S;I»VI:SI>A v, \OV. 7, 1*«0. fli-" Liberty and Union, Now and Forever, On» and "neeparable."— D. Webster. "The Klglil lu Siisiruei.*' In our last issue we Iwid a short article on this subject; examining the question generally, and the extent of the people's ■rights in the premises. Our remarks in the i.rticle refcrcd to, were written, in j art at least, in response to an article in the Gazelle, the bearing of which as we conceived, \yas to induce our representa tives to disregard their instiuctions. In a subsequent article, howtSVer, that paper concedes the right of instructions, in fact, concedes almost everything we as sumed or even surmised. We are glad, therefore, that there is no controvery be wceu us. In our lost article we promised that we would in our next take a glance at the 1 history of a few Senatorial elections and caucuses, to tee whether they conformed so fully to republican ideas as to preclude any attempt at improvement in this be half, and in this we must be brief. There is none, we believe, who hold the representative so independent of h e constituents, cr so irresponsible to them as to beat liberty to vote, in the selec tion of a United States Senator, as to vi olate liis dim to his party. For exam ple, should Governor Curtin be the lto publican nominee, and James l>uchanan the Democratic, no Republican represen tative would be at liberty, in a moral sense, to vote for the "'old public funct ionary " And suppose they woull do so, disregarding the consequences, what would be the opinion of th< ir fellowmen in the premises. Ihcy could be nothing short of a conviction that influences which oufjht not to appear in such strug gles h;.d hnd their due weight in control in" their actions. Some simple hearted, p ;ople would at once say, that such re sults could never be witnessed in an cnligh tencd country like this where the well merited contempt of the whole commu nity would, at once, b? concentrated up on the author of such base treachery.— Yet, in examining the history of our own State for a few years, comparatively speaking, we find fwo instances of this sort. Yes, twice within our recollection has the party in the majority in the Leg islature, been defected in the sclectiou of a Senator, lint when influences can be brought to bear strong enough to induce representatives to break faith wilh their party and vote for an qpen opponent of that j arty, how much more potent will be these influences when the fie Id of op orations ia within the party ? For illus tration take a case which is still fresh in the recollection of most of us. l'uring the campaign of '54, (when Pollock and lliglcr Tan), General Cameron was an active member of the Democratic State Executive Committee. The canvass en ded in a great victory to the Whigs and as great a defeat to the Democracy. This victory like the present one, brought with it the electicn of a United States Senator. Many prominent names were uru'ed by the different sections of the State for th« position, liut how surpris ed were the people to find that wh»n the canvass for nomination opened Gen. Cam eron was an aspirant for the position, and Jikely to win And how did he procure that nomination. It is a well established rule of till bodies composed of represen tative men. that they vote viva voce. In £ .other words that they vote in such a way that those whom they represent can see and know how they vote. When they convened in caucus, however, to make a Sonatorial nomination, a motion was made that they vote by ballot; a mode unheard of before, and which coqld onty bo re sorted to for the purpose of preventing tho people from kuowing who had be trayed them ! Against this most iniqui tous proposition quite a number of carn .est men protested, in the name of the yeople; characterising it at the same time, as a scheme in the interest of'Siinou Cameron ! Ihe frieads of the proposi tion protested most stoutly that the offer ■was not made in the interest of Camer on, but still voted lorit, and it was adop ted ! The vote was then taken in cau cus and the result declared to ba that Cameron had a majority over all others! Against 'his result in the name of a be trayed people, a latge minority of the members present protested, and refused to become a party to its consumation Many of those who had voted for the secret 1:allot, aud who had availed them selves <jf its covering to vote agaiust the known wiali.es of their fonstitucnts, came forward aud with crocodile tears deplored the General's nomination but alleged; tl:a< now that he was nominated they could not resist his clcctiou (!) What a jrand fnrcc on republican government, and what a grand outrage upon the rights pf the people w such a transaction ! It I is only necessary to say in conclusion on this subject, that althomgh the majority of the dominent party at that time seem ed ready to be the willing tools of this political adventurer, the minority were incorruptible, and resisted his election to the lust. It is scarcely necessary to say that