D3W Waig A letter in the Baltimore
Clipper of Tuesday last, dated at this town
and signed - American, contained para
graDh rejecting upon well known Candidate
Tor the American nousinaiiup for Register Of
wis. justice to that gentleman aud also
To free from suspicion the members of the
American party. ! would state that the well
known author of that letter is not a citizen Of
this District. and the information from which
he framed the base charge was not furnished
him by any gentleman here. The friends of
Mr.. Sluyter regret the publication Of the
slandcr and totally dlsclaim any connection
with its author No man VIII, knows the
object of this elimination would credit the
thing. TO Mr. May it can do no harm, and
| am only induced to make this nublc ey-
PLANTATION by the fact that suspicion might
he cast upon some prominent gentleman of
American party.
The candidates for the American no,una-
ton for the District Offices are AS thick as the
- Ticks of Tic, Town" The contest how
ever will be principally confined to the Office
OF Road Supervisor: any quantity Of gentle
men are willing to mend the roads for the
dear people. and as the prospect of cle.tion
is nearly reduced to certainty, I suppose
many more will, for fear the Office will rot
sock them seek the Office before next Satur-
day. The rivalry however will be conducted
in generous and harmonious spirit aud the
nomination will he unanimous one. no
matter who succeeds The invinribe Sim.
mons will be the candidate for constable and
will get five SiXths Of tkc votes il the district.
Strange to say the more the people run thi $
man, the better they like him. lie makes IL
larger poll each Succeeding election and in
five Yeas more would II nominated get eve y.
vote in the District.
The remnant of IT," Democratic party
met in Srcrel caTtirre last Saturday. and re-
commented Thomas n. Biddle for Road Su.
pcIviSor. G. f. Cristcld and James Boyd
for Magistrates and George W, Bouchcl and
John buchanan for ConStabics. No human
agency can elect any of these gentlemen and
learn that two of them not willing TO risk
the chances have pr'ldcntly resigned. Many
persons discrcdit the report tina, the Dcmoc-
lacy have named these gentlemen for the cX-
tensive abSurlity Of putting at least thee Of
these men before The people. aud calling on
them for then votes, might well suggest
doubt as to the sanity of the parties who
nominated them. The Mccullough influence

and understand that William Lindsey Of
this District will get the first vote of the
Delegation which will rule Chambers out)
then John W. Mccullough of Port Deposit
will get their support. They are in favor of
Ricketts, for Clerk and will demand at least
three Candidates from the lower Districts
which the Democracy will give them if they
are sensible, and still remember the Ja,nar
and Busscy campaign.
This morning was informed by a leading
Democrat, that the reason why no more men

Every day Some news of diSatlcction Teaches

OF their error. Men who never Eltcrca are
