Horse Racing.

The subject of horse racing, in this vicinity,
has become quite an exciting topic, and the
MonmoalH Democrat comes in for the credit of
stirring up tire matter While we do not ap-
prove of the violence with which the Democrat
has assaulted the parties, nor the peculiar cpl
thets which it applies to them, yet we, N COM
mon with all other %ell-dispesed erder-loving,
luw-abiding, considerations citizens, deprecate
the prevalence of the practice. The evils con-
nected with these exhibitions, were the princi-
pal objects for which the law was designed,
and to suppress which, should be enforced
The love of fine horses and the desire to exhi-
bit them, is quite natural, and in itself, is, per-
haps, no more censurable or immoral than
many other matters connected with the present
imperfect condition of society," yet these fine
horses can be used on the road and for legti-
mate, and even commendable purposes, in a
way to test their qualities, witheut attaching
to their use, the positive evils, and centamina-
mating influences, which the law was wisely
enacted tie prevent. Men who possess supe-
rior horses-fast horses-(fo for which this coun-
ty and state are justly celebrated can exer-
else thcm on their own farms, OF privately, on
the road and as for public exhibitions, of their
superior qualities, noble proportions, and splen-
did appearance, our Agricultural Society have
especially provided suitable and proper place,
where they can annually, and legitimately be
shown, and their true merits determined. Let
our horsemen turn their attention to these
matters, quietly, promptly, and as becomes all
good citizens and if they do rot let the law
be rigidly enforced, and then, those who are
devoid of moral sense, will be made to feef-
what persuasion and argument have failed to
do--the consequences. Let The officers of the
law do their duty-no matter whose toes are
pinched. Let Judge PoTTs but be informed of
the matter and the next Grand Jury will have
to deal with the nuisance.
