..,gnts and civil and relig-
,uus liberty doctrines were as to the
manor born.
He said the issue pr esented at this
day was whether we are to have States
or not. The fate of the form of gov
ernment established by our fathers
had trembled in the balance for weeks
during the last session of Congress
The democracy Is to be the bulwark
of the county by bringing good men
into power. He came to Baltimore to
congratulate the people OF Maryland
upon the selection of candidate for
Governor, man of strong States
rights principles, and peculiarly ap-
proprlate candidate as the descendant
of name that was among those who
were foremost In the transactions the
centennial anniversary of which would
be celebrated next year. lApplause.
Mr.. Dayard alluded to the condition
the country had been brought to by She
party in power. He did not believe
there ever had been such depression
and stagnation of industries, lack OF
occupation and apprehension of dan
ger as now in this country.
The losses of the war were set
down at S12, 900, 600. 600. the accumu.
lations of q century, which will
require years to recover. The
Republican party does not stand
upon the issues of the last ten years.
Their cries of Southern outrage have
been exposed, and their ISLANDERS of
honest men must cease. They have
shifted the issues and now address
themselves to the lower passions and
bring up the gaunt spectre of know
nothingism. They raise the issues of
religious intolerance. 1t is proclaim.
ed in the Land of George Calvert,
upon a street, bearing his name, that
men should be prescribed for religious
opinions. Of all places on the earth
this was the last from which such pro.
scrlption should come. Applause. ]
The man who disregards the charter
of our liberties, honored with the sig
nature Of Washington, which declares
that there shall never be religious
test for Office, sins, Is false as O
man and traitor TO his country. ZAP
plause. Religious and civil liberty is
: guaranteed by the constitution, twin
. flowers ON the same stalk. No
, man can be struck down for exercising
the light to worship God as he pleases
When the name of great grandson of
Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, who has
added honor to that honored name, Is
presented for the suffrages Of the peo.
i Pile he is prescribed because he wor
. ships God at the same altar his distin
guished ancestor did one hundred years
ago. [Applause.l They have made 9
mistake. The people will not only
I elect him but will bury his opponent &C

= and cheers.

1fCongress fixes standard of weight
