The Old Woman and the Bear.
On the borders of n vast forest which abound
ed iu all manner of wild beasts, there once lived
an old woman with her husband, John. Driven
by hunger, a hear one dsj made an attack on
the rude cabin that sheltered them. John
promptly retreated to a safe position in the loft,
and calmly surveyed the battle between his wife
and the bear, not caring much which side whip
ped. When at last the old lady proved victo
rious, be came down and hailed her with the
congratulation, ‘ ‘ Goodness alter. Peggy, ain't that
a biy bear what we killed !"
So, now that Uncle Sam lms killed his “hear,”
the Rebellion, the “Johnnies” are coming up
aud slapping him good-naturedly on the should
er, with “ Goodness alive ! ain't that a biy Rebel
lion what ice killed f” It was evident to every
intelligent mind williug to admit that ta.o were
greater than me, that the “bear” would be slain.
But the meu who adopted the declaration of the
Chicago platform that the war was a “failure
the men who “wanted the south 1o hive her
rights; who “didn’t believe in Abolition who
called slavery “a Divine institution, and the nor
mal condition of the black man who prated
about “the weakness and corruption of the Ad
ministration w ho declared that “the ohivalric
Southrons could never he conquered who
plied the public mind with wearisome disserta
tions on “the enormous dety,” “thebigh taxes,”
“the publie^xtravagancewho called Mr. Lin
coln a “buffoon” and a “tyrant;” who never
rejoiced at a Union victory becaii.se “it was only
prolonging the war;” who put on long faces
when they saw a wounded soldier, hut never put
their hands in their pockets to relieve his suffer
ing family ; all these men stood quietly' hv while
the fight was going on, without a word of com
mendation for those who were fighting the battle
for them, expecting anil many of them hoping
that the “bear” would whip. Then there were
others, such men asare well-known in our own
midst, who were even more decided iu their
“sympathies” for the “bear.” Men who kept
at a safe distance from the fight, hut were active
in their encouragement and secret aid ; who
winked at the “bear,” as much as to say, “Go
ahead Old Fellow, we’re with you heart and
80 ul;” who gave him all the support they could
in their cowardly, underhanded way ; who de
clared the government a “tyranny” aud the Re
bellion a “beaveu-boro cause;” who swore alle
giance to the government, enjoyed the mild pro
tection of its Laws, and yet heartily wished for
its overthrow. These men shut their eyes to the
glorious history of our past; they forgot that
there is a Power who rules the destiny of nations,
and is able to bring good out of evil; they for
got that there is such a thing as eternal Justice;
they forgot that our Government is founded on
the broadest and noblest principles of humanity ;
they gloried in the idea of an empire which rested
on the blood of human bondage, aud in their in
fatuation they verily believed that treason and
villainy would triumph, and that right and jus
tice would be overthrown. The hope was Father
to the belief. They CDuldn’t tell exactly how it was
- to happen, for might as well as right was against
them. But somehow they kept dreamiug of for
eign intervention ; they anxiously awaited an
, * uprising in the North against “the cruel war,”
and “the burdensome debt;” they believed in
the “lions” that were wailing to spring upon
Sherman ; they were hopeful of the “event”
which Lee was preparing to “astonish” the
world; in their folly aud prejudice they were
given over “ to make and believe a lie.” .
But the “bear” is dead. Their last, fond,
lingering hope died out with the fall of Rich
mond and the surrender of the Rebel armies.—
The big fight's over. And now these secret cow
ardly Traitors, are’coming down from the “loft,”
and with mock jubilant faces, chucking Uncle
Sxm familiarly nnder the chin, with “That was
a big job, but I always knew we’d whip !”
It was rather amusing to see bow fond of the
“Old Flag” these men suddenly became, when
the Rebel eapitol succumbed ; how they ran
about town buying, begging and borrowing ev
erything that bore a stripe or carried a star ; how
sociable they suddenly became with “contempti
ble Union men,” the “mudsills” of the commu
nity; how “glud” they were that the war was
over and the Government re-established ; how
well they “always knew it would end in this
way,” and how “ridiculous” it was for the
South ever to take np arms against such a great
and good government ns ours !
We have little faith in death-bed repentance.
With all bis well-known forbearance, we have
always doabted whether the Almighty would he
justified in listening to the dying prayer of a life
long villain. His repentance springs from fear
rather than lor . So with these eleventh hou.i
Union men. While the slave confederacy was
nourishing, they were buoyant and hopeful.—
“The South could never be conquered,” was the
burden of their daily speech. Now that it is
drawing its last gasp, these men, with the cool
- est impudence, gather within the sanctuary of
the Republic, claim place and protection nnder
it, and declare thut they “always were for the
Union 1” Before receiving them into fell con
nection with loyalty, let them “bring forth fruits
meet for repentance.” We are in favor of put
ting them on a probation like other foreigners
who happen to be in our midst. To the Union
men belongs the honor of killing the “bear.”
To them belongs the privilege of disposing of the
carcass. They don’t intend to he interfered with
in the enjoyment of that privilege. They have
fairly slaughtered the “bear,” and they mean to
( do with his body just what seems best to them.
Rest assured they will bury him safe and deep.
Important Order.
Reduction of Expenses.
The War Department, in view of the termina
t\pn of hostilities, has already begun the work of
economy in preparing to discharge portions of
the army and stop the purchase of materials Ac.
The Chiefs of the various Bureaus are ordered
to discharge all clerks not actually needed any
longer; all ocean and river transports not requir
ed to bring home troops pad carry supplies, all
prisoners of war, fnrloughed and paroled officers
and soldiers and all recruits in rendezvous camps
except those for the regular army are likewise to
be discharged. All purchases and manufacture
of arms, ammunition, horses, mules, wagons,
and war material of all kinds is stopped ; also
the purchase of all forage and supplies not need
ed for immediate consumption. Commanders in
the field, posts, garrisons Ac., are directed to re
port their respective forces with a view to their
immediate reduction, and all public properly not
needed will be advertised and sold. That looks
like Peace. Do our Chicago platform friends still
think the war a “failure!”

