GREAT MASS MEETING AT HAYRE DE GRACE
The Democratic mass meeting at TIavre de
Grace, on Friday night of last week, was one
OF the largest political assemblages ever held
in the county. A procession numbering FIVE or
six hundred persons was formed of men on
horseback, bearing Chinese lanterns, men on
foot with torches, who marched to the music
OF two bands, and proceeded to the Town
Hall. Before their arrival, however, the hall
was filled, and crowd sufficient in numbers
to have formed another large mass meeting,
were unable to get in. The meeting was or
gained by calling Col, Joseph NJ. Simmons
to the chair, and appointing Murray Vand-
yer and Hollis Courtney, Jr, Secretaries,
and list of Vice-Presidents.
Addresses were delivered by Hon Charles
b. Roberts, Henry d. Farnantlis, William
Young, } T. G. Hopkins and Robert r.
Vandiver, Jr. The enthusiasm was unbound
cd, and the meeting was kept up until late
hour. Such an outpouring of the masses
surely indicates that the present election is
no ordinary occasion, but that the people
are determined to have u change of govern
ment. 1t is simply revolution, peacefully
conducted under the Constitution and the
laws, the object of which is Reunion, Re-
form and Retrenchment, under Tilden and
Hendricks.

KNABE'S CENTENNIAL TRIJrMpu

The United States Centennial Commission and

to MeSSrS. lpn,. Kaade & Co., the Diploma of
Honor and Medal Of Merit for Concert Grand,

BY the system of awards adopted, Pianos OF
all grades received Medals of precisely the same

only in the reports of the Judges accompany
ing the medals.
The Judges pronounce the Knabe Pianos to
be the best opponents Of tie art Of piano making,
and fully entitled to the ledding position, com
bining all the requisites Of a perfect instrument
In the highest degree p0Cer, richness, and sing.
ing quality of to1e, ease and elasticity of touch,

construction, and crceiience OF workmanship. The
knabc award is not confined to any single style
of instrument, as is the case with other exhibi
tors in this department, but comprises all four
styles, and stands unqualified by phrases indica-
tive of mediocrity.
Nor were the Judges content to recognize
only few good qualities for Mey especialy

TIE COUNTY MASS MEETING.-A well at-
tended enthusiastic and orderly gathering
of the Democrats of Hartford county took
place at the Court House, on Thursday of
last week. A stand had becne rected outside,
but the open air was too chilly for speakers or
hearers, and accordingly the meeting was or
ganizcd in the court room, by the appointment
Of the following officers: President-Henry
ID. Farnandis Vice Presidcnts-Col. Ram,
say McHenry. Col, VIM. B. Stephenson, ]. r.
STREET., s. M. Whitelord and VIM. b.
Morgan; ecrctaries-Franklin W hitaker,
F. W. Baker and VIM. b. Jarrett.
The first speaker was Hon. Charles b
Roberts, candidate for Congress. His nd
dress was an able, searching, but temperate
arraignment of Radicalism, his arguments
being fortified with evidence from Republ-
can sources alone. He was listened to with
marked attention, and at the close of his
speech was warmly applauded and compl-
mented.
He was followed by DR.. J. L. Forwood,
the Democratic mayor of the Republican city
Chester, Pa, also n candidate for Congress.
He said the vote in Pennsylvania ON the 7th
of November next, would surprise nearly
every one outside of the State, and that with
fair count of the votes in PHILADELPHIA,
Pennsylvania would go for Tilden and Hend-
ricks.
The meeting then adjourned until z p. NJ,
when Hon. VIM ]. Brien, of Baltimore city,
spoke. He compared the condition of affairs
in this country with that existing at the pres
ent time in Europe, Russia with her Sclaye
hordes is threatening the invasion of CONT
mental Europe, and in the same manner the
horde of Republican oflice-holders is threat
ening to overrun the whole of this fair land,
eating up the substance of the people.
Hon. Richard j. Cuttings, Presidential
Elector, was the next speaker. His address
was able, logical and interesting. He traced |
the history of the Republican party, showed
the insincerity of its pledges of reform, and
asserted that the only true party of reform
now in this country is the Democratic party.

Bring Your NeighbOrs.

There are hundreds of Democratic voters
in this county who arc too infrm to walk
and have no conveyance of their own in
which to go to the polls. Every Democrat,
therefore, who has conveyance should look
neighbor whom he can bring with him, who
would otherwise fail to attend. Get out your
four-horse teams and bring them in by the
wagon load, The crisis is upon us now,
and your services were never more needed.

