tleman who would engage in the movement. 1T
is no time to stand for party; the interests Of
our county-interests common alike to Demo-
Gratis and Republicans-are at stake, and move
ment should be inaugurated by which q strong
delegation whether OF Democrats or Republicans
it matters not, should he sent to the Legislature.
Whether the present movement for an independ-
ent ticket means anything or not, we do not
know but there should he one formed and,
with proper management, ii will win. The peo-
pie of Baltimore county are deeply interested in
the proceedings of the next General Assembly,
and she should be represented there by her best
men, by men able to defend her, 10 advocate
measures for her good, and to effectively oppose
all efforts at her disintegration. Honest men olthe
democratic faith are admitting on every side that
their ticket is not the for the times, that the
gentlemen selected as candidates for delegates
were nominations eminently not fit to be made (;
will they not come out now and correct the
work of their Convention
In writing this, and in opposing the election
of the democratic legislative ticket, we have no
thought at heart but the good of the county
The gentlemen already named as candidates, or
at least several of them are our personal friends,
for whom we have very high regard, and on
the score of politics, we would just as soon see
them elected as any Others of their faith; but
they are young, inexperienced and incompetent
and cannot be expected to cope with the formid-
able representatives of other counties which will
assemble at Annapolis next winter. 1t is ac
knowledged that the next will be an important
session of our State council-that the legislative
business transacted will be greatly to our wea
or woe. AT such a time, in such body, where
such great interests are involved, are the people
of Baltimore county willing 10 be- represented

Necessitu for RepubLic0niSna.

If there is one thing which contra istin-
cuisines the Republican party from the sono-
rous democracy, it is the regard it has for the
contracts of the Government with its citizens.
With all Republicans national honor is just as
sacred as individual honor; with democrats
national honet il thing to be violated at
pleasure. FRepublicans maintain national
obligations iasIDs but is fully committed to a
reduction of the debt as rapidly as economy
and good management can accomplish it
The democratic party has not yet made dec
laration respecting finances that does not in
some way show design or a wish to weaken
public credit and nullify national compacts
The Republican party has SO curtai!ed the
expenses of the Government, and SO rigidly
insists upon the faithful execution of the rev
enue laws, that all its pledges are now under
going fulfilment. The faith of the contracts is
being vindicated and the debt is being reduced,
while the bonds-the representatives of that
debt-are of such value as to approximate the
price of gold. The democratic party is busily
at work carrying out its pledge to invalidate
Government securities and make them rags in
the market. On every side, by platform and
by speech, we see and hear the Pendletonian
doctrine upheld. The country is to be flooded
with currency as the Southern Confederacy was
with scrip. The Government is to aid and abet
one of the most gigantic swindles upon its cit
liens known to history From every demo-
cratic source also come those covert attacks up
on our industries prompted by the dogmatism
of free trade. An industrial revolution is aim
ed at which is to sap public confidence, unset
tie values, and divert trade from its natural
home into unnatural foreign channels. With
custom as a source of revenue cut off, with pan
ic among laboring men and capitalists, with
| every avenue of acquiring wealth and increas-
ing material prosperity closed, it is hoped that
the nation will be compelled by circumstances
to succumb to the doctrine of the regulators.
Jus. as the Republican party a necessity
during the war, to save the nation from armed
traitors, so now it is necessity to save it from
financial traitors. National permanence and
national prosperity depend upon political vic
tories now as they did upon military victories
then. Choose we in which army to serve.

va We see it stated in the correspondence
from the national Metropolis that President
Grants economy in the administration OF public
affairs in destroying the trade of Washington.
The extra office-holders, lobbymen, contractors
and Indian agents who swarmed by thousands
around the public departments under the ill-star-
red administration of Andrew johnson, have all
departed we trust never more to return. This is
bad in a pecuniary sense for Washington but
good for the whole country, and it indicates a
better and purer future for the nation The cor
rupt reign of Johusonism drew to Washington
host of cormorants who fattened on the public
treasury by means of false claims, and millions
were consequently lost to the country. How
true it is that the Republican party is the party
of economy and retrenchmeut

A COMET CoMING.-Scientific astronomers pre
dicted ten years ago that during the months of
July, August and September, 1869, the most
wonderful comet the world had ever known
would approach nearer the earth than any ever
had before, and that either the comet or the
earth would have to change its course, or
collision would be inevitable. According to
astronomers, it was this comet that Immediate
ly preceded the terrible civil wars of Greece
and was Immediately followed by the great
contagion in Persia and other eastern countries,
a most direful plague that swept from the
earth, in few weeks, one half of the people
of the country visited by it. Some years after
this comet appeared again, and was preceded
by most terrible civil war in Rome, and fol-
lowed by plague or scourge that piled the
dead up in heaps in the streets of that proud
but corrupt city, until there was scarcely
enough persons left to bury the dead. The
comet is now visible, having made its appear
ance "nearly on time" thus verifying the pre-
diction of the astronomers, "without postpone
E" ment on account of the weather" 1t may be
seen with the naked eye on any clear night, in
the Northern part of the heavens, after / or
2 o'clock, and from that time till day light
II will grow brighter as it approaches the
earth.

DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES chronicle the fol-
lowing claimed Democratic victories in electiois
that have taken place this year, thus far;
Alabama election, IL, 900 Republican majority
42SO for Grant ten months ago.
Kentucky election, between 40, 900 and Sc 900
Democratic majority. One year ago near s0,-
900. We noted roosers in several Democratic
papers growing over this result.
Virginia election, a negro suffrage governor
less than 1000 Republican votes nine years ago,
out of total vote of over l65 900. Claimed this
year as great Democratic victory, although
there was no straight Democratic ticket in the
field.
Tennessee has this year elected a negro suffrage
Governor No out-and-out Democratic ticket was
placed in the field yet great Den ocraic victory
is claimed, with the Brownlow, negro suffrage
party victorious.
If Democrats can receive encouragement from
such glorious victories, the present outlook indi
Gates their happiness will be complete ere the
