~When MIR. Evans made an effective
speech IN Centreville, week or two ago,
the locoioco paper there spoke of it as
very small affair. This determined GONE
Of the voters in the lower counties, to call
up Mr.. Magraw, SO that comparison
might be Instituted. But in this state of
the case Mr.. Magraw declined going down.
What was the reason!
On Tuesday the locofocos had meet
ing at the Blue Ball, in this county. They
advertised that several OF their crack speak
ers from Phila. and Balto., would be pres
ent; but they failed to come, and the de-
mocracy had to put up with a domestic
article. But Mr.. Magraw was present and
did not speak. Does the Centreville pa
per ask how that happened. Just the
easiest way in the world; Mr.. Magraw
didn't speak, because Mr.. Magraw conld'nt
speak. We imagine it will let MIR. Evans
alone about his speeches hereafter.

THE CoNCREssMAN.-In regard to the
election of congressman, we have but
little to say, in addition to what has al
ready been put forth in these columns; but
we cannot fail to reiterate the important
consideration that the administration needs
the congressman from this District.
The House of Representatives will be
unconlmonly close Maryland will decide
which party will have the majority. If
the wings have the congress, Gen. Taylor
will have an opportunity to conduct the
administration according 10 his best jlldg-
10 ent. If on the contrary, the opposite
p:rty have the majority, they will harass
an d perplex the administration merely be-
cause of political difference. They will
do this without view to benefit their
party, but simply to hamper Gen. Taylor.
1t is therefore the duty of every friend of
Taylor. and of every citizen willing to
allow this administration fir chance, to
support the Wing candidate for congress.
This point is plain.

We regret that we could not lay our
hands on the North American, containing
the article referred to. We did not see the
article, but we understand that it showed
to demonstration, that the locofoco tariff,
while it Injuries the general business of the
country, is severe upon the canal, and up
on the interests of boatmen particularly.
Let every captain, sailor, owner OF boats,-
every one connected with the Canal, or
the running of vessels to carry freight,
vote for Mr.. Evans, who is favorable to
such tariff as tends to sustain the boating
interests.

We have therefore right 10 use them TO

take their life il our necessities demand il.
This right over them is given 10 us by the
revealed will Of God. But inasmuch as
they, like ourselves, are the creatures OF
God, we have no right TO use them in any
other manner than that which God has
permitted. They, as much as ourselves,
are under his protection. We may there
fore use them for our necessities. We are
designed to subsist partly upon animal
food; and We may innocently slay them
for this purpose. We may use them foT
labor. or for innocen, physical recreation
as when we employ the horse for draugh'
or for the saddle. But while we so
use them, we are bound TO treat them
kindly, 10 furnish them sufficient food and
with convenient shelter. He who cannot
feed brute well, ought not TO own one.
And when we put them 10 death, it should
be with the least possible pain. We are
forbidden 10 treat them unkindly on any
prelence, or for any reason; there can be
