IW Within the last few days petition

RWW Within the last few days a petition
numerously and respectfully signed by tax
payers and others of this county, rcmonstra-
ting against bill now pending before the
Legislature to increase the salary of tho Clerk
Of the County Commissioners to five hundred
dollars, has been semitic the Maryland Senate
The bill has already passed the lower House
and may for all We know, have since passed
the Senate also.
Some OF the arguments made Use Of in the
memorial, are, that the duties Of the Office
have always been discharged for the presen:
salary, tssoo,l that theio are now and Away.
have beer competent persons ready and will
ing TO take the Office with the present salary;
that our already burthensome tax levics, and
the depressed state Of all the interests Of our
county, utterly forbid the idea Of an enlarge
ment of our county charges, but on the con-
trary furnish ft occasion for the inaugcra-
ton Of that economy. & retrenchment which
all persons adm. to be necessary, and which
were promised by the different candidates Tor
public favor at the late election,
We remember distinctly of hearing much
said during the last fall campaign about ex-
travagance, and large expenditures in our
county affairs, and We have no lesitaucy in
saying that the Opposition party in Allesany
took strong ground, on the side Of reform
and economy. \ srea, deal has also been
said about the pay and emoluments Of the
late Clerk, and if we mistake not, that fact
had something to do with his removal. The
Clerks pay is regulated by law, and we take
il for granted that he received no more than
the Commissioners were authorized ly law to
give him. Ii the people complained about
tho late clerks salary, what will they say
when they learn tha; the present Clerk is to
have, an increased salary over the one who
has in part been set aside on account Of re-
ceivins too much pay. We hopo none of
those gentlemen elected on the Opposition
ticket, at the late election, upon the score Of
economy, and retrenchment, will be found on
the wrong side now, but If the record should
place them, or any Of them on the side Of ex-
travagance and the needless increase OF sala-
ries, We will guarantee to them a very liberal
share Of that indignation, which already ex-
lists on this subject, and which is sure to in
crease as this matter and its history develop
themselves.

Ancient Superstition rs. Modern Science
Six hundred years ago it was believed that
scroiula could be cured by the touch of a
king, and that the fever of wound was a.
batcd by salving the weapon that caused it.
These and fifty other absurdItics, Of which
we read III tracing the progress OF the healing
art, now only excite contemptuous smile ;
but. even in this enlightened era, prejudice
and egotism sometimes struggle to pcrpetuatc
error, and venture to question the most pal
pable and sclf-cvi,lent truths.
THUS, when Holloway, alter long years Of
study and experiment, ushcrcl his all-power-
lul remedies before the world in their present
perfected state, their efficacy WAS denied by
many Jealous practitioners. These men were
that truth moved in a circle like blind
horse in mil-track. They regarded Hollo-
way as all iuuuvator; and 50 he was. His
innovations have astonishe,l-uay, more they
have convinced and delighted tie world
The most formidable ulceruus and eruptiye
maladies, with which science has hereto tIrc
wagcd an unequal combat. are now subduc!
by the penetrating Ointment for the cure Of
external diseases and and iujnrjcs, and his
famous Pills are almiuistere with marvellous
success for many dangerous internal disori-
crs.
We have not arrived at this conclusion
hastily. 1t is the duty Of the press to invcs-
tigatc before it approves. Public opion is, to
a certain extent, based upon lis statements.
and in all matters which concern the health
and life Of man, it cannot be too cautious or
too scrupulons But it is also the province
OF the press to give the widest notoricty to
important facts, aud to render justice to
great public benefactors. The testimony in
favor Of Professor Holloway's remedies emil
mates from all classes and from every quarter
of the globe. 1t is enthusia site, vcluminous,
and consistent. To deny it. would be to fly
in the face of the laws of evidence, and would
evince stupidity, not caution.
If there is anything in which the judge
ment of human being may be relied upon.
it is the effect which remedy produces upon
him when sick. No one can be self-decciv-
ed as to the relief of pain, the renewal of
strength, the recovery of health and cheerful
ness; and when tens of thousands Of individ-
uals, spontaneously and without prc-concert,
unite in absorbing the same beneficient re-
suits to the same causes, their combined dec
larations as imperatively demand credence
as a mathematical demonstration. Upon this
basis rests the worldwide reputation of Pro-
fessor Holloway's Ointment and Pills.-Ner
Orleans "Orgdn."

As it seems daily more and more probable
that the Legislature will adopt the Police Bill
submitted to it, the aspirants for the offices
to be created are multiplying rapidly The
wleel-h horses that were wont to draw tie
Democratic chariot, even through the mud
diest places-the leaders that only pressed
forward in the traces when they desired to
direct its course-and the foUndered hacks
that are willing to go again into harness. are
all il. full trot towards the public crib. Their
saracious noses have scented the provender.
and with pricked ears and a whinny Of sat
isfaction, each is making such play as his
condition will permit, to outstrip his fellows
and secure a stall.-Bdh. Exchange.
A true exposition of the police bill for
Bait, is to secure places for the Democracy,
and not to correct abuses. Does any man in
his senses believe that Joshua Vansant could
possibly act in any other than a partizan pc
sition? Why. we have know him for years.
and we fearlessly assert. that there is not to
be found in the limits of the State more
violent partizan. The declaration that the
reform measures for Baltimore are not par;i-
IAN. is all balderlash Ii the Baltimoreans
are true to their ancient prestage, they viii
spit upon the police bill their enemies seem
determined to force upon them.
