Sticking to Ones Rights.

Old stories very often have forcible
application to present times. The follow
ing anecdote we met with lately in an
exchange paper.
"How is il, John, that you bring The
wagon home in such condition."
81 broke It driving over stump"
"Where 2"
"But why did you run against the
stump? Couldn't you see how to drive
straig hit :"
81 did drive straight, sir, and that is
the very reason that I drove over 1t.
The stump was directly in the middle Of
the road"
"Why, then, did you not go round it -
'sBecause. sir, the stump had no right
in the middle OF the road, and | had a
right IN it.".
"True, John, the stump ought not to
have been IN the road, but | wonder that
YOU were so foolish as not to consider
that it was there, and that II was stronger
than your wagon"
"Why, father, do you think that am
always going to yield up my rights
Not I; am determined to stick up to
them, come what will"
sBut what is the use, John, OF stand
ing up TO rights, when you only get a
greater wrong by so doing!'
81 shall stand up for them at all haz-
ards"
"We'l, John, all I have to say is this:
hereafter you must furnish your own
wagon"
In the political world there is very
large and ugly stump placed directly IN
the middle of the high road over which
our great legislative wagon has to pass.
What is worse, loo, some Of our Southern
fellow citizens helped the North'to place
the stump exactly IN its present position,
or rather to dig away the earth which
had previously hidden it. These very
same politicians now insist in driving d.
rectly over the stump, because it is in
the middle of the road. it being one of
their rndoubteh rights to use that por-
ton of the highway. Little care they
whether the wagon is broken or not in
the passage-they insist on their rights at
all hazards. Would it not be proper
for them to reflect upon the agency they
had in giving the stump its present ro-
sition, before they put IN practice their
threats to break the wagon upon 1t, mere
ly because those who helped them to put
it there, fancying 1t a great improve
ment to the highway, will not assist IN its
removal
There is on. thing very certain; the
people who own the vehicles that travel
over thus road, will take very good care
that their rash drivers in future furnish
their DUN ,rdgons.'-.Natehes Courier.

o. Paragraphs inserted by the printers
last week and the week previous, have
informed our readers that we have been
too sick to attend to business. As a con-
sequence, THE WING has been without
editorial matter, at time when something
of the kind seemed to be needed.
Yesterday and to-day, (FrIday.) we are
so far recovered as to sit up a little. We
are told we have been very sick, but
through the help OF kind Providence,
the best medical attendance, and the I'M
firing care Of the kindest friends, we feel
ourselves rapidly recovering.
Mex: week we hope to give partial atten-
ton to business We shall be glad, there
fore, to hear from our friends on all mat
ters, relating to which, they may wish to
consult us TO advise US, or to ask advice.
We shall try, soon to answer neglected
letters, and to attend to neg lected business.
In the mean time, if anything still be ne
elected, or has been wrongly done, we
hope we may be notified concerning it
without delay.
Persons who have sent us money shall
be credited and receipts sent, in cases
where II has not been done and here
we will take the liberty to say, that we
would be glad to receive remittances from
our friends who owe US, as we are in want
OF money!

MIR CLARKE AT EASTON.

The Easton Gazette thus ends It's histo-
ry ofthis gsntleman's speech, at that
place on the 18th inst:
His remarks We're received with great
enthusiasm, Icing frequently interrupted
by applause, and there was feeling of
pleasant disappointment in the breast Of
every Wing, it having been supposed
he,e that Mr.. c. was not an orator. HIS
speech on Tuesday proved that he can
with ease cope with E. Louis Lowe, who
has been laudsd to the skies as the great
es, orator in Maryland, with single ex-
ception.-Ilis remarks showed him to be
Perfectly conversant with the political
history OF the country, and able to bring
his information TO bear in a discussion
with political opponent. Mr.. c. won
the esteem and warmest feelings of friend
ship of all with whom he became acquain
ted, and those who had not that pleasure,
but heard him speak on Tuesday are also
loud in his praise. We never knew a
candidate to create so favorable an i'm
preston, and we predict that the Wings
OF Talbot will give good account Of
themselves at the election. 1t is the
general drsire of the Wings that Mr.. e.
should visit us again before the election,
giving sufficient notice however, SO that
the Wings Of the entire county may be
present 10 see and hear him.

From the Baltimore Patrio:.l
Clarke and Lowe at Cockeysville.

