When the late General Forrest
was slave-dealer in Memphis, it is
said that he was always kind to the
human beings he sold; he never
separated members OF family, and
always told his slaves to go out in
the city and choose their own mas
ters. Not one ever took advantage
of this permission to run away.
Forrest taught them that it was to
their own interest not TO abuse the
privilege, and he also taught them
to fear him greatly, To some men
who had the reputation of being
cruel masters, he would never sell a
slave.

il and will you not repair the fault made then
by giving him your hearty aud unanimous
support al the coming primaries viii you
suffer your prejudices, engendered by that strife
which is now buried with the things Of the
past, to crafty themselves with a momentary
pleasure in the defeat Of this statesman who
can be so useful to you 10 your Legislature?
If you we're about to build house would you
cast aside master carpenter who understood

When you wish legislation which will decrease
taxation, will you cast aside the man who, you
know, can accomplish it, because he differed
with you once but now agrees with you, simply
10 give position TO one who through his
ignorance and inability will be more likely to
create laws increasing instead Of diminishing

Town Government.

Mr.. Editor win tho Sentinel be kind
enough TO insert in its columns the following
article on the Town Of Rockville and its gov
ernnent:
Our Town presents an anomalous condition
in the way Of . corporation in free State,
under Democratic ruls.
The people OF this town have no voice in the
selection OF its rulers, neither are its rulers
amenahe to The citizens for their conduct in
office. By some political egerdemaiu IN legis-
lation, the County Commissioners select the
Commissioners for Rockville.
SO that at present the choice Of the rulers
for this town no longer rests with its citizens,
bat is vested in FIVE gentlemen residing in
different portions Of the county, the nearest
one of The Eve living more than nine miles
from the town. From this it would seem that
there is one spot in the State of Maryland
where the principles Of Democracy have been
ignored, and PEOPLE found incompetent of self
government. ! have not word Of complaint
or reproach against the County Commits
sioners, doubtless they have discharged the
duty Of appointing officers to rule over the
Town of Rockville according to the best Of
their Judgment, but it presents sad spectacle
and subject for still sadder reflection to
realize the fact that in the shire town of our
county, whose residents are chiefly the county
officers, the lawyers and the merchants, place
above all others in the comfy, where refine
ment and intelligence should find its abode, in
that place the citizens are disqualified or in-
competent to select their own officers Ia
former days tho citizens Of the town had the
right and privilege of selecting the officers to
rule them, there is no evidence that they ever
proved unworthy OF this great trust, or this
most sacred Democratic right il not, will the
persons who dared TO invade this sacred right
explain why and wherefore the citizens of
Rockville are not allowed to select their own
officers
The citizens of Rockville have slept already
too long upon this matter, aud it is to be hoped
that our next Legislature will heve the wisdom
to see the injustice of past legislation on this
subject, and will remit TO the people Of Rock-
vile the right to select their own rulers and
officers through the ballot box. The time is
now come for this experimental reconstruction
to be done away with, even in the little town
OF Rockville. Its citizens are competent and
worthy to be trusted II there are thos,
in our midst unwilling to trust the people
through the ballot box, let them be known, fol-
it is safe rule that he who is unwilling tC
trust the people is unworthy their reepecI and
confidence.
To all such rs favor the appointment 10 be
continued in the hands of the County Commits
sioners we would commend a careful perusa
of the veto Of Gov Kemper, OF Va, rslativ,
to certain appointments for the town of Peters
burg RocKyiLLIAS.

Mr. Editor The ridiculous address that

that should recommend him for the office of

willing. This consider unfair. | certainly
should not be forced to recommend n gentle
man who can so well recommend himself.
do confess that Mr.. S. w. Davis has been beg
ging very hard for my mantle to fall on his
shoulders, and he has promised me fair re-
ward for the mantle His own words will ex-
press his promise best. June 9th land that is
not two months ago. he says "You can have
real control of the Survey orship il you make
me the nominee County Surveyor. You can
DO the poirer behind The throne and have due
share Of the emoluments; in fact you can d.
rect the whole business And now because
the mantle wouldn't fall, he tells the good poo
pie that two months ago made my political
will and said, ''stand still, Silas Wright Da-
Wis, and let my mantle fall upon your Shout
dsrs, while one month ago he was still beg
cling for it, Here is contradiction Of dates
l acknowledge that WAS not little surprised
to discover that the County Surveyorship is
never knew it until Mr.. Davis so published il
And If it is, all can say is that the good peo-
pie OF Montgomery county have bestowed
upon me an honorable legacy, and this kind
ness must arise from the fact that have al
ways tried to do my duty in executing the Of
fee.
And as the people have been so kind as to
bestow it 10 my keeping, do not think that I
would be treating them well to pretend to give
il away before they themselves decree that |

assure them that have never offered it to Mr.
w S. Davis, and that shall never undertake
TO bequeath that to any other that does not be-
long to me- but is only in my keeping for the
time allotted and that will be always will
ing TO resign in favor Of the man of their
choice.
Now Mr.. Editor, If you will be kind enough
10 publish the above so that the people may
be assured that ] am carly on my feet and in
better health than have oeen for the last six
wears, and am willing TO servo them AS hereto
fore / have no doubt that thoy will this
coming election again decree that mantle still
TO remain on my shoulders. | promise them
that it shall be respectfully worn as their gift
and not as an heirloom Of my family.
