The Day of Battle Draws Near.

DEMOCRATS and CONSERVATIVES of Mont
gomery, the day of battle is approaching.
TUESDAY NEXT will be the decisive day. Are
you ready for the conflict?
All that you now have 10 do, 10 achieve
brilliant victory, is to rally in all your force
TO the polls on the day of election. Stand by
each other like patriot hrothers-push forward
the Democratic columns, and make our tri-
umph worthy Of our county-worthy Of the
principles we support, and worthy of the
great questions at issue.
Rally then, Democrats and Conservatives
Rally if you would guard the institutions Of
our common countryl Rally Freemen of
Montgomery Ignorance, corruption ana I'M
principled ambition have combined their forces
against you. Their motley hosts are marshall
ed at midnight, and are not idle by day-their
emissaries are busy day and night. Let, there
fore, every one who prizes the free institutions
Of our countrywide believes that intelligence
should direct our aifairs-resolve TO labor for
the cause from now to the closing of the polls
on Tuesday next

Get Out the Vote.

The last word we have TO say to our poiti-
cal friends, in the different districts of this
county, shall be TO impress them with the vast
importance Of polling a full vote at the com-
ing election. Our majority in old Montgom-
cry can be made to exceed that Of last year,
if we but do your duty in this particular. The
Radicals are well aware that we have an over
whelming majority, and their only hope of
reducing ii is through apathy in our ranks.
We appeal to Democrats and Conservatives, all
over the county not TO crafty theT enemies
by remaining at home on election day. Every
consideration Of duty damands that you should
give at least one day to your country, and
that day should be spent in getting out a full
vote on Tuesday next, the 7lh day of Noyem-

Look out for Spurious Tickets.

All sorts of tickets will be in circulation on
the day of election; therefore, we earnestly
eutreat our Democratic Conservative friends
throughout the county to be careful of whom
they get tickets Every device will be resorted
to by the Radicals TO get votes for the mongre
ticket. If possible the Democratic Ticket will
be counterieited. Carefully scan every name,
and see that it is the right one, and in the
right place. There is every inducement for
them to counterfeit. Attempts will be made
10 vote tickets with such men as are considered
Democrats, who have been nominated by the
Radicals, and their names will be put upon
the regularly nominated Democratic Conserva-
tive ticket, and regular nominees taken off.
The Radicals do not expect TO succeed with
their mongre concern. Their only hope is
that they will pull down the majority of those
Democratic nominees who fell under the great
disp.easure of those who failed to receive a
Democratic nomination. Look well to your
tickets.

Reasons Why.

Every Democrat and Conservative should
vote against any so-called Democrat or
Conservative on the Radical ticket, for the
following reasons;
They are not true Democrats or Conserva-
tives, but only Radicals in disguise (and will
be treated as such in the future, spies 10 our
camp who seek 10 stab the party 90 which
they pretend to belong, in a secret and dastard-
y fashion.
man who abandons the Democratic or
gnnization, and makes an alliance with an
other party, possessing principles hostile to
the principles of Democracy, is making a fight
not against the shortcomings Of his party, but
against the life Of his party. lie is warning
against its principles, not its evils.
The place for a Democrat 10 protest. is at the
primary meeting, and in the convention.
If he goes to the polls to protest, linked hand
in hand with Radicals, he is not a protesting
Democrat, but new recruit to Radicalism.
To vote for any of these men would be to
endorse the corrupt and prohigate administra-
ton at Washington, and to sustain the de-
liberate and repeated infractons Of constitu-
tonal liberty, so glaring and shameful, that
they are beginning TO alarm and sartle allmen
who are jealous Of the rights of American
| freemen. Look at the proclamation of martial
lar, and the suspension Of the writ of habeas
corpus, in time Of profound peace under
which some of the best men Of the South have
just been arrested and imprisoned and women
and children forced TO fly for refuge Is this
republic of freemen, or is it an empire Of
slaves2
Again, this is the beginning of the Presi-
Dental campaign of 1872. Any reduction of
majorities compared with the former election,
will be represented as an endorsement to that
extent, of the infamous measures of the pre-
sent administration.
Besides, we think the Democratic Conserya-
tive. ticket will bear favorable comparison
with that nominated by the Radicals, and, on
the ground of merit, challenges the undivided
support Of the party Let every Democrat
and Conservative 20 TO work and elect it,

Be United-Be Active.

