us from our glowing fires aud comfortable

although it was quite disag ceablc in conse-
qucnce of the falling snow, we were treated
to variety of choice pieces of music, to which
they did ample justice and acquitted them
selves with honor and respect. This evening

Legislative Ticket.

The people of this county have never had
a better legislative ticket presented for their
sufragcs than the one nominated by the OPP
postion--James Smith, Esq, for State SEN
ate, and Mcssrs S. p Smith, Aza Beall, ID.
w. McCleary and John Hartly, for House Of
Delegates. Well qualified in every respect
to guard the interests of the people in the
halls Of the Legislature, they are, in addition,
men Of sterling integrity, against whom not
Il breath of suspicion has been raised, "a
gainst whom no sound argument has been,
or can be urged. Opposing candidates for
the same position have been addressing the
people in the various portions Of the county,
but their effort has been to drag themselves
into office by directing their fec bic batteries
against Mr.. Hoffman. They hope to be able
20 defeat him. and upon the same tide which
they suppose will bear his competitor on to
the object of hisambtion. ride themselves in
to power. Not willing that leach tub should

Rally Men! Rally!!

In very few days the citizens of this coun-
tv, in the exercise Of the highest prerogative
of citizenship, will be called upon to elect
their law makers, and some of its executors.
We call upon you to reflect fos one moment
before you cast your ballot, if inclined to vote
with the Democracy. Remember, that party
is responsible for the present depressed con-
dition of business. Their revenue tariff pol
icy allows the foreign manufacturer to flood
the country with manufactured iron, wooden
and cotton goods, shoes, boots, hats, and
in fact with every description of articles made
by our own citizens, and by so doing throws
out of employment thousands Of men. Why
are you now idle? Why arc so many of our
houses unoccupied? Why have the fires at
Mount Savage gone out? Why are the in
dustrious miners standing about with their
hands in their pockets? Why is our Cotton
Factory closed up? The answer to all these
inquiries is, the importation of foreign goods
into the country, under the present democrat
c tariff is 50 great as To overstock the mar
ket and are sold at so low a price that our
manufacturers have to close up their estab-
lishments. This is the reason why, just at
the beginning of cold and cherries winter
You have nothing to do. Can You then vote
for the democratic ticket and thus fasten upon
yourselves policy so destructive of your
welfare? Surely you cannot We ,hen call
upon you to rally to the standard of the OPP
position. Vote for Hoffman and the nomi-
necs of the Opposition party

The Harper's Ferry Affair.

The English language does not furnish
terms sufficient to express our sovereign and
supreme contempt for that malignant party
spirit which would manufacture political
capital out of it. But in this State-in this
district-in this county-the democratic lead
ers are cndeavoring to prejudice the public
mind against our candidates for Congress, by
charging them with sympathy for the miser-
able fanatics who projected it. 1t is base
means of electioneerng, and we warn the
people against the scheme.
Since, however. they have thought proper
to connect the Opposition with it as respon-
sible party, it is well enough to see who was
connected with it. BY memorandum of
Brown, the ring-eader of the insurgcnt par
tv. we learn that the band was an admxture
of Black Republicans and Democrats, as fol-
lows: Johr Kagi &offit, Cook. Parsons, Le-
man, Democrats and Ealf. Tidd, Whiple,
Robertson, and Brown, Black Republicans
This Democratic Administration could have
prevented the whole affair, for the Secretary
of War received letter in August last setting
forth the name OF the riDgieader, the general
plan contemplated by him, the place where,
and the time when the attack was to be made.
In addition to this, the letter said they had
an accomplice in government armory in
Maryland. This letter the Secretary of War
carefully preserved, and instead of warning
the citizens of Harpcr's Perry, he kept them
in entire iguoranceof conspiracy against
their property and lives, and while they wero
sleeping the desperadoes tuok possession of
the town, and imprisoned its leading citizens.
And while this was transporting, the Demo-
cratic Secretary of War was luxuriafing ut
Washington with the note of warning in his
pocket, and did not think enough of the peace,
and lives Of the Harpers Ferry peo-
pie to communicate the intelligence to them
before He Thing happened. How careful of
The public welfare are our Democratic rulers
when they neglect aud refuse 10 infoim the
people when conspiracy is Plotting asains.

Mr.. Pearre's Speech.

On the night of the 10Th inst, George A
pearrc Esq, made speech from the stand on
Bait. street, to a large crowd OF his fellow
citizens, upon the political issues Of the day.
1t was mastery sp'ech--one which, by its
plain, direct and convincing logic, constrained
every man to acknowledge the Justice and
truth of his doctrines, whose mind was not
purposcly steeled against conviction. 1t con-
tanned no appeal to the passions and preiu-
dices of men, as has characterized the speeches
of some Democratic ora tors but it was
calm, dignifie, and argumentative address to
the sober reason and judgment of his audi
ence. While he made some home-thrusts at
the Democracy upon other questions, the Ta-
riff was the leading topic of his remarks
In the beginning of his remarks upon this
question, of such vital Importance to the
great interests of the country, he made some
unmerciful because truel and we'l-dcservcd
blows at the Democratic candidate for State
Senator, who, few years ago, delighted to
advocate Protective Tariff, but now de-
clares it humbug. Mr.. Kunkel, he said
had declared the Tariff of 1916 the standard
to which he would square all tariff systems
He mr.. Pearrc) was authorized to declare
that Hon. II. w. Hoffman was in favor of the
principle of the Tariff of 1912. Hethen con-
urasteti the two systems. lie showed that
under the Democratic and Kunkel Tariff Of
1916 we bought more by millions than we
sold, which was the fruitful source of finan-
cal evils lie then gave us graphic picture
of the paralysis which struck every branch
of American Industry, which was the legiti-
mate consequence of that law. He then
showed, on the other hand, that the Tariff of
1912, the principle of which Mr.. Hoffman is
in favor of restoring, gave protection and en-
to Home Industry, aud under
its operation every Department Of American
labor and manufactures was in the full tide
Of successful experiment In short he DEM
onstrated as clear as a sunbeam that Kunkcl's
policy carries away the gold. of the country
by ship-loads to pay the balance of trade
against us-while Mr.. Ho6nan's would keep
il at LONE as working capital for the Lam
gushing interests Of ourselves in every de-
partment of business.
As Mr.. Kunkel had held up the Democratic
tariff Of 1916 as the most beautiful system

Discussion in ErCderiCk.

BY telegraphic dispatches from Frederick
we learn that the joint discussion which took
place there on Saturday, 22d inst, between
Mr.. Hoffman and Mr.. kunkel was highly ia
vorable to our nominee. The flagelation Kun
kcl got was even worse if possible than that
he received in Cumberland, and inspired the
Opposition with the widest enthusiasm
Move on boys, and on next Wednesday, the
people of Allegany, long deceived by the
leaders of the sham democracy, will crush out
from among them that fearful heresy, which
says they need no protection, but stout heart

coufine them to a STOPPING Or sitting posture,
almost invariably suffer from irregularities of

as render it unenjoyable, may be uniformly

in all time to come. by occasional doses of the

ly described to them. What grateful public
servants Democratic Secretaries of War are,
who withhold the note Of warning, and allow
an invasion like that Of Harpers Ferry, which
could have been prevented by sending the
letter to the Mayor of che town. Being fore
warned, they would have been forearmed,
and then the tragedy of lIarpers Ferry would
never have been recorded Oh the pages Of
American history.