our, then, representative, Win. Stew art, Esq., was among the protestants. — The result was, that, althjugh we had a large majority in the Legislature that winter, no election was effected, and dis gusted with the state of things defeated the American party at the next election- And the Legislature then chosen elected Rigler to the Senate, thus still more em phatically , (if that were possible), deep ening our disgrace. Now all this morti fication could have been spared us by the people, eithor in State Convention, or otherwise, directly and emphatically de claring their own will. A nothcr interesting incidence is found in the election of a Senator in 'o3. We all recollect that Cowan and Wilinot wirj both ehcted in '6l the former for the long and the latter for the short term, which terminated in 63. The perfidy of Cowan is too well known to all. It is equally well known that W'ilniot fair ly represented the will of his party, vo ting steadily for all the measures of the Administration. As was natural, Wil- mot became a candidate for rc-nomina tien. In.he meantime General Camer on had bceii taken into Lincoln's Cabinet but under a vote of censure had in the lower House of Congress, being almost a two third vote of that body—not of his political opponents but by his party friends. Mr. Lincoln found it incumb ent upon him to remove hiui. Who would have .-uj pofed that under these eireum sta nees the Legislature would have found any difficulty in pronouncing the popu. bir-will by re-nominating Hon. David Wilinot. liut no such thing is dqne.but Gen. Cameron is again the choice of'he Legislative caucus, and the people's faith ful representative discarded It is but just, ncrc, to say that we nev er went to any trouble to inquire into this matter, nor to learn who were the principle actors. We have no doubt that as be fore, so now, there were a decent minor ity opprsed to this arrangement, but of course they were powerless. We have heard it said, however, that the Legisla ture were desirious of going for whoever was able to get at least one Democratic vote—that being necessary for the pur pose of making the manoeuvre a success. Hut this in itself, implied a corrupt ar rangenient, in violation alike of good morals and the law -of the State. The scheme failed, however, and the only practical result was that Cameron was made to appear as the representative man of the—Legislature—while Wilmot for his fidelity to his party and country, was thus consigned to oblivion. Did space permit, we would like to spend a few mo ments in reviewing the manner of Mr Cowan's nomination, but must pass it for the picsent. Our only purpose in refer ing to these matters at all is to iilustrate the fact that our present system, or the one wo havo been practicing upon for some time is succeptable of improvement A\ ho that reflects a moment upon these things but must admit that such is the » The next question is, how shall we ef fect an improvement'! This season the people have been instructing their Rep resentatives. This is evidently an im provement on the old system. Hot we arc told it is subject to cxcept : ons. It is alleged that some two or three of our candidates for Assemhlyjn Philadelphia, have been defeated by the friends of Gen. Cameron, simply because they were in structed for Curtin. Even if this were so It would by no means establish the fact that it was ivrong to instruct, but only that there arc some persons in the party who prefer men to principles. We know j of an old Jackson Democrat, who, with j in a short time was heard to say that, had we elected Breckinridge President in 'CO, wo would have had no war. To our mind this was a poor arrangement against the election of Lincoln. But it would seem to be of kin to the other. But while we believe the practice of instructing vastly preferable to the past custom of leaving evcrj thing to chance, we still believe that the only true method of dis posing of the whole trouble would he to declare the choice of the people in State Conventionjnst &s we do for Governor, Auditor General, or any other State of. fice. This would dispose of and dispcnca with a Legislative caucus altogether.— And would thus remove the inclination on the part of any selfiish aspirant to de feat any candidate for Legislative hon ors, —for all efforts to defeat candidites are made in view of the beariog it may have on tlie action of the legislative caucus. Thus we have summarily disposed of this subject. In calling attention to it now we have been actuated only from a sincere desire to see a reform .'effected in this department of our political machin ery. We are not without hope that be fore 'O9, we will have determined to try the experiment of a change in this be half. Be that as it may we will have the satisfaction to know that, in our hum ble sphere, we mads jui effort in the light d re-iioa. * *' ■ The Maryland Tronblcs. From our rending of the grand fciret —the mock trial of the Baltimore Com missioners, we believe the following from the New York Tribune is a fair conelu