The Clear Record to Win.

Mr. Editor IL have seen the letter of a
solicitious and backbiting order from one
of our late delegates, who has announced
himself as q candidate for State Senator,
and who wishes to go before the people on
the record he made at Annapolis, while
voting to exempt mortgages, which | look
upon as an outrage on his late confding ag-
ricultural constituents, for the day of that
kind of class-legslation is past, and ii comes
with bad grace from one who was sent to
Annapolis as a professed reformer. He well
knows that if the money that is now hidden
under the exemption laws on real estate was
taxed as other property, our taxes would be
reduced one-fourth, and be no extra draw
back to the borrower, and sensible and hon
est capitalists would prefer a mortgaged note
in preference to one that is not secured. So
the less he says about his newly made record
the more chance he will have to get the vote
of some unsuspecting double taxpayer But
as the bone and sinew of the land become
enlightened, they will not allow themselves
TO be voted in the interest of monied sharks,
who grow wealthy on sturdy labor, and If
laborers dare show that they have an opin-
ion of their own, they are accused of be-
longing to this or that ring; but ring or no
ring, the candidates that can show the clear
est records on voting to tax mortgages and
keep our schools running four quarters as
the school law contemplated, will be the
honored at our primaries, and all those who
would like to try their chance in the politi-
cal mill, either for high or low position,
had better see that their records are clear on
that score, for the honest poor, who are al
ways with us, will not allow themselves
longer TO be the tools of unfaithiul politi-
clans against their own interest, as shown
by the double taxes they pay and the empty
school houses all over our county, which
was brought about by bigoted politicians
Oh, what an outrage on the honest poor
who often have to mortgage all they are
worth to secure debt which amounts to
one-half of their property! Yet they must
be compelled by law to pay taxes on its full
value, while the MORTGAGE, who virtually
owns the property, pays nothing and this
is what is termed reform by the candidate
for State Senator, but he took good care not
TO mention it, whilst trying to run down our
honored late State Senator, whose shoes,
politically, he will find he is not worthy to
unlace, when both records are placed side
by side. JUSTICE.

party throughout the entire State are too
strongly united to its ideas, its history and
its destiny to brook a .disorganization OF
split that will weaken il in the presence of
the enemy unless there be some strong reason
shown. No such reason has been shown.
No measure has been proposed---no evil

There are measures of improvement which
ought to be carried through and which will
be carried through at the next session of the
Legislature; but this can be done best by
the harmonious and not by the disunited
action of the Democracy. The body of the

Announcements.
To the Democratic and Conservative
Voters of Montgomery County.

Fellow Citizens - Encouraged by the solicit
tations OF friends in various parts Of the
county, as well as by repeated assurances
that my course in the last Legislature met
the approval OF the people, / respectfully
announce myself a candidate for the next
SENATE Of the State. In doing so, how
ever, it is but due to myself to say, that
among the several measures of reirenchment
brought forward by myself in the last House
OF Delegates, were two in relation to the fees
OF lawyers in criminal cases-the one, TO limit
the appearance fee of the States Attorney, in
all cases of indictment for msdemeanor and
felony, 10 five dollars in each case, with such
additional compensation as the Judges of the
Circuit Court may RECOMMEND as reasonable
in cases of special labor; and the other, TO
restrict the appearance fee of the attorney APP
pointed by the Court to defend prisoner, TO
five dollars in all cases. The farmers and tax
payers of the county have these bills TO pay,
and have, also, the right, presume, through
their representatives in the Legislature, TO see
that they are not unreasonable,
The two measures above alluded to as hav-
ing been introduced by myself-and which we're
recommended by our present resident Judge of
the Circuit Court-passed The House OF Dele
gates without IL dissenting voice. and had
they not been defeated in the Senate through
who ! understand is again a candidate
would have saved the county considerable
sum. To my measures, reducing Ito something
like what they were before the war; the fees of
the Sheriff for keeping and feeding prisoners,
as also the fees of the Crier of Court, the
Senator had no objection but the moment |
undertook to reduce the fees of the lawyers in
criminal cases--alike paid by the county-the
Senator not only objected but had my bills
TO that effect defeated in the Senate, notwith-
standing, as said before, they had passed the
House of Delegates unanimously. These are
the facts shown by the record, a copy ofwhich
the Senator and myself both have-ether of
which, presume, is open to inspection.
| hope, therefore, it will not be considered
presumptious in me- in becoming candidate,
to let the people decide at the primaries
which OF us was right and which wrong
the State Senator or myself. | did all that
mortal man could do under the circumstances,
to reduce the expenses of the county where
they were not, more Immediately, under the
control of the commissioners, and would have
accomplished more than did, had | not been
iuterfered with by those equally entrusted
with the duty.
need hardly add that, If elected, ! shall
pursue the same course in the Senate | did in
the louse--support the Governor 10 his noble
efforts 10 reduce the overgrown expenses of
the State, and thus re-establish, SO far at least
as Maryland is concerned, that old long-lost
landmark Of Democracy economy in pub
he expenditures and which majority Of
our last Legislature were but too successful in
making secondary 10 their own interests

