SATURDAY, - ---*JAN. 6TH,lBee/E. F. CHURCH, )H. C. LONGNECKER, l Editors.J. B. LONGNECKER,)

To the Readers of the UNION.By one of those strange mutations which

sometimes occur in business, the undersigned,from this date, severs his connection with'theUnion. Mr. E. F. Church, so well-known andso highly respected, has purchased our interest,and resumes his old position before the peopleof the county, while we seek a field of laborelsewhere.

Five years ago we came to this neighborhoodin the humble capacity of a School Teacher.—Subsequently we spent a time imtheactive ser-viije.of our country. On the first of January,1861, we united with Mr. Church in the publi-cation of the Baltimore County Advocate, andlor the past year have labored in connectionwith the Messrs. Longneckers in issuing the■Union. In the Capacity of Editor we laboredfaithfully and honestly for the success of thoseprinciples which-to-day make Maryland a freeState and our. country a great and gloriousOnion. To the extent of our humble ability,ft has been our aim to serve the people of Bal-timore couuty by advocating such meausres as

{ we beljcved for their best interests. We havereceived many evidences of their approbation

' anti good-will, without distinction ol .party orsoot. We cannot but be grateful for their uni-

- -lnrmexpressionsof kindness, the remembranceof their 'hospitality; the associations formed

Tftfu friendships contracted, will linger in tncm-/ iijy while reason shall maintain her sway.

It is with many regrets that wc write theselinos. Vve long since learned to call Towson-M'vii “ our home," and it is only at this mo-ment that we know how strong are the ties thathind U 3 to the spot. We search our heart inVain for an unkind feeling toward any one.—Several whom we once looked upon as friends,misled" by prejudice or deceived by false rep-resentations, have ceased their kindly greet-ings as we meet them in the daily vocatioiys oflife. Wc bear them no ill-will lor the injusticethey do us, and leave it to time and their betterjudgment lor correction.

When we first came to Baltimore county thetempest of war was gathering in the hcSrtson.

x We saw it burst forth on the racniorabJie lOthOf April, 1861 • Two years ago, when our firsteditorial came fo your firesides, the storm wasraging in all its fury. Doubt and gloom, lam-entation and woe, pervaded, the land. ThankGod, that in our last Editorialwe may congrat-ulate you on a restored Union, an emancipatedState, a prosperous county, wealth, intelligenceand happiness on the increase, with every in-dication of a bright and successful future be-fore you. And in thu3 taking leave of thosewith whom we have held pleasant converse forthe past two years, we beg that all will acceptour best wishes for their individual and socialwelfare.

L. M. HAVERSTICK.Towsontown, Jan. Ist, 1806.

To the Patrons of the “ Union/*Once more 1 appear before the citizens of Bal-

more County as a newspaper publisher. After anabsence of one year from the business, I enterthe field as joint proprietor, publisher and editor,of the Baltimore County Union.

In February, 1850, nearly sixteen years ago,as is known to many of present readers ofthe paper, I commenced the publication of theBaltimore County Advocate, the first paper printedin the county, which I continued until January1864. Up to 18G1, the paper had professed neu-trality, but when the Avar against the life of theNation was commenced, no man or paper couldbe neutral. On January Ist 1864, Capt. L. M.IJa7erstick became joint partner with me in the

-rAdvocate, and it was conducted as a staunch sup-porter of the Administration of the lamentedLincoln, and of the measures of his Administra-tion. Owing to the fact that there were thentwo papers in the county advocating the sameprinciples, the AAdvocate and American, it wasthought advisable to unite them; I retired, andthe result of the combination was The Union,under the proprietorship of llaver3tick k Long-neckers.

I have now purchased Mr. Haverstick’s "mtijr-*est in the paper, and from this time it will be

/ ’ published by myself and the Messrs. Longneckers.On re-entering the newspaper arena, I have

few promises to make. lam pretty well knownin the county. It will be admitted that for fifteeny,ears I published a readable paper. Though itmight have lacked editorial talent, it was a wel-come weekly visitor intorfiany families. It willbe my constant desire in the future to serve thepublic faithfully and honestly.

