Close of the Campaign.

Before another issue of the SENTINEL the
campaign will have drawn to Il close and de-
oiied, beyond recall, which party shall! be in
he asccndeney for the fuurty of four years. 1t
has been one OF The hottest contested elections
within the State since the Democracy re-
claimed and rescued her from the control of
that vile aud eorruptble party, which now
has some OF her sister States under the heel of
tyranny. The campaign has been conducted
BY the leading men of both parties in the
State; every issue has been thoroughly dis
cussed thc probty Of the character Of every
sAndf,iae for every position has been put be-
fore you bis fitting mental ability for the oc-
cupancy OF the position has been mooted and
found sufficiently capable. They have written
letters, both sides, which will ever grsce The
encyclopaedia Of political literature; by the
words of mouth from the rostrum were such
speeches never known to have been made by
Marylanders The Reformcrs have imputed
TO the Democratic aepirants false and calnmni-
eus cll,sses rs black as Tophet itself, ISLANDERS
without an iota of toundation and bearing
upon lis face cretism and an intention TO set
asundrr that adhesion TO Democratic princi-
p,es. which have ever kept the party an unit
bat as quickly us asserted were they refuted
and hurled back in their teeth
Such has been the course of the campaign
concerning the State nominees With the
county party nominees you are all famllIarly
acquainted, and they will be elected, beyond
doubt, on the 2nd Of November next. il is
optional with the people of the State whether
or not the State shall continuously be CON
,roled by the present party in power. Mont
gomery with full vote can help in the aihr-
native considerably. After the oral and
published explanations of the condition-es-
necially the financial conlition-that which
mostly interests you-of your State, You can
not consistently remain phlegmahc and M
different MS to who will administer the State
government for the next four years. After all
this should you remain stole and obstinate,
voting for the opposition candidate, remem-
Der. that you spite no one but yourself Re-
member, that John Lee Carroll, with the rest
Of the nominees, lived before receiving the
nomination at the hands of the party, and II
hy madraps is defeated, can again, after the
election, return. to their former avoeaiions
and again survive. Remember, you have
children TO whom you wish 10 leave the mag
uiGceut heritage of liberty, and whom yon
wish to be reared under those magnani-
nous Jelrrsouian principles. Remember, i
you have imbcdded within your heart shat
feeling OF hatred ior Mr., Carroll, which is on
ly caused by the defeat of the man OF your
choice in tie State cenvenIion, and give vent
TO the same by voting for the opposition, you
only give him the instrument to cut your own
throat
Insieal of voting against the ticket, we
urge you sincerely TO vote for it. Throw
afiac all past differences, and roll up larger
majority than ever before. In so doing you
saceor in the election Of the ticket. Other
wise YOU assist in the defeat of the ticket, and
again, we repeat that you will not spite any
one but yourself Consider, ponder and COM
pare the two tickets, and see ifthe preponder-
ance is not with your side before casting your
vote.
We trust that the Democratic press of Mary
land may have the pleasure of heralding vic
tory to its readers On the 3rd of November.
