FOR TH5 SENINEL.
The Friends of Sandy Spring hav, been
drawn into public notice which they lid not
covet, through the recent exercise, On the
part of several individuals belonging y their
body, Of a simple right guaranteed b every
citizen Of our Republic Believing that the
time has come when il is especially incumbent
on all the members of the community to un-
derstand and do justice to one anothos deem
that fit occasion has thus arisen fo1making
few remarks on the position and character
of people, who have certainly beh misun-
dcrstood
BY way Of commencement, let mastsk, agho
are " the Quaker Friends " OF Sand Spring
Are they netc-ooR'ers into our counJ, bring
ing with them, from some Northeh section,
habits and doctrines hostile to the fest Of its
citizens Let their history anScr these
questions. The ancestors of thei principal
families of this people removed to ihis ncigh-
borhood, at n very early pcriodg from the
lower counties of Mary land, and from Nir-
ginia. They were among the frsg white men
who penetrated the primeyal wilderness,
which was long after organizedhnto Mont
gomery county. They cleared khe forests
and subdued the wilds; built comfortable
| dwellings, a Westinghouse, ind school
house; and left TO their descendants, the pre-
sent occupants of the neighborlidod the work
of carrying on the improvements which their
/ forcfathers had begun. These Friends Of the
olden times associated in the host friendly
manner, with their pioneer nei5hbors. | find
in many ancient documents respecting landed
estates, that the Brookes, the Bowies, and
other principal men, among the early settlers,
acted together in performing yhrious kind and
! neghborly Offices and the Same spirit has
continued TO peryade the intercourse of these
| people with all in iheir vicinity, down to the
/ present time. They have Borne their fair
share of the burdens of tie county; they
have contributed their fair share to the i'm
proyements which have lately given it name
among its sister counties. md they are in
every way identified with It's interests and its
4 destiny.
But the Friends are accused Of holding
opinions on the subject Of slavery, which are
urged against the propriety Of their taking
part in public affairs at this critical junciure.
II is due TO them, and to The rest of the com
munity, that the truth about this matter,
should be told. Let us again refer briefly to
their history.
About the year l772, the Baltimore yearly
meeting directed the attention OF its members
to this subject. After long and quiet delibe-
ration, uniniiuenced by outside nressnre the
Friends came to the conclusion that their own
members ought to give up the practice Of
holding slaves. Non-sliveholding was thus
made one Of their domestic Institutions. But
they Rerer undertook the charge Of the eoascieE-
ecs OF other people, on that or any other mat
ter. Their testimony in relation to this
! subject affects themselves alone.

NOVEMBER ELECTIONS.

Aug. Wm. Bradford, Unconditional
Itplonist, is elected Governor of MARY
LAND by a 2 to one vote in large poll.
Every County heard from Is for the
Union. Some undoubted Rebels were
captured, but no legal voter was obstruct-
ed in his right.
NEW JERSEY-No State Ticket.
In the Legislature, all profess to be War
men, but those chosen on Union Tickets
hold the balance of power.
MASSACHUSETTS elects ANDREW
for Governor, and the whole Republican
State Ticket, by $4,000 maj. on light
vote. Legislature is overwhelmingly
Republican. We gain one Congressman
-SA. HOOPER, Rep, having 900 maj.
over G. B. Upton, Dem, in the District
which last year gave 800 maj against A.
Burlingame. Mr.. Appleton, then elect
ed has resigned.
NEW YORK State gives stupen.
dous majority against Democracy, on
State Ticket, and in Legislature. ln
New York City, even, the maj. is for the
Union State Ticket -Four tickets were
run for County Officers, and the Demo-
Gratis carried most Of them by lack OF
"union' among "unionlsts.
The Potter journal. [volume] (Coudersport, Pa.) 1857-1872, 1861-11-20

The victory at Port Royal greatly dc.
pressed the Rebels and encouraged the
Union men, of whom there are large
numbers.
Fifteen thousand men are now at An
napolis, ready to embark. Their destiHs-
tion is unknown, but the current rumog
is that they will re-enforce Gen Sher-
man, while another destination is assigned
to them by others.
The Georgia Planters Convention re.
commend that II case the war continues
and the present cotton crop remains un.
sold no crop shnuld be planted next year.

DEATH OF GEN. HoUsToN-Memphis
papers of a recent date announce the
death of the old hero of San Jacinto, Sam
Houston, who is reported to have died on

Benton, etc. Scott has just retired,

against bis country, or after the Union
shall have been thoroughly restored and
this treason crushed out with heavy
hand.