It will be the aim of the paper to deserve andmaintain the confidence and support of the loyalpeople of the county. It will support the princi-ples of Right, Justice and Nationality, whichhave carried the country through thelate terriblestruggle against Rebellion. It will stand by ourPresident in his patriotic efforts to re-constructthe Union in such a raannerthat it will be per-petual, and that henceforth and forever we willbe a homogeneous Nation.

In our efforts to continue the Union as anceptable and reliable paper, the new firm resp<fully asks and hopes to receive a continuationthe liberal patronage heretofore bestowed upoi

His decided abilityan orator and a keen, vigorous thinker, toge’with his well-known independence anQ feariness of expression, made him a leading mai

every position which he assumed. He wasearnest advocate of emancipation, and perlno man did more to prepare the public minthis state for its adoption. 'His radical viewshis bold assertion of them made him many,ter enemies. But his fidelity to principle no onecould question.

Our President.Before the adjournment of“Congress for the

Holiday season, President Johnson submitted tothe Senate, in answer to a resolution of inquiryfrom that body, a message giving an exhibit ofthe general social, political and industrial condi-tion of the seceded States. In that message hegave a very hopeful statement of the South, theprogress of reconstruction, the evidences of re-turning loyalty, a desire to restore the damagesof war, a disposition to submit to the laws, theimproving condition of the freedmen, &c. Mr.Sumner from Mass, with characteristic rashnessaud ill-humor, spoke of the message as “a white-washing affair, similar to the messages of Presi-dents Pierce and Buchanan.”

It was saying in so many words, that the Pres-ident, the Chief Magistrate of th^nation, theman who above all others is known for his hon-esty and uprightness, was practicing a deceitupon Congress and the people, that he wa3

making statements which he knew to be false.—The remark is a fair exhibit of the spirit of thatradical element in Congress, headed by Sumnerin the Senate and Stevens of Pennsylvania in theHouse, which presumes every man a scoundrel,who fails to see things in the light of their ownimmaculate vision. They do not concede truepatriotism, wise statesmanship or public honestyto any man who hesitates to give au unquestion-ing support to their measures. Among thesemeasures are, a determination to maintain su-preme military authority over tfie late secededStates ; to treat them as “conquered territories,”not as restored States ; to force negro suffrageupon them, in violation of the Constitution ; toenact a sweeping confiscation act, and divide tholand among the freedmen, with others of asimil-ar reckless character.

The President on the other hand bolds thatthe time has come when civil government maywith safety be restored in thc.Sontli ; that negrosnffrage should come from the States, not fromthe general government; that a general confis-cation would be inexpedient and highly injuriousto the interests of the country. The great mqssof the Republican party and of the entire peopleagree with the President in these views. Thereis a universal anxiety to have a speedy reorgani-zation of the South ; to make its labor and capi-tal productive ; to develop its resources ; toidentify its interests with our own ; to restoreharmony and good feeling throughout the entireland. This the President has beco houestly andfaithfully striving to accomplish. He has given.every assurance of fidelity to the principles uponwhich he was elected. In his annual message hehas asserted the supremacy of the Federal gov-ernment ; the perpetuity of tire Union ; the uni-versal Emancipation ofslaver)’ ; a determinationto protect the freedmen in their rights, - and anearnest desire to restore the entire natioy to astate of profound tranquility and peace/ Whatmore can we ask of him ? He has won tfteiieartsof the people by his straight forward honesty andfirmness. They will stand by him in everyemergency. And it is the height of folly andpresumption for a miserable minority in Con-gress to attempt to force their radical views uponthat body, or hope to gain much favor with thepeople.

