THE SIXTH DISTRICT.

There appeared in the Baltimore Bulletin Of
the 23rd ult. what professed TO be an inter-
view with Hon. VIM. 7. Hamilton upon the
status OF affairs in the sixth district, from
which it appeared that Mr. Hamilton had been
indulging in some very unwse and migrate
full talk, which, had it not been corrected,
would have proved very detrimental to Mr..
Hamilion's own aspirations as well as damag-
ing 10 the Democratic promises Of success in
the present campaign. BY reference to let
ter from Mr. Hamilton to Hon. e. B. Pretty
man, published in another column, it will be
seen that the profcssed Interview is a fabrica-
ton and attributable 10 newspaper impert-
nence.
A day or two after the publication of the
said interview q reporter of the Baltimore
Gazette called upon Mr. German, in order to
get bis views upon the situation in Maryland
and particularly in regard to the sixth dis
trict. Mr.. German upon being questioned
said that he did not credit the report of the
Hamilton interview, and gave out as his be-
lief that Mr.. Hamilton would not be guilty of
SO jeopardizing the hopes of the party with
which be is so strongly identified in all inter-
ests even TO personal ambition. Mr.. German
also denies that Mr. Peter is the candidate of
the canal ring, and that the only time that
Mr. Peter acted with the canal was last winter
when he voted for the bill advancing the mon
ey for the repairs caused by the freshet
He also referred to the fight in this county be-
tween Mr.. Peter and Mr.. Prettyman, saying
In this connection that it was clear and con-
vincng test Of Mr.. Peters standing when he
had beaten a man Of such popularity and
distinction as Mr.. Prettyman. Upon being
questioned as to the strength of the Green
back element in the District he said that in
A!legany and Washington they would get
some support, but he was not informed from
which party would come the bulk of their
strength. In conclusion of the interview Mr..
German predicted that in very short time
there would be no traces of dissensons in the
Democratic ranks of the Sixth District and
that all things pointed 10 success for Mr..
Peter.
To this latter part we Can bear witness
Frederick City will wheel into ranks, in fact,
has already done SO. The Union has hoisted
Mr.. Peters name and has gone TO work for
him with all that interchangeable energy of
which it is capable. And again Mr.. Peters
reception there last week shows at once that
the good Democrats Of that section recognize so
plainly the Importance of the duty of the hour
that they will be found with all their might
on the day of election striking against fraud,
roguery and oppression. That the main
strength of the Greenback movement will
come from the Republican ranks in Allegany
we are convinced by the coaxing and cagol-
ings in the Cumberland Ne,os brought to bear
upon their semi-brethren. Dissensiou Il our
ewn ranks is dying away. All are buckling
on their armor and again we repeat that in
response TO the tiGings from the highlands
Montgomery will send back her response and
to the whole Democracy of the United States
who are attentively listening TO the sounds Of
the battle in this district she will send forth
the watchword all is we'll
