ITO THE "INDEPENDENT VOTERS OJC OU.AO. I. . An era lias transpired in the political affairs State ami Nation fraught with direful sh4 nou>o*toiM interest to every eitisen. A Radical majority in Congress are eaieavsriug to break up the Union of these States •which has oost so much blood and i treasure to preserve. What a powerful arsocd foe could not accomplish, they are trying to effect by the more cow ardly means of mischievous unconstitution al legislation, and by forced amendments to the Constitution, which, if ever adopted, must lead to disruption, or to a worse al ternative, that <Sf complete despotism of one section of ■the Union over another. By one of these amendments negro equality is to be fastened upon the people | of the Southern States, or else their repre [ scntation in Congress (when once imthori ! zed) to be rednaad to a mere oipher, as well as their status in the electoral college —which, if either alternative is accepted, must forever give the arrogant Abolition party of the North an overwhelming pre [ dominance in the Federal government— and thereby, one section forever made sub servient to the other,' and occupying an irrelevant aad dependent position, instead of free and' independent sovereign States. Of course as an amendment to the Con-; stitution it will not heeonfiued to the States lately in'tcbfeltlotf,' but must include all the .States} but the States North having but a meagre negro population, it will effect! them but little, if at all, which evidently j goes to Aav that it is intended as a meas ure of discrimination against the late slave holding States of the Union. In that lo •ality a large portion of the population be loiigfTto the negro race—and consequently if universal stiffragc be onec granted—with the aid of the Freed nu)is Bureau and bay onets; and the Civil J I ig/its Bill at their back—tblt race will be able to control the elections, and thus prove, as they are in tended to be, the pliant tools of tire Radi cals—thus presenting to the civilized world tlie anomajous and .humiliating aspect in the SouthAf negroes holding all the lo cal offices and sending negroes toCongress to legislate upon • matters in which the whole petJplo are interested—and always to vote in the way that such wen as Thad. Stevens, Sumner & Co., shall d*tate.— This being the programme, it will bo ne cessary for the white people of the South to bow iu abject submission to their colored lordlings, who of course will administer af fairs according to the vindictive decrees that shall constantly cmnuatc from the fountain of all power as claimed already to be invested iu the above named leaders and their party, or else they must resort to that only other alternative left, that of forcible resistance, which must end iu the total ex termination of one or other of the conflict-' ing races. Now the question is, men of Maryland, which side will wc espouse, that of the in telligent white citizens or that of untutored negroes. And, moreover, let it not be forgotten that Maryland will come iu for her full share of this delectable condition of affairs, for she caunot escape—to the contrary iiotwfthsiumling, the assumption of the Radicals" that no such issue is pre sented in Mary land. Maryland has a large colored population which she must cither allow to vute at her elections, or swallow the bitter pill of losing two fifths of her rep resentation in Congress and the electoral College. If she accepts the alternative of negro suffrage then in a great measure the same state of things is forced upon thc*pco ple of this State, as is intended to be ear earried out iu the reeoustruetiou policy of the Radicals in Congress coneeruing our sister states of the South. Then we say men of Maryland, be notj "deoeWed. I f yd* honestly oppose negro I suffrage in our midst, it cannot be done by resolving' that y<su are opposed to negro suffrage and at the same time approving of the Radical policy of the Disuuionists iu Congress, which is committed to that one all absorbing idea; and for the accomplish ment and carrying out of which, a six months session of Congress has already been devoted; and that too, in the face of the repealed atfmouitiou of the President . .of the United States, who, by standing on the didcof the people and the Constitution, has made himself the enefny of that party in and out Congress. This action upou the part of that party .clearly shows where •' 'jdi^etandt—aad their determination either t6 blot out of national existenoe the States of the South, or to thrust upon them the foul stigma of negro equality at all haz " 'ards. T'o prevent, if possible, then, the consu iwataon of the diabolical and pet schemes of ' 'the disorganize rs in Congress—organ iza r- jtions Lave been formed all over the coun ty. for the purpose of opposing all the uu> x . constitutional and tyrannical measures of . intolerant faction—and to sustain • the oourse of President Johnson in his