most uncompromising rebel sheets published, said in 1862 We should to like to see Andrew lying tongue torn from his foul mouth, and his miserable carcass thrown to the dogs, or hung on a gibbet as high as Haman to feed the carrion The same paper, edited by the same man, says in 1866 4 The iron firmness, the undismayed soul of a single man Andrew Johnson is all that stands between us and the fatal vortex of anarchy and resultant despotism which has engulphed the lives and fortunes of many millions before Let us rally to the Bide of that man, determined to save or perish with the A few days ago the following announcement was officially made The President has pardoned Henry A.

Wise, and ordered his property to be restored to him In April last, this same Henry A. Wise, in a speech at Alexandria, said If I am a traitor, let them make the most of it. If lam a traitor, why they try and hang me I have lost my land and property, but I would clean boots on your streets sooner than bow to usurpation. If I had triumphed, I should have favored stripping them Pardon They might have appealed for I would have seen them damned fore I would have granted it. For myself, the boot being on the other leg, I take no oaths I I ask no pardons Has Andrew Johnson changed It is said President Johnson fears assassination, and his dreams are troubled.

The doubt and uncertainty which for awhile hung around and partly obscured all particulars of the recent bloody riot in New Orleans, is clearing away, and the shameful outrage perpetrated upon Union men, by officers acting under the orders of the rebel authorities of that city, encouraged by the President of the United States, is coming clearly to light. A body of some of the best citizens of the Statehad announced their intention of assembling in New Orleans, for the purpose of consulting upon their political interests but scarcely had they gathered at the place selected when an indiscriminate attack was made upon them and a scene of horror ensued which baffles description.

Many were slain, and the hospitals are full of the wounded. Not content with this, the rebels engaged in the massacre turned upon the unoffending negroes of the city, and the result of their attack may be briefly summed up in the report of the Committee appointed to investigate the were killed and nearly two hun- dred wounded. Gen. Sheriden, commandant of the ment of Louisiana, was not in the city at the time of the occurrence, but his subordinate, Gen. 1 Baird, declared martial law in the city, an action which President Johnson condemned.

Louisiana has a Governor, elected by her people, but he was a Union man, and would not suit the views of Andrew Johnson, nor would Gen. Baird. An" drew S. Herron, Adjutant General of the State, and late an officer in the Confederate Army, was 1 made the recipient of communications and despatches from the Executive. One of these reads as follows all illegal or unlawful assemblies who usurp or assume to exercise any power or authority without Qrst having obtained the consent of the people of the State.

If there is to be a Convention, let it be composed of gates chosen from the people of the Here Andrew Johnson passes judgment upon a Convention of a distant State he attempts to dictate to a sovereign State how a Convention should be called and who should sit therein. Is usurpation in a President more to be tolerated than in a State Were all the delegates to the Copper Johnson Convention at Philadelphia chosen from the people any more than were the delegates to the Louisiana Convention Yet Mr. Johnson encourages one, while he denounces the other; sends congratulatory messages to Philadelphia and inflamatory appeals to the other. policy is responsible for the New Orleans massacre, and will be responsible for many more that are to come. But not all.

When Gen. Sheriden heard of the outrages in Orleans, he hastened from Texas to the city and instituted such proceedings as speedily put an end to the disturbances and forwarded an account of the whole affair to President Johnson, severely denouncing the rebel authorities of the city, contending that the Mayor is not the proper person to prevent the assembling of the Judge Abell as a dangerous that no steps have been taken by the civil authorities to arrest any concerned in the late outrages, and advising the removal of Monroe, the rebel Mayor of the city. This despatch was so garbled and altered at the White House before being publicly announced, as to appear favorable to the rioters, but as soon as this garbled statement came to the knowledge of Gen. Sheriden, he caused his real report to be made public, and an open rupture between himself and the President is the consequence, Gen. Sheriden even going so far as to threaten resignation of his position in the army.