In a mote Cowardly but equally effective way.—
And so thought the lute General Assembly, when
it passed the Registry Law. There appear to be
two prominent reasons why that Law should be
faithfully and strictly enforced. First, aa a pun*
ishment to home. Traitors] second, as a precau
tionary measure for the future.
President Johnson has declared that “Treason
is a crime.” Our Constitution and Laws declare
it u “crime," aud assign to it the extremeet pen
alty. Jt is indeed the worst of all crimes, the
“sum of all villaniee,” an outrage equally against
the Laws of God and of mm. It Is too grave a
public sin to go unpunished, when such miuor
offences as ai 0., robbery and even murder, are
followed by such severe penalties.
The deluded people of the South, who by mil
itary' authority or by forcoof public opinion, were
, forced into the Rebel armies, deserve 90tne con
sideration. But what sliyill be done with these
. Rebels in our midst, citizens of a loyal State, en
[ joying the protection and privilege of the gov
, eminent, who deliberately and of their own free
, will, gave their heart*', aud so far as they dared
, their hands, for the overthrow of that govern
ment? Surely he who attempts to take your Life
. in secret, is as culpable as he who would do the
. same thing openly. And leaving out of consid
. eratiou the question of absolute right, for the on
, ly right thut a Rebel has not forfeited is the right
l to be disposed of as the government in its good
ness may direct —it is as little as the pestilent
Traitors of the State can expect, Tcrtainly as lit
, tic as the Union people are willing to exact of
. them, that they suffer disfranchisement as a pen
. alty for their crimes. Treason should forever be
a mark on a man as black and deep as Cain’s,
ft should he a reproach and a by-word. It
should follow' its wearer to the grave. It should
. make him an outcast from respectable society, a
’ mere dependent on the mercy of his neighbors.
Great and important results have been aecom
, plished in Maryland since the beginning of the
war. Universal emancipation has been prodaim-
I ed and Legislation has been directed to placing
the State on a new and higher career of prosper
ity than she has yet attained. The Union men
, have doue this work. The men whom the Reg
istry Law' proposes to reach, have violently and
persistently fought against it. They are still
fighting against it. They mean to continue do
ing so. And if by any misfortune, the political
power which they lost by their disloyalty, should
again pass into their hands, all the good results
achieved aud in prospect may he averted, and
the State be thrown back into the clutches cf the
treasonable, slave holding aristocracy. With a
proper enforcement of the Registry Law, such a
calamity will be avoided. It will secure the
administration of public affairs to the loyal peo
ple, they who have so faithfully battled for the
interests of the State during the past four years.
The work which they have begun must be
poshed forward, their ideas must bo carried out.
And it would be about as wise to put a loaded
pistol in the hands of a common high-wayman
and turn him loose upon society, as to permit the
political power of the State to revert to those
men who ruled on the 19th of April, 1861.
They must be secured against the power of doing
mischief in-future. The only way to accomplish
this, and to make them feel how heinous a sin is
Treason, is to enforce the Registry Law. All fu
ture struggles will be decided by ihe manner in
which it is carried out.
IMPORTANT WAR NEWS.
The East Leg Broken.
Johnston Surrenders to Sherman.
As soon as Gen. Grant, reached Gen. Sher
man’s lleadqunrteß, he notified him that the
terms proposed between him and Johnston,
would not he accepted by the government. John