no ble efforts to restore the .unity of the States and the supremacy .of the Federal govern ment under the Constitution, as instituted .and intended by Washington, Jefferson V/. rud their illustrious compeers, Maryland 1, . has also arisen from her lethargy and slavish submission, and in every city,town and hamlet, Clubs have been formed for this -purpose calling upon every citizen bar ri'irinfc the good of hit country at heart to bv - eqme forward and enroll bis uniuo, thus committing himself as to where he is re aojycd to stand in this struggle for our constitutional rights, and the perpetuation of the Federal Constitution as it now stands —minus the "patchwork" 1 of the Radicals which if carried out, must end in utter subversion of the great ends for which our government was established. Local affairs, in our own State also re quire our united and determined action. A vast majority of the independent voters and tax-payers of this State are now dis franchised by the working of ma infamous and unconstitutional measure, in the shape of a registry law, passed under the pro-' tection of bayonets, and through the iutiiu-; idation inspired by the unjust and discri- ' minuting edicts of martial law. The gfor-! ious principle of "No taxation without j Representation," which caused the Ameri can and which culminated iu the independence of the United States and which has been held sacred during our national existence—has been utterly iguor ed by the dominant parly in the State and that party are now exerting every means, honorable or dishonorable, to con tinue this abomination upon our Statute books—and for the sole purnose of perpet uating their own powers, and keeping themselves in office, iu order that they may fatten upon the people's means aud squander it as they see fit, aud that with impunity. Now Fellow Citizens: An organization, similar to those referred to above has been formed in Williauisport, styled the 'Men son Club of Bis. No. 2, having for its object the unqualified support of President John son aud the measures and policy of his ad ministration considered essential to the constitutional reconstruction of the States as indicated in his messages and speeches; and opposed to negro suffrrgc iu any shape it may be presented;—also, the repeal or modification of the registry law of this State, so that every white male citizen en titled to the right of suffrage shall not be intimidated or obstructed in the exercise , thereof—and as the officers and Kxecctivk j Committer of this organization, aud au thorized by it so to do, we extended to you the privilege to assimilate yourselves with us iu this great work of redemption, a duty we all oweto our country, our State and to ourselves. We hope before the ensuing campaign shall have far advanced to be able to iu cludc every citizen entitled to a vote with in the District. Wc are uot confined to any party—we inquire not as to men's for mer proclivities and antecedents—but cor dially invite all, having at heart the good of their Country and State, and approve of the principles herein advocated, to unite with us. The day has eouie when con cert of action is essentially necessary—aud it becomes a duty as well as a privilege, for all to eombiue for the general welfare. J. V. L. KNSMINGKR. 1 l'rcs't. of Club VICTOR CUSHWA, ; Ch'u Fxocutivo Cum. A Political General's Soliloquy. Whir-r-r! How like a rocket I went up, terrifying the innocent. Sjnit! Ilow like a stick falling iu the mud did I come down! When the late rebellion began, I did not amount to enough to add up aud give one to carry. I was a sort of second rate loafer, begging tobacco, standing arouud saloons and bar rooms, waiting to be trea ted by liberal strangers. I Lad no clean stockings—no neat home—no money saved —no credit—no fine food, but little coarse. "Rut suddenly a star arose Brave men were wanted. I had peddled whiskey at the polls to elect men on the God-and-mor tality, retrenchment and reform ticket—l could tell a Ligggcr lie and stick to it clo ser than any hungry politician in the coun try, and the late administration—gave me rich reward. I was . made a captain, and like a blue-tailed bottle-fly, 1 strutted about my native home. (?uess I wasn't old style, in white gloves and stripes up my legs. Guess 1 didn't support the Government, lleekon I didn't get trusted to little things at stores, aud when a man wouldn't trust me, guess 1 wouldn't incite mobs on such Copperheads. And I was put in command of a hundred men.