va The following "card" is from the Wood
berry Ne,os of last week. We publish it just as
it appeared in that sheet:
HAMPDEN CAMPAIGNING.
HAMPDEN CAMP GROUND (Colorcd)
August 25th, 1875.
Mr. Editor We as ministers in the discharge
of our duty, do think it is hard that cannot
worship God according to our belief, without be-
ing slurred at in the manner which the Towson-
town paper has stated, but will impute it to the
ignorance of the party who done They stated
that we looked like we chad bucket of cold wa
ter thrown down our backs" and they also said
Cooked like set of crazy peoples" but, as ig-
nOrance is the father of prejudice, we will hope
that he may learn that there is a God to worship.
We shall pray for his conversion, as the Great Je-
hovah wished not the death of sinner but would
rather he would be converted and live. 1t would
not have cost Mr.. LOngnecker any more to have
spoken in our behalf through his paper Hemust
remember if he has no soul to save, he has a rep
utation to restore. So, Mr.. Editor of the Wood
berry Nevs, you will do us a favor by allowing us
a small space in your paper to bring this to the
memory Of the above named person; he and his
party kept us in ignorance as long as they could,
and would do it yet But, thank God, we are free
to serve God according to our opinion. We have
held camp here in Hampden, we have had excel
lent order, we have not been made open fun of,
and we return our sincere thanks for the fayOrs
the good people of this neighborhoodh has rendered
us. We will close this communication by asking
you if you will oblige us with the above named ia
vOr. COMMITTEE CAMP MEETING.
We pronounce this "card" an unmitigated pack
of lies, instigated by that prince of scoundres, F.
L. Morling, of the Woodbery News. It's unne-
cessary for us to comment on the "card." 1t is so
manfestly absurd that allusion to it seems almost
uncalled for.
To set the minds of this "Commttee" at rest
and to show its members-if they are responsible
for the publication-thatt they have done us great
injustice, give below eractly ,chat did say of
their meeting, and if they think our remarks
''slurs," all have to say is they welcome to
do so.
On the 26th of Aug. appeared in our local col
umns "Only this and nothing more" viz:
"Hampden colored camp keeps up the spirit of
religious enthusiasm. 1t is we'll attended, and o
daily augmentation by new converts, with good
order and discipline the features noticeable in
its continuance. The exercises will probably con-
tinue until the middle of next week.
MOrling, after doing us the injustice to publish
this card in his dirty sheet knowing it to be false
in so far as it audes to us, has the impudence to
offer his sympathies to us in the loss of Office
All we have to say is that before we would accept
sympathy or ask assistance from such william
we know him to be, we would beg our bread from
door to door.
We desire to have it understood that we do not
intend to be drawn into a newspaper controversy
with this "shyster," as we consider him unfit to
associate with or be noticed by any descent, hon
est man.

Persecution.

Even this early in the canvass, and before all
the States have held their Democratic Conven-
tons and appointed their electors, the fell work
fpersecutiOn for opinions sake has already be-
gun. Editorial after editorial is being written
to prescribe the colored man should he not at
once assist in forming Tilden and Hendricks col
Ored clubs, and speech after speech is being made
to urge the "white liner" and ''the boys in gray"
to give united Southern vote to their old friends
and allies, through whom alone they expect all
their cotton and war claims and the rebel debt to
be paid No signs could be more encouraging to
the Republican voters and friends of the Union
than the desperate plan they are pursuing and
the wild schemes they are devising to accomplish
their ends
In the Southern States every candidate for
nomination with the faintest tinge of conserva-
tism about him has been ignored for the "chiv-
airy" who headed these cohorts when they failed
to destroy the Union of our fathers; and their
leaders to-day are the very men who rushed the
country into the blOOdiest and bitterest war of
which there is any record. They know too well
that it is the old rebel war yell alone that will
rouse them to action, and that their only chance
of success in the coming election is gone for ever
if single Southern electoral vote is east for
Hayes and Wheeler. Their desperation is in
ereasing as they witness the old Republican
ranks falling into line, closing up to man, and
marching shoulder to shoulder to the old music of
"The Union Forever" Eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty, and the old Republican guards
who saved the Union from destruction are still
on the watch tower and will remain there till
victory crowns cause in November.

He WILL Nor GO TO ST. JoHNs.-A short time
ago competitive examination took place before
the School Board for the free scholarships in St..
Johns College, at Annapolis. Joseph Bayne and
N. Frank Cofell, the latter of the 9Th district,
were the successful candidates. Mr.. Coiell was
made aware of his success and after being handed
his bond in blank proceeded to his home to have
Improperly signed, &c. This being done he return
ed to the School Commissioners office and handed
in his paper to the Examiner when he was polite
ly informed that Harry c. Hall, son of Capt. JAS
Hall, had been selected in his place. and that if he
desired course at st. Johns he could get it by
paying for it like everybody else. Mr.. Cofell
was very much put out at this treatment, as were
also several of the delegates from his district to
Mondays Democratic convention. 1t is likely
there will be heard of this business hereafter.

~ And now there is serious trouble in the
camp. The Mt Washington Tilden and Hen
bricks club refused to send delegates to the Cen.

alone. In other words they don't propose to
obey the dictates of the "ather" of all the clubs
but will just run little side-show on their own
account. By this action of the Mt. Washington
club it has settled the business for ITSELF No Of

THE FIRST GUN!
10000 Repubtican Majority in Vermont


An election took place in Vermont on Tuesday,
the Republicans sweeping the State by largely in
creased majorities over any previous election.
The majority for Fairbanks, candidate for Gov
ernor, will reach something over thirty thousand.
The canvass was q most exciting one throughout,
each party exerting itself to get out every vote.
The State heretofore has given small Republican
inajorities, which the Democrats tried hard to
reduce, but without avail, the Republicans rolling
up heavier vote than ever heretofore.
ANOTHER GREAT vICTORY
An election for City Councilmen took place in
Wilmington, Delaware on the same day. Here
tofore the city has given Democratic majorities
but this time she comes up nobly to the
work. electing nine out of eleven Councilmen
and carrying eight out of ten wards. The major
tiles range from l 200 to I,4OO.
The signs of the times are prOpitiOus. Every
thing looks bright for the cause of Republicanism
Let the good work 60 until November 18th and al
will be well.

LOSSES BY FIRE.-In noticing the fire at Tow
sontown the Hartford Democrat of last week says
"0n Monday Mrs. Tarbert's tavern house, also in
Baltimore county, and insured in the Hartford
Company for S4OO, was destroyed by fire. These
losses, together with preceding ones during the
past few weeks, will involve the company in debt
to the extent of about $4,000, and will probably
necessitate levy of five per cent the notes OF
the policy holders ofthe company. This company
has lost heavily by fire in the past few years, and
particularly in Baltimore county"
