A Liberal Offer.

Having arranged clubbing terms with
the North American Review, we are en-
abled to offer that foremost of American

learn of the defeat of so unjust and un-

ness by the great grandsCns Of his former owner,

PUT A FRESH COAT ON HIM.

The "galvanie" editor Of the Elicott City Pro-
yrss' backs and ellis, oOnfesses. avoids and denies.
Truly he needs fresh coat Of "galvanism." We
need only refer to one statement 10 his article Of
last week to show the utter falIaey Of his position
lie says:
"In the spring Of 1877, while Mr. wilkins was
Collector, Republication was abandoned and the
"potato- bug" party was inaugurated. and in July
oithat year Mr.. Thomas was re-nominatsd and
hs found the party In such . disOrganirsd eondi-
ton that II was beyond his power 10 again reduce
the Democratic majority that year."
The Progress may not know, but intelligent
readers know that the "pOsA,O.bag" party was In
augurated In Is75-not Is77-and that the move
msnt elected Mr.. Harris, Governor, and Mr.. VIII
kins. Comptroller. Intelligent people also know
that Mr.. Fulton. In his remarkable letter TO the
President. In June, 1877, said "if you will ap-
Poin, to Office the gentlemen named by Mr.. Thomas
and myself It will slec,rify the whole State and
We confidently promise the election Of . Reform
Mayor in October Mr.. Thona, was appointed,
bat was the Reform Mayor elected. The figures
showed the Reform candidate for Mayor. whose
ELECTION "Mr Thomas aud myself j,ros.i.ed. re-
eeised only 800 votes. Il looks to Us rs IL the
candidate might have been struck by the com
bined force Of the electricity of"Mr. Thomas and
myself" and the shock Of "galvanism" changed
the editor Of the Proyrss. To a Republican.
IL Mr.. Thomas superior mana cement can do
so much why could he no, reduce the Democratic
majority In 1877 The whole party mana cement
was in Ii. La~d. from 1876 to 1879, ye, the Re-

Of himseif and his friends. This i. known TO the
