The Judgeship.
Lewis H. Wheeler, Esq., several weeks ago
announced himself an Independent candidate for
Judge of the Circuit Conrt. Mr. Wheeler al
ways called himself “a Union man” and had
many fr iends among Union people, and it was a
scarce of* regret to such, that he came out in op-
Jndge Emory, who has not his equal
within the limits of the county, as a Judge.—
B*t*that;regret was deepened into sorrow, mixed
with a feeling of suspicion, when on Saturday
mdtiiirig last, he withdrew from the contest and
friends to support Richard Grason for
the Judgeship. Whether this was only part of
the scheme to elect Mr. Grason—whether, like
Jobaia the Wilderness, Mr. Wheeler was simp
ly** pioneer sent forth to prepare the way for
of the real candidate, we cannot say.
We Href tirtvvilling to believe that Mr. Wheeler
has jjofte Over to the enemy, body and boots, or .
that he" would allow himself to be used as a
ntqr&jUXQl for the accomplishment of their de
sigM? M m ,
Bu/pertain it is, that Mr. Grason is again a
candidate for the Judgeship, and that strong ef
forts being made to secure his election. —
The Independents have received him with open
arms, and have put his name at the head of their
ticket. They claim that the action of the Registers
in.Aafcuag his name as a “qualified” voter
makes hitn at “loyal” man. What nonsense !
Af*WbN Wright they say that wearing a bine suit
would make him “loyal.” As well might they
Claim that the pardon of Jeff Davis would make
him a “loyal” man, entitled to all the privileges
of citizenship and office. ITis record, like Mr.
Grason’s is before the people. Registry Boards
and Legislatures may decide as the testimony in
the. case seems to demand. But the loyal people
of. the county, who for four long and weary
ysftfl,-struggled against a rebellion which drew
one* Of-Iffi Life-springs from just such men/
knflW'irfcere Mr. Grason’s sympathies and itdlu
en£# Jrert, during that time. “All the watws of
great Neptune's Ocean” cannot wash out the
suspicion.
Another tiling. We understand Mr. Grason
baa always claimed to be the legally elected
Jadge of this Court. If this is so, why does be
ask to be re-elected to an office which is already
bil Ott? Is bts rwuK not aa admission that be
wai lyf legally elected last Fall—that, ia fact, be
bag no right to tbs office wbwsa duties be per

Hot jf fee qwesiMo of loyalty were not iavolv

Mr. Moaaas’o baa had more of tba political in it,
with it* inevitable attendants of corruption and
demoralization. In strict integrity of character,
aowwd; legal ability, and the faithful performance
o W* duties, Judge Emory may at least claim
to be Mr. Grason's equal.
things are the strongest possible re
cooffitndaUoa for bis election. They are unvar

tytirbear them ia mind on election day. Even
if‘MV: GrnsOrt were elected, it is by no means-cer

tbs best man in the county for the position to
which he is nomited.

Next Tuesday is electio n day, and we hope ev
er V 1 *?! if lotrntan will make it a point to go to the
Potts arid use his vote and his influence in sup
port of the Regularly Nominated Union Ticket.
U,the.ticket which we advocate, and which,
wg'btMeye all conscientious Union men should
suppdrttilf the Independent ticket had any claims
on the loyal voters of the county, it has lost them
all, by discarding our present, honest and efficient
Judge, and substituting for him, a man whom
the Legislature declared ineligible to the positiou
by reason of disloyalty. Let there be no tam
pering with suspected loyalty. Let it not be said
that the honest people of Baltimore county, de
feated ao capable and deserving a man as Judge
Emory by the election of one who, whatever his
legal abilities may be, hits too suspicious a record
te be elevated to so important a position as Judge
of She Circuit Coart.
The men presented to yon on the Regular Union
ticket are good men. Y'ou can make no mistake
ia voting for them. Their most active opponents
dare not say one word against their private char
acter or their pabiic capacity. Why should you
throw them aside and vote for men who can be
BObfeK*r r aitd who have tainted their cause by
an undue familiarity with those in onr midst who
have been persistently hostile to the Union, and
who, during the fierce struggles of the past four
years, have given all their sympathy and encour
agement to the enemies of our common country ?

