Endorsement of Andrew Johnson
Summary
An "attempted" County Meeting of the "rebel party" took place and various resolutions were proposed and passed. One resolution was to support Andrew Johnson's policy. To explain that policy, the Herald and Torch Light extracts material from the New York Post. Johnson has recently offered an important position to several Negroes and therefore set an example for the country. The article then discusses the political power which the new state constitution gives to Negroes and contrasts that with the power of white voters in the western Maryland counties.
