CRAcKLN DIsTRICT, July End, 1877.
Hr. Editor 1T is very gratifying to US of
Cracklin to notice that some kind friend Of
Medley's has brought before the people of the
county, through your columns, one o. our most
worthy and highly esteemed citizens, Mr..
Remus G. Dorsey, as a candidate for a seat in
the next House Of Representatives. 1t is with
great pleasure that | am able 10 concur with
my friend from Medley's when he speaks of
Mr.. Dorsey as one worthy and fully compe-
tent to fill the high position for which he has
consented to be a candidate, for in him we
have one who has always flied both his pri-
vate and public trusts with the most sacred
integrity he has served the people OF our dis
trict and county before and left his Office
without blemish upon his character he has
always been a consistent Democrat, following
the example of his ancestry, and we should
not lei feelings prompt us 10 lay aside gen.
tleman possessing the qualifications of our
friend from Cracklin to put in an ONCE of
such magnitude men who are entirely unfit to
Eli our Legislative Halls. | therefore hope the
people of our county will aid in sending such
of our fellow-ciuzens to these important posi-
lions as will be a credit to Old Montgomery
CRACkLIN.

We understand that the Hon. Montgomery
Blair has finally concluded, at the solicitation
of many Democrats, 10 become a candidate for
the Ilouse of Delegates. While we have in
the past sedu,onsly abstained from lending
the editorial columns Of our paper to the
advocacy of the claims of any particular
msn, considering them the property of the
whole party, yet We feel it our duty to the
party itself to advise the nomination o: Mr..
Blair who is so eminently adapted to the
necessities Of the hour.
We hear throughout the length of the
State the voice Of the people demanding
ability and capacity in official positions -
Ilnbecility and ignorance have worked mis-
chief and evil so long by their unfortunate
legislation that sutieriag people have de-
manded their exclusion from the legislative
halls Pernicous and disastrous laws carry
ing with Them their inseparable companion
excessive tsxaiion-have weighed down the
business prosperity OF our Stale long enough.
While the people for the qualification of their
prejudices and humors have been willing to
carry cheerfully the load of taxation for
several years, they have at last grown weary
and fatigued with the great burden and are
now anxiously looking around them for some
helping strength to relieve them of it, In
this their unfortunate extremity surrounded
by SO threatening peril as financial ruin, Mr..
Blair tenders his seryiyes to them. He comes
not as an oflice-seeAer, fawning with syco-
phantic and supercilicus bending Of the knee
at the feet Of the people, begging a seat in the
House of Delegates; for honors which belong
to few have been showerea upon him and "A
reputation envied by many follows his name
lie could neither achieve additional honor nor
add increased lusire TO his reputation by a
seat, in tho House Of Delegates. But he is
willing TO step forward, sacrifice personal ease
aud comfort TO lend his true attention and
ability in m earnest endeavor 10 alleviate the
public suiierings and distresses. That he will
be q master Of the situation and that success
will follow his labors, no one will doubt who
is acquainted with the able manner in which
he handled the Electoral Commission subject
At that time editor Of the Union, every morn
ing the columns Of his paper would thunder
forth nrelenting denGnciation of the uncon-
compromise, and predict with pro-

"A CARD.

A number of personal and political friends
have expressed TO me the desire that would
be a candidate from this county, this Fall, for
a seat in the State Senate.
To such kind expressions, my reply has
been, that the people through their represen-
tatves in the recent Democratic and Conser-
vative convention, lin the action of which /
had participated, and ia the main approved)
had determined at the primary meetings, to be
held at the time fixed by the Executive Demo-
cratic and Conservative Committee of the
county, to vote for and make their own
nominations. also stated that ifi they thought
proper to honor me with the nomination for
The Senate, | saw no reason why | should
decline it--that very important questions,
touching the finances, honor and dignity Of
the State, would be before the next Legsla-
ture in which had had some experience, and
in the just settlement Of which it would be
very agreeable for me TO participate.
will now add, that if honored with the
nomination and election, | will give to the
best interests of the State, and particularly TO
those of Montgomery county the same atten-
ton and devotion which my past life, and
the manner in which discharged former
public trust, affords the best guarantee and
assurance.

P. S.-Since writing the above, have re-
ceived the Rockville Sentinel, containing call
upon me in the same direction, with proiier Of
Democratic and Conservative support Highly
approaching this call and proder of support

specially with my thanks, beg leave TO refer

Mr.. Editor 1T was with great pleasure
that heard from Jadge Blair himself, that if
the Democratic party chose to nominate him
Tor the House of Delegates that be would serve
the people in that capacity.
Can we not consent this Fall to lay aside all
partisan spirit aud unite tie factions on man
whose thorough acquaintance with the public
men Of the State, as well as the public needs,
can be of inestmabc value 10 his County and
State.
In honoring him we honor ourselves ten
fold. Let those gentlemen, who talk so Flip
PANTY of breaking mp rings and ring rule,
show that they mean what they say, by voting
for men whose characters and attainments are
the best guarantee that we cannot be controlled
by outside influence. Respectfully

An Approval.

Mr.. Editor The people of the county
have now m opportunity of selecting a man
for the State Senate, whose natural ability
strengthened, as it is, by experience and
becoming acquirement-would give to the
position character second TO none in the
State. Ia other words, the people Of the
county have, in their midst, native born
citizen possessing the very qualifications neces-
sary TO fill the position, and one, too, who is
thoroughly identified with the Democratic
party. Such a man is ALLEN b. DAVIS.
and il is TO be hoped that the coming County
Convention, in making their selection, will be
influenced by the above considerations and
none other. SENECA.

There is great difference in the ranks Of the
Republican party respecting the correctness
ard sincerity Of the administration Of Presi-
dent Hayes Chamberlain and Blaine in their
fourth OF July speeches at Woodstock, Conn,
denounced the course Of the President in the
biterest terms. AT the conclusion Of these
addresses the Rev. Mr.. Stoddard said he didn't
think they represented the sentiments of New
England and called FOR all those who Endorsed
President Hayes policy to signify it by three
cheers Cheers for Chamberlain were then
called and loudly gvsn. That party seems to
be fast going 10 decay.

Daily unique occurrences shoot forth as If
deviltry. Such incidents will have their ef-
feet on the youthful mind either to deter
repetition, or have tendency to emul,e IN
the wicked acts in whatever life or position
they may happen. Baltimore county has had
9 few days since the strangest proceeding We
have yet ever heard Of. The Grand Jury has
indicted her two Judges for hindcring, as il
alleges, an investigation into some crooked
ness in the business of the Board of County
Commissioners by adjourniag the session of
Court before allowing sufficient time 10 makea
thorough search in the matter, and for the
purpose Of coneealing the crooked acts Of the
board The Judges maintain that the bust
ness of the Court was finished, and the ad-
jonrnmsnt was necessary 10 cur,ail further
expenses. Aside from Tie polluted action Of the
presidential Tribunal within our memory
never has the dignfed and honored Judges OF
this country been charged with maleasance in
office sufficiently bad to be thus proceeded
against. Who Of the parties are in error no
human being can divine. 1t may turn out that
the Judges have SO degraded their honorable
position ms 10 be in intrigue with those who
have the handling of the peoples money Baton
the other hand it might be- as the press assert,