At Their Old Trickfl*' ■
With the close of the WHr aud the relaxation
of military authority, the old spirit of Coppet
headism is manifesting itself anew. Those men
in our midst who gave the rebellion all the aid
which, m their secret, cowardly way, they dared,
to do, are now coming forth from their hiding
places, to which they were temporarily drivfm
by the strong arm of national authority. Though
they failed in their crimiuul efforts to sever (lie
Union, the first thing they wunt on its re-estab*
lishmcnt is office. The thirst for office is really,
their “last ditch.” it was this that took them
into the rebellion, it is this that makes them now
put on the outward form of loyalty. To place
themselves in power, all their old, corrupt party
machinery is promptly 'put to work, and they
are already practicing the same wicked arts with
which they deceived the people and pjaced them
selves in office in days gone by. With a display
of loyalty that sounds oddly enough when com
pared with their past history, and by the aid Of
a few misguided Union men among ns, they have
laid a plan for securing the Judgeship to one of
their number. They don’t expect to do this by
fair means or on an ojien issue with the people.
They expect to force the movement dowu the peo
ple’s throats in a sly way, with a good sugar,
coating of loyalty, as a nurse administers her
bitter doses to an unsuspecting child. And hence
they have printed a ticket headed by Mi . Graven
and containing underneath, the names of evtry
candidate in the field except Judge Emery ’s.
These tickets will be used among Uuiou men,
and in Ibis way uianv an unsuspecting Vote will
be cast for Grason. It is really a “ Grason tick*
et.” He is the only Copperhead candidate in
the field. What does lie or what do his friends
care who get the other offices? Nothing. Gra
son is the man they are working for, aud so our
misguided friends of the Independent movement,
who have allowed themselves to be tacked to the
skirts of his garments, will discover. “
Now we call upon the Union men of the coun
ty to beware of this Copperhead scheme. Turn
out in your strength and defeat this amalgamated
tioket which seeks to elevate Richard Grason to
the Judgeship. Examine well your ticket and
see that Mr. Emory’s name heads iU > Be vigilant,
be active. Look after the Union men ©f'v'oUr
neighborhood and see that they rire at the Polls.'
The fight is the old fight of the past Toqr years,
Don’t give up the field to the enemy at (his day.
Beware of Spurious Tickets, j
A friend informs us that he saw a ticket in the
hands of a man of very doubtful, loyalty, wiß},
Mr. Grason’s name at the lieud.for Judge, and
the remainder filled up with the natnes of: the
Regular Union Candidates. Thisls one of the
old Copperhead tricks, intended to deceive honest
Unidn voters. They are extremely anxious to
secure Mr. Grasou’s election. They care more
for that than they do for the balance of the, tick
et. And by putting the names of our entire can
didates on the same ticket with Grason, they
make a parade of Unionism and loyalty,' which
is calculated to deceive the uns'uspociing. Let
every voter on election day examine well Ins
ticket before putting it in the ballot box, and 6ee
that none but the right men are on it,. ,i-,
Beware!
We have seen a number of tickets gotten .up tp
deceive unwary Union men, and all having for
their direct object, the election of Richard Gra
son. They all have the same head", namely :
Richard Grason, but the body and tail 'Rre’of
sucli shape and complexion as best adapts them
to the different localities in which they are to be
used. Observe the caution suggested by our cor
respondent in another column. Vote no ticket
that has not the name of D. C. H. Emory on it
for Judge. If any returned or resident :tebel
thrusts any of their Copperhead biillols in ybtif
foefjpnt it in your pocket and use it for 1 Sharing'
material.
A New Church Needed. ” J .
For several months post, the Methodist Episco
