grcss from the 9Th district II was
barbecue gotten up by Mr.. Clay himself,
at his own home, for the qualification Of
the friends who aided in securing his glc-
rious triumph over the combined hosts
Of acknowledgement. His was bril-
liant success; and it was proper that
there should be rejoicings and congratu-
lations. Following the suggestions Of
his friends, Mr.. Clay concluded that o.,
entertainment assembling the Democratic
hosts would be in keeping with their
wishes, and a qualification TO himself;
hence he announced barbecue. Yes
terday was the occasion, and Ashland
the place. Five Thousand persons gath
cred from the surrounding country, and
the speaking and feosting was kept up
during the day. Speeches were mado
by Hons. John G. Breckenridge, james
B. Clay, Governor Willard, Charles An
derson of Cincinnati, Colonel Preston Of
our city, and others.
Great enthusiasm prevailed. Firing
Of cannon and music enliycned the occa-

Volume III.---No. 3.

A QUESTION ANSWERED. The cues
ton has been asked us, is Col. John G.
Groome Wing or Democratic candidate
for Governor? Our answer is TINT he
is either or both, just as those who start
the enquiry may please to consider him.
Old issues are dead and tire disputes
to which they legitimatoly gave rise
have died with them. Passion and pre-
judice alone survive the conflict; and
now these have failed to keep a division,
which hasss'ceased to be an honorable ri
valry. Wings aud Democrats arc no
longer disposed to be controlled by the
remembrance of an ancient feud. New
and living issues claim their undivided
attention, and demand their united efforts
in behalf of doctrines to which as wings
and democrats they alike assent--upon
which they have never differed.
They disagreed upon questions of con-
stitutional construction and administra-
tive policy and not upon the fundamental
principles of the government. Civil and
religious liberty, political equality and
popular sovereignty have ever been re-
cognized by them in common as the ba-
sis of all good government and are now
recognized by us as tho basis Of an or
ganization in Maryland in opposition to
the proscriptive principles, intolerant
spirit and abolition proclivities of know
nottingham.
Col. Groome may "have nothing to
disguise, regret or retract, as an old
whig; yet upon those questions which
affect the liberty of conscience, the rights
and privileges Of American citizens, the
interests of the South and preservation
and permanency of the Union" he an
nounces himself democrat and takos
the democratic side. We know him.
then, to be an anti-know- nothing, aud
that is enough to know. II is the only
legitimate enquiry involved in the con
test for Governor; and those who ara
opposed to know nothingism, can mani.
fest their opposition in no other way than
by giving Col. Groome their support
State Rights Adcocate.

LEAvITT,s LATEST IMPROVED
LEANlII'S LAIEoI iMFhOF Ell
corn AND cob MILL.
Young America Excelsior.


VEyHE attention of the Farmers of
IL Montgomery County, is asked to
this greatly improved MILL for Crushing and
Grinding Corn and Cob Meal-lIorse feed gen
erally-and Meal from Shelled Corn.
1t is now well known that all animals are
improved in every respect by the use of ground
food, because OF its more easy and complete
digestion.
II is now well known that working animals
for the same reason, are kept in good condition
Mt less cost. by the use of food so prepared.
But while these principles Of true economy are
40 generally understood, many have been I'M
willing to procure suitable Mills because oftheir
expensive neutrality-suspicious. showing
that the Corn and Cob Mills heretofore before
the public, with the grinding plates cast solid,
with the two main portions Of the Mill, in
grinding for the use of an average sized farm
will wear smooth and become useless in about
two years among such is the Little Giant,
"Grangers Magic Mill, etc
In buying the EXCELSIOR MILL this OBJ
lection is entirely obviated, as It lisa Permanent
Mill. The Grinding Plates, 1.-THE only parts
that wear out) being two detached rings, cast
scperate from the main and expensive parts Of
the NH. each bolted on with three small bolts
and when worn smooth readily replaced in ten
minutes at a cost ofonly 80.
We name among the otner advantages llls
Mil possesses over the other Portable Iron Mills
ia use that the regulating OF the hneness OF
grinding is done by simply turning one central
act screw. The mesl Instead Of being scattered
GROUND as in other mills, is brought out at one
scout and no weight is required on the rearend
OF the sweep as balance
Wherever the Young America Excelsior has
becn introduced IL has superseded all Others OF
the kind.

hour according to fneness, and the grinding
is light work for two horses.
PRICE $50, including an extra set Of grind
ing places making il equal to two ordinary

Patent Movable Comb

a FEW OF THE ADVANTAGES
N this hive enjoys over all others will
be mentioned:
The Apiarian has the entire control
over all the comb; any or all of the
comb can be taken out at pleasure with
out injury to the comb or engaging the
bees in the least. 1t gives the power of
inspecting all the operations of the bee,
and at all times ascertain their precise
situation. 1t furnishes the greatest pos
sible security against the ravages of the
bee moth. 1t allows the surplus honey
to be taken at any time in the most con-
vepient, beautiful and saleable forms. -
1t is a swarming or non-swarming
hive, at the pleasure of the owner.
1t enables the Apiarian to multiply
his stock at pleasure. Queenlcss stock
can be supplied with Queens without any
difficulty. BY this system the Bees,
Comb and Honey can be removed from
ordinary hives into the I.angstroth hive
without the danger of being stung even
once.
This hive has taken the HIGHEST PRE-
MUM at twenty fairs within the past two
years. and received the SILVER MEDAL at
the Mechanics Institute, Washington,

THE PRICE for the Hive and Right is

Hive $15.

FREE SUFFRAGE IN NORTH CARoLrNA.
AT the late election in North Carolina
free suffrage" was adopted by an over
whelming vote of tho people of tho
State. As most of our readers may not
fully understand the question, we make
room for the following explanation u,
furnished by the Raleigh Standard:
"Our State constitution provides that
no ono shall vote for a senator in the
State legislature who does not own fifty
acres Of land. The constitution aIsp
provides that no amendment shall be
made TO that instrument unless bill for
that purpose shall have passed one gen
cral assembly by a three-ffths vote OF
all the members, and the next general
assembly by thirds vote Of all the
members; nor shall the said amendment
even then be made unless approved by
majority of tho people, landholders ami
observation-disclosures, at the ballot-box. An
amendment, striking out this freehold
qualification for voter in the senate,
and extending the right Of suffrage to
all native and naturalized citizens who
may have paid taxes, was passed by tho
three-ffths vote in 1854. and by the
two-thirds vote in 1856, and was sub
mitted to the people to be approved or
rejected at the late election.
"This measure originated with tho
democratic party in 1913, when Govern
or Reid, the author of it, was in the
field for the first time as their candidate
for governor. II encountered the de-.
cided opposition of the late wing party.
many Of whose leaders labored for years
TO defeat it. But the democrats stood
by it firmly aud mapfully, and it has at
last triunphed by an immense majority