—Egad! that was a joke. Why, Lord bless you, I didu't know as much about war as a dog knows of bis great grandfather—but I bad political influence —could absorb vast quantities of whiskey dnd could steal like a nigger ! Or dike John Brown. Or like Ben. Butler. Or like any other house robber. And I went to war. And I hired cor respondents to mention my brave ex ploits in Republican papers. Aud I stole wines frpm the hospitals, and treated my friends. And I read the army letters which poor fools printed to political friends. And I kept out of the way of bullets aud such—and I stole piles of household goods, froin rat traps to pianos, from silk clas tic to linen intended for infants yet un born and so in the eyes of the late admin istration proved my fitness for higher posi tion. And I was made brigadier-general. Big thing. Nearly every fool in the army was a brigadier-general. Wbilo brave men fought, I stole spooas and such. While other men were at war, I was pun ishing Democrats, issuing petty orders, "-taking toll" from Union farmers, and i sending chairs, tables, beds, bedding, pictures, books, spoous, knives aud forks, nut crackers, gloss aud silver ware, mir rors, side-boards, parlor ornaments, laces, silks and ladies' underclothes stolen from private drawers, trunks, and bureaus, up North at government expense, to let peo ple know that 1 was saving my salary to beautify my home. Cunning eussi Andy I denounced the Democrats,thereby winning promotion and good opiuions from Republican papers. And I spent my sala ry for whiskey, except what went for , nothing now, not much at first! And I went on raids capturing imaginary bands of cuuinies, reported by the papers as real. And being an unscrupulous knave, intent ouly on money, I was hired by the admin istration of the late lamented to go up aud down the land stumping for and in behalf of niggers aud Abolitionists— par Mobile fratmm And I sent Democrats to the front, and they were shot dowu like dogs or dragged back wounded to die in the hospitals, or swear allegiance to Abraham. And I stuffed election returns, and 1 stole cotton wherever it could be found, mules ditto, corn ditto, government stores ditto, and other things ditto, till I became rich.— And what a lot men there were who believ ed we were fighting to subdue the rebellion. 'Twas merely a plea*nut little murderous crusade for eottoti and niggers—the cotton for the rich, the uiggers for the poor tax-payers to support. The war was a Godsend to me. It took me from the gutter, or a stool in some sa loon, aud made a great man of me.— It lifted me by the waistbands right up alongside of great men. And didn't [ strut? Aud didn't I fall hack up on my dignity? And didn't I suub those whose servant 1 was—and win the con tempt of every sensible man in the land.— And didn't nigger wenches fall in love with tne.and didn't I keep abandoned women at headquarters on money I stole front my bleeding country. To be sure I did.— That was the acute of 4 'loyalty." That was known as Lincoln patriotism. That style was the style that paid. That style made me popular with the Abolitionists at home. And didn't I drive southern roosters front watching the nest, and didn't Igo into that business for theui? And didu't Igo into the patent bleaching business on joint accouut, half for myself and half for the government? There were some good men in the army --some fine officers—sonte gentlemanly, patriotic officers,but they were in hard luck, and took lower seats. And didn't I get promoted for being caught out nights, roaming over the eouutry—poaching on some nigger or white man's domain, in be half of my government. And wasn't I sorry when we had stolen the South poor, uud were obliged to close the war? The occupation of Othello was goue. I returned home. People did m t make speeches and welcome me back as they did when I left. I strutted around witli my blue tailed plumage till it looked sluin py, and the people began to take in clothes from the liucs in my neighborhood, when it became known that I was a politicalgen eral, whose best bolt was stealiug and en dorsing Abolitionism. No one cares "for me now. A good hunting dog is more petted. A buck nigger is of more account in the eyes of Congress aud the people.— People whisper strange tilings about that Stonewall Jackson song of "Whose pin here?" etc. lam not half so popular as I was when iu the army. In fact, 1 believe lam about played out. Why can't we have another war? Lots of fellows have coiuo out of State prisons since the war ended,and there is plenty material for more of these political army officers, who could draw beer better than blood. Nevermind —l'll put the moucy I btole in government bonds—there is no tax to pay on them— I'll sit around and draw my iutcrest on them—live in idleness and be supported by the poor fools who have no bonds, but who pay taxes while I do not, ntid who pay me for being a thief and living in idleness. Vou see I am one of the supporters of this government. I can put my tuoney in|bonds —somebody pays the taxes of the eouutry, and pays uie interest, but it it nut tit bond holders. Oh dear! Suppose the people should repudiate these bouda, as they pure ly will if they are not taxed— what will be come of met I'll have to work the same as other men, or go to the poor honse with liberated niggers, for tax payiny white men to support.
