Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1873-10-24

good many democrats present as loOkers-on.
After the organization Of the meeting Henry
G. Hallowell, Esq, their candidate for the
State Senate, was called upon to address the
audience which be did in a very good speech
It is not our purpose to report the remarks of
that gentleman in full, or 10 do him the least
! injustice, but simply to state what he said in
substance. Mr.. II. commenced by saying that
he had not come here to make speech, but as
q listener--he had expected to hear the distin-
guished gentlemen whose names were on the
State ticket, but as they had not arrived he
would, although unprepared, make few re-
marks setting forth his views on matters he
| thought important to the material interests Of
| the State Mr.. II. thought Maryland was be-
| hind some of her sister States-New Hampshire
and Connecticut were pointed out--the area of
both of which was less than that of Maryland,
| and yet the people of those States raised double
the number of cattle and sheep. There was no
reason why Marylan should be behind these,
her climate was salubrious, and her hills might
be dotted over with beautiful farm houses and
covered with sheep, and SO indeed they might
ing Of cattle and sheep instead of raising the
cereals, and this in our opinion accounts
for these two Northern States being ahead of
Maryland The legislation Of century would
not improve Maryland in this particular, but
when her people find it TO their interest to
raise cattle and sheep instead of wheat and
corn, they will, doubtless, turn their attention
in that direction. Mr.. H. said he was Re-
publican on principle--he was honest in his
views and accorded the same honesty of pur-
pose to those who were his opponents. He be-
lieved parties ought to exist-they acted as a
| check upon each other. Many Of his friends
and relatives were democrats and he thought
| them 10 be as honest in their convictions MS
himself. He said his opponent (Dr. Brewery
was gentleman worthy of the position he
sought, and he was willing some colored folks
| might support the democratic ticket-not too
many though. We incline to the opinion a
good many would, if left to their choice-but
as they seem to be under the surveillance of
some whites and afraid of maltreatmcnt from
their own race, it is not likely that many will,
are bound, and stand forth freemen, as they
are, and appeal to the law, in case of griev-
ance, as is their right. With reference to
mixed schools Mr.. II. said it was not desirable
and be was opposed 10 them because he did
not think it best for either race-the blacks,
owing to their previous condition (for which
we were not to bame) needed 20 be educated,
and as we'll might we expect an old farmhouse
work even with one of Gov. Bowie's improved
stock, as to expect the colored man to equal
the whites in the race for Improvement, in his
present condition. This would leave the in
ference to be drawn that when educated up to
the point, claims for equality might be adj
vanced.
When Mr.. II. had taken his seat Mr.. G. W.
Lansdale was called up. This gentleman con-
fined his remarks to matters principally con-
corning himself. He discussed no issue and
therefore leaves Us but little to say, farther
than to express his opposition to mixed schools
and common equality.
The Radical candidates oppose mixed schools
in all the speeches they make, bnt not one of
them has yet said what he is in favor Of This
is an important matter, and the public will not
be content with simple denial. At this time
when they are crying so loudly for Retrench-
ment and Reform it would be singularly in
consistent to increase taxation by the advoca-
cy of schemes which must lead to that end,
and those schemes unknown to the public.
Mr.. Frank Miller was next called up, who
entertained the audience in his usual way The
Democratic Address, recently issued by the
State Central Committee of Montgomery coun-
~ came in for portion OF criticism, but as
that document has been spread before the peo-
pie under the sanction and advice of some of
the best men in the county, it needs no de-
fender.
The next speaker was Mr. Butler-a coll
lored individual from Baltimore-who came
here to instruct white people, we suppose, and
teach lessons of wisdom and morality to high
minded, honorable men. The people of Mont
gomery will answer that speech at the polls.
l., The 4:36 p. m. train brought the much
looked for State candidate-Judge Henry II.
Goldsborough. Mr.. G soon took the floor
and commenced his harangue. We did moi
hear the commencement of his speech--beinp
at that time engaged in better misunderstanding
supper. We FASTENED, however, to hear tn.
big gun discharge itself, and got into the
Court room, just in time TO hear the democra
cy catching it' from this great disciple O
Radicalism. 1t was party without princi-
Piles, he said, had supported Greeley, life
long opponent, without explaining the reason
why land in the next breath completely stul
tilted himself by asking that same democrac,
for their support, saying there would be nj
abandonment of principle in doing so. TIL,
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and the Oystel
Fundum, or whatever it may be called, wa
next taken up, and their management by Mr.
Woolford pitched into with a ferocity tina
made us think that, according to his account
Canal, Oysters and all, had Jared the fate o
Jay Cooke, the dealer in government finances
and ''busted up and the people of Maryland
all would be sent to the poor-house. Will
this gloomy thought uppermost in our mind
we passed a somewhat restless night and awok
early in the morning to fnd ourselves still il
Rockville and it's citizens preparing to ply thei
usual vocations The Canal was still in run
ming order, plenty Of Oysters in the grand OLE
