The letter is quite lengthy. 'and reprimands’ Mr. lli'ciirr sovcrc •ly'becansc of In's votes in the Senate on the. subject of Speaker! It pnrpnr.s to bo the •]tfo’dhct l lon , of l hts' " , polhieal fi-tenda,” and af fects to deplore Mr. TVs course because“it is verging On'treason/' and will “ injure our party,” &c The letter (now ! in ntir pnsespion.) is a for mer)/ —’the production dfa ■i’lic gentlemen whose names arc sigtvfca tt it have written to Mr. UnhiF.n, pronouncing ’the deleotshVc epistle a'hase forgery, and its writer a scoundrel, who, if discovered, will 'k&Cmtfruf: tlfij kinti of faro that is served ov. t to criminals fa'thc KustcrnTcnitentih'ry.

This fair and huf‘Wilde offer was declined by the di’scnplos of John Biiown, and tho Senate Verbfcirns at a dead lock. The entire 'VOPpontn'bViity of this state of affairs in the Brnafo rests on the shoulders of the Aboli tion Senators, anil their constituents will hold them to a fearful account for their ob stinate and revolutionary course. The hon est portion of their own party condemn them wfMras much vehemence as Democrats do. The -Serrr.tors deserve : t*h‘e fast ing gratitude of tlieir friends -Tor ihc-ir integ rity and firmness.

But I will not detain you with a recapitu lation of all the abuses that those statements disclose. I have caused copies of them to bo transmitted to you, and they can not, fail to arrestyour attention.' They present a hu miliating record, such as I had never sup posed we should bo called upon.to road in any State, still leas in a loyal one*like this. 'Unless it bo indeed a fallacy to suppose that any rights whatever romaindo such itf State, or that any lino whatever marks the limit of Federal power, a bolder stride across that lino that power never made oven in a rebel •State than it did hero onlhc 4th of last -Wo vombor. , . A part of the army which a generous peo ple had supplied.for a very different purpose, was on that day engaged in stilling the free dom of election in a faithful State, intimida ting its sworn officers, violating'the consti tutional rights of dts-h.ykl citmend,'Knd ob struetingtho'Ustirtl ‘ohKnnels of communica tion between them and their executive. If I have depreciated such proceedings, I have'bc’eh'actuated *in s Eb doing scarcely more by the sense of what wiis due to the laws and' Constitution of the State, than by a regard for the safety and success of the Union and the maintenance of that popular respect for and confidence in the constituted authorities so important to the triumph of the great cause they have in charge. The moral such sentiments is worth to those adminis- tering the government far more than anv re sults of an election where such proceedings are tolerated, What occurred in Maryland we may Hex pect to talio-pliiee in' Pennsyluania and every doubtful 'Northern and'border State at the Presidential election, unless wo prepare our selves, in time, for both moral and physical resistance. Now, more than over, with sucb facts before them, communicated officially by tliO'Coyfcrnor of'lPlirylrtfifl, should our Sena tors unflinchingly maintain the position they have taken, and our Democratic and all oth er conservative people hold themselves in readiness to sustain them. At every hazard wc must prevent such infringement of our rights, State and personal, as the adminis tration, through the instrumentality of armed soldiery, practiced hi Maryland. Every mor al force which wc can command must ho*em ployed to ■ shield ua from such oppression'; and if moral force will not do, some power, more potent, must be employed. Better any fate than subjection to the injustice, tyranny and degradation of uncontrolled military rule.
