ltneaied by the great poet in the follow
ing lines'
"1ngfatitude, thou marble hearted fiend,
Most hideous when thou showest thyselfin man.
If be is not sincere 10 his advocacy Of
that party then he developsgiA himself
character far more contemptible than
that OF The blind sycophant, "a seFni he
so generously applies 10 othersl. ,Tro-
ly he is "a living contradiction Of him
self. And is this the man that would
dictate TO the democratic party for the
purpose Of securing its defeat in The flu

II Mr.. RaIey i. a dead dog and has

The following sentence, every dog has
his day and apprehend that Jas, IT,
Nj. lRalsy has had his IN ST. Mary's
county what is the use Of lighting
him. II seems to me il would be more
generous TO extend helping hand to a
fallen foe than 10 be administering gra-
tuitous kicks after he is down. u ar-
lprfhend, however, this writer Is fearful
that, notwithstanding Mr.. Raley bas
been defeated ONCE. be may yet rise,
Phenlx like from his ashes, and be an
obstacle in the way, mol Of the success
Of the democratic party, hut 81 some

are founded upon mere assumption. The
candidates were selected under " bat Is
known as the Craw ford system; every
democrat who chose had reh, 90 run
for The nom:pation and every democrat
&c voter The right and privilege to vote
for his choice. Due notice OF the cleo
ton was given, and Il many al the yo-
ters did not choose 10 exercise their IN.
esiimable right why the fault was with
themselves II candidates we're selected
whom some did not approve. Tie re-
publican success was caused moi BY any
Encouragement OF Mr.. RaleY. and he
had NOT the whole management but by
so many Leading democrats, some Of
them possessing much influence, &C.
ccptng republican endorsement aud

republicans a certain amountof strength,

republicans would give 50 much for
nothing. II vas not Mir. Relays mis-

that none Of these gentlemen will ad-
