ger. Where then is our home market .
1t is vision of designing monnPollsts,
which, IN common sense, cannot be re-
aised in any great producing or manu-
featuring country. And if it could be,
Their direct poll tax would have TO be
assessed for the support of Government,
without producing any wealth to the ma
ticn or citizen. Commerce, among the
nations of the earth, is the only market
for their respective surplus products. -
The more a country sells abroad, the
more prosperous is she likely to be at
home. High Tariffs prevent general
trade and consumption. We do not all
produce the same articles which have en-
tered into our wants and necessaries. but
the civilized world. in a great degree
partakes of the production of the whole
by means of foreign commerce. The
creation of home market. to any con-
siderable extent, in the United States,
is in truth. words without meaning.

MARYLAND ELECTION.

1t is no use to disguise the fact that,
the Republican party has met with Sc
we're defeat in Maryland. Every Dis
trIct in which there was a contest ex-
ceptlng the 9Th has reason to accuse il
self of base ingratitude to Democratic
principles.
The I'd, our own District, has cause
Ter regret not only in beholding FEEDER
alism triumph by the most foul and
despicabie means ever used by a desper
ate party, but also in seeing the hereto
fore stern Democracy of Washington
County, yield to the snares--the duplici-
ty and intrigues of whiggery. But the
Democratic party over Mary land, appear
as IT they were asleep and not reused TO
their great and commanding interests.
The cause we are left to conjecture. 1t
is not because MIR. Clay is popular. Nor
are the people to be carried away BY
coon skin and hard cider orgies. 1t is
not that the people admire Federal meas
ures-a splendid government with its
Banl--lts National Debt-its large ex-
pendltyres and civil pensioners in the
shape of officers-its large and over
bearing monopolists. These have been
over and over again repudlated by the
people. The pure, uaadulterated and
genuine principles of Democracy must,
when understood, be victorious in CON
test of principle.
The people are too honest to suspect
IN others dishonesty. Federalism un-
der the assumed name of Whig-a name
once SO glorious in the days OF our sires,
when the blood Of '76 freely and profuse-
~ watered the tree Of Liberty and of
humane right, and by the use of which it
cannot depreciate or debase in the esti-
nation of any republican, is now decei-
wing and grossly abusing the people, hi
ding its deformities under that transeen-
dent name, or if discovered, shift the
responsibility by down right lying.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

AND A UNITED STATES BANK.
The federal newspapers are teemng
articles upon the subject of the late Uni
ted States Bank and the agency of the
Republican party in giving it charter,
in 1916. We are told that every Repub.
lcan member then in congress from this
state, voted for the bank, while their fe.
ceral colleagues voted against it to a
man: therefore, the bank was republ.
can and not federal measure. This
proves nothing. What was then tried
as an expejient, has been weighed
in the balance and found wanting If
portion of the republican members Of
congress voted for the bank of 1876
what then? Does it prove that the re-
publican party, to be consistent, ought
now to favor the re-es adjustment of that
institution, with the history of that insti-
tuition before their eyes-the manifestly
corruptlng.. influence it exercised oyer the
actions of congress, the sentiments Of tie
press engaged in its interest, ard the
whole body polite? Certainiy not. If
it proves anything, it is shat they were
in error. If we are not mistaken, the
republican and federal parties were e.
qualiy divided on the vote on the bill
chartering the bank in 1916. If this be
true, that vote did not make it strictly
party measure; but the case assumed
quite different aspect from about the
year 1850, or perhaps before. The re-
publican party went against the bank in
toto. And the elevation Of Gen. Jack
son to the presidency, and his triumph
ant re election, after the removal of the
deposites, drew the grand dividing line
between the federal and republican par
ties. The latter repudiated the bank; the
former espoused ii.
But if the bank be- republican mea-
sure, then was Mr.. Clay .tederahst IN
1911. when he opposed the bank SO ably,
in a speech in which he declared that
con gress had no constitutional power to
charter bank, and that it would be in.
expedlent and dangerous to do SO. But
was Mr.. Clay lederalist then? Verify
no: he was republican,, aud became a
federalist when he joined himself to that
party, and when the republican party
opposed the bank.

Circulate the Documents !"
A FAIR PROPOSITION

The time is near at hand, when the
freemen Of our country will be called
upon 10 elect a President. Two partie:
divide the people-each has its candi-
date for the presidency. The federal
whig party support the claims of Henry
Clay, whose principles ard measures
have been so often and so unqualifiedly
denounced by the people. But another
desperate struggle is to be made to re-
instate the federal party, and bring "a
gain into existence the obnoxious mea-
sures OF that party. No stone will be
left unturned, no strategem unemployed,
to accomplish their purposes. And shall
the Democratic Republican party be in
active and less yigilant in supporting
the glorious and time -honored doctrines
that distinguish it from the federal party !:
In view of the relation which we sus-
tain to the good cause, we propose to
furnish the SENTINEL to the citizens
Of this and the adjoining counties, for the
space of SEVEN MONTHS, commen-
mencing the I'd Of May neat, for the sum
of ONE DOLLAR, IN ADVANCE.
We nave an abundant supply of docu-
ments on hand, which will be spread be-
fore our readers at the proper time-and
we have an exchange with Republican
and Wing papers, which will enable us
to lay before our readers the movements
upon the political chess-board, through
out the country. We expect also TO have
the aid of the pens of some CT our citi-
zens, in disseminating the proper infor-
nation among the people.
We call upon the Republicans of the
Tenth Legion to assist US in 'eircula-
ting the Documents.' Send on your
names Immediately, accompanied with
the 'needful,' SO that we can make ar
ransements for purchasing a requisite
quantity of paper, ink, &C., to enable US
to 60 dhead,' in real CRocKkT fashion.
We say to our friends, Give US "a long
pail, a strong pull, and a pull altogether
and we promise you that we will not be
found idle in the day of battle.
Any postmaster, or other person, who
will furnish us Twelve subscribers, ac-
companied with the money, shall receive
a copy gratis. Those who are now sub
scrlbers, who shall pay up all arrearages,
will receive the paper upon the same
terms with new subscribers.
Those who prefer it. can receive the
paper Thirteen Months, from the above
date, for Two DOLLARS, In advance.
This will comprise an interesting peri
cd, as it will embrace the proceedings of
the first Congress Of the new administra.
ton.

Fatal Duel.--A duel was fought on
the 10th inst. at Bladensburg, near the
city OF Washington, between two young
men, Julian May and Joseph Cochran.
The weapons were rifles. Cochran re-
ceived the ball Of his antagonist in the
head, which soon after caused his death.
A trivial understanding had previously
existed between them, and had been am
icably adjusted by verbal retraction
on the part of Cochran. But May was
persuaded by man from the south, by
the Eame of Pooler. to demand a written
retraction, which the former refused to
give. A challenge ensued.
