AN 'itf.FAMOUS FORGERY,
A few‘days ago our faithfhband'cnirt;-*!-
°Statc Senator, Mr. fti?oiiKß, received a letter
(through mail,) dated at Xewville, January
11, and signed by ten of the prominent Lem
octnts of that place. 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. Vfrsy
‘may yet'find dufc the Hvho nhred to
'Use their'names, and-iif they tlo, God help
’him, for our Court will not. AVo suppose i
this petty Abolition sneak thought that, as a
largo portion of his party friends were en
gaged in stealing, ho would try his hand at
forgery, and all on account of “ Iny ally to the
govdfrilii’tf'it.” lie ahcfU.klbavo remembered,
however,-’that now-a-days ’tlricVos—“
government "'thieves, wc mean—are not pun
ished, bht'forgers sometimes arc, particular
ly df’they come hefore our court.
elii's connection we may mention that
Mr. s course in Dr? "Senate frfi the
- subject of Speaker, is endorsed by every
ocrat in this county 7 , and also by many 7 Re
publicans. No honest man can disapprove
of his course.. The Senate being a tic—ld
Abolitionists (several of them traitors,) (iml
16 Democrats—the Democrats offeredto per-*,
mit tho Abolitionists to elect their Speaker,
and then divide the balance of the offices of
tho Senate equally between’ the two parties.
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. Lot them remain stead
fast to the bitter end, and thus rebuke an ar
rogant. ignorant faction, who would “ rath
er rule in hell than serve in heaven,” In
the ri’ame of the Democracy of Cumberland,
wb fhank Mr. Buclieu for the manly sthnd
he has token.

those whom we have elected as our official
agents to conduct the affairs of our govern

•pjercy of d.cspots and fanatics, who thirst for
blobd, and. c crave wealth and power? Are"
Ortr rights 'tnd 1- 'liberties set aside to build up
■an inferior race of beings? Tt’hen, indeed is
'revolution-justifiable,—a revolution to .estab

A DISGRACEFUL SPECTACLE.
A correspondent of ...the Philadelphia In
'qiurer t writing from %caufort, S. C., gives a
lengthy account df’fc. celebration and jolliil
‘cation by the cUiftralb.UuTs (some 15,000 in
number,) collected in V.nd about that place of
“ fine mansions tend' beautiful orange groves.” 1
It was the “ first-ahn'ivcrsnry’ of the ficcdmcn
in South 'CaroUV.a. 0 The celebration con
sisted of a military and civic procession. A
large staging was erected, which was occu
pied by bliUdca and whites ; a “ great num
ber ot IrdSy from the North” (paid
by UTc-governtoonJU) Were present ; speeches
wore made by Abolition officers and “ intel
ligent contrabands.’' Thirteen g" s, c'rnf7 l ent
’oxen were roasted for this negro f?ast, and
five thousand loaves of bread were distribu
ted- The staging, the letter writer ‘cays, pre
sented a magnificent appearance; “it Was
surmounted willi urclies, festooned with ev
ergreens and flowers, J&t?" anil on each arch
were the names of Lincoln, Washington,
.John Brown !” Was ever a more bru

but to e.ssocilf'b the name of WasH

was an insult to the American people, that
makes the hot blood start to the temple,s of
the patriot and honest man as he roads this
impudent Abolition spectacle. Lincoln,
"Washington, and John Brown I We would
like to ,look upon the monster who could find
it in his wicked heart to associate these names
together. Our Saviour was crucified between

death, and 's!Cvefe. &dhs ftkow\,

the suggestion' of "a shoddy contractor'dr of

of Washington.
Ate We to IlaVt AnoHter P resilient?
V/e know tliat many hhft people

of this administration, since their attention

there will not be another elec

that they amount almost to conviction, fcut
we were not aware until recency that Mr.
Horace Greeley was one of the fitmbcr ; anfl
we confess that we wei'e '’;ovn'e\N Ivat startled
when, in reading ho brfcf remarks, felhnV
ing Wendell Phillips’!] speech at the'Choper
Institute, wc made ihcdiscuvcry tbAt he whs.
In these remarks lie made the as twin ling
declaration-, in. tmhstance, that it won Id be

