whites and negroes.
Under the same leader, referring to the re-
marks Of Judge Smith at Taneytown, he saws
that the Judge portrayed to his hearers the
inconsistencies Of the Democratic party, and
besought them TO let that party know, BY
their votes at the next election, that assassi.
nations and terrorisms, on account Of politi.
cal difference, would be no longer permitted

mind the learned Judge that since that Dem
Qcratlc party regained the ascendancy in
Maryland, by the constitution Of 1867, thereby
making a thorough and complete change il
the Judiciary, there have been no assassina-
lions or terrorisms on account Of political
differences, and especially in the beautiful
county of Carroll. VgaIrAs.