pal congregation ol this vicinity, have been agi
tating ibe subject of building a new church,.
The biiildiog in w hich they now worship d?ss
uot belong to the church in fapt, and besides is
too small for the growing wants of the church
and the community. There are other objections
to it,—such as, lhe difficulties in reaching It m
times of bad weather, its comfortless and lu'cbn
venieut arrangement. Ac.
We regret to learn, however, that the prqject
meets with favor only Iroro a portion of the con
gregation, while others, who from their position
ia the church and in society might be expected
to give it thoir hearty aid and co-operation either
oppose the morernent entirely or give it tliatiluke
wartu encouragement which is little better than
open opposition.
In n wealthy, populous and refined communi
ty like this, no congregation cun expect to flour
ish for any length of time without providing the
public with good accommodations., A great ma
ny things are necessary, at ibis day, to secure
the success of religion in par mi ist* btaides good
preaching and orthodox doctrine. ’. Sinners must:
be induced to attend the preached word, ere you
can expect them to be benefitted ‘tliereby and
brought under its influence. And n great many
persons will go to that church which gives them'
the best singing, the most comfortable seats and
the best ventilated room. The church.that would
enlarge its fold must hold out such inducements
ns these, or the people will seek them elsewhere.'
The community needs another good church
here. The Prot. Epis. congregation have an ele
gant church, the finest country church we ever
saw. But with the large nuntbat of religious
people iu our midst and the wealth winch they
represent, it speaks badly for their enterprise anßi
their zeal in the cause of Christianity,: that therei
is not at least, another large, comfortable and
convenient house of worship in Towsontown.
What is there to prevent the .Methodist congre
gation from erecting su?h il building ? 'Nothing,
but a lack of interest and a niggard!v parsimony
that is equally hostile to their, qwu material m-i
terests'and to the teachings of their(iqly reiigiqp,,
A single member, we understand," lias offered a.
fine site for a new church, with a cash contribu
tion of SIOOO in additiou; and if those who:
should feel nt least an equal interest in the mat
ter, manifested one-tenth the liberality and zeal,
a church would go up at once, that would be an
ornament to our town a blessing tb the commu
nity and an honor to Him whose worship;it would
commemorate. .
We speak of the
iug a new church, because they are agitating the
matter, and because they seem most, tp
and are most able to creel it.: But! !wc\d?jnot
look at the subject With a narrow denomination-’
al view. It is a public matter, which ;
all are interested, whether MeriibdiJi df hot/
church goer or not. Leaving out of Account mere
denominational success aud pvetJ.;those higher,
precepts of moral duty which are binding on. us
all, it will pay our poekets to build thisehurbhj
Many things besides industry; economy and
business tact, increase our wealth aud add to in
dividual and national prosperity. There is no
sound progress outside of education anfi morali
ty. God has so ordained that the developement
of the material world depends upon Our moral
and intellectual developement. He gives us good
crops and profitable commerce, and happy bombs,
as a reward for our faithfulness fh his
School-houses and churches, while their erection
diminishes our store Tor the time, make our la
bors more profitable and happy, make our neigh
borhood more desirable and thus affd largely to
our actual gain.
And we know of no .enterprise iti thb
people of this community could invest with the
promise of a more ample return, than in a new
church. Let us haveit by, all means. It will
make yonr land more valuable, your residence
more desirable and ye if will have t’heaatUfaution
of hearing the word of God preafehed dii Sun
day without getting your clothing soited' whtf

