WAEYLAND NATTERS.
The new:Constitution agreed *on by
the late Convention,. is to be submitted
to popular vote on the 18th of Septem
ber. If ratified, it will go into effect Oc
tober 3d. We observe that its opponents
are preparing to make a canvass against
it in Frederick and other counties. It is
framed in the interest of the rebellio
and sweeps out every vestige of loyal
in the present Constitution.
It abolishes the present school syster
turns out all the judges and county of
c'eri, establishes the old judicial systi
of the State, gives the old slaveholdi
counties an inequitably large represet
ation in the Legislature, and gives t
Governor the Veto Power to prevent t
possibility of 'any hostile legislation
case of popular re-action. Carrelloom
is to lose one of its members, while - Anne
Arundel, Calvert, Charles, Dorchester,
Montgomery, Prince Georges, and St.
Marys each gain one over the present
representation. The'test ofiloy.alty is no
longer to be applied to voters. Colort&
persons are allowed to be 'witnesses in
Courts, subject to the right of the Legis
lature to deny the privilege at any time !
All the State officers, except Governor
SWANN, and the officers
,of the City of
Baltimore, are to be turned out, and a
general revolution effected.
The Convention, 'to show how truly
Denirratic it was. struck out of the ex
isting Declaratbn of Rights Its first arti
cle, which was substantially re-produced
from the Declaration of Independence :
"That we liold it to be self-evident that all
men are created equally tree ; that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain inalien
able rights, among which are life, liberty, the
enjoyment of the proceeds of their own labor,
and the pursuit of happiness."
The third article they have changed so
as to read as follows :
"That the people of this State have the sole
and exclusive right of regulating the internal
government and police thereof, as a fret,
sovereign, and independent State."
The insertion of the words in italics,
shows a purposeto be ready fox: another
revolution when the time may come.
The fifth article of; tlpresent declara
tion of Rights asserts thdt,"every citi
zen of this State owes paranuAcnt allegi
ance to Constitution and Clove meet
of the Unite :tales, and is not bcind
by any law or or 7.• nce of this State 17
contravention or subver• 7.n thereof.”
This was inserted in 186-, •. meet and
destroy the plea of the Secession early
in the War, 'that citizens owed their .
mary allegiance to their State. The late"
Convention, of course, exptinged those
words, as they are .nearly all Secession
ists.
Thera's° put into their Constitution
this declarations •
"Slavery shall not be re: established in this
Stale, but, 'having been abolished under the
:policy and authOrity of the United States,
compensation, in consideration thereof, is
due from the United States."
This article is worthy of remark for its
falsehood and impudence.
Slavery in Maryland was abolished by
the adoption of the Constitution of 1801,,
and was the act of the majority of the
qualified voters of that State. It was
aamplished more than it year before the
final adoption of the anti-slavery Amend
ment tothe Constitution of the United
States, Which was declared ratified De
cember 1.3, 1805. Where then is the ha
- sis for a claim upon the United States ?
But if it were otherwise, and if Mary
land slaveholders stood, in this respect,
as the late slaveholders of lientucky and
pelaware, they would have no claim for
Compensation, as the Sovereignty of the
people had the unquestioned legal and
moral r ight to destroy a claim of servide
which had no basis in natural equity, no
sauction.in United States law, and was
necessarily held in subordination to the
general will of the people of the United
States.
There are many persons who take the
other view. And this Convention has
provided that "the Legislature shall pass
such laws as may be necessary for the dis
tributtau of such aid as may be received
from the United States for that purpose."`
We have no doubt that were the slave
holding class in the Southern States to
beeotne the governing power there and
in Congress, se they were before.the war,
pintas the Democratic policy ountem
plates they shall be after the war, this
claim would not only be made, but would
be made successfully ;on d that hundreds
of millions of public money - would be
transferred_ to the pockets of the Rebels
who made the war and those who sym
pathized with them And we are waft-,

or embilethe people from this danger, but

port of the procetitlints of thlflxxly4tlat
our readers May see who composed the
Cimvention, and what its action.
We can speak but briefly of it to-day.
The defeat of Jamis H. amtskr e t'LL,
tsq.; for Jury einutaissicuter, must cause
regret to falc , auen everywhere; yet it
was evident, from the moment his name
was mentioried, that he would meet 'a
prouißt reslitiartee. Ktrint, being a
delegate, hack an adVantage, which he ft
nally used with effect.
The intered centered in the Treasurer
ship ; and to',the general surprise Mr.
WATTLES oltained the nomination.—
He is decidetliST out of favor with the .
"borough ring,"-to whom his nomina
tion is most offensive; but he deserves
credit for the determined spirit with
which he met his eriemies. One of the
chargo against him was that two years
ago he bolted the nomination of the pres
ent Treasurer, Mr. SILEADS ; but the
Convention appeared to think• bolting a
very light thing. The talk of "bolting"
him is quite common, as might be sup
posed from the feeling shown against hitn.
JACOB Lorr's nomination as Commis
sioner was made in haste, and will be re
pented of at leisure.
On the whole, the Ticket is not a fortu
nate one. We call upon our friends to
take advantage of the -facts, nominate a
good ticket, for wklah all can heartily
work; and let us carry the county.
GENERAL GRANT, in complying with
the President's order to transfer General
SHERLDAN from New Orleans to St.
Louis, and put General T.noliAs at-New
Orleans, gave him this Order :
Fifth. Major General G. H. Tnomes
confirm to execute all orders he may find in
force in the Fifth Military District at the time
of his Assuming command of it, unless au
thorized by the General of the army to annul
or modify thent.
This Order effectually checks auy at

