The Strength Of First Love.

Joseph Thompson, the learned Balti-
more blacksmith, has taken the stump in
favor of the Democratic ticket. Twoyea
ago he was the leader Of the workingmen's
party. AT meeting in Baltimore, on
Monday night, being asked to define his
position, he stated
Well, will do so, aud, like the school boy
with his geography lesson, will say it is
bounded on the north by Hon. VIM, Il. Ham
ilton; on the east by Hon. Ferdinand c. La.

cratic ticket, aud on the south by the hearts
Of the people. When ] stepped outside of

current which took me with it; but times have

Which is the Extrayagant Party

The Sentinel asserts that the Democratic
party is, but assertions are easily made,
Facts cannot be controverted The last
year of Republican rule the levy was 40
cents The Democrats for this year have
levied so cents. Take off 10 cents for
public schools, which tax the Republicans
did not have, and we have levy of 3S
cents TO do what the Radicals levied 40
cents. 1t must also be remembered that
the Democrats have much larger expenses
for roads, bridges, and court charges, and
debt to provide for left US by the Radi-
cal party.

More .'racts far the Paople. 2

When property owners pay taxes they do
not look so much 10 the rate as TO the amount
Of the bin aud despite all claims made BY
the 4drocate, IN behalf Of Democratic econu-
my, we assert that heReople Of Carroll coua.
| ~ are paying MORE MONEY ii the shape Of
taxes than ever before Let each farmer
compare his tax bills when wheat was bring
ing from & to $500 per bushel, with the tax
bills Of the past tive or three years with the
price OF wheat at 05 TO Sl.l0 and let him
make answer, Our columns are open to
the replies.
The above isfrom the Seatiaei, and is
intended to mislead the people into the
belief that the Republican party conducted
the affairs Of the county at one.half what
they now cost. 1t is not fair Statements
and is but another sample Of the speeious
arguments the Sentinel is using in its en-
deavor to humbug the people into putting
the Radical party in power. Before the
county had Radical debt; before it had
to levy II cents for public schools, before
ii had SO many roads to keep up; before
court business had grown so large, and the
other growing necessities had TO be met,
the Republicans were in power. They
levied more for tho county expenses, cath
ont these items, than do the Democrats.
This has been shown, and conelusively
shown, aud the Seatiael has not attempted
to disproye it, for it well knows its ina
bility.
When the farmer got $3.50 bushel
far wheat, aud paid his taxes in the depre-
ciated currency, he received that same de-
preeiatcd currency from the Radical eoun-
ty commissioners for working roads, build
ing bridges, acting as witness, for jury
service, &C. The Radical commissioners
levied deprecated money as taxes, and
paid all county expenses in the same cur
rency. What difference, then, did it make.
When the farmer was getting $3.50 per
bushel for wheat, gold dollar was worth
about S2.75, He received about ninety
cents bushel for his wheat in good money,
and every dollar he received from the
county for services Of any kind was worth
only about thirty-six cents The Seatiael
cannot eontroyert these facts, and its eff
forts by disingenuous arguments to the far
mer cannot but recoil to its own disadvan-
tage.

Stolen Property Forxn. "A dispatch from

When Mr. James A. Gary, the Radical
candidate for governor, speaks here Oh the
2lst, will he tell the people something Of
the days, few years back, when he wasa
member Of the State Central Committee .
Perhaps he can tell something about the
appointment Of special policemen, election
judges, registration officers and clerks.
Perhaps ho knows why there was no sep
arate ballot-box kept for rejected ballots in
1867, aud why Democrats were arrested
on the eve Of eloetiou and retained until
the polls were closed. II he knew about
these matters and sanctioned them, i
would be interesting to voters to know it

The School Fund.

4 writer in the Sentinel for two weeks
past has been endeavoring to east reAee-
ton upon the honesty of Col. John X
honeywell, by an intimation that he has
squaudcred $4,000 Of invested school
funds. This matter has been satisfactorily
explained in the ADVOCATE twice, and the
Sentinel, if it knows anything on the sub
ject, well knows it. II was brought up
several years ago for political effect, and
laid bare, mud is again paraded to effect
the election this fall. The man or set Of
men who sock to tarnish the character Of
Col. Lougwcll, by insinuatins corruption
or dishonesty against him, but do diseredit
to themselves, He is too well known as
an honest, upright aud worthy gentleman
to be injured by such publications.

Win the lSeatiaei tell its readers that in
1867, the last year the Republicans con.
trollcd the finances of this county, they
levied 40 cents OF the 500 for county
purposes, withou. any school tax, and that
the Democrats, for the present year, have
levied only IS cents on the 500 for SINH
lar purposes Which party is entitled to
the greatest credit for the practice Of
economy, the Republicans or the Demo.