Mr.. Clarke opened the debate. His
speech was characterized from beginning
TO end, by all those qualities which mark
unmistakably, the man Of sound, vigorous
intellect. 1t was lucid, orderly, discreet,
digniiied aud effective. 1t bore the i'm
press oil high qualities Of candor and judg-
ment. II was clothed in language, terse,
we'll chosen, not overloaded with orna-
ment; and yet relieved by those graces of
style which belong to the scholar and the
man Of refined tastes and associations.
The friends OF Mr.. Clarke heard him to
the end with gralided surprise, and his OPP
ponents generously and candldly acknowl-
edged that he possessed the very qualii-
cations which they admire SO much IN his
competitor.
Mr.. Lowe replied in speech of an hour.
We have no disposition to underrate this
gentleman. He has undoubtedly many OF
the qualifications of an effective orator
The Indifferent, the inattentive, the pref
udiced, and the ignorant may listen to
him with qualification, for his arguments
are not sufficiently profound to require any
effort on the part Of the hearer, and he has
unhappiIy acquired the evil habit of rely
ing more than is even safe upon sup.
posed want of information amongst his au-
dience. His ATTEMPTS at eloquence some
times rise into the regions OF hyberpole
and Lombast. His efforts at wit are not
always happy, and sometimes not only
make the 'judicious grleve," but fail to
excite the approval even OF the ground
lngs. Az an argument his speech OF Sat
urday did injustice to his logical powers,
If they are anything like what we have
been led 10 believe them, and we think
We state the general impression when we
say that in this respect, he fell far short OF
the expectations OF his friends.
On the whole, Mr.. Clarke's appearance
at this meeting has gained him both friends
and reputation. He has shown that he is
one of those men ever to be relied upon to
make themselves equal to the emergency
-men who rise and expand with the &C.
casion which tasks their powers-the men
who are foremost in the hours of public
danger, und whose spirit, zeal and energy
lead them naturally to the head Of affairs
the men, in short. of whom It is safe
and right to make Governors.

Hon. VIM. 3. Clarke.

Our candidate for Governor, the Hon.
WIN. B. Clarke, is now canvassing the
State, and we are informed, wherever he
goes, has won many friends, He has met
his opponent E. l.. Lowe, The 'greM and
mafchless orafor;n he has encountered him
in his ''masterly efforts" and has answered
some OF his s'unanswerable arguments in
debate. Wherever Mr.. Clarke has been,
he has astonished everybody-becauSe it
had been trumpeted forth, while Mr.. Lowe
was a modern Dcmosihencs, MIR. Clarke
was a feeble orator that whilst he was
playing his own game on the political
chess-board, making severe charges against
Mr.. Clarke, the latter was afraid to meet
him and was willing to let it all 90 for as
much as It might be worth. But ga
change has come Der the spirit OF this
DREAM" the mighty young orator has been
encountered, and at his o'rn game has been
literally ehethmatm.

From the Lafayette, (La.,l Republican,
The South in favor of the Union.

The danger threatening the American
uaion has never been more i'm ninent than
at the present moment. The fanatlclsm
of abolItionism, and the madness of South
ern chivalrv, are not now so fearful as the
sectional spirit which begins to pervade
the conservative portion OF Congress. 1t
was expected by all that the sudden death
Of Gen. Taylor would have awed both
houses of Congress into silence, and have
shut down the foodgates upon intemper.
ate discussion, which has so long embar-
raised useful legislation, and sckened the
heart of the nation by its peurile abstrac-
tons and unnatural hostility. Acknowl.
edglng the danger to our Union from pro-
longed agitation of a question arraying the
North and South IN hostility, men claim
ing to be patriots, and pretending that
they represent the people, continue to
wrangle over impracticable schemes, daily
increasing alienation Of feeling, and
strengthening sectional interests and sec
tiona iealousies, until the mind can scarce
ly iorsee the dreadful consequences which
may follow TO the country and to freedom.
Congress is tie cause OF the evil which
threatens. The people have little sympathy
with the fiery agitators. The masses de-
sire the settlement OF the vexed question.
They love the Union They will maintain
it. South Carolina may raise the black
flag of disunion, and call upon her sister
slaveholding States to rally under its
gloomy folds, under the pretence OF de-
Tending southern rights; but there will be
no answering signal, no gathering OF en-
thusiast hosts.
