If there is Democrat or Conserya-

falter in his duty or stay away from the
polls, this fall, let him turn back ten years

iron-clad oath, the military at the polls.

strlctions generally placed upon voting,
which deferred many men from attempt

all. Democrats and Conservatives were
then denounced as rebels challenged as
"disloyal, and in many instances driven
from the polls VIII you now fail to vote
or VIII you give your aid to the party that
thus prosecuted you ten years ago?

0uR WESTMINSTER LIrERArI.-It is not
generally known that several of the ladies and
gentlemen Of Westminster are engaged in cul-
tiyating the fruitful field Of letters. We had
the pleasure, not long since, Of noticing a
Westminster book, the jointproduction Of one
OF our literary societies. About the same
time, book ON musical notation made its
appearance, its author living in this vicinity.
In the September number Of the Southern
Magazine, orr fellow-townsman, Mr.. Ever
EFT Pearson, has a clever story entitled q Hid.
den Treasure A late number Of Frank
Leslie's Magazine has an article from the pen
Of one Of the fair matrons Of Westminster,
which has been handsomely illustrated by the
BURN Of one of his artists. A Legend OF
Maryland by one of our fair demoiselles,
who Yields a facile pen, lately made its ap.
pearance in print; and, more recently, we
had the pleasure Of hearing read, in manu-
script, by the author, very interesting story,
with plot and incident sufficient to swell it 10
the proportions Of "goodly quarto.'' We
also hear Of other achievements, Of which the
public may be appraised, in due time, and
which may add fresh leaves TO the literary
chaplet Of Westminster.

The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1873-09-27
what the Consequence WIN Be.

From the confident tone Of the Republican
papers Of the State, the character Of the Re
publican tickets, which have been placed in
the field, and the energy which marks the Re
publican party in the city and in the counties,
il Is plain that the Republicans intend making
Q prodigious effort to carry the election in
November, and wrest the State Of Maryland
from the Democratic party. Such q result
cannot be too deeply deplored, and the mere
thought Of the possibility Of such result
should arouse every Democrat and Conserva.
tive TO put forth their utmost efforts to defeat
II. But let us contemplate for moment what
is likely to follow a Radical victory. If that
party elects its State ticket and carries the
legislature, il viii secure a United States SEN
ator, to succeed Senator Hamilton, the Clerk
Of the Court Of Appeals, the Comptroller. the
State Treasurer, the Board Of Public Works,
the Board Of Fishery Commissioners, the
command Of the State Oyster Police Boats,
the State Librarian, and the State Printer.
Having secured these important spoils, the
Republican party, flushed with victory, will
call a Convention, so as TO secure control OF
the State Judiciary, the Public Schools, and
the Registration Of voters. In doing all this,
that party will not fail to 60 further, and by
enacting new charter for the city Of Balti-
49, Z; -. 80 PossSas'on o. tnAl city througn
INC agency Of the police, which twill appoint
ana command; Having thus secured all pow
y "a Mary's1d, y Will open the public schools
Of races, and viii compel theatres and hotels
TO accommodate both races together without
respect to color OF prejudice In addition TO
thls, e WI, repeal the Jury law, give US negro
Jurors, and provide for enforcing its legisla-
uon on an unwilling people through a paid
negro militia When all this Is accomplished,
there wlii De an end Of the white mans gov.
eminent IN Maryland. This is the Radical
programme, which that party viii be forced
Y carry out, by the pressure Of $4,000 negro

have erected q house ia which to store goods

as the latter crosses under the former twent,
odd feet, they have put up powerful hoisiinp
apparatus, by which one man can let down OF
draw up almost any weight with ease. This
road Is doing good business its earnings
are sufficient to pay all working expenses and

Farmers are cutting up their corn, but late
fields are certainly too green. The theory
that corn will mature in the shock, and the
fodder be more nutritious when cut up in

the stalk Is cut Of.
Mr.. Adam Sour, two miles south Of here,

stable BY breaking down one stall after anoth-
er, until he reached the feeding room, where
he was found apparently quiet; but soon q
paroxysm came on, in which he would paw
down and kick into pieces anything before OF
behind him. These paroxysms continued un-

was mad but il is now concluded that it was
