Our Ticket.


II is not surprising, that when the Demo
cratic Convention has spoken, to find the
Baltimore american, at least, ready for what
it calls 1.-THE new movement" Now, the
fact is, any movement to defeat the Democrat
ic candidate would be acceptable to that paper,
but, possessing the talent and astuteness of its
editorial corps, we are surprised to sec pub
lisbed in its columns several letters purport-
ing to cmanate from Democrats. THIS is
rather thin when we consider Democrats are
driven to this organ to enunciate their dissat-
isfaction. Ifthe Democratic and neutral press
OF the State is closed to them, truly they are
in helpless condition, and are much to be
pitied, especially tho writer whose heated
imagination pictures to his fancy change of
ten thousand votes in Baltimore. Republican
rule has now been fully tried, not only in
Maryland, but in the whole United States; it
has been weighed in the balance and found
wanting, and the american, with its pretended
Democratic writers, will find it no easy task
to swerve the Democratic party from its true
allegiance.
The most singular part of this whole pro-
eeeding is, that while they cry canal ring,
State Treasury fraud and corruption, not one
darcs TO raise his voice against Carroll,
Gwinn, or Woolford No word of disparnge-
ment is heard against either. We challenge
eur opponents, whether of old or new move
ments, to point TO so unparalleled an instance,
where three men are put forward for the most
important Offices in our State-men who have
public record, men who have filled official
positions, and yet in all their lives have SO
conducted themselves that their enemies can
not point TO a fault or failure in either to
faithfully perform every duty.
Let us make this appeal TO every Democrat
IN our county, yea, in our State. When men
rings, fraud and corruption, ask them what
they have to say against Carroll, Gwihn or
Woolford. They will have no answer 10
make. We fear not the result OF any wager of
battle in the present contest; our leaders are
known and tried patriots, lovers and respecters
Of the Constitution and laws, and for the COM
fort of the Republican party in Maryland we
will assure you your sun has gone down be-
meath the horizon never again to rise until
you can again rule the ballots in this State
with your inscriptions and tyrancal bayo-
nets. When Democrats are told of thew
movement" it is naught but the futile at
tempt of the republicans to gain power.
Trulv. It looks like mockery for Republi-
can paper to speak of fraud in Maryland,
when scarcely u day passes but il brings to
light some most stupendous theft of public
money in its own party, aud by men of its
own selection. We would advise the Balti-
more american to purge the rank and flo Of
its own party before giving advice to Demo-
Gratis whom they should select. Let them go
10 Washington if they desire reformation, and
in that delectabe hot-bed of Republicanism, a
suycrabundance of this kind of work is ready
20 their hand As for Maryland Democrats,
they have tried your rule; they have passed
through the days once when, by partisan leg
islation and illegal military power they had
no voice through the ballot box. These dark
days of oppression and unjust rule are not for.
