PRESENTMENT OF THE RECUSANT ELECTORS.

The Cumberland Civilian Extra of Wednesday last, contains a presentment, by the Grand Jury of Allegany County of the eighteen recusant Electors, which will be found in another part of this day's Patriot. What gives additional force to this verdict of the people, is the fact, that a majority of the members of the Grand Jury are known and acknowledged to belong to the same political party with these recusant electors, whose conduct in refusing to discharge the duty for which they were chosen, they denounce as inimical to the "public peace." It is a voice potential, from the body of the county of Allegany in utter reprobation of the revolutionary course pursued by these "unfaithful public agents," which must be heard, and we trust will not be without its salutary effects. Surely the "Agitators" must see by this time that the people of Maryland are not yet ripe for "Revolution," and that therefore even the anarchists can hope nothing from a farther prosecution of, or longer persistence in, the revolutionary movement of the "eighteen."

The recusant conduct of these has been condemned by men of all parties, and is now presented by a grand jury embracing a majority of their own political faith. If they will not turn a deaf ear to all the signs of the times, and to all the instructive commands of the people, their constituents, let them retrace their ill advised error, and return to the discharge of their duty, like good citizens.