Take Notice!
i We publish to-day a “circular” signed “Jus
tice,” showing upon what grounds Mr. Grason
i asks the votes of the people of the county. We
i, ask fpr it a careful perusal. Loyal men of the
l, Hptphty know his record too well to be easily be
; gulled by the plausible statements of “Justice.”
> Tin fact of his Registration does not wipeout
i that record. It does not control auy person’s
opinion. Tta Registers of any other district
*1 might have rejected him, and probably would
-■? Jbave done so.
i i Thft-Temaiks about Judge Emory aud the in
’ sinuatiou that he holds bis office without legal
t light, are in the highest degree impudent aud in
’ suiting to Mr. Emory and his friends, as well as
' to the Legislature who declared Mr. Grason iu*
i eligible. “Justice” makes the best of a bad
- case and the Uuion people will so understand it.

' Some of our Rebel neighbors who long ago
resolved to die in “the last ditch,” have met
their fate at last. They found it on Wednesday

A CAUTION.
Will you allow me, Meter). Elitort , through
year columns to call the attention of the Union
menßaltimore county, to a “well planned
scheme,” that will be practiced at the approach
ing election by our opponents, and which, ifsuc
' ccssluliy managed even to a limited extent, may
- defeat our Union nominee for Judge—D. C. H.
: Ebioiy . Esq.
Let me say to every Uuion voter—Be on your
guard. You will be approached by h Democrat
t with language of this import :—“1 will vote for
, Mr. Harvey for Sheriff’, if you will vote for Mr.
Grason for Judge.”—This will be in Mr. Har
vey’s district, in Mr. C<ckey’s district it will
be, , 11 ! will vole for Mr. Cockey for Commissiou
. cry.if you will vote for Mr. Grason,” and so it will
be all over the county, but more particularly in
thbse districts where the Uuion nominees reside
arid where It is known many voters are swayed
j by personal considerations. Now I call upon
, you tospurn such propositions, as base, impudent
reflections upon your honesty and integrity, as
Union trien. What care they for the gentlemen
named on the Inde|>endent ticket ? For is it not
1 plain to your comprehension, that their object in
enticing those gentlemen to run iu opposition to
the regular nominees, is purely of a selfish char
acter? They want capital to trade on, and
they have got it. And I predict that the Inde
. pendent ticket will be the most thoroughly
. “scratched” ticket that ever came out of a Ballot
box, scratched in every instance for the benefit of
. of Mr. Grason and Mr. Grason alone.
I have nothing to say against Mr. Grason.—
He is a gentleman of excellent legal attainments,
and under other circumstances would no doubt
receive a flattering vote. That he has made a
• mistake in allowing his name to be used at this
time is clear to bis best friends, many of whom
I knour would like to see him withdraw even at
this late day. But whether he withdraws or not,
, jt is the plain duty of every Union man to see
tlurt his neighbor does not fall into the trap set
for him, (hat of “swapping names.”
; Ax a Baltimore county man, I feel proud of
the opportunity-of voting for such a man as D.
* b. H. Emory’for’Judge. He is a plain, consist
apt, Christian gentlemen, with a clear head and
. a good heart. He received the unanimous vote
of the convention, which nominated him, and
that without management on his part, and i
hold that the man who allows his name to be
stricken from the ticket, is unworthy of being
called a Union man. Honesty.
For the Union.
Lewis H. Wheeler.
Meters. Editors :—lt appears from tbo adver
tUemehts in the papers, that Lewis H. Wheeler,
has withdrawn from the ranvass and has request
ed bis friends to go for Mr. Grason. As a mem
ber of the bar, and practicing in the court presi
ded over at present by Judge Emory, and profess
ing to be a Union man, bow much more becom
ing and friendly it would have been, to have
withdrawn from the contest, and exercised his
privilege of working for his choice, without ad
vertising his preference. Unless however, he had
objections to the Judge, and in that case he
should have stated them, and not left the public
to imagine his reasons.
Whatever question may have heretofore exist
ed as to the character of this gentlemen’s Union
tsta{- there can no longer be any. It is fully
settled'by his giving up all his friends and all
his influence to Mr. Grason, who by a Union
Legislature was solemnly pronounced disquali

cupy the position of Judge.

Atrocious Mukueh.—About noun oh Sunday-'
[ last, the body of Henry B. Grove, l’hotograpber,
was found lying dead in his business room at

had tukeu a picture for some person who hftppen
' ed to drop in, and while he was subiufttiug- the
picture to the chemical part of the process, the
|>ersou approached him from behind aud shot
him through the heud with a revolver, killing
him almost instantly. The murderer tbeu rob
-1 bed Mr. Grove of his pocket book, said to have
t contained considerable moiiey, a valuable gold
s watch and chain and a diamond breastpin, and
t then left, taking with him the picture which it is
thought, Mr. Grove was just completing.
I No other person was iu that part of the house
i at the time, and no clue has yet been found, by
r which to identify tire perpetrator of the dkstarid
ly act.
Mr. Grove, was originally from Penna. whore
• his parents now reside, and was once a schoolmate
. of the senior editor of this paper. He was about
j 25 years of age, of sober habits, social disposi

manners, won friends for himself whCrevef lie

" ly took it into his dwelling house just adjoining,
. in the evening. And as he keeps no money in
, the shop, tlie thieves were cheated of their object
' and left without getting auy booty.