ston was immediately informed of the fact, and
warned that the truce between the two armies
was at an end, and that hostilities would be at
once resumed. Johnston, thinking “discretion
the better part of valor,” gent hack a flag of
truce, expressing bis willingness to surrender on
the same terms as Gen. Lee did. This proposi
tion was accepted on our Bide and the last for
midable army of the Rebellion, stacked its arms
and came under the “Old Flag” as prisoners of
war. About 28,000 men were paroled and per
mitted to return to their homes. All the artille
ry and public property was parked and will be
forwarded to Washington.
The surrender took place on the 26th nit., in
the vicinity of Raleigh. The Union army imme
diately began moving homeward, with the ex
ception of the Tenth and Twenty-third corps un
der Gen. Schofield, who will he distributed as
garrisons. Jeff. Davis, with several members of
his fleet-footed cabinet and the plunder which he
secured iu the Richmond hanks before he left, is
reported heading off’ for Mexico, under an escort
of 2000 Rebel cavalry under Gen. Wade Hump,
ton. lie may try to reach the coast and then
make his way to Cuba in a small vessel. As we
have troops scattered throughout Georgia, it is
hoped that he may yet he caught.
The Rebel Secretary of the Navy, Mallory, for
merly U. S. Senator from Florida, lms given
himself op at Pensacola. The Rebel ram Webb,
was lately blown up, leaving the Rebel Navy,
almost without anything to float large enough to
cany a cannon.
Guerillas and roving bands of maraudejs are
everywhere coming within onr lines, and laying
down their arms, and there seems to be a univer
sal anxiety among the southern people, lately so
rampant, to accept the failure of their Confedera
cy with a good grace, submit to the mild regu
lations established by the government authori
ties and quietly resume their accustomed
peaceful occupations. In spite of the stereotyped
assertion of our Rebel neighbors’ that “The south
ern people can never be conquored,” they are
“conquered,” conquered by our armies as well
as by our magnanimity. The only organized
force now left is Kirby Smith’s, west of the Mis
sissippi, and it is said he has proposed to surren
der.
Baltimore, Hall’s Springs and Har
ford Railway,
By an act of tha late Legidature a com
pany was incorporated for the purpose of con
structing a railway from Baltimore city to Eclair
in Harford county. They are empowered to make
either a single or double track railway, with the
necessary grades, for the transportation of pas
sengers and freight, and use either steam or horse
power. It is expected that the road will bo made
on the bed of the Harford turnpike, but may be
run ou another lino, if the turnpike company
make any objections. It is required that the road
• shall be begun within two years, and four miles
J' of it completed within four, and not more than
five cc-nts per mile or part of a mile shall be cliarg
-1 ed for fare.
The stock is fixed at $2 share, and limited
■ to 20,000 shares. Two dollars shall be paid on
I each share at the time it is subscribed, and as
! soon as $40,000 worth of stock is subscribed, a
j President and Directors shall be elected, and the
i company be fully organized. By advertisement
s in another column, it will be seen that.th Com
missioners have opened books for subscription.
> We hope the citizens of Baltimore and Harford
- counties, and especially those living near the pro
i posed line of the road, will give their active aid
- and encouragement to this important improve
r meat. Besides serving to derelope a fine section
t of country, increasing the value of land and fa
s cilitating communication with the city, it can
1 hardly fall to prove a safe and profitable invest