sion of the whole matter. It is but an other step ia the grand conspiracy against Popular government, eutered into at Washington city, and now being carried out where ever he can find a willing tool I like Gov. Swann to carry out his behests The following is the article referred to : 'J he trouble in Baltimore is not of re cent origin. It began with the Rebel [ lion, and dates at far buck as the Spring of 1861, when the Rebels of Baltimore I lired upon a Massachusetts regiment i luarebiug to the defense of Washington. A large number of the people of Mary land were Rebols, aud Maryland regi ments fought in the ranks of Lee and Johnston. Fortunately the geographical position of the State placed it, from the first, under the protection of the govern ment, and the courage of its loyal peo ple prevented it from being dragged into secession. After the war, in self protec tion and simple justice, the loyal men of Mar) land ameuded the State Constitution to prevent returned ltebcls from voting, and by a strict registry law they have thus far succeeded in saving the State frona the rule of its worst enemies.— Since Andrew Johnson adopted the pol icy of placing the whole South under the lule of the liebel leaders, the men who sympathized aud aided the Rebellion in Maryland have made a bold effort tore ! gain the power they had forfeited by 1 treason, and Governor Swaun, elected as a Union man in 1804, has dune his best to sustain it. Baltimore, the headquar ters of all the Rebels north of Richmond, was the point of attack - The laws of the State, strictly enforced by the Police Commissioners, enabled only Union men to vote, and at ail the recent elections, including that of Gov. Swauu, thousands ' ef known Rebels were disfranchised. So long as the l'olice Commissioners remain ed in office it was certain that the laws | would be honestly administered, and that | the battlers erected by the loyal commu i nity for its protection would not be bro ken down or evaded by the men who sought to join Maryland to the Confed | eraey. 'This did not suit Gov. fc\fann, whose change of politics compelled him to depend on Rebel votes for political advancement, lie determined to remove the Commissioners and replace them with men less devotod in their Unionism; for this purpose the charges were preferred which have been investigated before the Governor at Annapolis, and upon which he .has removed the Commissioners. Wo have carefully examined the evi dence on the side of the Governor, and compared it with that for the defense, and caunot see how any respectable lawyer could conscientiously say that the char ges had been proved. The witnesses for the prosecution. of whom 6(3 were sum moned, testified that only Radical Jadges of elections were appointed in certain wards ; that in some cases there were no boxes used to deposit rejected votes to preserve them for fjiturc adjudication ; that legal votes wore refused; that the police force was used to "ntimidate voters by violence ; that Commissioner Wood had been seen drunk in the streets—in short, that thp recent election was ille gally and unjustly conducted. Every particle of this testimony—so far as the charges against the Commissioners are sustained by it— has been rebutted by the evidence for the defense. It is true, no doubt, that there were abuses and irreg ularities at the polls, for these are inevit able in all large cities, but it has not been shown that in a single instance the Commissioners were responsible. Tliey, on the contrary, appear to have done all in their power to secure a full and fair and legal vote, without respect to party interests ; the good character of the Judgeg of Flections w.as fully proved, and their "Radicalism" seems to mean that they were Untou men and not Rebel sym pathizers ; the ballot boxes were proven t> be those air-ays in use, and used in the election of Governor Swanu in 1864. in several cases the use of rejected boxes was proved when witnesses for the pros ecution bad swoi;n they saw none ; the respectability of the special police was established ; the (harge of drunkenness against Commissioner Wood fill to the px >und, and is not even cited in the Gov ernor's decision ; while in many cases the witnesses for the prosccut'on wore proven to be men of immcral character, gradu ates of the prison, or candidates for its honors. The credibility of the main points of the testimony in support of the charges is destroyed by the overwhelming evidence in behalf ot the accused. As an instance of the manner in which the Commissioners conducted the election, we quote the instructions of Marshal Cur michacl to the police force The evi dence shows that they were faithfully ob served : POLICE DEPAHTWEXT, OFFICE or TTI* MABSIUL, ) lIALTLMORE OCt If, / CAPTAIN LYNCH :— You will instruct your whole force, and impress the en forcement rigidly, of the rules and regu lations in relation to the uon interference with politics at the pqlls in the approach ing ele.tion, which will take place to morrow, the lUth inst.

