to open up the resources of that country. In
short time Vera Cruz and. the City OF Mexico
will be- united By rail, and other enterprises OF
like character are projected, and will soon be car

United States with MEXICO. This will DO espe-

Cruz. When this union shall have been estab-
liphed. tue commercial relations between tho
United States and Mexico viii likely assume im-

the four staples Of cotton. sugar, rice, and to-
bacco can be produced in Mexico to an unlimited
extent, but Chicago merchants can handle her
coffee, chocolate, indigo, mahogany, and dye
woods pt'lower rates and quicker transit than ID
now enjoyed. In return for these desirable conf
modities, Mexico will naturally receive from us
much Of our agricultural products and the manu-
features which she now buys chiefly from Eng
land, France, and Germany.

In the contest in which the people are now an,

Seem more natural that the proposed amend

States aB receut occurrences Indicate that's con-
siderable portion OF the members OF Congress
rather like the fat dividends upon hypothetical
stocks, which certain railways find themselves
in condition to declare in favor Of their friends

In human probabilities, the next great poiti--

people and tic incorporate companies combined

9 severe one, but tho result cannot be doubtful.
The,people will never submit to have their in
terests ignored by creaturas OF their owp crea-
ton; and the sooner the parties come to an un-
derstanding, tie better for all concerned therein
Now, it does seem to Us that tho shortest and
the su1est wny to settle the difficulty is the bes:,
by tho amendment Of tho Federal Constitu--

be useful for purpose other than to incite lit

enactment, then every other branch Of business
could be regulated in the Same manner..7Thero

MEssRs EDIToRs IF the writer Of
the star papers in the Sentinel had
kept silent on the subject Of shaving and
" discounting,' he would have shown him
self to be less Of simpleton than he has.
Is not one Of the candidates on the Radi-
cal ticket vulnerable on that subjectg A
mans private business has nothing to do
with political discussion but, is the sub
ject Of shaving has been lugged in by this
star : writer, he must thank himself IL he
and his party both get badly shaved" in
the end.
The shaving process Is not confined TO
Westminster, or to understanding. The
Radical candidates. friends in New Wind
sor district are trying hard to discount the
Radical ticket, at the rate Of three for one,
and in some instances, Eve for one. This
is pretty heavy shave, and is bound to
force the Radical ticket into bankruptcy.
But the peoples bank wont g do" the thing
even at that rate, for they don't like either
the principal or the cndorsen Other
"shaving" is going on in the Baltimore
Custom House, by discountingp the sal
aries of the officers, and the parings will
be brought here to influence the election,
but Custom House money wont save them,
although it be lavished, hundred dollars
to man, as in one instance in one of the
districts Of this county. They viii get
"shaved' little harder in that district
than they have eyeryet been, or | am much
mistaken, and their money wont bring
them seven and three-tenths by long shot
The star writer may look out for "shave"
himself, at no very distant day, for the
Democrats win take the pap-spoon out Of
his mouth on which he has grown so saucy.
Transplanted from Pennsylvania he has
taken it upon himself to regulate things
here. He thinks he runs the Radical
party, his tongue outwagging the noisiest
babbler, and outbuzzing the pestilent
gad-fy, obtruding his opinions and his ad-
vice where they are not asked.
The address of the Central Committee
was not written to please the Radical party;
it was addressed to Democrats, and reminds
them that they may, by united effort,
this fall, come out of this contest, with
Carroll county redeemed, regenented and
disenthralledn from the Grant majority of
50 at the election of last year. With "a
long pull, strong pull and pull alto
gether," the Radicals will find that upon
this result there will be No DISCOUNT.

In the issue of the Sentinel of the 10th
instant, there appear sundry communica-
tons of an individual, whom we cannot
consent to treat as in any manner connect
cd with the management of that paper,
although he may use the editorial i've"
and seemingly occupy a close relationship
to the editorial column only separated
therefrom by the words "For the Sentinel"
at the head Of, and the beneath his load
Of slime. This individual who asserts that
he is pleading the cause of public virtue
and honesty" should exercise somewhat
more caution in his next effort and seek
to avoid the inevitable conclusions which
follow from an examination Of his triplet
communications. In the first instance he
has undertaken to speak of Mr.. Baum
gartner in strain of eloquent commenda-
tion, which his Radical imagination could
not have propagated in a century of labor,
il Mr.. Baumgartner had been chosen as
the Democratic candidate for Clerk. In
so far as he speaks Of Mr.. Baumgartner's
character and qualifications, he but speaks
the truth, and it is but small praise indeed
for any one to publish with flourish Of
trumpets, that which is well known to every
indiyional member Of this community and
becaure it is announced through the col
umns Of Radical paper, adds but little to
it in any respect; but it nevertheless sug-
gests the remark that instead of Mr.. Baum
gartner being the heightened, excellent
gentleman, which he is, he would have
been, in the event of his nomination,
bounded from post to pillar by the Radi-
cal press and politicians as another Ro-
man Catholic aspirant for Office, against
whom the harshest and vilest epithets
would have been hurled with the same
base profigacy as is now employed against
Dr. Shaw. $3.50
If pleading the cause of public virtue
and honesty consists in traducing the char
acter of young man who has gained for
himself a worthy and honorable position
in his party by his sterling worth and un-
questioned ability, then our individual
has accomplished his task most nobly, and
deserves the sincere thanks Of the few of
like sentiment with himself. We say few.
because we cannot believe that any re-
spectacle member Of the Republican party

proyal. Z.Y.X.

FrLLow CITIZENS An anonymous writer
in the Amerieaa Sentinel Of the 10th instant
says; s
Il is reported, publicly, that DIR. Shaw,
the Greeleyite candidate for Clerk, promised
TO appoint certain gentleman his deputy at
$1,000 per year, If true, was the promise
made before the nominating convention as
sembled, and Was it made as an indncement
to secure the support Of any one? II SO, who
was the person, and was he not friend Of
Mr.. Banmgartner before the promise, and a
friend Of DIR. Shaw's afterwards2r
pronounce the above report false in every
particular, and the author Of it base calumi
niator. Did this charge affect my political
prospects only, would not deign to notice it,
but as it reflects alike upon my honor and in-
tegrity, which are my only heritage, deem it
due TO myself, as well as the people in whose
midst have SO long resided, and who have
hitherto honored me with their confidence and
respect, that should thus publicly denounce
il. And say, further, that so far as 7 am
aware, my nomination was fairly made. Did
| not think so, would resign my place on
the ticket, as there is no office / would accept
at the expense Of correct principle.