Never in the history Of the Democratic party
of Montgomery County, has there been an oc-
casion in which greater necessity for energy,
unity and action existed than at present. The
fact that large number OF negro voters will
again cast their ballots solidly for the Radical
nominees at the approaching election, should
prove the strongest incentive TO urge every
Democrat and Conservative forward TO his
duty, and cause him to redoube his efforts to
defeat party which proclaims the justice Of
lowering white man TO the level Of negro.
We feel confident that, with proper, united
action, we can give our ticket such a majority
as will effectually destroy the power Of negro
suffrage, in this county. The Mongrcl party
does not depend on its principles for support +;
it has no special claims upon the favor of the
people; it only boasts Of having lnrge negro
vote. But, with all the power of the negro
hosts marshalled against us, the Democratic
Conservative party of Montgomery County
have it in their hands to defeat their enemies,
and signalize a brilliant triumph for their par
ty and its standard-bearers 1t is alone
by apathy that we can fall short of an over
whelming victory over the combined powers
of Mongrelsm and we would therefore, once
more, earnestly warn every Democratic Con-
servative voter in the comfy of the transcen-
dent importance of the coming elction, and
Of the necessity Of every member of the party
working band in hand to defeat common
enemy. Stir up the lukewarm; forget fol
the time, all personal and local differences
bring out a full vote, and the result will be
the recording of such majority as will effect
ually veto negro domination and show to the
country that, in Montgomery county, white
men are determined TO rue.

ORDER OF PUBLICATION.
MARY r. BROOKBANK
VS..
JOHN B. BROOKBANK.
In tie Circuit Court for Montgomery
County, sitting as Court Of Equity.

rgNHE object Of This bill is to procure d.
L yorce q UiRcUi0 matrinOHu Of the com
planant, Mary X. Brook bank, from the de-
fendant, John b. Brookbank
The bill alleges that the complainant is
native of Montgomery County, in the Stale
Of Maryland, and was residing therein the
latter part Of the year 1861. That on the
l4th day of November, 1861. she was duly
and lawfully married in the City Of Washing
ton TO the said John B Brookbank, by the
Rev Byron Sunderland, aud that her name,
previous to said marriage, was Mary Il.
Spates.
The bill further states that sometime in the
year 1867 she returned with her said husband
10 the residence of her father, Robert Spaies
in said county, aud resided with her seid ia
lher until the spring of 1868; that in the
spring Of 1868 the said defendant left COM
Plainant at her fathers house, to be absent
an indefinite time, but, as she supposed, with
the intent 10 return; but that she has not
seen him since, and has not heard from him
since the spring OF 1869.
The bill further states that defendant left
complainant with one child, Ida Mary, now
about five years old, and that complainant
has had 10 support herself and her said child
by her own labor ever since the spring of
1868, aud that defendant has utterly
failed TO contribute particle to their support
or the support of either Of them that she
has over and again besonght the defendant TO
return 10 her, and TO aid her in the support
Of their said child, or herself, or BOTH but he
has failed and neglected 10 do so.
The bill further states that complainant
does not know, and after diligent inquiry has
been unable to ascertain where defendant now
is, but she has reason 20 believe that he is
somewhere on one of the Pacific railroads
and out OF this State.
The bill further states that the defendant
left complainant without any cause; that
they had lived together as happily as man
and wife usually do; but she has reason to
believe that the defendant, when he left com
plainapt in the spring Of 1868, intended to
desert her finally, and she charges that he
has so deserted and abandoned her, and that
there is no reasonable expectation that they
will ever be reeouciled
The bill further states that the said John
B. Brookbank resides out Of the Stale of
Maryland.
Ills thereupon, this 9th day of October,
1871
ADJUnGED AND ORDERED that the
complainant by causing copy Of this order
TO he inserted in some newspaper published
in Montgomery County once in each of four
successive weeks before the second day ofDe-
cember next, give notice 10 said absent de-
PENDANT Of the object and substance Of this
bill, and warn him 10 appear in this Court,
in person or by solicitor, on or before the
third Monday Of March next TO answer the
premises, and show cause, if any he has, why
a decree ought not to pass as pray ed.

BEWARE Democrats and Conservatives, be-
ware of ali tricks Of the Radicals. They will
make all sorts of propositions to induce you to
cut your county ticket. Go for the whole
ticket, from Governor down. Do not scratch
single name.
Remember that the Radicals, five years ago,
deprived all the Democrats and Conservatives,
as far as possible, from voting. Yet these men
will now ask for the suffrages of Democrats
and Conservatives, as they well know that
there is not strength enough in their own party
10 elect them.
