Republican Meetings.

We invite both parties to attend the
Republican Meetings advertised to be held
at different points in the County next week.
The meetings, with the exception of the
one at Cecilton, will be held in the even
ings; which will be, if clear, very pleasant
and moonlight. Able and truthful address,
es will be delivered at these meetings by
Henry r. Torbert, Esq, and other distin-
guished speakers. The clap-trap, hum-bug
and misrepresentation so industriously
circulated by Col. Hambleton and his
assistants will suffer dissection at the hands
of the Republican speakers. If Demo-
Gratis wish to learn how their leaders are
attempting to grossly deceive them, let
them attend these meetings.

Brutality of Democratic Officials.

A Republican mass meeting was held at
Denton, Caroline county, on the Goth inst
The meeting was very large, and a stand
had been prepared in the open air, in front
of the Court House, for the speakers. The
day was dark and lowering, and about II
o'clock the rain began to descend in tor
rents. A letter from that county to the
Baltimore american says:
GA polite note was sent to the janitor of
the building requesting the keys of the
house, as the Republican party desired to
hold mass meeting. The reply received
was that the Commissioners elected by
Democratic votes) had passed resolution
prohibiting the use of the Courtroom for
any political purpose whatever, when not
three weeks before the Democrats of the
county had held their meeting i'll the very
same place. Nobly did the candidate of
the District, Henry r. Torbert, Esq, tell
the old bloated Democracy. as they looked
out from the upper rooms of the building,
how, upon the eighth day of November, the
tables would be turned. The rain de-
scended, but the speakers barred their
heads, braved the elements, and gave
utterance to sound, logical and patriotic
WHICH, WeIc dpplduueu
by the assembled multitude"
The Democracy were heartily ashamed
of the action of their Commissioners, and
the Journal, their county organ, makes the
following comments OH the disreputable
affair:
"THE CLOSING OF THE COURT HOUSE,
We regret that our Republican friends
we've excluded ON the use of the Court
House on Thursday. The lesl onsibility
may rest where it deserves, but we cannot
but enter our protest against an action,
sanctioned as it may be by official power,
which partakes SO strongly of the appear
ance of prescription. A dumb beast would
have deserved sh liter from the storm of
Thursday, but the imperial mandate of the
Commissioners excluded human beings
from protection from its merciless peltings
What is "sauce for the goose should be
sauce for the gander," and if this is pre-
cedent let its operation not be limited to
party or sect. To say the least, popular
sentiment is against the action of the hon
orable Board in this Natter

Blowing.

The last resort of the played-out DEM
ocracy of this county appears to be bloaoing
1t would seem that they imagine the Re-
publican party to be kind Of Jericho which
they propose to blow down. Apparently
with some such notion they have gone to
work on it with wind instruments, COM
posed of horns and fossil politicians. The
.Strahorn band-remarkable coincidence in
the name and purpose-furnish the parade
and airs. Every Saturday evening the
band-wagon, filled with uniformed musi-
clans, and directed by Captain Henry, in
front, drives through the streets of Elkton,
followed by a troupe of yelling boys
Main street has to be satisfied with sight
of the pageant, and perhaps few slaves
and demisemiquavers, but the choicest
music in their horns is dispensed in Back
street, where the "American citizens of
African descent" reside in large numbers.
Dusky ears are delighted with rich strains
of " Come where my love lies dreaming"
and "Sherman's march through Georgia."
Notwithstanding this soothing and 'woo-
ing never so wisely" the "man and bro
ther" don't seem to be particularly capti-
waited. He shows no special desire to fol-
low ''Sherman's March," OF go "Where
my love lies dreaming" Like Artemus
Ward, he doubtless thinks it wouldn't be
right to indulge in the latter spectacle.
The speaking is considered, by the speak
ers, at least, as captivating as the horn
blowing, as was manifest by one of the
best orators of those refreshing occasions,
who was discussing the last meeting. He
said his ideas were singularly barren, and
that he could not get at what he wished to
say. .But," said he, "it's no difference
what we say so as we make them believe
itr' And just here is where the hope of
that party rests for success. There is
nothing true in their history or principles
that will make proselites or keep honest
men in the party, and if their speakers can
"make them believe" the gross misrepre-
sentations which they, like Falstaff, swear
till the universe changes color, are true,
''it's no difference" We publish on our
first page an exposure of the falsehood
which the rebel party are industriously
spreading in regard to our national finances,
which we invite those who have heard the
exaggeration of their speakers, to carefully
study, and they will be convinced that
their representations on this subject are a
"refuge of lies"
Blowing is their sole hope of success
They offer nothing that is convincing. 1t
is blare and glare of brass horns and coal
oil lamps, followed by an orator in a speech
filled with Misrepresentation and contra
dictory arguments. The whole Democratic
party is rotten to the core, with less saving
virtue in it than Sodom when the Lord
rained fire and birthstone upon that devoted
citv

EmiDently Practical.

