Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1859-09-30

then there Is no other excuse they care
fall back upon in justification of their
course.
With the Southern Opposition party
defeated by ten thousand mgority, in
the aggregate vote of the former impreg-
nable opposition States of Kentucky,
Tennessee and North Carolina, ten thou
sand in the city of Baltimore, and at
least two thousand in the State of Mary
land outside Of the city of Baltimore, /
think the time has come for the disband-
ing of that party South of Mason 4 Dix
on's line, and the immediate annexation
of all its wiser and better members to the
National Democracy" Not one single
State of the South can they carry in the
Presidential election ofnext year, though
they gained two or three Congressman by
accident at the late elections held in the
States above named. The result of these
accidental opposition gains by meagre
majoritics, will be large increase of the
Democratic vote in those States next
year, for they now see the result Of the
want of proper vigilance, and will take
good care not to be caught mapping
another time.
There being now no chance for the OPP
position in Maryland but going over
bodies and souls to the Black Republican
conspiracy for the destruction of the
South, or uniting their fortunes with the
Democratic party, | cannot doubt that
hundreds Of them in your county will
adopt the latter course, after the example
set by thousands Of Americans in this
city. tits time for them to grow tired
of being deceived. Tho way they we're
taken in and 1eeced out of their bets, by
the false representations of the editors in
the interest Of Fillmore, in the election
of 'lifty-six, ought to be q lesson to
them. The high and honorable appoint
ments bestowed by President buchanan
upon many gentlemen who were in OPP
position 70 the Democratic party until the
Prcsdcptsal election Of chat year, shows
that tsty arc received into full Demo-
eratc communion at once, and should |
move every good citizen Of the opposition
IN Montgomery county and the State at
large, 10 take their stand in the ranks of
the Democratic party without days de-
lay BY persisting in their opposition,
they have no hopes before them, but
that Of remaining in minority for years
to come, and in that minority they will |
be forever shorn of every thing like the
honors and emolumcnts of political life. |
Should the Opposition hold their sway in |
Maryland ono Faar l4neor hw tho dis
francasement, at the coming election, of |
fifteen thousand Baltimore voters, through
a mistaken reliance of our recent great
Reform meeting upon the honesty of
Mayor Swami, intelligent ncn among
them cannot he,p tor6secing that popular
viii sweep that party entire
ly out Of existence in Baltimore next
year
The friends of law, order, and good
government throughout the State, are
looking confidently to Montgomery's
casting heavy majority on this side at
the coming election That true Demo
crat and elegant gentleman, DR.. WASH
NGToN DUyALL, being more extensively
known here than any other candidate on
your ticket, we must be pardoncd for
taking an especial interest in his political
fortunes, and urging "a long pull,
strong pull, and pull altogether" for
securing his triumphant election. As
have written more than intended at the
start, permit me to close here by promis-
ing TO let you hear from me again quite
soon. ASHLAND.
