erous and noble enthusiasm for the public virtue and

towards mat class IN whom have recognised the
Jealous and interchangeable opponents of the political Or
ganzaton and great measures which mark the present
administration OF national affairs, entertain very diff

ungushed the struggle that constituted the last contest
TOR the presidency, have only review the two ses-
slons OF the Congress which shared the administration
ma an organized party in the halls of Congress- known
as the rtg pdr-we find this party in resoute opposi-
on 10 any modification of the tariff of 1912, or any
Legislation IN regard the currency and public treasure
winch contemplated dUorCe Of The government from the
banks.
General distress commercial embarrassment panic and
rum, were proclaimed the certain results of such
measures. The most distinguished statesmen of this
party proclaimed these consequences sure to follow
with the practical mischief OF bankrupt treasury and
shattered credit Now the tariff of 1916 stands on our
statute book The iaw Of Tie idHd-a radical modification OF

growing and prosperous system of domestic manufactur-

scented to the eye OF the patriot statesman 1t would be
expected OF san earnest faithful and true whg" to alter
and reverse this glowing view of domestic policy
Who dare answer to the people of Maryland that Gen
Taylor would advise or sanction connexion be-
tween banks and the national treasury the enact
ment OF the protective and prOhibory tariff of 1872 re-
pealei by the democratic party and this resofaton too
to occur at the moment when all Europe is embracing the
liberal commercial principles OF the age, and opening her
ports to the products of our blessed and abundant country
But again find this party estraDged from all
that naturally identifies itself with the immediate care,

II denounced our own government at the very first
approach OF foreign war; and at the very our ar
mes were struggling with matChless courage and skill
upon our western frontier already invaded by greatly
penor numbers From that hour the present. ncessant
denunciaon and bitter reproaches have been spread by
them over the wide world against our government
and the prosecution OF the brilliant and glorious
successes have responded to their foebodngs and ea
SOM and they stand rebuked and overwhelmed by the
results OF the military, as OF the civil administration of
the country Thus dscTeded in their Judgment and sa
gacy statesmen broken, and without the confidence
and respect OF the masses of counymen, not
surprised TO witness their dissolution distinct pol-
cal party. This dissolution consists in their headong
abandonment OF all the public to whom, heretofore
they have or would have looked to as opponents of
their political principles. 1t is not OF this dissolution that
we complan-we rather rejoice in the event. and hope
from il undisturbed adherence TO the used and es
ablshed policy OF the country, under the auspices of
which we look for new and increased developments of
our agriculture and manufacturing and indus
try What we complain of is the hot haste with which
beaten and discounted party would attempt TO appopri
ate the fame and popularity OF General Taylor at the
moment he is leading armies to glory and victory
constituted these armies are, of every class and
every shade OF opinion entertained by our counrymen.
Such an ASSOCIATION is Impossible that General Taylor
VIII ever embrace. His JeaOpn is broader and
deeper than such political organization, seeking
ISOLATION with it.
With these reflections intended as they are to pro-
clam and exu in the truth and ascendency Of those
principles which have directed the policy of the demo
cratic party in the administration of the federal govern
meni, we would for moment direct the attention of the
success of the democratic party within the limits Of our
own State. Those financial embaTassments which, for
the last lew years have engrossed the attention OF the
legislature and the people, it may be hoped now
passing away; and whatever differences of opinion may
have existed in the minds of the people, their repre-
senatves upon the expediency of particular measures
proposed from time to mc for the relief of financial
system ii is of satisfaction 10 know that all par
ties were alike Interested for the honor of the State, to
the Just vmdlcation OF which all were anxious to con-
tribute their Jealous efforts When that vindication is
complete all will be found united to sustain and support
that public faith and credit which only be restored
and maintained by the support OF united and patriotic
people These embarrassments once out OF the way
may il not be hoped that the people of this State will be
encouraged to consider the urgent necessity which exists
IN Maryland for fundamental reform? This necessity so
universally acknowledged by the people of this State, has
heretofore failed to inspire that resoue effort ndis
pensable to success-nay not hope that the coming
contest for the chief magistracy OF the State will afford
an occasion to invite public attention to the well known
opinions OF the distinguished gentleman presented by the
democratic party their standard bearer, under which
will rally the friends Of CONVENTIONAL REFORM'