As a consequence of his action in the matter, the Southern papers are abusing Gen. Sheriden on every hand. As a specimen of what the constructed think of him now, and of some others of our leading Generals,) we give the following extract from the Union Springs Alabama Times, of August 21st: General Phil. Sheridan grew, during the war, to be quite notorious. His blood is Irish, and, being an Irishman, he was full of He commanded Irishmen.

They would fight. Hence, in an army of Yankee blue-bellies, who were most splendidly drilled in retrograde tactics, and against a man whose taste for peach brandy was stronger than his sense of duty, this little five-feet-eight of resolute Finneganism made some reputation. We rather liked the little fellow on account of his pluck, and were glad to see him promoted, even in an army of cravens and thieves. He studied hard at West Point; he behaved well in Washington Territory, and it pleased us to see him escape the paternal pick 1 and shovel which had contributed largely to the internal improvement of Ohio. Why, then, has he spoiled all by his foolish show of authority Why has he proved to the world that he is only a vulgar ditcher at heart after all, and that bis high rank is not the reward of merit, but the mere results of fortuitous circumstances This is really too bad.

We have henceforth to acknowledge these Yankee hybrids as countrymen, and it would be gratifying to Southern gentlemen to know that some of them had just claims to decency and respect. But, one by one, the leaders of the Northern army show themselves to be only blackguards and braggarts. i Butler turned thief at the start Turchin was a natural born imp of perdition Thomas has displayed a remarkable aptitude for giving white churches to his black betters; Sherman found the torch a more congenial weapon 1 to his unknightly nature than the sword Grant tried to be a politician, and failed as signally as when he attempted to defeat Lee fairly and now one of the small fry, a short-tailed, slimy tadpole of the latter spawn, the blatherin disgrace of an honest father, an everlasting libel upon his Irish blood, the scorn of brave men and the synonym of infamy, Major General Phil.H. Sheriden, has added his name to this list of outrages upon humanity by the issue of General Order No. 14, Military Division of the Reconstructed Republicans.

1 President Johnson seems to have lost sight of reconstructing the Union in his attempt to recon-1 struct the Union party. At all events, it would seem that his efforts in the latter line have been more successful than in the former. Doolittle, Randall, Cowan, Norton, Van Winkle and a grist of collectors, assessors and postmasters have been reconstructed, but where are the recon; structed Southern leaders We doubt if the President has reconstructed as many Southerners as 1 Northerners, even counting in the pardons. Perhaps this is the course by which the Presi. 1 dent intends to make treason and traitors odious.

1 The verdict of the people this fall will stamp the Randall-Cowan-Judas party with the brand of a 1 condemnation, and the nations of the world will see how hateful in the eyes of a free people is the betrayal of their trust. What we have won by the bullet we surely shall not lose by the ballot, and the men who propose this treachery must sleep in a common grave with i their braver brother traitors. The Senators and expectant office holders who have undertaken to reconstruct the party of Lin-1 coin and the soldiers, have a huge job on hand and if they but knew it, they are running a great risk. That party is the party of the people, and they will never forgive any attempt at its destruction. We venture to predict that an office gained in 1866 by deserting the party and the principles which carried us through the great war, will be the last one which its holder will ever enjoy through the suffrages of his fellow citizens in this The Lord of thb World a Tailor by In a speech made to the Protective Association, at Philadelphia, on Thursday, President Johnson is reported as saying I do not intend to be facetious here to night, but we should remember when we refer to the mechanical interests of the country in connection with the agricultural, it is the basis upon which this Government rests and when we refer to the profession that you represent here to-night in connection with yon, my fellow citizens in common, let me Bay that our great father and head, the Lord of the world, was a tailor by trade and when you refer to the historic account of this thing you will find that my remarks are literally We might question the good taste of but passing that, can anybody tell us mr ir fi' tfiiw Politioal Landmarks.