The Registry Law.
Opinion of Col. Phil pot, Senator from Bal
timore County.
I do not, for a moment, imagine that I can
thiltK to the weight t *' e very'lucid
Option of tbe law officer of the State, already
B&ptd before the public, by any thing I can say
iif irfcforeiß-e to ithe proper construction of the
Registry law* [nß3t-d by the last Legislature of
tliigftyate, ‘But as I was a member of one of the
u Jfraacl>cs .of that body and took considerable in
i'fcrest in tfnrt lh.w, I trust it will not be consid
ered intrusive in me briefly to express my views
'upon that subject, in answer to a communication
published in the Baltimore American , over the
signature of Ephraim F. Anderson, whom I re
cognize with pleasure as a member of the House
of Delegates from Washington county, and for
whom and-jwhotse opinions yrwm/My, I entertain
IhetniglKst respect.
ij js gajd and I fully eudorse the declaration,
that the design or intent of the law giver, is the
law. piust be remarked, that ordinarily
it is difficult to arrive at a correct understand
ing of what that design or intent is, simply from
the impression or declaration of one or two mem
bers of the body from whence that law emanates.
1 am franked Say in this connection, that so far
as I know there was ijo-doubt expressed or implied
in the Senate,' in reference to the construction of
tiie Registry law, as a whole, or in any of its
parts. Indeed, it gives ine pleasuee to say, that
it caine'from the other House, so well matured in
every part and so explicit in ail its provisions,
that we found no difficulty in giving it our sanc
tion, almost entirely without debate. But my
friend aters, and no doubt correctly, that a dif
ficult tMoccti red to his mind, as regards the pro
vision of the-law’ delining the powers and duties
of the on the lwo last days, and was
about to projiose an amendment to counteract
tbe difficulty, but was prevented from dying sb'
by an explanation which was satisfactory to his
mind tjtyhe time, and which he seems to think
satisfactyrily settled the matter as to the design
or intent of the Legislature in this particular.
1 must beg leave to differ with tbe meiubeis
both in relation to this last conclusion and also
as\ regards Ids com tem plated amendment. I
Jiiotgr— 1 ■Pending the passage of the Bill in the
louse of Delegates, I called attention to the pro
vision in question, and proponed to commence
registering later in the mouth of August and
continuing until the day of election, and thereby
provide'ecrfoi/ff// for those who might be sick or
absent from their place of voting &c.”- How, let
me enquire, would this proposition accomplish
the desired object ? Is it more probable that vo
ters would be in better health and more apt to be
at Home, later iu August and so on until the
election, than they would tie between the saute
spaces of time earlier, and as prescribed by the
law ? I cannot see how, unless it could be shown
that tbpre was something peculiar in those pnr
ticuWidw3| more conducive to health and tend
ing Specially to make home more dear. But
is another objection to this amendment.—
It would lrqve the effect of defeating the object
of the law, in preventing the officers of Registra
tion fVouf making out their lists and publishing
them so ps to present them for public inspection.
At least it would lihve this effect so far as relates
to the thousands of citizens who might be regis
tered as voters on the two last days, and thus
rob the Registers of much important information,
which they nuglit require to aid them in coming
to it 'proper judgement as to the real qualifications
of the applicants for registration. 1 entirely
agree with my friend in the declaration that
“the law creating these Boards of Registration,
vested them with certain powers, to be exerted
jbj .them at all their sittings, until they finally
close their Books and it also with equal clear
neaa and-precision, defines how and when these
ptiwdrolnre to be thus exercised : viz, from a
= specified day in August, until the third Wed
nesday in Septi; it is the duty of the Registers
to be. jiresenl at the places of holding their meet
ings and to receive applications for registration,
examine at} d record them as voters or otherwise,
as the cif&'rnuf-be, and finally to make out their
lists, publish them, and submit them to public in
s n, preparatory to the discharge of their du-
the two last days. These duties are ex
plained in the eleventh section, which requires
the Registers to give “Notice for all persons in
terested, to apjiear before them at tbe place and
during tbe hours of registration, on the Tuesday
and Wednesday, nrxt preceding the Tuesday sif
ter the fitst Monday of November, to show any
omissions or other errors in the said lists, at
which time the lists of qualified voters shall be
corrected and finally closed.” I also take pleas
ure in agreeing with my friend in another posi
tion assumed by him : That this Registry law
was “never designed for the purpose of excluding
any citizen entitled under the Constitution, to
the elective franchise.” On the contrary, 1
think it exhibits singular liberality in this re
spect, that instead ot confining him to a single
day, as on the day of election, from 9 o’clock A.
M. to 6 P. M.,it gives him six long weeks in
which to make application and have his name
recorded at a, voter. So that if any fail to exer-
privilege, it will be because
of bis own neglect to embrace the liberal provi
sion of.this law, or when inevitable circumstan
ceß itHevrene beyond the control of the law or
thevoterhimself.
As a'member of the Union Party, and as a
loyal man, I would most gladly have every citi
zen entitled to a vote. to enjoy the privilege of
expressiug'Vis sentiments, by the exercise of the
elective franchise, but at the same time, I should
feel degraded it) my o-wn estimation, were I capa
ble of perverting or trampling upon the law
fdV that dr any other purpose.
'• Respectfully
Edward P. Pimlcot.

