How strange it is that the Republican party

truthful, and everything that is good and pure,
not tinged with even shade of impurity-
immaculate, without spot and without blem.

cratic party down in the very depths Of vice
unscrupulously appropriating the public
money to the use ofprlvate individuals; cheat.

low, contemplate and mean. This is the
way ut least in which the members of the
former party contrast themselves with those
of the latter. The american Sentinel sends
out her sheets, free, over the county to both
Republican and Democrat, proclaiming the
latter as having embezzled or at least squan.

The trial OF Felix Munshaner for the muir.
der ofhis cousin, James l.. Wetzal, near EN-
mittsburg. on the 9th of August last, and
which had been progressing in the Frederick
Circuit Court for four days, came to an end
on Monday. WIN. r. Maulsby, jr, one OF
Munshauer's counsel, related to the court that
on the Friday evening previous the jury had
purposes, and whilst there had talked with
the BARRIERS concerning the trial. Nothing Of
Importance wac spoken OF, nor was there any
criminality attached TO the proceeding Of the
bailiff taking the jury there; but the Court held
that il was an irregularity and would vitiate any
verdict tho jury might render, and discharged
the jury and closed the case until December,
when II will be begun again. The case cost
about $1,000 for the four days,

Il is said by some persons anxious TO be
able TO assign a reason for cutting their tick.

colored people the right to vote. We call at.
ton TO the 10th amendment to the constitu

United States TO vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States, or by any
State, on account Of race, color or previous
condition Of servitnde.
Section 2, The Congress shall have power
to enforce this article by appropriate legisla-