The Baltimore american of yesterday
states that among other prominent Mary
landers was Postmaster England, from
Rockville, Nd, paying the President an
ofice-seeking visit The american must be
mistaken as to our fellow-townsman. He,
like the host Of brave Maryland patriots
visiting Washington, denies calling on the
President either in his own or any other

In another column is letter Of Rev. S. r..
Whites very unjustly attempting to reprove
the SENTINEL for the publication of another
letter, last week, signed Ezekiel Crump,"
containing the sentiment of the author and
not that of the SENTINEL.
Rev. S. r. White demanded the name of
the author of the ezekiel Crump" letter.
After we had communicated with the author
Rev. s. r. White was informed that the letter
was not an attack upon him personally or
the church he unnecessarily seeks to defend.
AS matter of right, and for the information
of the public, we are compelled to have cor
respondents throughout the county, and
whenever we receive from them communi-
cations which can properly be published
under the we'll recognized law of this land,
that the 'press is free" we give them place
in our paper. We place ourselves upon this
broad platform: freedom TO worship God
according to the dictates Of conscience and
freedom of the press to discuss any and all
matters in which the public are interested
Upon these principles we have given S. r.
White the same privilege in our columns
that we accord to Ezekiel Crump. We only
regret the contracted and narrow views of the
gentleman construed the matter as person
ally intended for himself, and as derogatory
70 his religious views, when no one possess
ing sny liberalty of views could have so in
W. White 10,
derstand and know that we claim to b.
among the number that recognizes the Su
preme Being, and we possess too much ven
Grafton TO ever publish any letter or com
munication in our paper derogatory to thes'
views or to reflect upon or bring into ridi
cule or contempt any man or set of men fol
the mode they see fit to worship that Being
At the same time we do not propose to re
strict our publications to the measure of tn,
narrow and contracted mind Of the Rev. S
r. White
To his question whether we would hav,
published the same portion of the letter re
ferring to his religion if it had referred L
the Roman Catholic church, we answer in
the affirmative, and not as he presumptuous
~ answers for us in the negative.
As To his remarks in his very able protest
against what he terms "cowardly slurs and
insults" we regret the animus of such Ian
suage from professor and follower of thai
Supreme Being, whose teachings are meek
ness, love and charity. This language doe
not indicate an over supply Of those Christ
ian virtues, and without them we are told
aptly, that our professions are but as sound.

The Baltimore american of Saturday has
this to say: 'If the split in the Democratic
party continues to widen and deepen-the
Ring on one side the chasm, and the bogus
reformers on the other-there will presently
come the opportunity for which the Repub.
lican party has been waiting for years. 1t
is an opportunity which Republicans should
be ready TO embrace, and TO seize which
they should be willing to bury all factional
differences, and lay aside all personal rival.

be a possibility not only of a fair election,
but an honest count, and an honest count
would give tho battle to the Republicans,
