Cancerine is manufactured extensive

Cape May. This article is made from
the king crabs, which come up on the
shore in immense numbers to lay their
eggs. The crabs are collected aud
taken to the factory, where they are
heaped up in pens in large quantities,
and remain there for a few hours until
they die. The crabs, it is stated, do
not purify, but dry up, and when re-
dnced to this condition are thrown into

MEssRs. EDITORS An attempt was
made, in last weeks Sentinel, by a
writer who subscribes himself "An Ed.
ucator," to organize the Teachers In
stiiute, lately formed in this county,
into a political club to vote the radical
ticket for county commissioners at the
next election, because the levy for pub,
lie school purposes was not increased. l
do not believe that any teacher connect
ed with the Institute had anything to
do with that production or any knowl,
edge of it. The Institute is made up
of gentlemen of both political parties,
and it is an insult to suggest TO them
the turning of their organization into a
political club. Politics should be kept
out of the public schools, as il is easy
to see what harm would result TO all
concerned, il partizau purposes should
be attempted in connection with them,
The sum levied is seen to be inadequate
for school purposes, but more liberal
views will obtain, after awhile, and the
school fund will beyond doubt be brought
up to the requirements of the system,
when the subject shall have been more
fully considered. Rut to lay the un.
halIowcd hands Of party strife upon our
school system, would wo!k confusion
worse confounded. If levy of lif
teen or twehty cents had been made ior
school purposes, Instead of ten, this
same Educator would have shouted
"extravagauce" till he was hoarse. His
purpose is partizan, not educational, ms
is plain to be seen from the tenor of his
remarks. No true friend of education
would wish to see this subject mixed up
with party politics. Taxation is not
very acceptable to our people, for any
purpose, but if the advocates Of higher
compensation for teachers, (and am
among them) will appeal to the public
reason, anl manage the matter judi.
ciously, they will be able to accomplish
the end in view, by the time another
annual meeting rolls around. But il
they follow the suggestions of this pre-.
tended friend Educator" and make a
partizan question out OF it, the chances
are that long time will intervene be.

aud unimpassioned appeals be made to

ers Of the party in tho State campaign
The Convention by which they were
nominated assembled iu Baltimore on
Wednesday, the 10Th instant, and its
session though brief was orderly aud
harmonious, the utmost good feeling
pervading the entire body.
The ticket is one which will command
the united and enthusiastic support of
the party throughout the State. All
preferences for other candidates will
now be merged in desire for the sue.
cess of the gentlemen designated by the
Convention, and hearty co operation,
from the centre to the circumference OF
tAe State, for their triumphant election.
The Hon. William Pinkney Whyte,
candidate for Governor, was born in
Baltimore city, August 0, 1924, aud is
therefore, within few days Of being
forty seven years Of age. A lawyer by
profession, he has already been long and
prominently connected with the politics
Of this State aud the Democratic party
In 1647 he was elected to the Legisla,
ture from Baltimore city, serving one
term. In 1851 he ran for Congress
and was beaten by Hon. t. Yates Walsh
In 1853 he was elected by the Legisla
ture Comptroller Of the Treasury, which
Office he held until 1855. In 1857 he
was again candidate for Congress, and
again defeated, contested the seat of his
opponent upon the ground Of fraud, aud
obtained decision Of the Committee ou
Elections in his favor, which was lost
however, 10 the House by vote of 10G
to 97. In the winter Of 1868 0 Mr.
Whyte filed, by appointment of the
Governor, the vacancy 10 the United
States Senate occasioued by the accep
tance Of Mr.. Rcvcrdy johnson of the

Mr.. A. K. Syester, the candidate for
Attorney General, is from Washington
county, where he filed the important
Office Of States Attorney. He was a
member Of the constitutional conven.
tion Of 1867, and Of the Legislature Of
1868 and enjoys in his own portion Of
the State considerable reputation in his
profession. At an earlier period Mr..
Syester was candidate for Judge Of
the Court of Appeals in opposition to
Hon. James L. Bartol, at the first elcc-
