Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1857-08-21

we expect shortly 10 announce Sc
ries of public meetings to be held at all
convenient points of our county. The
Union party are determined to make no
holiday time of the present CONTEST
They intend at once to advance shoulder
to shoulder, and step to step, and dis
charge their utmost duty to themselves
and their cause. They will face the foe
with undiminished spirit. and with I'M
finching purpose to conquer. They have
passed through arduous conflicts, but,
they have never lost their standards. 1t
is too late to disturb such record now,
when they have the flower of the old
Wing party fighting by their side
Every man then to his post! The peril
that humans the timid, but adds new
strength to the arm, and pours new cour-
age into the bosom Of the gallant and
magnanimous Let us, then, address
ourselves at once to the duty Of uphold
ing and enforcing our principles and per-
fecting our organization, through which
alone these principles can be maintained
and extended. Talk to your ncighbors
Show them that the tendency of Know
nothingism is to subvert the guarantees
of the Constitution and destroy civil and
religious liberty. 1t presents you with
no system of policy, but aims at the de-
struction of the political creed under
which you have so long prospered. All
it brings now as recommendation to
public favor is warfare on the benign
spirit of our laws, and hunger for Of
fee, such as was never seen before. We
entreat every man in the county who
loves the institutions of his State to pom
der these things, and deal honestly and
truly with himself and his country. -
There is no measure of public good Or
wise reform that the Union party cannot
better carry out than any other existing
organization. 1t is the party of conserv-
atism, of strength and resolution. Let
every true man rally under its proud flag.
Egg" The Know-nothing nominees for
the House of Delegates are Dir. WASH
INerov WATERS, of Clarksburg, anG II.
FRANKLIN VEIRs, of Rockville District.
The latter was an aspirant for Senatorial
Eonors, but failed to get the nomination.
But he was bound to be put forward for
something, to repay him for his abandon
mentof the Democratic party and his
valaqJlc services in the Know-nothing
cause. There seems to be a sly suspicion
entertained by some of Mr.. Yeirs' old pc.
litieal friends that his heart was made scl
by hope deferred, and that he deserted
the Democratic ranks because they coulC
never succeed in electing him to any of
Zee for which they presented him. b
this as it may, the nomination of this lie
gislative ticket forcibly illustrates the We
rity of the old adage, that (" misery brings
together strange bedfellows. DR.. Wa
ters and Mr.. Veirs, in the language o
? the latter accepting the nomination
"will now traverse the county together
upon the same hobby; while, not many
years since, they were upon the turf al
competitors for the same prize; the ONT
as the nominee of the Wing and the 9th
or Of the Democratic party. DR.. Wa
tiers was then elected and Mr.. Veirs de
feated. They are now buckled togethel
upon the course, and when they have
finished it they will find themselve
stretched out upon the couch upon which
the latter has reclined every time he ha
taken race.
