DLSFRANCIfLSIyG WHITE Mr.

DlSFHA NCifISING WHITE MEN
Poor men will begin 10 sec presently that
even their right TO the suffrage is called in
question by the party opposing universal
suffrage. AT the last session of the unani-
mousy Democratic Maryland Legislature
advantage was taken of the passage Of some
act amending the charter of Cheslcrtown
to tack on provision restricting the fran
shise at corporation elections in that town
to those holding real estate in their own
name or in right Of their wives. The citi-
zens of Chestertown were not aware that
the amendment contained such clause
Thus by one act large portion Of tile white
people of that town arc DISTINGUISHED for the
crime of being poor. without SO much us an
opportunity to offer a protest against The
passage of the act.
A meeting Of the voters Of the town was
held recently and resolutions were passed
dcnouncing the act and its promoters De
nunciation will, we opinc, be found not the
thing. A political party which scouts the
idea of mans natural right to the franchise.
which believes il a privilege which may be
withheld or extended at the pleasure Of those
in power, can offer no sufficient or satisiac-
tory guarantee that it will not disfranchisc
any set of men it may deem 10 its advantage
to deprive of their voting right.
No logical argument can be made against
the action above alluded to by peson who
does not accept the idea of mans inherent
right to the suffrage. II is the only ground
on which the poor man may boldly demand
his right to a voice in the affairs Of the Coy
eminent under which he lives, and without
il he cannot feel certain that the rights he
now exercises shall not be some day
abridged.
The only safety for the people lies in The
principle of Universal Suffrage, and il they
from foolish prejudices, oppose the primer
pie, and the party advocating it, they will
have to take the consequences, They arc
taking them at Chestertown, and already
cry out against and denounce those who
simply applied 10 them their own principles.

date for President He is looked upon by
the sharpest and most experienced politicians
as in all respects its most available man.
He is known to be the first choice of Presi-
dent johnson after himself The latter will
wield all the influence and patronage OF the
Administration for him, before and after

strong point. 1t is added that Johnson tlcs-
pises Pendleton, and thinks Hancock not so
strong as Chase. The Chief Justice himself

co UNITY POLI7ICS-THE NOMI-
Ma TION ELECTION.

The Republicans of New Castle county,
will hold their nomination election Tor Sher-
III and Coroner, ON Saturday OF this week.
These two officers, in addition of the Levy
Court Commissioners, are to be chosen at
the time of the next State and National cleo
ton, in November. -Four gentlemen offer
their names for Sheriff, two for Coroner, and
from them a good ticket and popular one
can be selected. Such one needs 10 be Sc
lected, in order that the Republican party
shall maintain its ascendancy in New Castle
county, and we trust that every opponent OF
the present protligate and unprinci7led party
who control our State politics is thor
oughly in earnest that this county shall re
main for the future, as 1t has been in the
past, distinguished for its opposition to the
corruptions of the Democratic party.
We repeat, as we have heretofore said,
that New Castle County does not belong to
the salisbury family. We do not desire To
be harnessed to the wheel of tho little clique
of Dover Democrats, and dashed in their
service. Their policy, so degrading. so re-
pressivc, SO unfortunate for the State AT
large, has brooded over us like an incubus,
at the best, but il we were TO fall completely
into their clutches, as unfortunate Kent and
Sussex have done, ii would sit upon the en-
ergies of our people, crush out enterprise,
and do us infinite Injury.
New Castle County is thus far free and
independent. The control of her business,
so far as it is in the hands of the Levy Court,
Sheriff, and Coroner, has been well admin
sonable complaint eve recognize the facr
that the present Sheriff is not Republican
of course.) To change the policy of tho
county, now, is to confess the correctness q
the position taken by the Democrats during
the war; to acquiescc in their State policy
to throw Wilmington into the arms o
Dover.
Fellow Republicans Of New Castle coun
ty, you must wake up! You must not los,
the control of the county. You need moi
unless you choose to. There is no majorit,
in ii for the SIusburys, nor for Salmon Il
Chase on Democratic platform. There i
no such candidate for Sheriff in the opposi
ton ranks, as the successful competitor o
'GG. Then let us see your activity on Satur
day. Let your interest in this nomination
election show that You are really alive, All,
mean to keep so. Your choice among tn
names mentioned cannot fall upon an I'M
worthy man, nor an unfit candidate, bu
some may help make a stronger team thai
Others. Let us have not only the best, bu
the most popular men.

THE AMERICAN AGRIouLTugIsT truly says
that ''muchness of land" is disease of the
American mind. "Ten Acres Enough" is a
stumbling block and foolishness. In En-
gland there are many farmers who support
large families on six acres and pay large
rents into the bargain. In Germany a
farmer calculates to support his family on
two acres, and get rich on the other three OF
his five-acre farm. None but market gar
deucrs, in this country, have formed any
adequate conception of the productiveness
of good land, when worked up to its full
capacity

Con. A. X. MCCLURE, writing to the Cham
bcrsburg RepOsi'Ory, on The failure of I'm
parchment, thus describes one Of the ''seycn
Senators" In;
VIM. Pitt Fcsscndcn is the ablest of the
Republican Senators, and ] believe the OIL
dcsi in service in the body. He is esteemed
pure and most sensitive gentlemcn-sen-
sitivc TO 4 degree approaching a disease.
with this element Of his organization, his
birth has had much to do. He is the natural
son Of his father, who is still n prominent
citizen Of Maine. His mother was an ac
compllshed member of the Greene family of
New Hampshire sister Of the able editor
of the Boston Post. Both his parents sub.
sequently married different parties, and the
father recognized and raised the son with a
family of ten children, all of whom have at
tanned Il high measure of usefulness and pop
ular respect in their different spheres. Ever
since the organization of the Republican
party, Mr. Fessenden has hoped to become
President. He was recognized as the Re-
publican leader in the Senate, as its ablest
and most honorcd champion, and why should
he not he President? While hope of ad-
vancement inspired him. he was ever true,
but when Wade was made President of the
Senate, he felt most keenly the mark of dis
trust thereby put upon him. From that hour
dates his decline and fail.