Give utjtice to all bar-rooms, saloon? and grog-shops to close their places of busine-<s at G o'clock this evening, aud keep them clos'd until 6 o'clock on Tbunsi' >v morning. Have th s order s.riclly arried out. By order of the uouia >'i Police, Tnos. H. CAEMICIIAIL, Marshal. But all this eviden9e had no effect upon the Governor. His manneT of conduct ing the -trial was extraordinary. Alter laying great stress upon the f'tet that the Commissioners refused to acknowledge his jurisdiction and appear before him, when Commissioner Hindus did apnear, he declined to examine or hear Irs state ment ! At the outset of the trial he made the astonishing announcement that he intended to finish it by Wednesday, and thit the moment he was satisfied he should make his decision, even without waiting to hear the whole of the evi dence. . This was a drum head court martial, and not a trial. Mr. Latrobe, couusel for the prosecution, insisted that the ease should be closed without'delay, as "Time pressed, and if the Commis sioners were removed, as they hoped and believed they would be, there teas much to be dune. Unny changes were to be made be/art next Tuesday—the day of elec tion." He had the audacity to urge this indecent haste in behalf of ''14,0110 dis enfranchised people of Baltimore," tho' they were disenfranchised by the Legis lature of Maryland for disloyalty. Hut Gov. Swann needed no urging. From the first, it is apparent, ho had made up his mind that the Commissioners should be removed, and no evidence in their fa vor cou'd have changed him. His own words fiave made it plain that the trial ovey which he presided was a fa ce and a mockery—that these men were not sum moned to Annapolis to be tried,but to be condemned. The changes had to be made before next Tuesday, and they have been made The new Commissioners may bo trusted to take care of the interests of the -T4- o'*o disenfranchised people of Baltimore," next Tuesday, and the 11,000 friends of the Rebellion tiny be trus'ed to take care of the Governor. New Commissioners, new Judge* of. Elections, a new police, will have control of the polls, and Haiti more under their rule will seud 21 mem bers to tho Legislature pledged to vo'ie for Thomas Hwann as Uuited States Sen ator from Maryland. This is the mean ing of the removal of the Commissioners —to wrest the State from the Union men who saved it from rebellion, and make the Legislature the too-1 of one mrn's po/ litical ambition. Tlic National I'nioii Parfy. Tho following which we find in the Philadelphia News , is an illustration of how harmoniously the different elements of the great (!)

'fell us some thing about that party, Air. Editor. —[Pa triot and Union. We presume our respected cotempora ry is sincere in its inquiry, and we shall endeavor to answer it frankly. We at tended a national convention of the sup porters of President Johnson in Phila delphia last August. It was called for the purpose of organizing anew p rty in opposition to the Radicals. In that con vention we saw such old Republicans as Johnson, Flanigen, Lowrie, Cornman, MilSvard, Cowan, Tracy, Zinn, McKel vey, and others, and such old Dein>eiais as Porter, Packer, Bigler, Woodward, White, Perishing Doty, and others. A declaration of principles was adopted which met the hearty concurrence of ev ery member present! „The following was the language employed : <4 Tho NATIONAE UNION contention now assembled, Ac' This ought to be sufficient to satisfy our cotemporary, aud we suppose it is.— But we desire to say to it, as the central organ of the Democratic party in Penn sylvania, that we believe tbat.it was thair subsequent conduct in ignoring the ex istence of that convention which caused their defeat in this State. You and the whole Democratic party there agreed to sacrifice all past party organ zatious and imugurate a great National Union party, with which all who supported tho Pres ident could connect themselves. You didn't do it. You had scarcely left tho convention ere you commenced making your nominations for the fall campaign without any reference to tha existence jf the National Union party. In short, to be plain, we think" you have acted in very bad faith. As evidence cf ycur intention to con tinue in this course, we observed a few days since that you declared the Demo crats had gained eight on a joint ballot in the LegisTature, when it is pa-tent to every intelligent mind that the National Union element elected all four of the gentlemen, whilst at least two of them never even acted with the Democratic party.