i On the 7th of June, a National Convention i of Union men was held in Baltimore, at which i the lamented Lincoln was nominated for President and A. Johnson for Vice-President. At that time the war was raging, and that Convention was assembled to sustain the Government and support the war for the Union. The very first of the series of resolutions passed by that able body of Unionists was as follows i Resolved, That it is the highest duty of every i American citizen to maintain against all their enemies the integrity of the Union and the para- mount authority of the Constitution and laws of the United States and that, laying aside all i differences of political opinion, we pledge ourselves, as Union men, animated by a common sentiment and aiming at a common object, to do 9 everything in our power to aid the Government 3 in quelling by force of arms, the rebellion now i raging against its authority, and in bringing to punishment due to their crimes the rebels and traitors arrayed against it. This resolution, with the others, was adopted unanimously.

representatives in that Convention were Henry H. Goldsborough, Henry W. Hoffman, J. A. J.

Creswell, A. C. Green, Wm. J. Leonard, L.

E. Straugn, J. J. Stewart, 3 E. M.

Allen, Archibald Stirling, Hugh L. Bond, F. A. Schley, Isaac Nesbitt, John C. Holland 1 and Wm.

L. W. Seabrook. It is interesting 1 now to know how the men who represented the Union men of Maryland at that time stand at present, upon the questions which, unfortunately, divide the Union party of the State and Nation. Of the above named gentlemen, two, (Messrs.

3 Nesbitt and Straugn are dead; one, Wm. J. Leonard, copper-Johnson candidate for the comtrollership of Maryland, is of course, man all the rest of them, true to their princi-3 pies, true to their country, and earnest in supr port of the resolutions of that Convention, are 3 now supporting Congress, and repudiate the 1 traitor who made loud promises of loyalty in or, der to secure the nomination for Vice-President from that Convention. And of the above named 1 gentlemen, only two Nesbitt and Leonard voted for the recreant Johnson eleven voted for Dickinson, and one voted for Hamlin. 1 Thus, while all of representatives in that Convention, except one, support the measures now proposed by the Union Congress to restore the Union upon a sure foundation, will our and men please tell us whether they support the Union representatives and resolutions of that Convention, or the repre' sentatives to, and the resolutions of, the Chicago Convention, which under the leadership of Vallandigham, denounced the Government and pronounced the war a failure Union men of Maryland, with a single exception, all your representatives to the great Union National Convention which unanimously nominated Lincoln for President, are now sustaining Congress in its Constitutional right to re-adjust the revolted States in the Union, and repudiate the one-man policy of A.

Johnson. All the copperhead, rebel and secession representatives to the Convention at Chicago endorse and sustain the one man policy of the faithless A. Johnson- Under which banner will you enrol yourselves Convention of Loyal The National Convention of loyal Southern men, to be held in Philadelphia on the 3d of September, will be a deeply interesting occasion. The men who stood up bravely for the Union flag when to i do so was sure proscription and almost certain death, still find themselves the objects of persecui tion upon their native soil. The President and his adherents have so perverted our great victory 1 as to place all its substantial advantages in hands of those who were implacable enemies of the republic.

Instead of treason, consistent loyalty has been made odious throughout the South) and nothing but a few scattered military garrii sons now remain interposed between the men who upheld our flag against slavery and lion and and a system of proscription and intolerance scarcely equalled by that which existed before the North had vindicated the rights of her citizens upon the battle-field. In this emergency the loyal Southerners, de' nied the protection of the government in meeting and discussing their principles upon their own ground, have called the pending Convention at Philadelphia. The movement is led by such men as Governor A. J. Hamilton of Texas, race Maynard and William B.

Stokes of Tennessee, John M. Botts of Virginia, and the Thomases and Cresswell of Maryland. The Convention will certainly not be attended by James L. Orr, 1 A. H.