It gives us pleasure 1o say that the leadingmembers and newspapers of 1the Union party dis-card these ultra sentiments. And we commendto the attention of our readers, the following ex-tract from a late No. of The Nation, one of thebest news and political weeklies in the land. •

“There is certainly nothing in Mr. Johnson'santecedents to justify anything so unseemly asMr. Sumner’s outburst—for unseemly it was.—If there be anything for which the President hasacqfuire an honorable reputation, it is for bistruthfulness. He owes almost all the bold hehas upon public esteem to the singular frankne.-sand candor with which he has been in the habitof speaking his mind. And what gives thisvirtue of his a new luster is, that he has distin-guished himself in almost as great a degree asMr. Sumner himself by speaking his mind beforehostile audiences. His career ever since 1860has certainly not been that of,a popularity-bun-ter. lie said disagreeable things, and nothingbut disagreeable things, in tbesenatein I860; leda life in Tennessee which no man wpuld thinkof leading to whom the expression of his honestconvictions was not dearer than all else in life.The idea of a Southern hypocrite playing the loy-alist in/Tennessee dnring the first two years ofthe war is simply ridiculous. And Mr. Johnson'ssincerity and truthfulness since his accession tothe presidency have been fully as remarkable asbefore. There have been several things in hispolicy towards theSouth open, in our opinion, toexception, but not for any waut of good faijhrevealed in them. In so far as we have takenthe liberty of finding fault, it has not been fordeceiving but for being too readily deceived ; nojfor moral but for mental obliquity ; not for lov-ing crooked ways, but for sometimes, throughwhat we consider want of preceptiou getting offthe right track. When Mr. Sumner rises in hisplace in the Senate, therefore, to accuse him ofdeceit, he is guilty of something worse than in-decorum.”

Governor Bradford.We commend the following remarks of the

Frederick Examiner to the attention ol our Read-ers, and especially to members of the Legislature.Gov. Bradford lost his fine residence because hewas Governor of Maryland. Had He been a pri-vate citizen, bis property would have been assafe as any other person’s. He conducted theStale through the perilous season of his adminis-tration with singular ability and fidelity. Hewill soon return to his once pleasant home, tofiud bis dwelling and all its valuable contentsreduced to ashes—the work of vandalism.On theprinciples ofsimple justice, the State shouldreimburse the los3 which he sustained throughfidelity to her interests. The circumstances at-tending the destruction were aggravating in theextreme. Tho family were aroused from theirslumbers by the heartless incendiaries, and whilethey were putting on the necessary clothing, thetorch was applied to the lower part of the dwell-ing. The collected treasures of a life-time wereconsumed. Little was saved.

At the last session of the General Assembly.-ofthis State, a bill was introduced to remunerateGovernor Bradford for the destruction of bisproperty by the Rebels in July 1&64. It wasde-feated by tacking to it amendments so as to in-clude others who bad suffered from Rebel spoli-ations quite ns largely, it was said, as the Gov-ernor. To have passed this bill as amended,would have caused a serious, if not a ruinouspressure upon the State Treasury, heucc it fellthrough.

When the proposition**) indemnify him wasunder consideration last winter, our Legislatorswere warmly sustained bv the people in votingagainst it, buf since then'the subject has receiveddue reflection, and the propriety and justness ofthe claim are readily admitted. The question isnot one of dollars and cents merely; it is oneinvolving the principle ofright and justice to afaithful and honored public servent.

And why should not Governor Bradford becompensated for losses inflicted by Rebel vandal-ism ? To say that there are other loyal menthroughout the State who have suffered to nsgreat and even greater extent than he, but forwhom no relief has been provided, does notmeet the principle involved. Had he not beenGovernor, it is quite certain be would not badbis property destroyed. It was the voice of thepeople that called him to a position which ex-posed him to Rebel resentment, nod invited theincendiary, and it remains with ihem to saywhether he shall be indemnified. He stood un-flinchingly at his post and by the people in thedark hour of danger and dispuir; it is now withthe people, whom he served regardless of pecu-niary sacrifices, to determine whether they willstand by him. Who of us would accept theGovernorship of Maryland, knowing beforehandthat its'acceptance would entail a los* to theamount of thirty or forty thousand dollars ?

