CARROLL REPRESENTATION.

We have this week, by the request of Mr.
Washington announced him as candidate 10
represent the good. and we hope honest cti-
zens of this county. Whether this gentleman
is in favor OF Estate faith" and the payment
of the Union Bank bonds sold upon the cred
it, honor. faith and integrity of her citizens, is
a matter of which we are not advisedlv at
leave to speak. However, as there are two
candidates. Messrs. Ayres and Murray, out in
favor of The payment of those bonds, we have
just and good reason TO suppose Mr.. W., and
set him down as one willing and ready to do
battle under that "black pira,ical flag" with
State dishonor inscribed upon its folds. If this
be not the fact why come out against the pre-
sent nomnees-why not consult the party for
the welfare of the State,-policy would have
dictated such course. This gentleman will
find his opponents with pulse beating high and
eager for the contest, bearing the banner of
State with "death before dishonor" waiting
with its folds. Not within our acquaintance
have we heard an individual express himself
against the payment of the bonds in toto
All are advocating the doctrines of an honest
people, and none but aspirants can be found
differing with the mass of the community
the sturdy yeoman, the mechanic, lawyer and
physician and all who are informed upon the
subject and are not entirely ignorant, have
slept boldly forward and enlisted Under the
banner of the HONEST and proclaimed aloud:
estate honor, State faith and State honesty"
and sworn to support none but those who are
orthodox upon that exciting topic-@z
There is no medium ground upon which to
stand. You must either be Bond or santi-
bond,' the advocates of the former contendng
that the State is both legally and morally
bound for the redemption of those bonds, no
matter if they were sold under the control of
loco-foco Legislature, Uhe very party now
in favor of arepudiation.) The ant-bondites
contend that it is the undisputed right of an
individual, corporation or State to suindle
whenever an opportunity is offered of stick
ling with the constitution. In other words
they call it "constitutiona4ly sDinding," that
is, by the spirit and letter of the constitution
they he~o gruuted right 10 do so. Ask one
of those ninny heads who have declared them
selves in favor of State faith, and then the re-
verse when in crowd of 'anties,' and all they
can say is 81 go in for the Constitution" thus
evadlng the true issue which divide the par
ties Shame. to such scape-goats.
We heartily wish Mr.. w. success in every
other undertaking but the present-and we
feel sorry that he has permitted his name to
be used in connection with gross humbug 10
carry the fall elections. But true it is. and
if we could say any thing in extenuation that
would be available to himself or posteritv, il
would give us pleasure to do So But believ-
ing it would be of little use, we exhort
him in candor and friendship to prepare for a
severe political drubbing on the first Monday
in November next. ..The tree is known by
its fruit"
