The Time Tor Action.


The time for action is now upon us and we
hope that every true Democrat and Conser-
vative has made up his mind, and is already
at work. The timid and faint-hearted should
be chsered and encouraged-the over-coni-
dent exhorted not to relax their efforts.
Bring out the full strength Of the party. See
that none who are with US stay at home on
election day. This is the great work to be
accomplished and this should be the aim and
object of every lover Of bis party. Our nomi-
nees are doing their whole duty, it is true
but it will not do to trust exclusively to their
labors. Upon the rank and file of the party
must necessarily be devotved vast amount
Of work which cannot properly come within
the comparatively circumscribed field OF the
labors of the candidates. Each and every
member of the party should take an active
part in bringing out the whole vote. Last
year, although on the whole, we achieved a
most glorious campaign, we suffered sadly in
some of the districts from neglect to bring
out the full vote. Let not this be the case
again. Between this and the day of election
q great deal can be accomplished in excit-
ing proper degree of enthusiasm among the
people and in impressipg upon them the ne
cessity of every mans voting. Let this be
done and let every friend of the party aid in
doing it.

Texas and its Lesson.

The loss of Texas to the Republicans, ir
spite of the Ku-Klux act of Congress, the
practical proclamation Of martial law, and
the thoroush-going usurpations of Governor
Davis in behalf Of Grants Administration
proves that all the Southern States, with per-
haps one or two exceptions, will vote against
Gen. Grant should he be the Presidential
candidate 10 1872.
In all those States the Republican party
rests on the frailest foundations. Before the
war, during the war, aad for two years after
its close, there was no Republican party there
Just previous to the last Presidential election
an organization was improvised for the occa-
sion, made up almost entirely of negroes
|carpet-baggers, and Federal officeholders, the
former constituting the rahk aud file, and the
two latter classes the leaders.
These incongruous elements have been
seriously disintegrated by the political COLI
sions of the past two years. By taking sides
with those who are 10 favor of his renomina-
ton, and by bearing heavily upon all who
doubt the expediency of that measure, Gen.
Grant has drawn around his Administration
the worst portions of the Republican party
10 the South, and has alienated from even
the organization itself some Of its most skill
full and Influential leaders. In word, Gen.
Grant is destroying the Republican party
10 all the States below the Potomac and the
Ohio, and nothing can preserve any Of them
from falling into the hands of the opposition
next year except the nomination Of some
other candidate than the Great Disorganizer,
who spends his winters in the White House
at Washington and his summers in his gift
cottage at Long Branch.-N. 2. Sun.

Governor Bowie.

1t affords us great pleasure to give place IN
our columns to the following remarks from
the Marlborough Gazette of last week.
"Prince Georges county may we'll boast of
her line Of Governors. Within our own time
we may point with pride to the successful
administration of the lamented Pratt, whose
honest and manly course saved the State
from financial ruin And now the term of
service of another of her sons is about to ex-
pire with the plaudits of a well-satisfed peo-
pie Oden Bowie's administration of the State
affairs, as Governor will challenge the criti-
cism Of his enemies, and the admiration of his
friends; as an honest, fearless man, he has
braved every storm raised against the rights
of our old Com mOnwealth-aud history will
write his acts and deeds high on the roll Of
his honorable predecessors.
at gives us pleasure to reproduce the fol-
lowing just compliment which we find in the
Anne Arundel Aduertiser, an ably edited pa
per at Annapolis:
"A few more months and the gubernato-
rial term of Gov. Bowie will have ended
The present executive has made very eff
cient and honorable Chief Magistrate Of our
State. Personally, he is easy of approach
affable and courteous 10 manners, and devoid
of the slightest hauteur, which might be sup
posed to cling about the occupant of the chair
of State. Gov. Bowie has endeavored to do
his duty to the whole people of the State, and
although elected by the Democrats of Mary
land, he has been so impartial during his
term of Office that bis admirers can be even
numbered in the ranks of the Republican as
we'll as the Democratic party. He will take
with him, in his retirement to private life, our
personal wishes for his welfare, and should
the good people of the State call him again
into public life, if his conduct in the future
shall be as in the past, an able, faithful and
conscientious officer will be voucbsafed to bis
constituency"

Trust what Time has Sanctioned.