There is law for the promotion of
quiet and good order on the days of elec
tion in this State, requiring all places
where spirituous liquors are retailed, which
are near an election poll, to be closed dur
ing the hours Of voting. 1t has been Gus
tomary, heretofore, for the Sheriff to give
notice of this law, prior to the elections, by
inserting an advertisement in each of the
county papers. Our Sheriff being an emi-
nently practical man, and an officer of
Reconsideration, discovered that violations
of the whisky law, when committed, invaria-
bly, originated among the Democratic party,
and by a logical deduction, determined
that for all practical purposes, the notice
inserted in Tile Democrat would be abun-
dainty sufficient. We commend this con-
clusion as most common-sense and bust
ness-like.

Speak to Your NeighbOr.

But little more than week will elapse
before every freeman in Maryland will be
called on to cast his vote. That vote will
be thrown either for the veal or woe of his
country. Have you thoughtfully consid-
cred of what momentuos Importance the
casting of ballot is There is all the differ
ence between Government of the people
by the people and for the people," and a
personal OF despotic Government like that
of France under the iron rule of Napoleon.
If you cast your ballot on the Sth of
November as the ignorant French people
did when they voted for Napoleon, without
knowing what kind of political principles
you are aiding by that vote to establish
you may, like the French, be preparing
your necks for yoke as CALLING as they
have bowed under for the last 1S years.
If you vote for the Democratic party,
you vote to wipe out the public debt by
reputation, and general prostration, bank
ruptcy, ruin to public credit, and national
disgrace. You vote to pay the rebel debt,
reward British bondholders of that debt
who supplied the funds and arms to carry
on the rebellion, which piled up our ma
tional debt and made vacant seat in every
home. You vote for pensicning rebel SOL
diers, and returning the colored man to a
state of slavery worse ten times than that
from which he has been freed. You vote
for the decline of free schools, Of American
manufactures, and with that decline still
lower prices for the farmers produce. You
vote to open our markets for manufactured
articles made by the starving laborers in
the mills of Europe, and general bank
ruptcy to our manufacturing industries.
Are you desirous to open this Democratic
pandora box? When you voted the DEM
ocratic party in power in Maryland, you
voted 1000, 900 of debt upon the State at
one session of the Legislature. You voted
an army of office-holders on the State to
eat up its substance such as never preyed
on it before. You voted real estate in
Maryland from a brisk market and high
prices to nominal values by bringing debt
with its accumulated load of taxation upon
the property of the State. Do you desire
that the Democratic party shall do for the
nation what they have done for this State,
and more consume almost as much of the
peoples money in a single year as the
Republican party did in five years?
If you wish to avoid repetition of these
disasters, and commence putting our old
State again on the road to prosperity,
speak to your neighbor, and point out to
him the reckless horde of office-holders and
hunters which crowd the Democratic ranks:
and the waste, robbery and extravaganza
which have marked every step of that
party where it is allowed to assume con-
troll. Point him to the City of New York,
governed by irresponsible Democratic
leaders, where the tax for city Government
amounts to $2S per capita, or per head of
the people. Point your neighbor to these
facts, and show him that it is not only his
duty, but his interest to vote the Republi-
can ticket, sustain the Republican party in
power in the nation, and prepare to over
throw the false and corrupt Democratic
power in this State.

This conscience salve used by the Cop
perhead party to wheadle we'll meaning

Piles at heart, is given special emphasis this
Fall by the Democratic leaders. Last year
they entirely dropped it in most of the
counties of Maryland. In this county it
was retained as kind of official appendage.

on the term, and advertise their gatherings

War News.

King William has telegraphed to Queen
Augusta that Metz was surrendered on
Thursday to the German forces beseiging
it. Bazaine's army, which laid down its
arms during the afternoon, numbered one
hundred and fifty thousands, of whom
twenty thousands were sick or wounded.
The capture of the strongest position in
France, outside of Paris, and the army
defending it, will release from active opcr-
ations the entire command of Prince Fred
erick Charles, which has been occupied in
the seige of Metz since the middle of
August. French accounts claim that
Garibaldi has won important victories in
the Vosges, thereby checking the advance
of the German army on Lyons. The forces
north of Paris which were threatening
Amiens have fallen back to Loan and
Abandoned St. Quentin. A division of
twelve thousand Prussians have occupied
Dreux, twenty-seven miles southwest of
Paris. The position of the armies of the
Loire are unchanged.