? In reading over the speeches and messages of

. seem tr ivial and nreauingless, no one can fail to
s be impressed with the firmness of. purpose, the
[ kindness of heart, the liberal and Christian spirit,
. the broad principles of humanity that actuated
; his life. We make the following extract from his
* annual message to Congress, December 6th, 1864
- to show how firmly he stood on the subject of
. Emancipation :
, I repeat the declaration made a year ago, that
while I remain in my present position I shall not
' attempt to retreat or modify the Emancipation
I Proclamation, nor shall I return to slavery any
. person who is free by the terms of that proclama
, lion or by any of the acts of Congress.
If the people should, by whatever mode or
■ means, make it an Executive duty to re-rnslave
such persons, another, and not 1, mnst be their
instrument to perform it. In stating a single
condition of peace, I mean simply to say that the
war will cease on the part of the Government
l whenever it shall have ceased on the part of those
i who began it.
The following is the closing paragraph of his
. late Inaugrnl Address. The history of public
; men records few nobler sentiments :
Fondly do we hope—fervently do we pray that
, this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass
away, yet, if God wills that it continue until all
the wealth filled by the bondman’s two hundred
i and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk,
and until every drop of blood drawn with the
lu6t shall be paid by another drawn with the
sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so
still it must be said, “ the judgements of the Lord
are true and righteous altogether ”
With malice'to nono with charity for all with
firmness in the right, ns God gives ns to see the
right, let us strive on to finish the work we arc
in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for
him who shall have borne the battle, and for his
widow and his orphan, to do all which may
achieve aud cherish a just and lasting peace among
ourselves and with all nations.

The President’s Murder.
The Plot Traced to Rebel Leaders.
President Johnson has issued a Proclamation,
Stating that from evidence in the Bureau of Mili
tary Justice, the late President's murder was in
cited and procured by Jell’Davis and other Rebel
leaders, and that in order to secure the ends of
Justice, the following rewards are offered for the
arrest of said person :
For Jeff Davis, $100,000; for Clement C. Clay,
Jacob Thompson, George N. Sanders, and Bev
erly Tucker, each $25,000; for ffra.O, Cleary,
late Clerk of Clement,o. Clay, SIO,OOO.
These villians are well known as leading men
iu the Confederacy. Thompson was Pres. Buc
hannan’s Secretary of the Interior; Saunders,
was one of the reputed rebel Pence Commission
ers in Canada, to whom President Lincoln sent
his short and pointed reply headed, “To whom
it may concern Cleary, has since given himself
up to the Canadian authorities by whom he is
held under bail.
Appuiimg uisaster.
Early on Sunday morning 30th, ult., the
steamer Sultana, on her way from New Orleans
to St. Lewis, with about 2200 persons on board,
mostly exchanged Federal prisoners oil their way
home, blew up about ten miles above the eity of
Memphis, Tennessee. After the explosion, the
boat took fire, and from 1500 to 1700 human be
ings were thus suddenly hurled into eternity.—
Only 500 or 600 of the entire number were saved.
It has been surmised that tho explosion was caus
ed by a torpedo introduced with the coal. The hire
tory of steamboat disasters furnishes no parallel
to this appalling calamity.
Abrrst and Tkiai..—Benj. G. Harris, who rep
resented the sth Cong. DUt. of Maryland, in Con
gress was arrested lately on the charge of aiding
the rebellion, and persuading returned rebels from
taking the oath of allegiance. He is being tried
before a Military Commission at Washington.