er wc should ‘ever haVo another President,
hot he hoped we would. Jf7 ten that tjue.dion
was 'decided, if-would be lime” &c. Really,
whon '£lr.‘Greely expresses a doubt on the
subject, there is ground for apprehension,
and we cannot blame those who, with far
less information as to the designs of those m
power than lie possesses, have come tc lh ii
same conclusion, and begin to of
the Republic.”
’Tiro' .VVoWf/-, in referenda' t 6 ‘the speech of
fho philosopher ot the Tribune, says :
] There is one' point in that VUtIU ftpe'cch of
Mr. Greeley's which wo cannot apprbucli
without pain. We refer to the misgivings
he expressed as to whether wo arc to have
another presidential election. This may
have been the crude suggestion of the moment,
it may have been cant; but even if it is the
mature fruit of Mr. Greeley’s reflections. it
does no discredit to his understanding. The
./orvfi of a pi J £sidchtJrd election, of some sort,
we shftlll no doubt hftVO sft the coining year;

The subject is so grave time we will ,en
deavor to speak upon it Without partisan

to be. no-especial reason for putting them on

rfirTThcssago to which, wo wish'to direct 1
the pnrfidfilSr ‘attention of our readers, and
the reflecting public generally, we desire to
state, for the purpose of warding off any
thrusts which the Abolition press may make,
at the “-loyalty” of Governor Bradford, that
he is h consistent Opponent of the doctrine of
secession, and an advocate of emancipation.
He was elected Governor by ; the so called
"Union” men of Maryland, and,.therefore,
what die says is entitled to the respectful con-
Buleration, ‘if noVfli’o unqualified approbation
of the intensely loyal'mim of this Uad 'every
other free dStatc.
With this fact, then, distinctly before our
readers, that Gov. Bradford S an emancipa
tionist, and on that question at Idifdt in per
fcctaccbnl w’ith ’Bib adrni'nis'tration, we sub
join his remarks on the subject of
MILITARY INTERFERENCE WITH TIIE MARYLAND
STATE ELECTIONS,
Extract from Governor Bradford’s Message.]
I avail myself of this occasion to advert to
certain events connected with our recent el
ection which deserve your most serious con
sideration.
It would bo much more agreeable to mo to <
avoid all’hllhflion-*to th'bni ; I cannot, howev
er,'‘do-eo ‘consistently jvith my sense of what
’is chip to the rights and honor of the State, to
the office which by the favor of its citi/.ens 1
occupy, or—l may, with sincerity add—to
the cause of the Union itself, in my opinion,
so intimately blended with the’Cause of the
law and Constitution, that any outrage -in
flicted, and especially In its name, upon them,
necessarily to some extent recoils upon it. .
A tlftvt'elcclion a military
order was issued froth the ‘Krtny headquar
ters at Baltimore which in effect ’plhdted'tho
polls under the surveillance and at the com
mand of the military authority.
"I was for any such order
froth the fact that, though in frequent pwr
sbnal communication with the military au
thorities of the department, I had received
no intimation whatever of such a proceeding
or ot any supposed necessity for it. In that
part of the State against which the movement
seemed to bo more particularly directed,
(the Eastern Shore,) there would seem To
Imre been loss necessity, as there certainly
was less semblance of authority than else
where ; for whilst martial law had been.pro
claimed upon the Western *6hore-tff the'Sfiltc
in June 'hid not bech repftllcd'hp
tothe'dhV o*f'election, upon the Eastern Shore
it had never been proclaimed at all.
You will be furnished with a copy of this
ordeh and it is not necessary further to re
cite it than to state in general terms that it
was to'be ereccted "by the military, elded by
the -provofet •'ftmrslmls. They w'ere ,, toiftrrost
voters •whom .they might consider disloyal
'Approaching or'nanging about the polls; a'
prescribed form of onth was furnished, with
out taking which no one, if challenged,'coluld
vote-, and -the -Bovcrral commanding otFccrs
were chargcd*tf) report to head quarters any
judge of election who should refuse to admin
ister that oath or to aid in carrying out that
order. The President modified the first part
of tho order on ,tho Monday proceeding, the
election, but even' that modification seemed
to receive no attention from those entrusted
with its oxecutiitfi, *At\d «was in some iastan'-,
cos openly d is regarded.
Prominent among the provost marshals to
whom the execution of this order was in part
committed were several who were themselves