SHERIDAN, or revive the acts and judg

Lc many of the Southern States, the
rebel whites have refused to register, and
thereby have clisfranchiseil themselves,
as no one care vote who is not registered.
The result will be that in some States,
and in some parts of other States, the
colored voters will outnumber the white.
The number of persons excluded by
law from registration is very small, com
pared with the whole number. But a
rebellious spirit is disfranchising large
numbers. Upon themselves, , will rest
the responsibility of what may remit.'
One thing is pretty certain. The
Southern States, when restored, will be
restored upon a loyal basis, and the lead
ers of the rebellion will be in "back
seats."
GENERAL JOHN C. HAiIICHINRIDGE
has authorized the statement that he
agrees with PERRY and HILL of the
Southern States, and with all the North
ern Democracy in their estimate of the
legislation of Congress, and the general
situation of affairs.
TOOMBS, .BREORINBIDGE, and that
crowd, think the "lost cause" is worth
fighting for, to retrieve by legislation
what was surrendered in arms ; but there
is one lion in the path.. The people can't
be wheedled into complicity with any of
their projects of fraud. •
AT the recent election in the Territory
of Colorado, the Republicans have se
cured a majority in both branches of the

Philadelphia, Age of 23d of litbructry,
1864, where the opinion is published in full.
It may also be found in the'Legal Inlelligen
eer of March 18, 1864, page 92.
In Judge BilaitswoOD's dissenting

His language is :
"I am of opinion that Congress had no

much leas t, make them a iawfal tender."
The Philatlelphiti Age of 234 February,
1884, publishing the Opinion in BoBIE
ra. Tuortr, highly eulogizes the Judge,
saying :
"Judge SIIARSWOOD reasons upon and de
cides the ease as if he were some lofty spirit
sitting far above and out of the contentions
and strifeslof the world."
Will net the holders of a greenbacks and
Government bonds consider the Judge as
quite too elevated and ethereal for such
earthly honors as a seat on the Supreme
Bench ?
THE Betiford' Inquirer mikes this In
teresting stateipent:,
"Two years ago at the Bedford Springs,
Hon. Roaturr C. Gnora of the U. S. Supreme
Court, said of EDWIN M. STANTON that the
oountry owed him an immense debt of grati
tude ; that through him more than through
any one mEn the great rebellion met its doom ;
that Srthores self-poise, and self-reliance
were wonderful ; that in the fall of 1860 or
early in 1861 when Floyd and Cobb and
Thompson were In Buchanan's Cabinet, and,
traitors at heart, were controllingand shaping

lacked nerve to turn them out of office, and

went with the Cabinet for the purpose of

Buchanan, You must turn those men out of

THE nomination of Mr. WATTLES for
County Treasurer, by the Democratic
Convention, has excited not only sur
prise, but much.festiveness and dissatis
faction: The nomination was effected
despite the bitter protests of the delegated
from the Borough, and much curiosity II
evinced to find the motive which induced
the Coniention to make it. Some say
"clock oi no clock" did the business ;
others insist that the Convention was
af i rtdd of another "bolt" ; still others al
leging more weighty reasons—Mr. W.
being reputed to have at command a
larger Innount of spare funds than either
of :his rivals. We leave the Democracy
to settle the question for themselves.
THE Michigan Constitutional Conven
tion have struck out all provisions rela
ting to Indian Suffrage, and to Female
Suffrage, The adoption of these propo
sitions hi Committee of the Whole turns
out to have been a joke. In Kansas, a
proposition for Female Suffrage is pend
ing before the people, with a prospect of
adoption: The Michigan Convention
has absOlutely adopted universal male
suffrage, and his provided for submitting
to a separate vote of the people a clause
to prohibit the sale of liquor in the State.

