Office Of the DcmOcratic Ad"Ocdte,
WESTMINSTER, Oct. 24th, 1874.
TO the EUitor Of The .Eyis:

TO the Edtor Of The -EyiS:
DEAR SIR: \ card over the signature of Jus.
tice" appeared in the Ud1JoH democrat of the
23d inst, to which we ask space in your columns
to reply. "Justcc' refers to an expose of the
record of Mr.. EnSor by correspondent of the
Democratir -!drocGte, showing him 10 have ia.
vorcd the subsection Of The negro to the lnshe
and to sale when under conviction for Grim and
says:
SIS it right at this late day, TO appeal to the
prejudiccs ana passions of the colored people to
array them against those who were not original
aboitlonists? Judging from the article ana an
editorial in the same paper, one might suppose
that Mr.. Roberts was an original aboltionist,
and that he favored the general government in.
tcrterng with the institutions of slavery 1t
appears, at least, that the Democratic paper
where he lives is trying to make that impression
with the colorcd people in order TO get their
votes, Let lis have fair play"
The Democratic party does not court the ne.
gro vote, nor does its nominees. But Mr. En-.
sor does and ii is competent for Democrats to
expose his Inconsistencies. 1t is all right for
the Radicals TO 'appeal to the prcudiccs and
passions of the colored people," and to array
them against the Democratic party, but when
their own weapons are in danger of being turn
ed against themselves, they become nervous,
not true that Mr.. Roberts, or "the Democratic
paper where he lives" H. trying to get the col.
orcd vote, but the cOlorcd people being n com.
ponGnt part of the Radical party, it is competent
to show, that, according to their OpR pieWS Of
tie cdSc Mr.. Ensor is not entitled to their suf-
fragc, both on account Of his former record and
of his recently avowcd opposition to the Civil
Rights Bill, measure to which the RIA dcal par
ty is committed, and against which the Demo.
cratic party is equally committed.
EpIToRs or THE DEMOCRATIC ADVOCATE.
We will add to the above that if the signs
of the times are correct, it is not at all ncces-
sary for the Democratic party TO either co III,
or solicit the sutlragcs the colored voters 1t
is very evident that the experience they have
had in the manner in which they have been
cajoed and deceived by their Radical breth.
rcn, in being made mere tools of and cheated
out of millions of their hard earnings by the
failure of the Freedmens Bank, one of the
meancst frauds and cheats of the day, is
opening their eyes TO the true condition of
affairs, and convincing them that in the end
they will find the Democrats their true
friends.
In many parts Of the State Of Georgia the
colored voters are organizing themselves into
Democratic clubs, having openly rcpudiated
all connection with the carpet baggers. They
say their old Democratic masters are their
best friends,

General Grant went into office II poor
man. He will go out March 4tl. 1877 very
rich man. Does any one believe his great
wealth has been saved from his salary? Eve
ry household in the land suffers from the ex-
travagance and self-enrichment ofRepublican
ofliccholders. Men of Hartford, will you
vote for any man who could by any POSSIBLE
ty be induced to aid in perpetuaing this sort
of thing? Mr.. Ensor is the repro sentative
of this corrupt party, remember.

Democratic voters of Hartford, turn out on
Tuesday next, and give one day to your
country.
Ohio, Arkansas Indiana and West Vir-
ginia have led the way towards n restoration
of Democratic principles in the next Con-
gress. Shall Maryland lag behind? This
congressional district has always been Dem
ocratic since the war Shall it now lessen
its accustomed majoritics, when other States
are gaining so largely? Such result would
be double disgrace at this particular time.
Turn out and bring out your neighbors
Every vote in the district should be recorded
at this election. The enemy are in disorder

The DEMOCRATIC MASS MEETING IN BEL
AIR.-A mass meeting of Democrats was
held at the Court House On Friday of last
week. An organization was made by calling
William Young, Esq, TO the chair, n II.
Nelson, Esq, as Vice President, and j. r.
Ely, Esq, Secretary.
Hon. Henry D. Fnrnandis, Chairman of the
Executive Committee, announced that
Charles B. Roberts, Esq the Democratic can
didate, was present, but was unable TO adj
dress the meeting, on account of indisposi-
ton brought on by the exposure and fatigue
of the campaign, MI Roberts, however,
arose, and briefly but courteously apologize.
cd to the meeting for not being able to adj
dress them upon the important subjects which
now fill the minds of the people.
Mr.. Farnandis then introduced Dr. Frank
L. Shaw, of Carroll county. Dr. Shaw made
an earnest, forciblc and interesting speech.
His arraignmcnt Of Radicalism was scathing,
and he was listened to with the greatest at
tcntiOn.
The Hon. Stevenson Archer was next in
troduccd. Mr.. Archer paid Il glowing trib-
ute to the light moral worth and ability of
NJ. Roberts, and then proceeded to explain in
succnct terms the distinctive principles of
Repuhlcanism and Democracy, as he had
seen them illustrated and eXcmpliiied II
| Washington. Mr.. Archer also urged the
great Importance of bringing out the full
Democratic vote. Let every man, he said,
bring ut least one voter TO the polls. II YOU
know of any man who is dissatisfied or luke
warm, seek him ont aai urge him to come
to the election.
Col. John Carroll Walsh next followed in II
brief speech, plcdging the gentlemen from
Carroll county that the Democrats of Hartford
would be true to their principles, and would
turn out on the day Of election and vote fol
Mr.. Roberts.
A. call was then made for Henry 3D. Far,
nandis, Esq, who responded in Il stirring
speech, in which he proclaimed his opposi
ton to Radical principles, and his adherence
to the Democratic party, which, he thought
included all men who are in favor of the lin
itations ofgoyernment and the rights ofStatei
and of citizens. Mr. Farnandis's remark:
struck n responsive chord in the heart Of
every Democrat who heard him.
The meeting then adjourned. Music fol

We have heard with regret the death of
Mr.. Joseph r. Shrof, formerly of Fallslon,

and was prospecting in business. He was an

Of the finest specimens of0pples that we have

ding the "Paradisc," "Faldcrwater," "Pip-

too tempting to keep. A head of cauli-
flower raised on the same farm was also SUI
pcrb.
We are indebted tc iIr. Thomas Cord,
who lives at the Old Bay Farm, for some
splendid apples Their name we do not know,
but they are unsurpassed in quality. He also
desired to send us Il large pumpkin-how
large we do not know, as our agents team
was too light TO carry it. Mr.. Cord has a
single stem taken from tree in his orchard
that has upon it nine perfect apples, cluster
ed together and touching each other like Il
bunch of grapes. They are curiosity.

Home.

A home! 1t is the fright, blessed,
adorable phantom which sits highest
on the sunny horizon that girdeth life,
When shall it be reached? 1t is not
the house, though that may have its
charms; nor the field, carefully TILED,
and streaked with your own foot paths;
nor the trees, though their shadow he
like that of "a great rock in "A weary
land;n nor yet is it the fireside, with
its cosy comfort; nor the pictures
which tell of loved ones; nor the books;
but more than all these it is the pres
ence. The altar of your confidence is
there, and adjoining it all, and sending
your blood in passionate flow IN the
ecstacy of the conviction that there
you are understood; that there your
errors will meet ever with gentle for
giveness; that. there you may unbur-
then your soul, fearless of harsh uii-
sympathizing ears, and there you may
be entirely and ioyfully-yourself
