The Young Mems Party.

The Republican party appeals strongly
to young men for their support. 1t is en-
phatically the party Of the rising genera
ton. 1t is completely affiliated with
the progress of the age, with the won
derful advance of mind over mater, Of the
ascendency of mental over brute force in
the government of the nations of the earth,
which has so strongly marked the present
century. In no other period of the world 8
history has despotism been compelled to
yield so much to public opinion, the sway
of kings been SO weak, and the wishes of
the people SO strong. The people of all
nations are looking to the United States as
the great pioneer in the path of liberty,
and drawing inspiration and hope from our
institutions. And at no period of the ma
TONS history has it lowered so sublimely
as the expounder of free government and
the rights of man, as it does at the present
day. Severed from the great moral leprosy
of slavery, it is no longer in theory alone,
what the Declaration of independence pro-
claims, but the living exponent of those
great principles first published to the
world by the patriots of '76.
The great battle now making in the cause
of rights to man, is being sustained, and
the victory pushed forward by the Repub-
lican party. 1t takes position upon high
ground, and appeals to the moral sense of
the people. 1t is never found fawning to
prejudice and the baser passions of the
ignorant. 1t is moral party in the
largest sense of the word ever vouchsafed
to any previous political organization. It's
mission is to lift the masses of mankind
from ignorance and moral depravity; and
by free schools, an intelligent and moral
press, to fit the rising generation for the
duties of free and Independent career, IN
which it will be felt, more emphatically than
ever before, that this is "a government of
the people, by thepeople and for the peo-
ple.'
Where ever the Republican party holds
control, the best interests of the people are
regarded. The public money is held as a
sacred trust, and the weak find relief
dHu JuSIlCc lToHl GHo oppression VI the
strong. The fossils so tenaciously chung
to by the Democratic party, which
the touchstone of experience, and the re-
quirements of the age have proven to be
lifeless, are discarded as useless trumpery,
and the golden promise of a better estate
than man has ever enjoyed ON earth, is held
up to the youth of our land
With such moral forces rs these, the Re-
publican party appeals to the young men
Of to-day, asking them to gather these
golden sheaves and preserve them as a rich
heritage for the generations of a future
time. While there is nothing but the
whitened bones of a dead past to contem-
plate in the Democratic party, Republican
principles have inspiration for the noblcst
souls, and a vigor of youth and freshness
about them, which appeal in the most pow
erful manner to the young men just coming
on the political stage to act their part in
this great republic.

sB- "A municipal election was held in
Baltimore on Wednesday last. Out of a
registration of A, 900 only Is, 900 votes were
polled. 1000 Republicans refused to vote,
preferring to leave the government Of the
city in the hands ofthe Democrats, to in
cnrring any responsibility in the present
deplorable condition of the city finances
The Democrats elected both branches of
the city council.

How Will You Vote Z.

On Tuesday next, the voters of this State
are called upon once more to pass in judge
ment, upon the policy which has been so
superlatively entitled to be termed the
spendthrift policy of the Copperhead party.
If they are able to rise above that deplora-
bic prejudice and bigotry which is the bane
of our politics, and address themselves
calmly, dispassionately to the work before
them; if they will bring to their aid the
practical, business common sense which
manages their farms, stores and work
shops, the present race Of professional poll
ticians, and public money thieves, which
constitute all that is seen and felt of the
Democratic or Copperhead party, will be
swept as chaft before the wind. We have
published from time time to facts and figures
taken from the records of the State and
county, showing the millions of the peoples
money these robbers have wasted and are
still wasting. These plain facts and figures
have not been denied because the proof is
too plain for denial or evasion. Tax-pay
ers who earn their living by incessant and
unremitting toll, and can lily afford to pay
the taxes which are squandered and absor-
bed by the thousand, without confering a
single benefit upon the public, have it in
their power, by using their rights as free
men and their business capacities, to stop this
tremendous waste and robbery of the public
money, by voting for Republican officers
The record Of the two parties in their fl
nancial transactions has been published,
showing Republican economy in contrast
with Democratic waste and extravaganza.
1t is unnecessary to recapitulate. All
know the story. Are you going to enjoy
that luxury Of voting ticketlabled "Dem-
ocratic" at the frightful cost it is sure to
entail, or taking your everyday, practical,
business ideas to the polls with you, vote
for the party of light taxes and economical
expenditure of the peoples money?

