langaishing aud oppressed interest that

This will be about the proportion of
whites and blacks in all the southern
counties of the Western Shore, while
upon the Eastern Shore the proportion
Of blacks to whites will be less. The
number Of white Radicals on the East
ern Shore, however, is somewhat greater
than it is in the FIVE lower counties Of
the Western Shore, but it is conceded
that the Democratic and Conservatives
will still have decided majority there,
and will have no difficulty in returning

Gals with an appalling consciousness Of
guilt, like that which shook the Babylo-
MAN monarch, when, in the midst of
his orgies, no bchcld the mysterious

guilty faction is earnest of hope for the
Democracy. If the promise thus dawn.
ing on the hopes of the people shall be
realized, the real friends of liberty, of
free institutions resting on law for their
bcne6cence and perpetuity, have still a
future to be moulded and developed,
which will demand Of them speedy,
resolute, and persistent action, in order
to harmouize it with the interests of
humanity and the needs of modern
society. 1t is only by such action that
liberal institutions eau be won from the
grudgiug hand of arbitrary power. 1t
is only by such action that they can be
nurtured in safety and perpetuated in
the nature of glorious inheritance to
the generations that are to fellow. 1t
is just such action as the Democracy
now asks of its adherents. in order to

tive tenets Of Knownothingism, Capt Richie
refused to follow in the unholy crusade against
the Constitutional rights OF his adopted fellow
citizens Corrupt leaders Of the know-noth-
ing party tempted him with promises OF
brilliant career and fat offices, IL he would
give in his adhesion 10 their organization aud
unite ia their crusade, but his virtue and his
patriotism were proof against their batteries
and brides and, at time when democrats of
easy virtue were nightly taking the unlawful
oaths and the ranks Of the proscriptionists
were daily increasing threatening the over
throw of the democratic party, aud only tue
honest and the brave stood trm-JOhn Richie
nobly risked his political fortunes by eulisting
under the democratic banner. N0bly did he
battle on the stump throughout this county,
in every village and school house, where the
people could be called together (fOr years in a
hopeless minority,) in defence Of the rights Of
naturalizcd foreigners.
Then the corrupt party leaders who now a
DAYS affect so great love for Germans-were
crying out; ''put none but Americans on
guard" PRAYING for "a wall Of fire across the
Atlantic" to prevent foreign immigration, and
denouncing the "lopeared Dutch and the
sinking Paddy Irish"--0ur candidate having
severed his former political ties, was maniully
defending tho pcrsccuted and claiming for
them equality of rights, under the Constitution
and the laws, with native born citizens. Where
was Hon. JOHN 4. Smith, the Radical candi-
date, in those daysg In the ranks of the pro-
scriptionists shouting Put none but Americans
on guard-duwn with the lop-cared Dutch and
tho sinking paddy Irish. Now, we ask our
fOrcign-born citizens and their sons, to choose
between these two candidates for Congress-
Who will you vote for, Capt Ritchic-who
separated from his political associates in the
hour Of their assured triumph, and came to
your defense in the day Of your persecution
aud prescription, of ridieule aud opprobrious
denunciation-wheny on were represented as
the tools Of foreign drspots-or for the Hon. J.
Z. Smith, who note hugs the negro 10 his heart
Of hedris and would confer upon this untut0red
race, Of recently cmauoipalSd slaves, all those
rights, which years ago, he would have robbed
you Of, after they had been secured under the
Constitution and laws Of the land to which you
had sworn faithful aud true allegiance lnsen-
sible to every emotion Of gratitude--which is
often exhibited by animals of the brute orea-
tion-inust be the heart Of that loregn-born
citizen who can hesitate in giving 10 Capt

he kept them at bay by going where they

The Congressional Nominees.

In looking over the names of the gen
tlemen nominated by the Democratic
party for Congress in the several Con-
grcssional districts Of this State, Que
cannot but be impressed with the moral
aud intellectual worth of the gentlemen
who are the chosen standard bearers of
the party in the present campaign. They
are men who viii reflect honor upon the
State and tho Nation in the halls of
Congress, men Of moral worth and ex-
cclleuce as well as of high intellectual
culture. The names of Hambletou,
Archer, Swami, Richie and Merrick,
are names of which Maryland may be
proud, presenting as they do an array
Of talent which can scarcely be surpass
ed by any equal number Of Representa-.
tives in the Representative Hall. They
are men who challenge the respect and
admiration OF the citizens Of the State
at large and deserve their suffrage. Let
them be elected by decisive majorities.