candidates for important offices.
Those marshals, appointed for the purpose
of tho militia enrollment and draft, were
placodfcy the law creating them under the con
trol ofl'hc Prpvost Marshal General, but to en
sure th'e “right to deploy them abo'fct'tfcis cl-;
ection, spOcrfil authority was obtained from
Washington 'fo-p!ace them l for the time being
under the orders of the? mllltaty iist^jo'fitics.
. If, with tb'esso facke before me, .‘ana seeing
the judges of election, sworn to conduct it
according to the laws- of, the State, openly
menaced with arrest unless they recognized
the military authority proscribed, had 1 stood
silently by and failed to assure them of the
protection of the State to the.-extent of its!
ability,*! ehoiild*have >felt myself utterly im-j
worthy-4>f the place 6f its* Chief'-Magistrate. 1
1 1, therefore, on Monday-evening preceding
the ‘election,isstaod a. proclamation giving
them thiyassurancov a copy of which inhere-*
{with submitted. t .
‘Before the following morning The rhilitary :
-‘ord'ort’Wcbe' sent .to the Eastern Shore, di
recting its circulation to lie suppressed.—
The papers were forbidden to publish it, and
an embargo laid on all the steamers in.port
trading with that part of the Stivjo, lest they
might carry It.
* * *• -* * * * *
*These abuses covnTncnc-cd ! cVon ‘before the
op 4 3niȣ; of the polia. f On thS day preceding,
the election, the. Officer iii-commVujd of the
regiment which had been distributed among
thq counties on the Eastern Shore, and who
had hirosfelf landed in.lCcnCcdunty, commen
ced his 'Operations'by arresting and'sending
acrossHihe l/Ay, softie fen-or-fhore df the-most
distinguished of its citizens, including sever
al of the most steadfast and uncompromising
loyalists of the Shore. The jail of the coun
ty was entered, the jailor seized, imprisoned, •
•iiltd 'afterwards sent to Baltimore, and priff
orfer&'ctotffined therein-tonder indictmenb'W'ere ,
set at liberty-, The commanding officer re
ferred to ‘gave the first clue to the character
of disloyalty against which ho*considered
himself as "particularly commissioned, by
printing and publishing a proclamation in
which, referring to the election to take place
next day, ho invited all the truly , loyal to
avail of,. t l i.at opportunity and es
tablish their loyalty “ a full and
ardent support to tbe whole Government tick
et Upon,the pldtform-adopted'by the Uftion
tcagU'o \ Convention-,” decraiurig. th.at ,‘Vnone
other is recognised by the-Eeaeral authori
ties as loyal or worthy of support of any onO
who desires the peace and restoration of thb
Union.”
To secure tbe election of that ticket, seemed
to be the business to which he and his offi
cers especially devoted themselves through
out the day of election. In the statements
ana certifecdfes which have been forwarded
to mo frohi different coilnties in that Congres
sional district, I havo boeri furnished, I pre
sume, with Ah ilccoiint of part only of. tho
outrages fo W,bich w-erb subjec
ted. I'Tlfo 1 ‘‘ Cov’erDm'pnt ticket,” yalKive.re
ferred to, was in several, if not. all of those
counties, designated by its/ color it was a
yellow ticket, Uh'd armed’-with tlidl/a Voter
conld-sttfedy-rUn ihe gauntlet of tho sabres
and carbines-thatiguarded- itho entrance to
tho polls, ;aiid -known-aympathizero?with 4 the
rebellion were, as certified to n?e,-allowed .to
■ vote unquestioned if they wpukj vote ’that
ticket; whilst loyal and respected citizens,
rfcady to-take-the oath, were turned back by
the officers in charge without oven .allowing
them to approach tbo-polls.
■ In oiio di§trict, as appears by certificate
from,tho jlidgo,.'tbo military officer took his
stand at the polls before thoy wore opened,
declaring that none buttho yellow ticket”
should, be voted; and*, excluded, nil* other
throughout tho day; In .another district a
similar officer caused every ballot offered to
be examined, and unless it was the favored
one, tho voter was required to tako the oath
and not otherwiseand in another again, af
ter one vote only had been given, the polls
were closed, the judges all arrested and sent
oiit of the county, and military occupation
taken of, tho town.
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. We must hold onrsclvofc in Tendinous
to act promptly and efficiently against the
first bold attempt to enslave us. \Ve 'must
save tbe fepnblicand otirsolvosfrom the doom
which the enenries of J n)‘o Cimatifution and
the country, now in power;-are preparing for
us. Wo mustdo : ifby any means and at any
sacrifice.