Stephens, Herschel V. Johnson, or any other of the Rebel dignitaries. It will be an honest exposition af Union an tificial hollow mockery, such as we have lately witnessed. Traitors will not be taken by the hand and flattered and toadied by Northern syc-1 ophants. Earnest and proven loyalty will alone be recognized and honored.

Subsidized is not a paper in five hundred, in the United States, that supported Mr. Lincoln for the Presidency, that does not sustain Congress and oppose Mr. Johnson, therefore, in talking about a sub. 1 sidized shows where the shoe He tried to subsidize the press as he did the men who held Federal offices, but failed. There never was a more sublime spectacle presented than that shown in the bold front exhibited by the Union press of the United States, in connection with the great mass of gentlemen who held office, from Cabinet Ministers down, to be bribed by Executive patronage.

Never, since the days of John Tyler, was such an attempt made to cor. rupt the people as Mr. Johnson has made, and there is not recorded in the history of this or any other country, a more signal falure than now stands forth prominently as evidence of the integrity of the patriotic press and people of America. The New York News says i The conservative motive power generated by the Philadelphia Convention, has been efficiently attached to the working gear of the Democratic organization in this State, by the conjunctive action of the Democratic State Committee, and 3 the State Committee appointed by the The World announces the coalition in less ambiguous language, and very forgivingly says: As the State Convention assembles under a 8 Democratic call, Democrats can offord to bo toli erant and magnanimous towards Union Union men who are desirous of selling out to the Democrats can learn the terms of their ade mission from this. These new allies will be tol-3 erant and and try to forgive them for having been Unionists instead 1 How Significant.

stronger comment on the character of the late Copper-Johnson Convention is needed, than the fact that the name of the saviour of his country, the mourned Abraham 1 Lincoln, was not once even a formal tribute to his the slightest recognition of his services Can the contemner 3 of Lincoln be the friends of the People We are afraid Andy Johnson has been on i another spree. On receiving the New shire delegation of the late Philadelphia Conven-1 tion, he told them that the Convention was composed of the most intelligent, able and patriotic set of men that has been convened since the days of the Declaration of Independence Johnson is removing all the military commanders in the South who are Unionists, and is filling their places by men who have a 1 warm side for the rebels. Gen. Terry, Gen. Baird, and others, have been superceded.

The Copperheads put up the rooster for the rebel victory in Kentucky. They should not forget the victory of their friends in Nashville and New Orleans. A petition signed by nearly every Union man in New Orleans, asking protection from Congress and loyal citizens of the nation, is now COXJNTY ITEMbT A woods meeting will be held at the Ridge church, on the Falls road, 2 miles this side of Shawan, commencing next Sabbath, the 2d of September, and continuing through the week. lk The M.

The initiatory game was played on Saturday evening on the grounds of the College, when, considering the number of beginners in the game, several good plays were made.

On Tuesday morning the Institute was called to order, and the exercises opened with an impressive prayer by Prof.

Newell, after which he delivered an able, practical and exhaustive address on the subject of education generally, drawing clearly the great difference between what education is and what it is not. Prof. Leakin then in a logical and forcible style discoursed on the disposition which a teacher should make of himself in the school room with his pupils, happily illustrating the beneficial effects of a cheerful temper and agreeable manners, and the baneful results of a morose, peevish, irritable disposition. In the afternoon the subject of reading was dwelt upon by Prof. Newell in an easy, simple, lucid and comprehensive manner which plainly showed that he was complete master of his subject Prof.

Leakin gave his views of the subject discussed in a manner similar to his colleague. The subject of geography was then ably discussed by Mr. Leakin. Mr. McGinn gave his method of teaching mathematical geography by means of cards prepared by himself for the purpose.

On Wednesday morning the subject of spelling was taken up and occupied the entire session. Several of the Teachers of both sexes explained their various modes of teaching this very important but much neglected branch of study. In the afternoon Prof. Leakin lectured on the subject of arithmetic, giving many methods of facilitating the giving of problems to the The Teachers were very much interested in this part of the able lecture as was evidenced by the many questions propounded to the professor during his illustrations.