To tlte Union Party of Baltimore
County.
Fellow Citizens : —The Union Executive Com
mittee of Baltimore County, in view ot the extra
ordinary proceedings had by certain disappoint
ed politicians, who have presented a county tick
et for your spjhmge in opposition to the Regular
Nominations, feel ft to be their duty to address
That no ppljiicid party can survive, without
fidelity on the part of those who claim to belong
to it, is a self evident truth; and ulthough an
organization based upon the Loyalty and purity
of its (principles, may by its intrinsic strength
withstand the spasmodic attempts of defeated
and rejected aspirants to disorganize and embar
rass’!!,--yet the continuous and persistent machi
nations and treachery of this class of men, after
rejected and unmistakeable evidence of the pop
ular disfavor, should not be permitted to pass
vnthoot exemplary rebuke.
An opportunity is now at hand, which we
think should be availed of by the true Union
men of onr county to administer to these malcon
tents a withering and final condemnation.
Nfvee in'the history of parties, it is believed,
were nominations made with more unanimity.—
At the Primary Meetings, whilst a proper and
justifiable rivalry and competition took place be
tween the friends of the respective candidates,
the proceedings were characterized by harmony
and &OQd feeling for the most part, and in no irt
stifnCe, which has come to the knowledge of this
Committee, has any well founded complaint been
made against the entire fairness of the Primary
Meetings'. In the Convention, a corresponding
'honorable and temperate competition among the
delegates prevailed, aiul the Ticket nominated
was chosen after succesisve ballotings. in which
every candidate enjoyed the fullest opportunity
to press his claims. Men, who participated in
the Primary Meetings and were turned down by
the people, and who were ready to receive nomi
nations from tbe Convention if they could have
betffljqbfofMidland who profess to be Union men,
have notwithstanding these facts, presented an
opposition ticket, and claim to solicit support
from the! Union party.
The mire statement of this state of things, in
our judgement, ought to be sufficient to enlist
every hbd'ofHble Union man against such a fac
tion. It is in vain to ho|>e to maintain a party
organization, if such insubordination and reckless
disregaM’of party obligations find favor with
the people. ...
The obligicttsns of honor, ate not less impera
tive and forceful jn polities than in morals ; and
the man who will surrender the one, under the
influence of disappointed aspirations and selflsh
be trusted in the other. Men
whose principles hang loosely about them in pol
itics, are not above suspicion in morals, fur there
is pot one law of morals, which underlies Truth
and Honor.
These people may affect to be good citizens
and true men, but it has been seen in the past,
tuat such principles, or rather such a want of :
principle, leads to the most extreme and dishon
orable shifts and devices to attain success, for an
illustration of which a single instance will suf
fice :
At the lust.election in Baltimore county, the
ticket was nominated almost unanimously by
the Convention ; disaffection manifested itself :
soon after the nominations were made, toward a <
single candidate, whose defeat was procured by
the printing of a spurious ticket in one of the
DisTrictS, upon which the name of an Independ
ant candidate was placed, and the name ot a
regular nominee omitted. This spurious ticket
was held by, and handed to Union Voters, who
received it and voted it as the bona fide Union
ticket. The wrong here perpetrated was three
fold 1 ; fiTst, to the party, second, to the nominee,
and third, to the voter, who was cheated out of (
his suffrage.. , ;
The opiWsififtn now set up in our County, to j
th*'regularly and fairly nominated ticket, comes
fot the most part from the same quarter, and j
will doubtless hope for success under like frauds, jj
And we it onr duty to warn yon against
stub dishonorable and dishonest attempts. Let
votor wrefalljr v* tlw ticket which be

