AN IMPORTANT MANIFESTO FROM THEP. w.
d b. K. r. Coin this issue we publish an
important letter from Mr.. Hinckley, Pre- ident
ct the Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore
X K. Co., to the State Treasurer of this State,
refusing to pay to the State, after the first of
November next, the tax of ten cents on each
passenger who comes into goes out of, or
through the State after that late The Com-
pany however is willing to pay the tax ON pas
sengers travelling from point to point in the
State so long as the people consent to it. The
refusal is based upon the unconstItutionality
of the law, which'the Company stand prepared
to St.
In all probability this ac;iun OF the Com.
pany will lead to one OF the most important
cases of litigation that has ever tran>p pired in
our courts. Should they sustain their action
the fares on the roads under their control Will
be reduced, we suppose, for the ten cents are
collected from the passengers by them and
handed over to the State.

Our TICKET ticket made out and
nominated by the county convention last Thurs
day meets with general approval in the party
All the candidates are men of influence, and
enjoy high social standing in the community.
The Democrats, many of them, freely admit
that it is good ticket, and some even confess
that, as whole, it is better ticket than their
own. Every Republican is willing TO look
upon the nominees as representative men, not
merely in party sense, but in every respect.
Though there is no prospect of electing them,
still we have strong ticket to "go through
the motions with, and we hope every mem
Der of the party will feel it his duty to vote,
not merely as an expression of his principles,
but as a mark of respect to the candidates.
