TnE DrTrKREscE.-fn go, 's4, '6s
and ~, the Democrats entered upon the
Presidential canvass without unity, enthu-
siasm- or prospect Of success. Defeat
stared them in the face from the start.
In '76 they are united, confident and en-
thusiastic, with leaders worthy Of their
following. They will contest every inch
Of ground with their opponents, satisfied
that victory i within their grasp. This
Is the first time in sixteen years that they
have entered the contest on equal terms
with their opponents, and they are resolved
to win. The fates at last seem propitious,
and all the indications point to victory.

A YEAR OF ABUNDANcE.-This has
indeed been year Of unparalleled abun.
dance in Maryland. A bountiful Provi.
dence has literally blessed our farmers in
their basket and in their store. Their
fields have teemed with golden grain; their
orchards and their vineyards have yielded
abundantly and their presses have literal
" burst out with new wine. It is a rare
thing for all the crops to turn out well the
same season, but such has been the case
in this county, this year-grass, wheat,
rye, barley, oats, potatoes, buckwheat, corn
and fruit. We are in receipt of letter.
from Eastern Maryland which concur ia
saying that all the crops are equally good
in that part Of the State.