Very few, we imagine. Then, ifwe would nothave it at such a cost, is it right to compel Cov-er nor Bradford to bear-the loss that is entirelythe result of his occupying a position from whichthe most of men would have shrunk ?

It was argued, we*believe, by the opponentsof the bill that the case of Isbmnel Day, of Balti-more county, presented claims equally as strongas those of Governor Bradford. This is true inone sense, but there is this difference. Theformer lpst bis property for resisting Rebel,en-croachments, the luirer for executing a trnst im-posed upon him by the people. Mr. Day sub-jected himself to loss by braving the hungrymarauders encompassing bun. Gov. Bradfordby bis fidelity to the cause he was elected to sub-serve. Therefore, the argument that bars theone, cannot, in justice, be applied to the other.

Poems and Ballads ry A. P. McCombs.t-Through the kindness of the author, we have re-ceived a copy ofthe above neat little volume.—As its title indicates, it i 3 made up of short po-ems on various subjects, written in a pleasantand unassuming style, many of which bearmarks of decided poetical merit.

Mr. McCombs .was formerly of Harford Co. but

is at present Superintendent of the Ashland Fur-nace, near Coekeysvilfe-. He has compiled thislittle volume during shreds of time left him amidan active business. We congratulate hitn on thesuccess of his literary effort. The book is print-ed by John W. Woods, Baltimore, and is a veryfair specimen of typographic execution.

Coroners Inquest.—Justice Charles R. Mace of. the 12th District, on the 26th ult., held an in-

quest on the body, or rather the skeleton, of anunknown man, found lying in a thicket near thetwelve mile House, on the Phil., Wilmington andBalto. Railroad. The body was dressed in a fullsuit of soldier’s clothing and is supposed to havebeen one of the two deserters, shot by a Govern-ment detective they were in the act ofleaping from the cars, about the first of last June.There was nothing found on his person by whichbis Regiment could be indenlifled or the State towhich he belonged. The jurv rendered a ver-

.dict, that be came to bis death from causes un-knowrf.

A Relic of Olden Time.—Mr. Israel Price ofof the Bth Distritct, banded us the following in-teresting item taken from the Federal Gazette olJuly 12th, 1800.

She had eightbrothers and fourteen sisters, all of whoni madegood use of their time, so that the old lady was*aunt to several hundred people.

Burglaries in the Sobcjrds.—Within the Instfew nights quite a number of residences near thecity, on the northwestern side, having been en-tered aud robbed. Galloway Cheston, JamesJackson, Mrs. Collins and others on the Liberty-road within a few miles of town, have been theprincipal sufferers. An attempt was made onthe residence of Hamilton Easter, but the rob-bers failed to effect an entrance. Persons driv-ing along the Liberty road have been fired atat night, and to such a degree has this state ofaffairs reached that the gentlemen of that vicini-ty are seriously contemplating the .organizationof a night patrol.

Sportsmen Take Notice.—Sportsmen shouldtake notice of the State law of Maryland in rela-tion to the privileges of shooting of partridges,quails, woodcock and pheasants, which imposesa penalty for the shooting of such game on andafter the first day of January’. The object ofthe law is good, especially as it tends to the prop-agation of-euch favorite birds, aud thereforeshould be faithfully observed.

Bcrglary.—Oh the night of the 28th ult. Mr.Eliliu Cuddy, living near Monkton, bad hisslaughter house broken open and a quarter ofbeef with a lot of tallow stolen therefrom. Mr.Cuddy tracked the thieves for some distance, butthe ground was frozen too hard to continue thepursuit. Mr Cuddy has procured the services ofa full-bred butcher’s dog, should a similar at-tempt be made on his premises.

Revenue Stamps.—A few days.s since, a mort-gage from the Northern Central Railroad Compa-ny to Philip A. Small and others, trustees, wasleft in the office of John 11.
