Here are utterances of three ncted
individuals /:
Grant-''I shall have no policy of
my own to interfere against the peo-
ple."
Andrew Jackson-"I can say again,
fellow-citizens, remember the fate OF
ancient Rome, and vote for no candi-
date who will not tell you with the
frankness of an independent freeman
tie principles upon which, if elected,
he will administer your government"
Henry Clay-"If my suffrage is asked
for the highest civil Office of my coun-
try, the candidate, however illustrious
and successful he may be, must present
some other titles than laurels, however
gloriously gathered on the blood stained
battle field"

become of the millions upon millions of
dollars that have, been paid into the
public treasury since the introduction
of his party into power-that there is
no account of now. g.s}flgff,4
MAKE HIM TELL YOU why it is
that with all the taxes and tariffs that
are wruns from the people annually, the
public debt is still increasing at the rate
Of ten millions OF dollars per month.

party makes negro voters in all the
States Of the South, and then denies
being in favor of negro suffrage here in
the North. f.eo ,.,..-.15. f,,..

COMMUNICATED.
Judge Hanill.


The earnest struggle which took place be-
tween the friends of the rival candidates for
nomination in the Congressional Convention
which met at Hagerstown, on the 9th of Sep
tember, ultimo, and By adjournment, at Fred
erick on the 22d of same month, was much to
be regretted. But the kind and courteous de-
meanor of each and every member towards one
another was source of great qualification to
every friend of the good cause in the Congress
sional District. The happy result of the lahors
of the Convention, has been a source of great
rejoicing to our friends everywhere. As the
friends of neither of the prominent candidates
could be grati6ed with their choice, feel con-
fident that they could not have selected any
gentleman, in the Congressional District, more
truly acceptable to our friends, than Judge
HAMILL, of Allegany. The unsulled purity
of his private life, his high moral character,
his unswerving. political consistency, recon-
mend him as gentleman peculiarly fitted for
the high and honorable position for which he
has been nominated. No man every possessed
more firmness and decision of character than
Judge Hamill. Although he was beset ON all
sides, during the late unfortunate war, by the
minions of AboIitionism, he never departed, in
the slightest degree, from his devotion to the
true intent and meaning of the Constitution of
his beloved country, that great and good in
strument; and the writings and political teach
ings of Madison, Jefferson, Monroe and Jack
SON have, from his earliest manhood, been the
object of his political idolatry. Although he
was pursued, during the whole war, by the
fiery zeal of political bigots, and threatened
with the violence of Yankee bayonets, and de-
prived of the right of suffrage, he never quailed
before the heather God of Abolitionism, but
was ready at all times to offer up his liberty or
his life, in defence of the time honored princi-
pies of the Democratic Party, of which he has
| been a firm and Jealous member from his child
hood.
Judge Hamill is native of Allegany coun-
ty, and has faithfully represented her in the
Legislature, and was for many years one of the
Judges of the Orphans Court of that county,
and is at this time the Chief Judge of that body.
He has held many other important offices in
| his native county. From his earliest youth he
has been jealous and consistent member ol
one of our christian churches. He is deserved
ly one of the most popular men in his county
and the result of the approaching election will
| abundantly prove that fact

Horatio Seymour, was. never, known
to utter profane oath,, to tell vulgar
story or obscene anecdote, to be under
the influence Of liquor, to enter gamb-
ler's den, or house Of i'll fame. The
reverse of this in all respects is Grant,
the candidate of the party of great NOR
al ideas. We suppose the puritan ;clerr
gy who support Grant, do it on the
principle that the worse the man, the
better the chance of conversion.
