The last interest in the success of the Confederacy is destroyed; the last tie of relationship with treason is broken, and now Maryland is . bound both by hoc inter est and her sympathy to , stand by the Gov ernment, While we rejoice to feel that the North will now have the benefit of her un divided assistance, we rejoice more to know that her own prosperity will be enhanced, and that the power and greatness which al ways follow in the train of free institutions, will certainly be the reward of her noble,act ofJustice. .:M;2lt; 00Li. alt jet' ,:e 7/T ip•;i - 1.:01:. , avor, j.,:0 EMI u )L f ISM :,1:1A CI"; IY7 :1;1 irds ..;1:1'y Obic,— r^ R UC":~I:--S;ltif~ , 'ua appointment of Professor W. 11.

His personal presence there, is initself, ,of but little moment. The Government which has for threeyears defend ed itself successfully against the attacks of its open and secret foeS can not now be de stroyed by the counsels or actions Of a single' additional enemy. We sincerely hope that he may be permitted the use his best in fluence rind mr,st strenuous 0:C01110119 to re vive the walling fortunes of his friends. There are some circumstances however connected with yallandigham's return which might bring the blush of shame'to the. face of every patriot, as they assuredly will cause a shout of joy in the Rebel Capital when they are narrated there. On the day of his re turn the Democratic Convention of his coun ty was in session and of course was honored by a visit. We are told that his appear ance was the signal for an outburst of the wildest enthusiasm. Immediately a despatch is sent to the Democratic State Convention of Illinois informing it of his arrival. Here the mere announcement of his return pvo duced an effect similar to that caused by his presenceat Dayton. The entire Convention greeted the announcement - with shouts and cheers and at once resolved to stand by Val landigham, in case his conduct should force the Govermnont again to lay hold of him. Almost the entire. press of it great political party in the Coonl7 speak with pleasure of his return and lavish kind words and com pliments on bin as though lie were a patriot chieftain whose valor had ov.Tcorne the Re publie',-, foes in4te:ei of a traitor who haul done his utmost to aid thf What causes thi, , recep(km of the returned exile. and why do I)emorrai.s vie with each other in their demonstration , iore,tion and resrp., , r:t for him 10- 11S11 they suppose his pre , ence here will add , -trongth to h party or inorett4e itschnc...; of succo , ,i?

Their p"rseverance however, has at length caused their efforts to be noticed and now a number of South ern journals acknowledge the value of their services and speak words of encouragement to them. This is right. A party that has sacrificed every possible chance of access in order that it might serve the interests of the Confederacy, an last tke poor return of the rebel thanks. We giye here an extract from n rebel newspaper which will show how well their 'designs are understood and how fully their kindness is appreciated. From the Atlanta (Georgia) lloglster Es-President Pierce, Sep - hour, of Con necticut, Vallandigham, Reed, Wood, Rich ardson, and hundreds of others, are as hos tile to the war as they are to black Repub licanism. These men are doing us an indi rect service, They aro not openly and avowedly our friends, nor could we reason ably ask this of them. Rut they are not our • .1490c1y 01;ipins,... _United against ilir: Liia rein and his wicked ,policy, breasting the pow er of an overwhelming majority, firm to the traditions and precedents of constitutional liberty, the noblp band of patriots is.,4trivin,g_ to erect a :breakwater that Shall arrest the surges. of the unloosed deluge. If they did no more than:resist the eentralixition of Mr. Lincoln, that far they are worthy of our re spedt and sympathy,. If they hold up the banner of Stop 'Rights, that far they are ad vocating as, sentinient entitled to our admire- Such is the course they aro pursuing, and such'a course ought to have our cordial .ap probation. Step by step the same convie, tions and the same temper that have braced them in compact - unity and fiery 'valor, to denounce ultra Federalism and Now En gland fanaticistn, will inevitably bring them upon the right ground as it respects our in dependence. We confess our taith in their political principles.

They understand each other' and their efforts and interests are mutual: But wein sist that it is about time for the Democracy to cease their professions of loyalty, when the open enemies of the Country acknowledge the value of their services, and. confess "faith -in their political principles." The Rebels never, pretend that they use their bullets fd the restoration of the Union or the preser vation of the Constitution, but the men whom they claim as their friends and-whose political course meets their cordial approba tion, declare that they alone, are the proper guardians and conservators of both.
