WHY is IT?

That the Democratic party of Mary
land have tried to capture the Roman
Catholic Church by placing in nomina-
ton for Congress three members of
that church? In the Second District,
Charles A. Roberts; in the Third Dis
trict, William j. O'Brien; and in the
Sixth District, William Walsh, are all
members of the Catholic Church. We
do not quarrel with these men because
of their religious opinions, neither do
we think the fact of their being Catho-
lies should disqualify them from becom-
ing members Of Congress. We simply
refer to the FACT, to show that the
Democratic party, with view to carry
ing the very large vote of Irish Catho-
lies in Baltimore City and Alleganv
county, have placed in nomination well
known active members of that church,
which, of course, they had a right to
do; but is it good policy to thus array
the sectarian feelings and spirit of our
State one against another?

Tuesday night, at Havre de Grace, from
which report we make tie following ex-
tracts:
"Charles B. Roberts, Esq, candidate
for Congress, first spoke. Mr.. Roberts,
though a very clever gentleman, as l re-
Gently had the opportunity to fully dis
cover, is not speaker of first-rate order,
and, therefore, did not say much, winding
up his effort by telling story about a
'nigser and hog which, of course, con-
vulsed the claquers."
"R. R. Vandiver, Jr., of the Elkton bar,
was the last speaker, but his effort was
mainly confined to giving US well-told
story about 'nigger's effort to straddle
an earthquake, and then the audience very
quietly dispersed
