The aegis & intelligencer. [volume] (Bel Air, Md.) 1864-1923, 1873-10-31
The Republican Junto and their Allies
Showed Up.
BY A CORRESPONDENT.

MIR. EDITOR: The Editor of the Hugre
Republican, or his correspondent Citizen"
II they be not one and the same must have
been consulting the spirits, upon their last
mission to Bel Air, and they must have been
bad spirits too, just such rs induced the
search for the hidden treasure in the neigh
borhood of Darlington, year or so ago and
| think they found just such mares nest
upon their recent visit as upon the previous
occasion referred to.
Why, sir, he Tor his correspondent seems
to have to&nd out that since the support of
Horace Greeley by q portion of the Demo-
cratic party, that old time hOnored organiza-
ton is dead and that there is nothing left
around which to rally the old veterans OF
thousand conflicts but empty ndmeS | fear
he has been too busy with the dusky spirits
of the past, or the inspiring ones ofthe pres
cnt, 10 read over the newspapers of the
country, on perhaps his exchanges are limi-
ted, and like his article Signed Citizen"
more rOmatic than truthful. He certainly
has not heard from Ohio and Oregon, nor
from pennsylvania, nor from Baltimore
where that old fossil l'd1tr made speech I'M
der which, or something else, honest old Josh
VA, (who was also Democrat about the be-
ginning of the century, and is therefore fos-
Sil,) commanded the sun, moon and stars of
Black RcpublicaniSm, Rctormsm, Cresswell-
ism and all the other iSmS, to stand still, and
they obcycd him.
But citizen seems to be very sorry that Of
ficcrS are paying up, and it seems TO trouble
the editor very much that there was a Jubilee
in Bel Air when the Treasury of our good
Old state was being rcplcnishcd. These Re-
pubIicans OF the ilk OF the Republicans cor
respondent have been so used TO, and so de-
lirhIpl "a oIS rl nj nr from, ba
no wonder they cannot see cause for gratiti-
cation at anything short of their own sordid
qualifications and base desires. But really
think, Mr.. Editor, if Citizen or citizens would
only pay up their taxes, and those of others
with whose money they been intrusted, there
would be some rejoicing and a small Jubilee
in little charmed circle called" c0RectO,s and
recetre'& No wonder they object to paving
up, for there is but Il very short step between
a Defaulter and Black Republican, 1t Ger
tainly is Il very long stride towards it, as
Citizen might ascertain by consulting the
Credit Mobilicr record, or the Chorpenning
Investigation, q Ia GlesaCeR
"CitZen" seems to revolt at a man mort
gaging his real estate to pay his debts Why,
he must belong to the Jay Cooke branch
that branch of the government which absorbs
the savings Of industry and toll, and pays out
To the ovcnmcnt-Grant--as a sort of pre-
terred creditor And as for his ruinous rates
OF interest, of which he speaks somebody
must have been borrowing from some of his
jmto OF the Jay Cooke ilk. But, sir, perhaps
they would lend TO "Clizcn" at easier rates
and reall ! expect that any rate would be a
relief to his creditors
Why really, Mr.. Editor, Citizen" seems to
be afraid our worthy Comptroller will be re-
elected instead Of that foul blot on Mary
lands history and Marylands fair fame
Henry H. Goldsborough. Perhaps he would
like to see some more Maryland Judges dragg-
ed and beaten from the bench as was Carmi-
chael, for doing his duty honestly-a term
which is not in the vocabulary of the ex-Mar-
shall. Or perhaps Citizen" (hc seems to be
such patriot,) would not object to taking
small oLfs under either Goldsborough or
Creswell. hope if this desecrator of the iu-
dicial sanctuary attempts his old tricks again,
he will at least spare the Clerks, particularly
the Clerk of the Court of Appeals, at any
price.
Citizen" seems to overlook mo doubt the
spirits made him oblivious,) the fact that one
bearing the name of his partys candidate for
Register of Wills was in the Comptroller's
list ofthe chosen few, and his defalcation bore
date away back in the past Perhaps he
thought it was confirmed or chronic case,
and that his medicine would not reach it {; or
perhaps the spirits do not like to go back into
the past, for fear they will meet the ghost of
amurdercd woman, hung by Radical misrule.
More Anon," another Of the Republicans
delectable correspondents, seems to think
Colonel Walsh can't serve the State as iii.
rector in one OF her great interests and at the
same time as Senator No wonder he should
think so; for judging from a Radical stand
point, man cannot be congressman, or
delegate, or senator, or anything else, with
out being thief Difference again to Cred
it Mobilier, Chorpenning and Salary Grab
But beg to remind him that our candidate
for Senate is Democrat, and will be proof
against the temptations under which Colfax
and his host of Republican colleagues FELL
You need not be afraid, Mr.. Editor of Hagre,
the people are not going to trust your candi-
date, without being n Director Republican
is enough for them. They have tried it be-
fore.
Citizen" seems to think he made discoye.
ry-something about lost deed, and taking
fees, and cquazing, and all that sort ofthing.
why, MIR. Editor if he had studied the histo-
ny ofthis government for the last twelve years;
If he had studied the records of the party of
which no doubt he is an hOne,y member, du-
ring the last decade, he would have found out
S'iho'iiHS aDout All Olu-laSnlOncQ document,
fashioned and framed by the fathers of our
Countrywide patriots of the Revolution, the
sages of the convention which made the Con.
stItution which your party has denounced as
league with death and a covenant with hell;
which they have torn, and mutiated, and
blurred all over with patches and hid away
lost amid the rubbish of negro supremacy
and Black Republicanism.
Citizen" writes very eloquently about
the venerable building hallowed by so many
solemn, nay holy associations" Did it ever
suggest itself to him that there Washington
resigned the sword to the civil power, and
there delivered his memorable Address, in
which he warned his countrymen against
sectional parties? Would that his word of
warning were to-day needed by the Repub-
lcan party, and that in our sister States the
military was subordinate TO the civil power.
But alas for them if ballots fail the strong
arm ofpower is invoked, and bayonets and |
bullets invade the dominion, and overthrow |
the decision of the people. And all this is
done in the name of liberty. What libel
upon freedom What q sacrilege of her sa-
cred name! Who does not remember when
IN our own, and now in our sister States, the