Vote q Solid Ticket,

A moments thought will convince any
Democrat that if we are really to have Re.
form and better times under President Tilden
that is to be, he must have the assistance of
a Democratic majority in the House of Rep
resentatives. See to it, then, that your ticket
contains not only the names of the Tilden
and Hendricks electors, but also the name of
Hon. CHARLES B. ROBERTS for Con.
gress. Governor Tildcn desires no vote at
the expense of any Democratic candidate
for Congress.

Letter from Rev. Sylvanus Cobb, of Boston
Editor of the "Christian Freeman

Boston, December "a, 1859.
Dear Sr--It may be some satisfaction to Won
to be informed of the result of the trial of the
Peruvian Syrup" in my family. Ny daughter
was brought low by typhoid fever last spring,
and after the fever left her she continued very
weak, and the simplest food distressed her. For
months she remained in the same debiltated
condition; but from the the LIST of September
last, when she commenced taking the Syrup,
the digestive functions improved, and she stead.
lily gained strength and vivacity; and now,
having taken two bottles, she is restored to a
good state of health; indeed, she appears more
really healthy than she has for several years
past. am of opinion that the "Protoxidc of
Iron," contained in the Peruvian Syrup, was
adapted to her case, and effected what no other
known medicine could have effected.
Yours truly s. CoBB

Republican leaders would make it appear
that the civil war was carried on upon one
side simply for the benefit of the Radical
party, and not for the preservation of the
Union. Will the Boys who Wore the Blue
allow themselves to be placed in the invid-

strife only for the benefit of the Republican
party? We hope not. Let them rebuke
such pretence by voting for Tilden Hen

Hon. Charles b. Roberts.

Our candidate for Congress, whose name
heads this article, has been oanvassing our
county during the past week, and has won
for himself, by his manly bearing, his clear,
convincing and eloquent arguments In be-
half of the principles he professes, the high
regard and estimation Of every unprecedented
man who has heard him. Only look at the
contrast presented by his honest and open
declaration of the position he holds as can
didate, freely avowing his unalterable devo-
ton to the tenets and doctrines Of the Demo.
cratic party, as inculcated by the fathers OF
the Republic, and his warm and earnest sup
port of its Presidential candidates, TilGen
and Hendricks, compared with ttat he'd
by his opponent, Mr.. Harris, Who, the candi-
date of mongrel faction, protesting to &c
neither one thing or another, but Whcae lead
ers are Radicals Of the blacklist stamp, dares
not declare what his sentiments are, save in
the indefinite manner that he is no partisan,
but stands upon the broad comprehensive
line of something, which every one may I'M
derstand TO mean anything they please.
Yet we find his friends trying 10 gull Demo-
Gratis by stating that he is a Refcrmer, and
if they will vote for him, they viii vote for
Tilden.
We would say to all such, your efforts are
futile. Our people are too wide awake, tco
intelligent, to be hoodwinked by any such
measure. They intend to vote for Roberts.
They are convinced that the Democratic
patty will carry the second Congressional
district, and they intend that Hartford shall do
her partin making the majority such a one as
will place her in the foremost ranks of her
sister Democratic counties, and ertitls her
to the high honor of being the banner coun-
ty, the standard bearer of the Democracy of
our grand old State, the mother Of civil and
religious liberty upon the Western Hem is :
phere.
All hail Tilden, Hendricks, Roberts and
Reform, through, and by your triumph and
under your rule, our beloved country is again
to possess the inestimable blessing of an hon
est administration of its affairs, sound and
reliable currency, the re. establishment of its
commerce, Il revival of all its industries, me.
chanical and manufacturing, and necessarily
the advancement of its great agricultural in
terests, now so languishing and depressed.

We Must Have Democratic Congress.

The political outlook is bright for the r-
umphant election of Tilden and Hendricks
next Tuesday. There is indeed scarcely
room for doubt on that subject. To reap
the full fruits of such magnificent victory,
however, President Tildcn should have to
support him q House of Representatives
pledged like himself to the cause of Reform,
and ready to do all in their power to lift
from the shoulders of the people the griev-
Gus burdens laid upon them by Radical mis-.
government. 1t is therefore of the utmost
importance that Maryland should send an
unbroken Democratic delegation to Wash
ington. The Republicans are perfectly
aware that the fight for Hayes and Wheeler
in Maryland is hopeless one, but they are
striving by political strategem, to elect one
or more members of Congress from our State
In this district they have nominated no can
ddate, but are supporting Hon. J. Morrison
Harris with the hope Of defeating our pres
ent able and excellent representative, Hon,
Charles b. Roberts. They are plying every art
know to politics TO accomplish this result
even to offering TO vote for Tidcn themselves,
in order to secure vote for Harris. Let no
Democrat or true reformer be deceived by
such means. Every man who honestly de-
sires change sho uld vote for Tilden, Hen
bricks and Roberts A vote for Harris will
be casting an obstacle in the way of Reform.
