The QUESTION ABOUT THE jury
During the present week we have received
many additional letters asking whether the
Jurors Of the October term should appear here

members OF the bar, and the opinion seems to
be general, that all the Jurors on the October
panel, both Grand and Petit, should be
present at the opening Of court next Monday.

Acknowledgement.

To our friends, who have recently by let
ter and orally, expressed their appreciation o.
our course, and their appreciation Of the pa
per we publish, we return our sincere thanks
while we are glad to rs-snter upon our list o.
subscribers, some who by false representa-.
tons and other appliances were induced tc
desert Us. 1t is not easy to estimate the diff.
Guilty of publishing partizan newspaper
and none but the editor can form an adequats
idea of the embarrassments with which his
every steps is attended. To please the diver
sified views ofhis every reader, is thing i'm.
possible, and hence the utmost charity should
be exercised toward him, for it should be
borne in mind that his interests are immsdi-
ately identified with those Of his readers, and
hence it may with the utmost propriety be
supposed that he will try to do that which is
right. Our friends will notice that this num-
ter, owing to press of advertising, but we
hope in few weeks to have moro space IL
devote in that way, in the mean time, we
would remark, if our friends will givs US a
little aid in the City and through the country,
by securing Tor lis an enlarged subscription
list. VIC will furnish them with paper much
larger than that we now publish. The thing
can be done IL our friends will give us their
cheerful aid. Invite your neighbors to sub
scribe and send us their names, only $500
per annum, but four cents a week. Who is
there that cannot pay that small sum.

Tho Frederick Herald,

The unwise course which the Frederick
Herald has seen proper to persue, and It's con-
tinual abuse of the editor of this paper, led It's
in recent issue to designate its policy as in
sane. tho doing of which has walked up all the
evi! passions of his nature, which we assure
our readers are many and very malignant
He commences an article OF nearly column
in length by remarkably feeble effort at
description, and which tapers off in vulgar
fling at our supposed want of knowledge
If it win DO OF any advantage to the editor OF
the Herald we will readily admit our inferi-
ority to him in the possession of that valua-
Bile article, for we claim to be modest man,
and have great rcpugnance to blowing our
own trumpet, vastly preferring that others
should do it for us, II it is blown at ALL
Neither do we claim for ourselves all the
honor and schivary that should belong to a
native of old Maryland, but are pleased to
learn that the editor of the Herald is both
honorable and schivalrous, though this he
found it necessary to tell us for fear perhaps
We would over look it, and as it regards our
solves, We make no pretcnsions, we simply
stand in our lot, waiting for proper circum-
stances to test both the character and quality
Of our honor and our chivalry.
1t appears also that the Herald is very
much concerned about the public plundcr,
and 1t accuses us of being in the Same cate
CORY with itself in reference to this thing
The readers of the Herald have not yet for
gotten, fort is Of very recent occurrence, that
it whined mcst piteously because it did not
receive, as it conceived, its just proportion Of
the public plumber of Frederick county; it
il therefore in very bad taste for the Herald
to charge us with being anxious to obtain
that, when it has rhed so many tears, and ut
tered so many heart rending sobs because Of
its own failure In that line.
One would suppose in reading the Herald
that it was very important that the people
should know what it respects and what it de-
spises. How that may be whore the Herald
has circulation wo know not, but in this
locality 1T is laughed at as simply ridicu-
lous, assumption Of n conceitcd and
over bearing nature that cannot brook to be
contradicted, aud that deserves our pity more
thar our contempt.
We wish the Herald to understand that it
is matter Of perfect Indifference to us what
it approves or disapprovcs, for its perfect
harmlessness has already been tested in ts
loud repessSd and UNDECIDED calls upon the
State Executive Committee to pass sentence
of condemnation upon us.
We have placed Bell and Everett at the
head of our columns as our choice for the
presidency, and we intend to keep them thor
we hope for their election by the people, We
shall labor for it, but if we fail we know o.
but one other man that has any chance, and
If he should be elected, we would not be sur.
prised if he would not DO called upon to hang
the editor Of the Herald as high as.Haman fol
| counciing treason and then what will be-
come of Honor ard Chivalry.

A Lifelong Democrat for Bell,

The Tuscaloosa (Alabama) Monitor, in an
account Of meeting at that place, says it
was addressed by MIR. Vim. II. Morton Esq.
The Monitor says Of his speech:
"Mr. Morton said he was Democrat, and
expected to die in the faith--but that he was
for the Union Of the States, and he thought
the man who could preserve it one day would
be entitled to the everlasting gratitude of his
country and humanity everywhere. Tha. he
had no sympathy with the dsunion schemes
of Yancey & Co., who had taken possession
Of the Breckenridge Democracy, and he would
have no utilization with them; and he gave
these dsunionist schemerss such an sxcoriation
as we have never heard--he handled them
without gloves, aud showed them up in their
true colors. All over the country, North,
South, East, and West" tho honest patriotic

BRECKENRIDGE MErTINa.-The Breckin-
ridge wing of the Democratic party, had a
meeting on last Saturday night, in front Of
Barnums, on Baltimore street. The attend
ance vas not large-the utmost decorum was
observed. The meeting was opened by n
speech from Col. Schley. who having con-
cluded, introduced Ex-Gov. Lowe to thu
meeting-Mr. Lowe spoke Tor about an houl
and half.
Both these speeches charged Mr.. Dousla
with the breaking up Of tine Democratic par
ty--both claimed that the Breckenridge wint
az de hue Dem, crazy, and both admitted
that the Democracy would be defeated in TIN
present contest. When Mr.. Lowe conclude,
the audience had dwinded down to yer,
small number, and little or no enthusiasm
prevailed at the meeting.