votes, and see that it contains the name of every
one of the candidates nominated by the Conven
tion, ami lie vtill not only vindicate the just
claims which his party principles demand of him,
but will hlso have the consciousness of knowing
1 that he has not been defrauded of his vote. He :
cannot be too particular in this respect, as wc
are satisfied from the information received from ,
every District in the County, that in no other
• manner can the so-called Independaut ticket re
ceive a shadow of support trout Uniou men.
1 I The ticket presented for your votes, is cotnpo
' sed of geutleuteti in erery way worthy of your
• confidence, men who have been long and farora
-1 , bly known to you uud against whose private or
political character, not a single word can be just
-1 . ]y uttered. Some of them—the County Commis
sioners, have served you with ability and fideli
! ty, and have so conducted the affairs of the Cottu
‘ j ty as to husband yonr resources, and maintain a
1 single eye to the public interests.
The candidate for Judge, needs no commenda
tion from us. His character wherever known, his
: , legal bearing, his affable and courteous manner,
' ! and liis great fidelity and punctuality ia the dis
charge of the duties of his office, commend him
1 to every loyal voter. It may with equal truth
be said of the candidates lor Sheriff, Treasurer
■ and Surveyor, that they are men worthy of your
" • confidence and support. We therefore eurnestly
1.1 solicit the Union men of the County, to turn out
1 ; on the 7th day of November and give a cordial
5 and undivided support to the ticket, the whole
1 ticket and nothing but tiie whole ticket.