Their annual festival commenced on Monday, and was inaugurated by a grand parade through Baltimore and to their Park. They have, of course, enjoyed themselves immensely and drank oceans of lager beer, but have maintained good order throughout. Registration Gore and Wm.

As such, you have devolved upon you most important, responsible and delicate duties, requiring the utmost care, attention and circumspection. Upon you, in a measure, depend the good order, quiet and happiness of this community, and to you, so far as relates to Baltimore county, is committed the peace, government and dignity of the State. Of the Judiciary department of the governtneut you form a most material and necessary component part. Without your action, this department is powerless for the suppression of crime, the preservation of the public tranquility, and the punishment of offenders. The Petit Jury has no power to convict and the Judge has no authority to punish until the violators of the law and the disturbers of the public peace shall have been presented and indicted by you.

Crime will go unpunished, public wrongs remain unredressed, and the strong and vicious prey upon the weak and the innocent with impunity, unless proceedings be originated by you. You form the main-spring cf action, or original motive power in the whole machinery, in the punislimet of crime, and the preservation of the public peace. In all governments it is of the highest importance to have the laws respected and Under ours there is no apology for any want of respect or regard for the laws. We are our own legislators, executives and judges. We are at the same time sovereigns and and governed.

We make the laws by which we are execute and judge them. There is, therefore, no excuse for disobedience to laws which we ourselves have made and which we can at any time modify or repeal. Nor is there any reason why we should allow such laws to be disregarded or abused by the disorderly and the vicious. Under the benign principles of our Constitution and Laws, every one is presumed to be innocent until he is proved to be guilty, and the courts have adopted the humane principle it is better for ninety and nine guilty persons to escape than that one innocent person should Whilst our forefathers in their wisdom provided for the punishment of crime, the enforcement of the law. and the preservation of the public peace, they were not unmindful of the passions and prejudices of men, and threw around the prosecution of offenders all necessary safeguards.

No one is allowed to be subjected to the inconvenience, expense, or annoyance of a trial for any violation of law or breach of the public peace, until the charge has been first investigated by a select body of twenty-three of his peers and proved to the satisfaction of at least twelve of that body. Nor can any one be convicted and punished until the charge so satisfactorily proved to that body, be confirmed by the unanimous verdict of twelve other of his peers, unprejudiced and unobjectionable. So that there is no necessity for apprehension of false accusers since no one can be convicted or punished until his guilt is established to the satisfaction of at least twenty-four of his neighbors and fellowcitizens, beyound all reasonable doubt. In view of the many guards thrown around the prosecution of offenders there is much more danger of the escape of the guilty than the punishment of the innocent. And so it should be, for the State is more interested in the protection of virtue than the punishment of vice.

The course of crime is onward. It is ever progressive. It seldom if ever happens that the highest crimes are committed until after repeated minor offences. Innocence is appalled by the heinousness of the higher crimes, and can only be reached by temptations to the lesser and almost imperceptible offences. The path of virtue is the only way of its bounds is perfect safety.

Go a breadth beyond and there is no certainty that you will ever return, nor is there any system by which you can compute the extent to which you may be To prevent crime, it is therefore of the first importance to meet it at the threshold, and punish the earliest and slightest evasions or violations of law. Itjs not only impolitic to overlook offences because they are small, but it is false sympathy to do so, if it be true that the more heinous crimes are always or usually preceded by a multitude oflesser offences. Forbearance to punish, then, is not only unjust to the injured, but positively cruel to the offender himself. It behooves you, gentlemen, to look after and investigate all violations of law, attacks upon the public morals and disturbances of the peace and to bring the offenders to trial. You will perceive then the high and exalted position you important and delicate duties you have been called to perform and the necessity of a full, fair and faithful discharge of those duties, and you will even keep in mind, gentlemen, the golden rule do unto others what you would have them to do to The oath which your foreman has taken, and which each of you has sworn or affirmed to observe and keep, fully and plainly informs you of your duties, and the manner in which those duties should be performed.

