good time Is coming for the Republicans "
Maryland. The days Of the Democratic party In
our good old Commonwealth are numbered, aud
We think the vote Of Maryland al the next 'rsi-
dcniial election will no longer be counted upon
for the Democratic nOnnecs. Indeed, We have
strong hopes that the successor ofGovernor Bow
ie will 10 slaunch Republican, and tina, We will,
by that tine, he living under form Of govern
mgni that will be both Republican and Democrat
&c, 10 the true sense aud meaning Of the latter
word--a government that will recognize the right
Of a majority Of the people 20 govern the Stale Ia

eyed ar governing CLASSES, aud tina, will ohliicf-
ate all distinctions Of race or color. When the
