Letter from PooleaYille.


spectacle turn out of the white voters OF
Medley District, in Poolesville, on Wednes-
day to hear speech from our distinguished
candidate for Congress, the Hon. JNo. Richie
After short addresses by Mr.. BAuGHMAN, Of
Frederick, and SPENCER C. JONES, Esq, Of
your place, the Hon. John Richie took the
stand amid considerable applause. 1t would
be vain attempt in me 10 even give an out
line of his able speech can only state that
his argument in reference 10 the main Issues
which are now agitating the country were
convincing on every point. ! only wish that
every Democrat and Conservative voter, ]
might say every aohite nun, for consider the
distinctive feature Of the two parties in this
country are bIach and wEite, could have been
present and heard his reasons why ace should
vote 10 sustain the present political arrange
ment, 1. c., vote for Greeley and Brown, could
not have helped being convi nced that it is the
true policy of every patriot to DO. If we mar
row the question down personally, who is
Greeley or Granl2 they are only men, and it
is only because they stand Mt the head of two
organizations as leaders, that give them prom
nence before the people, and every intelligent
man can help know the object the two par
ties haze in view. One Judging from the asst
four years of misrule, means strife hatred
Capitalization, and, in fact, everything that
has tendency TO lower the proud position our
country has occupied and make our boosted in
dependence mockery in the eyes of nations.
On the other hand, judging from the platform
of principles set forth and the character Of the
distinguished statesmen who are leading in
this new movement, are the o,ive-branch OF
peace, honesty and good will held ont TO all
citizens, so that we can again be a united and
prosperous people: and, if successful, which
God grant may be, our country will again be
placed in position to carry out the proud
destiny kind Providence has vouchedsafe for
u.s. Then why hesitate, white men of Mont
gomery county about the course you should
pursue. Keep the fact prominent in your
minds that BY lukewarmness on your part
the Radcals--tbe G}acts-may get control OF
your county. Imagine what dreadful state
of things wonld exist if all the Offices in the
county should be placed in the hands of an ig-
norant race, and our fair county placed at
their dicaton. | can only point you TO our
sister States of the South for an answer. The
above is no fancy sketch, for any one who will
take the pains to inform himself will see that
the blacks are thoroughly organized. Examine
the registration lists and you vii see that they
have all registered and are ready for the con-
test, while the whites have not given the at
teaon to registration its importance deserves
for we must not forget that is the evidence Of
being voters. Arouse, then, white freemen
and buckle on your armor and enter the cou-
test with spirit and a determination to win,
and letes havcan eye to the present and the
future. Don let it be heral6cd 10 the world
that the sons of old Montgomery have forgot
ten their manhood in the present gigantic
struggle for liberty.
After Mr.. RTcmg concluded cali was made
for E. B. PRETTYMAN, Esq, who made a short
and stirring address, and concluded by propo-
sing three cheers for Mr. Richie, which were
given with will