week before last made this charitable and
generous allusion to the martyred President
LOICOLN :
"The contributors to the Lincoln monu
ment are demanding to know what has be

disgraceful purpose than building a mon

life was a withering curse to his country."
C. CnAscy BURR, a notorious rebel Demo
crat has been lecturing in New Jersey, before
Democratic associations and receiving their
countenance and approval for his political
sentiments. He edits a magazine called the
Old Guard, which is exclusively patronized
by the Democratic party. In a late number
of this vile publication, Burr says :
"We think we are safe in saying that there
are more intelligent white and black men and
women In this country to-day, who respect
the name of John Wilkes Booth, than theie,
are who respect the name of Abraham Lin

He also need the following I.Bnpuise in •tbl

"It is a year since Old Abe 14 taken sud

Good Friday night,with Booth on the brain'"
And henpens his editorial comment in his
last number with these Words—" Thank God

is the chosen spokesman of the Democratic
party and an acknowledged exponent of its
views. Whnt right has such a party to com

HOW TO MEND GREENBACKS.—An
exeiemgo says:"This is the way to mend
free-nbaeks and currency: Smooth out the
edges with the finger carefully, and moisten
the edges with the finger-tip, after witting
it on thet , nr.:tm. To m lay tit,: bill on a piece
of writing paper, carefully drawing the edges
together, and lay another piece of writing
paper Over it. A few seconds rubbing with
the finger over the seam'will make it adhere,
and a little adroitness, when it is dry, will
enable yon t o lift the bEI from the paper
without taring it. Tne scant will then be
invisible and the strongest part of the bill.

DELEtiITE ELECTIONS.—We hope our
Republican friends in the various townships
will not neglect the Delegate Elections on
Satunfay next. The Convention to asomble
on Monday next will have an important duty
to discharge. Now, more than ever, the coun
try requires the services of honest, capable,
and reliable men in all offices ofpublic trust.
Let the Republican County Convention avoid
the mistakes of the Democratic Convention
—give us a good and.unexceptionable ticket
—and then challenge a verdict from the peo
ple of the county. See call of the County
Oommittee in another column.
NEW COUNTERFEIT.—A new and dan
gerous counterfeit—National currency-s's
denomination—has recently been put in cir
culation, which will most likely mislead
careless handlers of &ley, and even the
careful without close observance. On the
kit end of thel note the wrist of the bait arm
of Columbus is scarcely visible, whereas in
the genuine it is distinct. At top read,
"This note is secured by bonds." The let
ten; "B" and "Y" are too far apart, and the
"0" in "Bonds" is under the "Y," whereas
the "B" in the same word is immediately
wider the "Y" in the genuine. The general
appearance of the bill is a close imitation of
the genuine.
A MANLY ACT.—In the severe storm of
last Thursday night, the abutments were
swept from one of the culverts on the Gettys
burg railroad nei►r Hanover, put without
carrying off the log on which the rail rested,
so that 'a person looking from above could
Lot observe that sm,ything was wrong, A
colored man who lived in the, neighborhood,
DAvin THOMPSON, ascertaining the facts,
walked on Friday morning more than a mile
and a half in the driving rain to give notice
of the accident to the approaching train. But
for this timely notice, the probabilities are an
accident would, have occurred, involving loss
of life and property. Some of the passengers
raised him a small purse ; and we understand
the Railroad Company have given him a free
ticket over their road.

to the next State Convention ; and Daniel
Geise!man, Esq., of Union, Representative
delegate.
ItEsoLuTioNs
Mr. McDivitt, from the Committee, re
ported the following resolutions which were
adopted :
Iles°lced, That we are opposed to the re
construction policy of the present Congrcas,
believing that it will result in a revolution
which will overturn the Constitution, and
establish a Despotism in the place of free
government, and that the reduction of the
Southern States to territories is opposed not
only to the plain provisions of the Constitu
tion, but to every sound idea of practical
statesmanship.
. Resolved, That we are opposed to Negro
Suffrage, Negro Equality, or Negro Supiem
aey in every way, shape, and manner, now
henceforth and forever, believing that this is
a White man's government, and that it most
and shall be governed by white men to the
end of time.
Resolved, That, the Legislature of Penn
sylvania, under a Republican Governor and
with a Republican majority in both branch
es, has by its outrageous extravagance, dis
regard of public interests and wholesale
bribery and corruption, been a reproach to
the State; and that a thorough and complete
reformation is demanded, which can only
be effected by the election of honest men,
who will not be controlled by iznpzoper in
fluences and who cannot be bought and sold.
Resolved, That tine failure of the Legisla
ture to afford relief to the border sufferers
for damages sustained during the war, is
justly chargeable to the Radicals who had
the power and refused to use it.
Resolved, That we approve of the honest
and patriotic course of our Representative,
Nicholas Henze'', Esq., generally, and espe
cially his indefatigable efforts on the relief
bill.
Resolved, That w•e cordially endorse the
nomination of Hon. George Sharswood, as
candidate for Judge of thi Supreme Court.
Resolved, That we plcdge our undivided
support to our State and County Ticket.
Adjogrsted.