A copy of the oath will be furnished to your foreman. You are diligently inquire and true presentment make of all such matters and things as shall be given you in charge or shall otherwise come to your knowledge touching this present You are to be slothful or negligent; you are not to sit quietly in your chamber and wait for violations of the law and disturbances of the public peace to be brought to your notice, or for injured parties to come with their grievances. But you are to seek after and find out all offences against the criminal law of the State, and to ascertain all the facts and circumstances connected therewith by all the means in your power. You are then to make true presentment of all such matters and things, so that the party charged, the petit jury and the Court may be informed fully for what offense the accused is to bo tried and punished. counsels of the State of Maryland, your fellows and your own you are well and truly to keep This is necessary to prevent the escape of the offender whose case is being examined.

It is necessary to prevent interference with witnesses it is necessary for your own protection it is proper for the sake of a party against whom an accusation may be unjustly produced, for the investigation of a charge, however groundless, begets suspicions in the minds of many and causes prejudice and distrust, especially among the ignorant and vulgar. You are not to divulge anything that takes place, whether done or said by yourselves or your fellows not only so, but you are not at liberty to make known what you or any of your fellows have not said or done in reference to any matters before you, for the desired information can be oftentimes obtained as well in the one way as the other, as when a bill is found and the offender desires to know who voted for it, he knows that it requires twelve to find the bill; if he can then find out eleven who voted against it, or did not vote at all, does he not effectually ascertain who did vote for it You are to be affected by no sort of influencej you shall punish no persoit for envy, hatred, malice or ill shall you leave any one unpunished for love, fear, favor or affection, or for any hope or promise of reward. You are to know no one in the discharge of your duties. You are to have neither friends nor foes, neither to be inticed nor intimidated, but to proceed in the investigation of the matters which may come to your notice, uninfluenced by any considerations whatever, except the preservation of the public tranquility and the advancement of the happiness of the to punish all things truly as they come to your knowledge according to the best of your understanding. I am required to give you in charge certain sections of the Code of Public General Laws which will be marked and sent to you by the Clerk.

I desire also to call your attention to an Act of the General Assembly of Maryland passed March 6th, 1862, and known as the Treason Act, which will also be sent to your chamber. This is the only Judicial District in the State where there are four regular terms of Court held in each year, and four different grand In all the others except the 7th there are but two regular terms and two grand juries. Presuming that former grand juries have per- formed their duty, it leaves but about three months over which your investigations will be likely to extend. The last two grand juries by attention and diligence, completed the business before them within about two weeks. For your own sake it is to be hoped that your labors will not be protracted.

The hours of business will be from 10 A. to 3 P. M. In this time much may be accomplished by a regular and systematic course of proceeding. I now dismiss you to your chamber to enter upon the discharge of the responsible duties to which you have been called, hoping that no other matters or things will be allowed to interfere with your deliberations, and that by attention, diligence and system you may bring your labors to an early close and have the pleasure of returning to your homes, your business and your families where duties of a more engaging and pleasant character await you.

The Attorney will attend you whenever you may require his presence. In case of any difficulty or doubt in the performance of your duties, you can call upon him or on this Court who will with pleasure render you any assistance in their power. You will please retire ns soon as the bailiff shall have been sworn. The dockets were then called, and a few cases set for trial, and the Court adjourned. Tuesday, August 28.

Sir, circular for the call of the Wilkes Booth Convention to meet in Philadelphia on the 14th inst. has been duly received under the frank of the eminent Pennsylvania senator. I suppose I am indebted to the honorable Connecticut renegade for this early smoking out attention For this mark of extreme kindness he and j'ou have my thanks. Most of the apparent purposes of the call meet my entire approval, but chaff is at a discount just now. No man unwilling to be deceived can mistake the latent object of the intended gathering, rising as it does from the ashes of the assassin.

