On the Stump.

H. R. Torbert, Esq, Republican candi-
date for Congress, of the First District of
Maryland, will start on Monday next, to
make canvass of the southern counties OF
the Eastern Shore. He will speak at all the
principal towns on the Shore, and we pre-.
dict will make friends and gain prestige
wherever he is heard. Mr.. Torbert repre-
sents the young Republicans of Maryland:
with the elan which youth and the conscious
ness of a just cause inspire. Such are the
future, as the curse of slavery rolls its shad-
ows away before the light of purer liberty,
and its scowling prejudices, its dark deeds
and horrors pass with the men and the party
who now uphold them.
Hon. J. A J. Creswel left town on Fri
day last to make speeches for Grant and
Colfax in Michigan. He will remain in that
State till the 10th and then devote the re-
mainder of the time till the Presidential
election in speaking in New Y ork and Penn
sylvania. Republicans of Maryland are
loath to part with their favorite orator, but
Great Cause has need of his services en-
other fields and we must let him go where a
defeat of the enemy will prove his overthrow
in Maryland also. AS Charleston fell be-
fore the proves Fisherman with his army a
hundred miles away, so Maryland Democra-
cy wall 60 down in that party's national
ruin.

Club Meetings.

H. R. Torbert, Esq, addressed the Grant
and Colfax Club of the Sd District, which
was formed on Saturday night last. Up
ward of 70 names were enrolled. The Club
will meet this evening in the Court House
Speakers will be present to address the
meeting. We hope that every member will
consider he is enlisted for an active cam
paign, and Will feel that he has volunteered
to work for the cause he has espoused. To
sign the roll and sit quietly down is not the
object had in view by the organization Of
camp-map clubs. Every member should be
active in canvassing his immediate neigh
Place documents in the hands of those who
desire only to know the duty of patriot to
perform it. Teach all such to understand
the true issues between the two parties, and
labor to disabuse their minds of the false
hood which has been so industriously sown
by the rebel Democratic party. Silent, earn.
est, individual labor is more effective than
much public speaking and display. The
present campaign challenges the thoughts Of
the people, and is infinitely above a music
and banner display, which is sometimes the
leading feature in a political canvass.
We intend this advice not for any particu-
lar club, but for all the Grant Clubs in the
county. We have documents for distrbu-
ton, and any club that has not been sup
piled, can be furnished by sending to this
office