Trust what Time has Sanctioned.
The maxim that the voice of the people is the
voice of the divinity may in some cases, be open
to doubt, but the testimony of honest and en-
lightened witnesses extending through series
of years, and all to the same purport, is worthy
of credence, admits of no question. Upon such
testimony the reputation of Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters as an antidote and cure for many
ailments is based. During the twenty years
that it has been before the world, innumerable
preparations intended to compete with it, have
gone up like rockets, and come down the ex-
tinguished sticks. Meanwhile the progress of
that incompatible tonic has been swift and
steady-always upward and onward like the
eagles flight. It's introduction produced a re-
volution in therapeutics, and it proved to be
one of those salutary revolutions that cannot
go backwards. To-day Hostetter's Bitters is
one of the most popular remedies in christen-
dom, and commandsa larger sale than any 9th
er medicinal preparation, domestic or import
ed, on this side of the Atlantic. AS cure for
dyspepsia, bilious disorders, nervous affections,
general debility. and as a preventive OF cpl
demic fevers it takes precedence of every other
remedy . This fact should teach the ambitious
country dealers who endeavor to foist their 10
cal abortions on the public in its stead, how
futile their small attempts to cajole the COM
munity must necessarily be. Where the game
fish have failed there is no chance for the
tsSuckers"

The Presidency.

Because Pennsylvania and Ohio, have, for
the present, gone for the Radicals, it does not
follow, Of course, that it will be impossible to
elect man of Conservative political princi-
Piles as next President Of the U. S.; or that
those holding and maintaining Conservative
views, may not select as their candidate one

but on many, who would be acceptable to a
majority of the people. On the subject of a
Presidential candidate. however, there is full
time yet, to swat and see." We are not for
acting prematurely or hastily. 1t is perfectly
evident that Gen. Grant is to be the Radical
candidate; we do not yet know who it would
be best to unite upon as the anti-Radical can
date. But we are not for "giving up the
ship" Should the time come when we are
compelled to choose between Radicals
which we hope may not come-let judgment
and discretion rule 10 the choice.-Alerandria

Workinxmen Abroad.

The claims of the baudicraftsmen in Eng
land have bad a fine showing of late. Almost
every trade has had its strike, and several
their riots. The latest demonstration of the
kind occurred in Lincoln, hitherto one of the
most happy and contented places in the
realm, and it grew into riot of serious pro-
portions, dispensing the police, and badly
damaging the property of the masters
Strikes continue also in several parts of CONT
mental Europe, and it is now stated as certain
that the late conference of the Emperors of
Germany at Gastein resulted in an agreement,
to suppress the International Workingmen's
Society. TIE King of Italy, however, refused
to enter into the agreement, because, be al
legged, the Italian workingmen are opposed to
the Internationals.

Chicago.

By statistics of the late great fire at Chica-
go, it is shown that Of the $4,000 buildings in
the city, 1880 we're destroyed, and $4,000
persons rendered homeless. About 245 900
we're not directly injured by the fire. Though
the banks have nominally resumed business,
they are as yet doing but little, and discount
no regular commercial paper. The railroads
are lending the aid of their surplus funds in
the all important matter of moving produce
forward. Business generally is active, and
daily increasing in nearly every department,
but there are comparatively few buyers, as
money is rather scarce.

W.P. FLOWERS.
Our reply'to the above will be brief. Mr..
Flowers admits that he requested the publ
cation of the fact that he declined "to accept
the nomination." At the time of making the
request, however, he particularly asked that
the fact should be announced in the form Of
'card." In writing the card we gave but
mild and greatly touchdown expression Of
the Indignant feelings exhibited by him; in
fact, in the concluding part of the card, we
gave almost the exact language used by him
to several gentlemen in this village. Again,
knowing that Mr.. Flowers had heretofore
acted with the Democratic party and under
standing from unquestiQnable authority that
he had acted as presiding officer at late
primary meeting of our party at the Cross
Roads, we felt fully warranted in stating that
he.w was a Democrat and would remain one. !"
Besides, upon no other hypothesis could we
account for the tone of extreme Indignation
and apparent disgust with which he was
OVERLOOKING on the 10th inst. If Mr.. Flow
ers' sentiments have since changed, it is no
fault of ours but we do assert that the card
Of the 18th did not misrepresent him at that
time. In conclusion, we would advise Mr..
Flowers, that if he would fluid out the dis
tincton between Democracy and Republican
ism of the present day, or would learn the
governing characteristics of the latter, he
must look to other sources than the deini-
tons of the terms as found in the pages Of a
dictionary. Let him wake up to the realities
of the present and he will see, at once, that
the terms are widely distinct, and that it is
somewhat difficult to embody both in one at
the same time.

lining the old musty records defining the origi-

will shortly be agreed upon. Or it may be,