Tiik Lath Jury. —As the jury of the previous
term of Court was called 4 * tlie dry jury,” we
think those of the late term earned
the cognomen of “ the debating jury.” Some of
them seemed to have debate “on tire brain,” and
every opportunity was taken to indulge this
pleasant and profitable pastime. On Friday
evening, 28th ult., an interesting extempore de
bate was held in the Hall, on the question, —
•“Should the right of suffrage depend on Educa
tion.” Messrs. O dell, Vfriuht, Tiinanus, Tin m
as, Arinacost and others, discussed the question
in an able and practical manner. The Grand ju
ry found 55 indictments, three of which are
against parties concerned in the burning of Gov.
Bradford's house during the rebel raid of last
June.
The May term of Court commences on Mon
day, 15th instant.
Burnt Records. —By an act of the late General
Assembly, O. C. Warfield, Esq., was appointed
Commissioner for tho completion of the restora
tion of the Burnt Records. Persons having pa
pers recordel iu the Clerk’s office, which have
been injured by the fire, will be notified by Cir
cular and Summons to produce them. Failing to
do so, they are liable to a penalty not exceeding
SSO and costs. For the information of our readers
we will next week publish a list of the injured
Libers.
Con. John W. Wilson. —By reference to the
Union of last week, it will be seen that at a meet
ing held at Cockeysville, on the 26th ult., a com
mittee of eight was appointed to solicit donations
for the liquidation of rertain debts against the
estate of the late Col. Wilson. The Editors of
the Union hare the honor of being appointed on
that committee, and w ill take great pleasure in
receiving any donations towards this praisewor
thy object.
Plant Flowers. —This is the season to fix up
the flower gardens, and front yards and orna
mentyonrtwvellings with nature’s choicest beau
ties. Mr. Braekenridgc, at the Itosebank Nurse
ries. Govaustown, has a complete assortment of
shrubs, flowers and trees, and is withal so gen
tlemanly and so thoroughly acquainted with his
business, that our readers w ill find it to their ad
vantage to deal with him.
The Christian Commission —A meeting will be
held at Epsom church, on Sunday, May 7th, at
4 o’clock P. M., for the purpose of organizing a
“ Ladies Association,” to aid the Christian Com
mission in their work of love toward the sick
and wounded soldiers. Speakers from Baltimore
will be present and w'e hope the effort will meet
with the success which it deserves.
Salhs ok Property. —Samuel 11. Cover, Auc
tioneer, on Tuesday last, sold the well-known
place of resort called “ Greeuwood ” or “ Cotn
egy’s,” on back river, 8 miles from Baltimore,

chasers are mostly from the city, and will prob
ably build residences during the coming season.
The family have retained the Homestead and 70
acres of laud.

the subject of “ Public School Education,” after
which the question—“ Was the assassination of
Julius Caesar beneficial to tho Roman Empire”
was briefly discussed and decided in the affirma
tive.
The Crops and Fruit. —From all parts of tho
County we have the most favorable reports of
the growing crops and the promise of a good
yield of fruit. The season lias been very favora
ble so far, and is fully three weeks earlier than

For the first time in the world’s history is the
Chief Magistrate of a pure Republic stricken down
by the impious hand of 1 lood-thirsty treason !
Maddened to frenzy and wrought up to the most
intense villainy by the excited thoughts, by the
blackened reflections of the horrid deed he was
about to commit, the assassin pulls the fatal trig
ger, the missile of death reaches its goal—it
accomplish :s its feindish purpose. The work is
done! ! The greatest among the great is no more!
Tho faithful Ruler of the greatest of nations, is
the victim of a vile assassin, and woe and lamen
tation clothe twenty millions of patriots in the
habiliments of mourning 1
Every loyal heart feels the awful shock, while
“bloody treason ” momentarily ‘ flourishes over
ns.” The nation's heart is weighed down with
sorrow. The land is filled with mourning. The
people how their heads in grief, for which there
is no expression. Bitter tears betoken their un
told anguish. Unutterable chagrin seizes the
breasts of our patriotic sons and devoted daugh
ters.
The good—the great- tho true-hearted, every
where, stand appalled at the horrible tragedy.—
Heart-stricken mourners seek in vain for couso
lation. Alleviation, there is none. But yester
day, we were standing on the pinnacle of ecstasy,
listening with transports to the faint echoes of
Rebellion and gaunt Treason, dying away in the
departing moments, as we thought, welcoming
the longed-for-return of the universal friendship
of the hitherto antagonistic hearts—anticipating
the promised time, the jubilee year with all its
train of blissful scenes. To-day, cast down with
the deepest gloom—enshrouded in the most ap
palling horror. The transition is of one which his
tory furnishes no example. But if the history of
our Republic is stained with the infamy of a mur
dered President, we have the proud consolation
of demonstrating to the world, that such an un
paralleled catastrophe docs not disorder the exe
cutive machinery, when such an event, in the
trans-Atlantic States, would breed a revolution
aud bring forth anarchy. If in the family of
Republics, wo are the first to experience the dis
grace of such foul treasou, we arc also the first to
survive its deadly blow at the foundation ot lib
erty. First to teach the nations the stability of
Republics, as well as, that their safety rests in
the hearts of their people.
Although onr beloved President has endured
the blackest calumny, the vilest vituperation that
has ever been poured without measure upon the
devoted bfad Of the faithful servant of any peo
ple, although subjected to the ridicule ot the
jester—the abuse of the villian —the contempt, of
pretending Aristocracy —the scoff of gainsaying
traitors—he has his reward. In less than a general
tion hence, his name will stand below none on the
catalogue of the great —the true—the good. Au
unbiased Posterity will assign him a place she
has given to few before him.
The school-boy of nineteen hundred will read
of his illustrious deeds with pride, patriotic pride,
that he is an American and that Abraham Lin-,
coin was President of the United States. Gen
tle winds and sighing zephyrs will ehant a fit
ting requiem over the grave of the departed pa*

