Strides, Mutual and the Little Mule.
Letter from the Little Mule.

What would we do without our newspapers !?
CHANGING over Sykesville notes in our county
paper was entertained by the little .'mulish''
incident in the history of Strides and his Mutual
friend, 10 fact was prone to soliloquize-
Into rocking chair sinking
betook myself TO linking
Fancy into fancy,
thinking what this smiling, pleasant, bright.
eyed, handsome Mutual meant in tatiing so.
Strides has certainly been gnil,y Of blun.
der in bis selection Of a Mutual His Autu-
ais detects mot physical, for he is certainly
a ..swaie young mon, arc very many.
Would you believe il? The "Liltle Mule
hasn't dimple.
Query. What makes Mutual see dimpies
when there are none? Is il because those
bright eyes Of his are defective, or Is il the
effect ola vigid iuaginaiionl | think Mutual
is not true 10 Strides, when be published him
in the papers. But, II Strides Is blind to his
own interest in choosing for his Mutual one
who must aud wU make mistakes, we can
only sympaihize with Strides and say Young
men, beware Of such Mutuals Being Thar
messed up IS not half so dangerous. If
Mutual was only one story higher might say
more. LITTIR MuIE.

Nav WINDSOR, Mn, March 4, 1850.
On Tuesday last several gentlemen from
our town paid a visit to the Legislature in the
interest Of Local Option" and became pretty
well aware of the status of Carroll delegates
on the subject The gentlemen were fully
convinced that il our four representatives
would ask for the passage Of the Claw" the
Legislature would readily consent thereto.
Conversation was held with each delegate,
with the exception Of Mr.. Grouse, who was
absent, and learned with regret that our dele
CATION was far from unit on the subject.
One delegate expressed himself as being de-
termined 10 use every means in his power TO
defeat the Bill when before the House. We
were much pleased with the attitude OF Mr..
Yanderford, our worthy Senator, on the sub,
iect. He assured us that 10 day or two the
bill would pass the Senate, 1.-The same bill sent
him from Westminster.i Mr.. Nanderiord
treated US with marked courtesy and kindness
and presented us to number of Senators,
including Senator.eleet German. He Mr..
yanderlord) suggested the reference Of our
Local Option Bill to the county delegation,
whiei viii be accordingly done. Among
other arguments used for the special election
feature of the bill was this oue-that the
temperance people Of Carroll county are vii.
ling to act as judges and clerks of the election
without compensation, so that the county will
not be at any expense whatever, so far as
that is concerned. We are glad to state that
1 tho gentleman from New Windsor district,
Mr.. VIM. I, Smith, is active in the behalf OF
this great cause Of temperance, and is doing
all he can to secure us the right OF voting on
this matter, which, Of course, secures the
eommendation of all good people.
Spring is approaching and the farmers are
getting ready for work, and ut the same time
''matrimonial candidates are multiplying"

Of Alexander on tho whole Oriental world;
and the ''Romance of Modern Travel, which
calls to mind many old friends among sports

speeSh,a al the recent New York State Re
publican convention, advocating the reso-
Iutions iustracting the delegates TO the
national convention to vote rs unit for
Gen. Grant, was hastily read aud speedily
forgotten. BY reference to it, it will be
seen that he urged the selection Of Gen.
Grant because the party needed "strong
man. The Democrats, he declared, were
conspiring to carry the next election by
fraud, Intimidation, &C., and in order for
the Republicans to be successful strong
man, such as Gen. Grant, must be chosen
for leader. Under the constitution and
laws one man is as strong and as powerful
as another, and the term "strong man, as
used BY Senator Conkling, means man
who win go beyond the constitution and
laws to secure place to which his party
claims him to have been elected.
In open convention, with stenographers
to report him to the country, Senator Conk-
ling could not unfold the Republican plans
for carrying the next election, as agreed
upon BY the managers, He aud Don Cam
eron hold the power TO defeat any Repub-
lican nominee. Their States cannot be
carried for the Republicans without their
hearty cooperation aud management, and
without the vote Of each State the Repub-
lican nominees caanot be elected, They
stand in position to dictate to the party,
and they have taken advantage Of their
opportunity. Gen. Grant is their choice for
President, and they propose to nominate
him at Chicago, and the party must sub
init or march to inevitable defeat, Cam
eron and Conkling are aware Of tae disin-
tegratiou Of their own party and the aceu-
mulating strength ofthe Democratic. They
see no hope of success with any other Re-
publican than Grant Ilo is the ''strong
man to carry them safe through the con
test. His actions during the uncertain
and exciting days of 1867, when Mr..
Hayes was counted into his present posi-
tioa against the expressed will Of the peo-
pl,. commend him to their confidence.
Tbey purpose securing success at tic en-
suing election at all hazards, and if it be
necessary to stife the voice of any State
70 compass their ends, Gen. Grant, they
belive. viii be the necessary ''strong man"
10 strengthen The movement and make it
successful.
Ia this view Of the situation, and We
believe il TO be the correct one, republican |
government is trembling in the balance.
Should the plans of the Republican mana /
gers sacceed, republican government in
reality will be goue--its shadow only will /

napcr's Weekly is inconsolable over
the action Of Pennsylvania and New York
in instrueting their delegates to the Chicago
convention to vote as unit for Grant. 1t
claims that national convention should
be a convention FOR consultation as to the
best leaders to select, aud to take into con
sideration the best interest Of the party.
Delegates should not be instructed at all,
it believes, and the unit rule is especially
distasteful to it. Under that proceeding
in the New York convention 2l7 delegates
voted to stiilo the voice Of lS0 delegates,
and in the Pennsylvania convention 1873
delegates disrfanchised the constituents Of
ll3 delegates. This it calls gag law.
