ELECTIoNEERING.-ln some of the coun-
ties, says the Clipper, candidates for the
various offices have commenced electioneer-
ing, we understand, and are resor,ing to the
treating system to secure success. We have
but poor opinion Of any man who resorts
to ,hafmode of obtaining votes, and certain
ly would not vote for the person practising
it. If candidate does no. possess sufficient
merit to cn,i,ie him 10 the surfaces of his
fellow citizens, he should withdraw from
the canvass, and not endeavor to corrupt
the public morals by treating voters to IL
quor. We would not have any office which
had 10 be obtained by such degrading means
and the fact that candidate resorted to
them, would be sufficient to induce us to
vote against him as unworthy the office he
sought. 1t is species Of bribery which
should be discoun,enanced by the intelli-
gent and moral portion Of the community.
Let it be understood that the practice Of
treating will cause good men to vote agains,
the person guilty Of it, and i. will soon be
abolished.

No NoMINATIoNs.-The Cumberland,
Nd, Unionist, says:
From present indications, we think it will
be the veriest folly in the world for any
party hereabouts to hold nominating con-
vention preparatory to the approaching Fall
Elections. Both candidates and people seem
to be averse to such course. The former
are mostly willing to run without the aid
of packed committee, and the latter, of both
parties, appear to be determined to choose
their officers, not in obedience to party dc
tation, blu. from sense of the fitness of
those who may present themselves for their
surfaces,

TOBACCO CRor.-A correspondent Of the
Howard Gazette, writing from Elk Ridge
Landing, says:-Tobacco growers have had
very unpropilious season. In the frs.
place there was scarcity of plants, having
been destroyed in the beds by the flies and
in the second place, great portion of those
that were set out, have been dried up; thus
the want of plants and the laleness Of the
season have banished all anicipa,ions Of an
average crop.

PARLIAMENT OF LETTERs.-Many per-
sons do not seem to remember that, by The
new post office law, le,.efs which are pre-
paid are subject TO but three cents postage,
while those which are not paid are
charged with foe. 1t is hardly fair to tax
those to whom letter may be sent sixty
six per cent, more than would be charged
to the writer, if the letter shorld be paid at
the time of its being mailed. In order to
carry on, the intention of Congress in es-
tabishing cheap postage, we would recon-
mend TO all to prepay their letters.

OBITUARY.

Departed this life, at Oakland, on Saturday the
10Th of July, Miss ELIZABETH CAROLINE
PYE, daughter Of CHARLES A. PYE, Esq.
Truly has it been said, that ''Death loves a
shining mark, and in this instance he could not
have laid his ruthless hand on a choicer victim
In the death of Miss Pye, our county has lost one
of its br ghtest ornaments for in her have happily
blended all those beautiful traits of character that
caused her to be idolized in the domestic circle,
with the accomplishments that could not fail to
fascinate in whatever circle she might move. 1t
the privilege of the writer of this tribute to
her memory, to have loved her in life and watch
ed over her in death; and her last hours here left
us the we'll grounded hope that she has been re-
moved from the chilling blasts of wintry world
to cline of never-ending sunshine. Then let
not her bereaved family mourn those without
hope, but bend in submission to that divine hand
who has only claimed his own. That voice whose
magic lays so often called forth our devotion on
earth, was needed for the celestial choirs, and
has been, we trust, ere now, attuned to that of
Angels
'There in that better land.''
And bathed in radiance that around them springs,
Our loved friends wings expand,
As with the choiring cherubim she sings,
And all the glory of that God can see,
Who said on earth to sinners-s'Come to me"
Died, at his late residence, in Charles county,
Md on the 25th ut., Mr.. PHILIP MARSHALL,
in the 47th year of his age.
By this sorrowful dispensation the community
around him was bereft of a most honorable, unob-
trusve and peaceable member; and his own house
bold and connexion of a truly considerable and
kind husband, father and friend. His course
through life was marked by high-toned morality,
and by most exemplary regard in all his trans
actions to the strictest rule Of moral honesty. His
painful and trying illness was borne through weary
weeks with 4 meekness and forttude, which must
have been the gift of his Saviour, and his mortal
career was closed in calm and prayerful depen-
dence upon Him who came to seek and who died
to save him. A little beyond the meridian of life
his sun went down! From this, o reader, take
warning in the words Of thy Saviour: ''Be We
Son of Man cometh."

The OFFICES AND PARTIEs.-Under thi:
caption the Howard Gazette makes some
remarks, which we highly approve, and the
following is an extract from them:
"The people have taken the most impor.
tant appointments into their own hands
and if the offices are not we'll filled they
will have no one 10 blame but themselves
There are plenty of persons in the respec-
tive counties who are capable, if the voters
Will 60 with their eyes open TO find them
sit IS OF the utmost importance tina, pro-
per beginning be made. As we begin un-
der the New Constitution, so we shall pro-
badly proceed. The first election will be
precedent, and so prove advantageous or
curious for years to come.
''The first point to be settled is this -
Will the people continue the system ofparty
nominations We much mistake if their
enlightened judgment will not oppose it 3;
for if il be continued, in its application to
the Judiciary, and the County officers; then
have they spent their strength for naught
in remodelIing the constitution. Whatever
meri. may be supposed to attach to the old
system of primary meetings and conventions
in bringing out candidates for the Legsla-
ture, Congress, &C., we deem it totally I'M
fit TO be applied to our municipal nomina-
tons. In connection with these offices we
want no party creeds or platforms. What
has Wing or Democrat to do with the Of
fee Of Judge, Sheriff, States Attorney, Clerk,
Register or Commissioner These offices
have our property, persons, and even lives
in their hands and our main business is to
see that they measure up 10 the mark of
moral and intellectual stature, however in
signifcau. may be their modicum Of party
zeal.
''They are the ministers Of Justice for in
fractions Of the law; the conservators Of the
peace the arbiers of the peoples disputes;
the custodans Of their deeds, agreements
and contracts; keepers of their last wills
and testaments, the protectors Of their wild
ows and orphans the assessors of their
property, aud the adjudicators Of their taxes
and accounts-and how essential to such
trusts is par.izan feal,y let every sensible
man be the Judge. These offices stand in
the same relation to the public tina, me-
chanic, clerk, or oversees does to his en-
ployer, and what prudent man would max
Wing or Democratic faith a sine qua non
in the man he employed? Why, then, should
it be so in our local offices 20