Had Wilkes Booth never lived, the convention would never have been called. Now every sympathizing friend of his foul deed, from Maine to California, indorses it! Every indulgent, ry advocate of the interesting ceremony of bullying, bludgeoning and murdering public men who advocate the rights of man )approve it Every patriotic resolver that the war for the Union is a failure is in ecstacies over it Every bitter secessionist, every fighting rebel in the terrible war that has cost this nation hundreds of thousands of lives and billions of money, every conniving traitor that has been struggling to tear down the government that Washington planted and Lincoln saved, is singing peans of glory to it. And every press in the entire United States now advocating it, is obliged to excuse, palliate, and defend the burning, murders, and massacres continually cropping out throughout volcanic rebeldom. From all such sympathies, tendencies, and operations, Mr. Randall, I would most respectfully respond, Good Lord, deliver My conscience, my manhood, is my own to me they are of more value than any office on earth.

You have my answer. Briefly yours, Noaii W.lloyt, P. M. P. S.

our noble, sober, patriotic, honorable, and trustworthy President would but pardon Jeff in time to make him President of the Convention, he would add another to the many grateful obligations he has already conferred upf on the millions of loyal hearts who took him out of the grasp of rebels and elevated him to the point where Booth and Atzerot swung him to powerand infamy. N. W.H. A Difference. Andrew Johnson receiv, ed the news of his nomination to the Vice Presidency he was in Memphis, at the St.

Cloud tel. He made a speech, accepting the nomina, tion, and in the course of his remarks thus alluded to the necessity of securing the control of the i Government to loyal men I say that the traitor has ceased to be a citizen and in joining the rebellion has become a public enemy. He forfeited his right to vote with loyal men when he renounced his citizenship and sought to destroy our Government. We say to the most honest ond industrious foreigner who comes from England and Germany to dwell among us, and to add to the wealth of the try: Before you can be a citizen you must stay here for five If we are so cautious about foreigners, who voluntarily renounce their homes to live with us, what should we say to the traitor who, although born and reared among us, has raised a parricidal hand agianst the Government which always protected him My judgment is, that he be subjected to severe ordeal before he is restored to citizenship. This is precisely the ground that the Union men take now.

They have not changed, but the President has. A Curious An old So-1 cial question is now under discussion amongst some of the Southern papers, viz Whether Southern communities should longer hesitate to extend social courtesies to the Federal officers I stationed in their The Richmond Times and Dispatch hold that such courtesies should be extended. A Norfolk paper, however, calls its Richmond contemporaries to task for obtruding officious advice upon a most delicate subject, hitherto denied any direct notice by the Southern and says, with solemn severity, a home is his temple, and as the chief high priest, he alone is to be the judge of the fitness or unfitness of any individual or class to enter its holy The Norfolk editor seems to have been badly reconstructed. A Political Montgomery Blair, in his speech at Portland, assured his hearers that every drop in my veins is sprungfrom the Southern Later in the evening he stated half better half of We cease to be surprised at the political course of the gentleman after this confession. If he be thus made up, is it to be wondered at that at times he is so erratic that even his own friends are uncertain what leap he will take next A man who is half Yankee and still a full-blooded Southerner places the Northern man with Southern feeling entirely in the Boston Journal.

The Southern Unionists under the lead of such men as Colonel Stokes, of Tennessee, and Governor Hamilton, of Texas, are preparing an address to the loyal and Unconditional Union men of the States lately in rebellion, calling a convention to assemble in Washington in September next. It will be extensively signed by the Union men of the South. This will be an offset to the Copper Johnson convention which meets in Philadelphia next month. Treason must be made odious traitors must be punished and impoverished, they must not only punished, but their social power must be destroyed and after making treason odious, every Union man and the Government should be remunerated out of the pockets of those who have inflicted this great suffering upon the Johnson April 21 st, 1865.