This ticket is presented for the suffrages of
the voters of Baltimore county atthe approach
iug election. At the meeting, which presented
it, the following resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
Ketolved, That we heartily and cordially endorse the
policy of President Johnson as to the restoration of the
Union and pacification of the States lately in rebellion.
Resolved , That all powers not conferred upon the Gen
eral Government are reserved to the Btates or tlie peo
ple thereof, and that the power to regulate the right
suffrage belongs exclusively to the people of the re-spec- ?
tive States, and that in President Johnson's'”
course in regard to this subject we recognize the only
true and constitutional doctrine.
/. etolved. That we recognize this as a Government for
white men, and that we will oppose giving to the neguo
race the rigiit to vote or sit as jurors.
Resolved, That the Registry Law .of this State needs
modification ; and while we admit that all good citizens
must submit to it whilst in force, yet we will use our
best efforts to have it so modified at the earliest oppor
tunity as to permit all good citizens to exercise the
right of suffrage.
Resolved, That our soldiers eminently deserve the
gratitude and thanks of their country for their patriot
ism and courage, and good conduct in the field, and we*
take this occasion to express our appreciation of their
services in behalf of their country.
The above resolutions clearly announce the
political principles advocated by the candidate's
upon the people’s ticket. In order to show their
appreciation of the services of the soldiers,
they presented the name of Capt. Wilhelm for
the office of Treasurer; he, however, declined
to be u candidate, and the meeting is, therefore,
not responsible for not having a soldier upon
their ticket.
The war having terminated in the establish
ment of the authority of the Government over
the whole country, and the people of all the
States having acknowledged its supremacy and
returned to their allegiance, large linmbers of
tbe people no longer saw any necessity for keep
ing up old organizations, especially as there
seemed to be wide differences of opinion with
reference to certain questions which have arisen
since the termination of the war. A registry
law had been enacted during the last session of
the Legislature, under the operation of which
a vast number of the citizens of the State were
deprived of the right of suffrage; and as the
state of affairs which induced the enactment
of this law no longer existed, they determined
to initiate a movement looking to such a mod
ification cf the law as the present condition of
affairs, in their judgment, required.
They know that upon the verdicts of juries
depend the rights of property andthe libertiSs
and lives of their fellow-citizens, and they were
therefore anxious that the selection of jurors
should no longer be influenced by parfcfzan
prejudices and predilections, but that gentle
men should be selected for those important du--
ties solely with reference to their sobriety, in
telligence and honesty of purpose, so that all
whose rights may be adjudicated may feel as
sured that justice has been done; and they
think safely predict such a result,
should the present movement prove successful.
An Address has been published, purporting
to be authority of the Executive Committee
of the so-called Union Party of the county,cen-.
suriug this movement aud charging that it was
inaugurated by persons who had been disap
pointed in obtainiugnominations from the Con
vention which met in Towsontown in October.
Tliis charge is utterly unfounded, as it had been
determined, long before that convention met,
to pursue thecourse which resulted in bringing
forward the People’s Ticket. It wibuld be well
for the authors as well as the endorsers ef that
address to practice the morals upon which they
so eloquently descant, before theyagain attempt
to inculcate them upon the public.
The people of Baltimore county, who inaugu
rated this movement, have not been singular
in their action; they have done only what was
done in other parts of the State. In Harford
county a convention was called, which nomi
nated a ticket according to the usages of the
party, and claim, as our opponents do, to ho
the only true representatives of the Union par
ty. when a number of people, including Col.
Edwin H. Webster, an ex-member of Congress,
and at present,Collector of Customs in Balti
more city, not deeming the ticket thus nomina
ted a suitable one for sustaining the policy of tha
administration, or for some other reason, satis-:
factory to themselves, and exercising the riglt"
of free thought and action in political matters,
common to all, repudiated the nominated tick
et aud acquiesced in the presentation of anoth
er in opposition to it. Col. Win. 11. Purnell, the
Postmaster of Baltimore city, is already charg
ed, by some of the would-be-Union men, with
pursuing the same course in the lower counties
of the Eastern Shore. While gentlemen ot sqch
undoubted lo\alty and unionism are exercising
the right to advocate the election of a ticket in
opposition to a regularly nominated ticket* it is
somewhat presumptuous, as well as ridiculous,
in the authors of the address, to charge men if..
Baltimore county with a want of morals far
exercising the same right.
There is good reason to believe that the op
ponents of the people’s ticket are holding out
promises of the patronage of the National,
State and Local Governments to voters for the
purpose of securing their support at the com
ing election. It will be well for those whocan. '
be influenced by any such promisee, to consid
er whether the parties making them have the
power to fulfil them, especially as it is well
known that no such operation would be, for a
moment, tolerated by either the Slate or Na
tional administration, it being contrary’ to good
morals, of which the address of the executive?
committee so feelingly treats.
The men, who presented the people’s ticW|>
to the public, and the cardidates themsekygi'
have been always Union men, are in favorer
the reconstruction policy ot President Johnson,
and a modification of the registry law, and ire
opposed to negro suffrage and the central lo
tion of power in the General Government: and'
they claim, and will exercise, the right to ad- 1
vocate their own principles, to select sneh can
didates as they may think suitable for the per
spective offices, and to elect them too, without,
holding themselves in any way responsible to
the clique, which has so long controlled the nf
tairs of the county, and without being at all
startled by sermons upon good morals from its
executive committee,
