the ambiguous position OF the Democratic
Alleganian, its present troubles az we'll as tina
Of the Democratic party must be attributed
We requote the famous words: "You canno
serve two masters" Although the Demo
cratic Al!eganian tries to clear its conduct II
fine phrases and explanations such as 'ir'
away at every man who differs with us, Of
"to render our opinions subservient to popu
lar or factious dictation," he cannot remove
the impression; yes, the conviction OF In
guilt. If the editor of the Demo;ra Ale
yanan has, az he boosted in his article, "high'
er conceptions Of the duties of Jouanalis
and thinks and acts for himself" why does hi
hang himself to the coat tail of old party
hacks and publishes, rs am Informed, thci'
scribbngs under his own signature? II the
Democratic Aleganian thinks he can hud'
fold the people at the expense Of "Nertas" he
is mistaken. Remember the words of Ed
ward III, "Honni salt qu NAL pense. -
With holiness the Aleganian further asserts;
1--WE take quite as firm stand, and com
mented with quite as much severity, upon
the action of all who had cut the ticket last
fall, as at the municipal election" If the
Alleganian did so, it is more than or any
body else is aware of. To make long sto-
~ short he very carefully tells us, lit is need
less to occupy space by comparison OF what
was said at the respective fines. In other
words, II said nothing, therefore can cite
nothing"
The Democratic Alleganian goes on to COM
ment: at is true me have since been silent,
hut the complications in which many things
were involved, the obvious fact that some
others, independent Of those ~ho are stiled a
"vile and treacherous clique" had been re-
cream. to their good faith" Every cause has
its effect. Last Fall, when it was important
that the whole Democratic ticket should
have been elected, the Simon pure Fitz clique
did not care continental about the success
of the party. Then their watch-wprd was
ruinatun" and tire they succeeded in their
treacherous design and became victori-
Gus. 10 satisfy their treacherous unsuitable
appetite for posts Of honor and profit, they
seized, like greedy animals, the spells, and t"
their shame be it nent toned, what they could
not reach by cunning manoeuvres, they got
by fraud and corruption. Like band OF
guerllas they divided the plumber nicely a.
mong themselves and their subordnated trail
tors and only Plllbox junior of bogus ticket
notoriety fell short but 4 votes out OF 6.
The divil crump, the good Irish voters OF
Mount Savage aud the head-stubborn Dutch
could get from tho Landstable.
| With the same discrimination which they
used heretofore they distributed the offices
IN the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. To re-
move a certain unfavorabe impression crea-
ted by some newspapers that the Irish haG
taken possession Of all the Offices on the Ca
nal Copeland was dispatched to have the
matter corrected in the Cumberland Bulletin.
In No II Of that paper the list of officersap-

authority, il those appointed are not foreign
ers, their names their language, their custom
and their manners resemble them very much.
The sweet Irish brogue, since the reign OF old
Galen, is 50 strongly represented along the
Caual, that rers N is tempted to think him
self ON the Guild Canal from Rathcoo!c to Du-
bin, and finer ditch was never dug
In the same manner those boilers acted in
distributing the different offices, they also ac-
ted in every other respect. Old Gaem, who
pledged himself to support the Canal Bill,
which bill lie approved, became fathlcss aud
used all his cxcrtion to defeat that very inn
p,rtamt bill With a similar design that
lique acted in the late Baltimore Convention.

deceived the convention, and vot d to the
Contrary. A ID such men as these, the editor
Of the Alleganian would like to see sustained?
