PoOLEsVlLLE, oct ~, ~.
Mr. Editor We are upon the verge of one
of the most important elections ever held 10
this county, and am glad to inform you thai
our people are alive to the importance OF the
contest We are ia glow of patriotic ZEAL
and are exnlting upon the prospects OF an nn-
paralleled Democratic victory in this district
not so much for the sake Of a mere party tr-
umph-for success of to-day has much deeper
significance We intend TO give our standard
bearer "A larger majority than we have ever
brag, until we are confident of what we can
do. Though we have been somewhat ret-
cent in the past, it was the result of our quiet
nature, and not of fear or lukewarmness upon
our part. You will find after the returns are
made that our people have been thoroughly
aroused in heart, by the corrupt practices and
INSCRIPTIONS policy of The party in power,
and are determined to do their part to redress
the wrongs of their countrymen by throwing
off this yoke of tyranny. A good many Of
our sensible colored friends have renowned
Mr.. Lowndes, notwithstanding the fair promi-
SEES and brotherly affection with which he tried
to win them, at Poolesville, some ten days
ago. We have some few white-skin men, of
Ethiopian hearts, who will. probably, support
Mr.. Lowndes, but they are of so little impor-
lance we will not miss them, and learn that
some of the same stamp-though we wish you
to know we do NOT claim them-are to speak
TO their "colored brethren, in Poolesvile,
on Saturday next We have no doubt that
they viii be welcomed by a throng of their
deluded brethren, filing the atmosphere with
their suffocating incense Of praise. 1t will be
well for the people to use disinfectants freely
for some time afterwards.
We respectfully demand the aid of every
houest-hearted patriot of Montgomery and the
State Of Maryland in breaking down the bull
warks Of political tyranny, ard placing our
State foremost in the galaxy of her honored
sisters. Allow not your minds TO become
clouded by personal prejudices or mercenary
motives; let no past favors or promises of
future reward, at The hands of our common
enemy, influence you. No true political prin-
cipe will allow itself to be SO sadly debased.
A DEMOCRAT.

Government Claims.

One of the reasons advanced by the leaders
of the Radical party in this section why our
people should vote for Mr.. Lowndes is that
with his great influence and assistance, claims
for damages done by the Yankee army during
the war can be more readily collected from the
Government To show the fallacy of all such
reasoning, we give en- extract from speech
delivered by Mr.. Walsh in Washington coun-
", few days ago, which we commend to any
one who may have thought il policy to vote
for Mr.. Lowndes in the hope of thereby get
ting his just dues from ''the powers that be-
at Washington.
'tMr Walsh explained TO his audience ma
ny of whom were losers by the Federal army,
the utter folly OF expecting any remuneration
for their losses from the Republican party, who
had repealed the only law ever passed for the
payment of their claims and covered the mo-
ney appropriated for that purpose into the
treasury, and when any hills had been passed
for the relief of individuals that the President
had Systematically vetoed them. This discus
sion has been entered into from the fact that
just before each Congressional election claim
agents are sent around among the people, taxi
ing proof of damages and promising 10 collect
the money for them with Mr.. Lowndes' assist
ance, although they know well that not dol
lar is appropriated for the payment of the just
for ten years systematically refused TO make
any such appropriation"
al
Of the country we have the glad tidings of
victory by united Democratic action -
States which have long been lost TO the De-
mocraey have been regained. The prize to be
lost or won in this contest is the control of the
next House of Representatives. Every mate
rial inlerest-every branch of iudusiry--every
trade or Professionalism langushing under
Radical misrule, turns TO the Democratic par
~ of the country for help. Let every Demo-
cratic aud Conservative voter in Montgomery
devote the whole time from now until the polls
are closed on next Tuesday to rebuilding and
reviving the languishing business of tie whole
country, by contributing one vote toward the
election of q Democratic Congress. Every
Democrat who stays at home on the day of
the election gives half vote to the enemy -
Come yourselves and induce all others to do
SO. Every vote is important. A Democrat
has just been elected to Congress in Iowa, for
the first time in ten years, by nineteen Uotes. 80
One vote may defeat Lowndes. One vote may
elect Mr.. Walsh, and his vote may give us con-
troll of the next Congress. Think of the import
ance of your vote, and let no consideration
Induce you to stay away from the polls.