Voters I!

Tuesday next is the day you are called
upon to go to the polls and choose a Sena-
tor and Delegates to represent this coun-
ty in the Legislature and 3 County Com
missioners to manage the taxes of the
county. Remember the last Democratic
Legislature appropriated $s,61s, $50 and
passed "bounty bill" of $4,000, 600, and
that the present Board of County Commits
sioners have appropriated one hundred and
eighty five thousand three hundred and
fifty-eight dollars to defray the expense of
this county for two years.

Don Piatt, in letter to the Cincin-
natl Commercial, draws the following
pen portrait OF Senator Sumner, of Mas
sachusetts
The Senator's domineering does not
amount to much in the Senate. So long
as he runs with the current, so long as
he is the leader, bus he carries no
weight such as tlat of Morton, when he
turns. He is personally unpopular,
and sometimes offensive. / wonder,
when looking down upon him from the
gallery, at the revolution that has oc-
Cured in the last twelve years. He Row
threatens and bullies, when then he had
not even person to speak. remember
we'll the bright sunny day when he
made the attack that brought upon him
that fearful assault. He was dressed in
light sack coat, with white panta-
looms. His hair was oiled and curled,
and his linen Immaculate. He spoke
with ease and tluency, without writ
ten page or note near him. And the
Senate listened attentively while he
poured ont his bitter deuunciations and
biting personalities. 1t was in the old
Senate Chamber, and l stood back of
the Vice Presidents chair-and along
the vacant space by the windows that
were open, with the soft air and the
bright sunlight flowing in, Stephen A.
Douglas walked, pausing at intervals to
listen. At the end of one of these he
said to me, in an uadertone, that d-d
fool will get himself killed by some
other id fool"
The said day the said id fool came
very near being killed by Brooks.

. Rou,an1ic Sensation spoiled

We recently published a pathetic
tale, copied from a New Orleans paper,
about a young, beautiful and wealthy
Cuban damsel, who, while waving an
American flag from her fathers box, In
q Havana theatre, was shot dead by a
blood thirsty Spaniard, who in turn
had his head instantly shot off by a
brave American who happened to be
standing near the senorita when the
Spanish bullet pierced her heart. The
Havana correspondent of New York
paper spoils the whole story by saying
that on the night of the Havana riot,
when the affair was alleged to have
taken place, the senorita was not in her
fathers box at the theatre; that her
father has no box at the theatre; that
there are no boxes in the theatre where
the riot occurred; that the senorita was
not in Havana the night of the riot;
that no woman was shot at the afore-
said theatre, nor was any Spaniard shot
by any American for shooting any
woman.

England and the Alabama n

Mr.. Reverdy Johnson made revels-
tion, in his speech on the history of the
Alabama negotiations at Glasgow,
which ought at once to reconcile Amer
lea with England. 1t appears, accord
ing to Earl Russell, "whose mind" Mr..
johnson is civil enough to say, sis as
good and as clear as ever" that the real
reason why England permitted the Ala
bama to get out to sea was that the Off
cial by the help of whom Earl Russell
intended to stop her was partially in
sane" This excellent person "got his
senses back afterwards" but in the
meantime the Alabama had escaped and
went burning and destroying all over
the seas. Now, as we have settled it in
our courts that man who is insane at
the moment when he shoots one of his
acquaintances cannot be held response
BILE for the shooting, even though be
should "get back his senses" five seconds
afterwards, it is plain, we think, that
England ought to be held perfectly in
nocent of all wrong done to US in conse-
auence of this temporary and partial in
sanity of the man without whom her
Majesty's government could not presume
to attempt to execute her Majesty's 8
laws. Let us kiss then, and make
friends. But-who was the man =
