Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1875-08-06
JOHN LEE CARROLL.
Political.

The expression OF the press throughout the
State shows, beyond doubt, that the ticket
lately Nominated by the Democratic Conven-
ton in Baltimore will receive the undivided
support of the rarty, to which we may safely
add considerable increase from the Republic
eea ranks. Ia our own county there are
number of Republicans heartily tired of the
msrnle at Washington. They have waited
long and patiently for the fuliilment Of the
many promises made by their party leaders,
Their expectations and hopes have been buoy
ed up with the idea that the onerous taxes and
duties under which they labored were fast
liquidating the national debt--alas, for them
aud us, how vain delusion.
Their fair promises and assurances have ut
terly failed instead of life in business, work,
food and clothing for The laboring class, we
find a complete siagnation in trade of every
hind, and want and pcnnry staring the poor
man in the face wherever ne turns. The only
thrifty persons are The Office holders of The
Unted States, the stupendous thefts and frauds
of which daily disclosures are made though
The Republican press have spoken in tones not
TO be UNDECIDED by the bone aud sinew Of the
land
tForbearance has ceased 10 be virtue"
and il is no uncommon thing to hear men who
have been Republicans these many years open
" aud boldly renounce their gu ondam allegi-
ance, and declare they will no longer support
the party of fair promises and delusive expec-
tations. The Republicans in Montgomery
county, who are thus acting to-day, are not
disappointed Office seekers, neither are they
men who have been turned out of Office, but
they are sound, sober-thinking, Industrious,
laboriug men. When we find men like these
rallying beneath our standard il is no time for
household wrangling, the question now is not
one of personal preferment or elevation, it is
one which embraces the veal of the State and
OF the nation. The people of these United
States are looking to the Democratic party 10
work out their deiverance from the bonds and
shackles Of debt and oppression, in which they
are CENTRALIZED.
IN the past we prospered as a nation, and MS
people were happy under Democratic rule,
want and misery were almost unknown 10 the
land. With wisdom and forbearance in the
counsels of the Democratic party, we may
still believe the bow Of promise in the future,
and the farm house and the cottage now rest
ing meath tire gloom and shadows of porten-
tbus clouds shall soon be cheered by genial
rays Of the rising sun.
Our approaching contest in the State is but
picket skirmisk on the out post. it but gives
the warning sound of the great national con-
test. In the days Of our revolution the es-
eutcheop Of the +" Maryland Line was unfair
nished, noble men did valiantly to resist and
deliver US from the oppressive duties and taxa
ton of foreign nation. To-day we are OPP
pressed with duties, taxes and burthens, by
an INSCRIPTIONS party in power at home, and
again are our sister States of this union look
ing TO the " Maryland Line" Will or can any
Democrat under circumstances like these fail
TO do his whole duty2
: Let personalities and prejndices be buried
sured tread let the +" Maryland Line again dc
picket duty on the out posts in November
next, that she may be in the van guard when
the great national conflict shall come Off
which now promises beyond doubt, to wrcs
from power the party which Expresses US
with duties and taxes, not to pay the nationa
debt which they created, but 10 fill the pocket.
Of their favored pets.