more appropriate tribute to It is undying fame
I than the erection of stately columns or granite
piles.
The latter may attest our reneration for him.
The former will enshrine liberty’s form upon our
hearts and inspire ns with the same pure, patri
otic spirit, that actuated him in his unswervcing
devotion to his country’s cause. His labors have
ended. His work is done. May the foul spirit
of treason not survive bis pure spirit. May the
canopy of an undivided nation, ever watch with
her “starry eyes’’ the peaceful slumbers of the
great. Let all the people say amen.

For tke Union.
Gth District, Baltimore Co., 1
April ll)lli, 1865. /
Messrs. Editors Baltimore. County Union : —Some
of the patriotic citizens of this community assem
bled this evening at School House No. 4, near the
Pine Grove church. The meeting was presided
over by Capt. Culling?. After appropriate re
marks by Messrs. Cullings, Jones aud others, the
following resolutions were unanimously adopted :
Whereas, Amidst our joy at the downfall of
the infamous rebellion, aud the triumphant suc
cess of our government, and realizing our country
at last amid the glorious sunshine of returning
peace, we are suddenly overw helmed with grief
—grief which is painfully intensified—at the
startling and hcart-rendiugannouncement of the
terrible- murder of Abraham Lincoln, President
of the United Stoles ; one whose noble devotion in
faithfully and religiously protecting, defending
and upholding the Constitution and Laws under
circumstances of tumult and treason, unparallell
ed in the history of the world, has rendered his
name immortal. The crushing humiliation comes
upon us in the hour of general exultation tor
vouchsafed blessings on the Nation’s arms, prom
ising speedy restoration of internal peace and
prosperity. Treason and rebellion have at last
brought forth their fruits in foul conspiracy and
vile assassination —in the outbreak of malicious
w ickedness—aud to what it tends, is but too plain.
As a people we now first leat n such deep disgrace.
As a nation, we mourn for our leader—our chief
has fallen. At the very time when be was devi
sing acts of kindness, of mercy, of clemency to
the very men who have done thistouldeed ; even
on the day of his death, devising the best means
of restoiing a distracted land and of giving back
to traitors the blessings of a free and good gov
ernment. To be taken now from the Nation, in
a sudden and violent way by the band of a fiend
ish assassin, in the midst of his usefulness, of his
greatness in full view of his reward, is enough
to crush the heart with grief aud to make the
soul sink in deep despair.
Resolved, That whilst we are proud to appre
ciate his value, we doubly lament bis loss at the
time when his increased efficiency entitled us to
expect still more glorious manifestations of his
patriotism and ability.
Resolved, That whilst our hearts are aching
over this bloody and revengeful murder of our
Chief Magistrate—this crowning infamy of the re
bellion —the same hearts are swelling with anger
to avenge the noble victim of patriotism. Let
the assassin and all those whose morbid sympa
thies are with the cowardly wretch, be turned
over to the vengeance of God.
Resolved, That as a patriotic people of this
great country, let us show to the world that even
with this heavy calamity, the Republic is safe,
the Nation-lives and will continue to live.
Resolved, That nothing more will he needed to
stafnp the character of the rebel confederacy with
disgrace so deed and damning, that to the end of
time it will darken to blackness the page of his
tory and even the very age in which it has oc
curred.
Resolved, That we hope this sad calamity may
rebuke aud allay the bitterness of political feeling
the malignity of passions that have blinded men’s
minds and have so envenomed their hearts that
patriotism, candor, equity seem to have forsaken
the land and that no longer “Charity,” but
“ Party Zeal ” covers the multitude of sins.
Resolved, That all those traitors who left our
county to join in arms against our Government,
should fc:; pevened from ever returning or being
recognized as American citizens.
Resolved , That the proceedings of this meeting
be sent to the Baltimore County Union for pub
lication.

away ; and believing that a special period should
be assigned for again humbling ourselves before
Almighty God, in order that the bereavement
may be sanctified to the nation :

they consider it imperative that this should be
