Neither Shall Boss.

Mr. EditOr In your issue of March 25th
appears an article taken from the Annapolis
Republ5caa, headed, divided Democracy"
II winds up with "The Democracy OF Mary
land having elected Mr. German TO the
United States Senate owe it 10 their own in =
tercst as well as justice to the Senator that
he suffers no defeat at their hands until he
has by omission or commission shown him
self to be unfit for the place. Give him
fair and full trial, and sustain him Mt home
that his influence and power may not be
diminished at Washington. He is the leader
of the Maryland Democracy, he is recog
nized as such in Washington, and MS the
leader OF his party has weight and influence
and power. You cannot defeat the man
agement in the coming election without
emasculating your leader and destroying
his influence and lessening his power to
serve his party
Doubtless the citizens of Maryland recog-
niZe the Hon. A. p German as Senator Of
the United States and indulge the hope that
he will prove worthy the confidence Of his
constituency, if in the exercise of his gaint
intellect they are convinced still further of
his superior worth and see fit To tender him
higher honors, presume they will see "'That
he suffers no defeat at their hands," Until
then they will expect him TO attend to his
Senatorial duties, whilst they will see THAT
the coming elections are 50 managed" that
the choice of the people will represent the
State.
We fail 10 see how the coming elections
will have anything to do With the Senator
in the discharge OF duty IN the council Of
the Nation how IL can add one grain to his
brain; how it might affect him in his indi-
vidual interests, we are not wise enough to
tell.
We do know this Tint Me~ managt1s
go called have managed TO II their poke 8
aud the pockets Ol many Of their r.en l..
What we have said ia reference to the one
public officer we say Of the other. L.i the
duties OF the position engross his time ~ d
talents; and the people will make lheir
choice of men upon their merit, and not
tack them on TO either Gov. Hamilton's or
Senator Germans coat flaps
We suggest that il will not be well for
either to imagine himself "The hero OF Para
disc Lost" for fear he may forget the power
that's over him, and like his Satanic ma
jesty, find a resting place in the dark shades,
(Of the ballot box,) with the promise facing
him, "rhe seed Of the woman shall bruise"
thy head.

In reading your paper ] notice you have
no correspondent from our little village, and
perhaps you will give me the title of "our
GAINESVILLE correspondent" Although am
not an able writer, yet will endeavor at all
times to give you the latest news.
Well, as most Of the items begin with
something about the roads or the weather,
will say that our streets are in very good
condition, and every thing looks like the APP
proach Of spring-even the little boys are
hunting up their marbles and talking OF
going barefooted but old winter will not
be so soon forgotten, for some Of our neigh
bors are suffering with sore throats. Potash
and red pepper are in great demand.
Miss Salie Brown, who has been visiting
relatives in c., returned home a few days

Mr.. John Hilton, an Old gentleman Of n
years, has been confined to his bed for

Justice to All.



Mr.. Editor Il see by your paper that a
good and sensible old "Democrat" has spoken
at last. Certainly he knows that mild
answer turneth away wrath" and he has
poured oil on the troubled waters" of the
political ocean of discord and there is a
great calm. He has reasoned well pro and
con on the school question. But | would
have liked it better if he had been more eX-
plicit in his views. | think we can safely
leave the question OF retiring the present
Board of Commissioners to private life to
the voters of our county, and all will bow
to the will Of the people in humble submits
sion.
There seems at this time to be a consider
able "turn round' in tax matters. A couple
of years ago we had two large taxpayers
conventions and the people were inquiring
why the taxes were 50 high. They made
q thorough investigation, | suppose, and
satisfied themselves ON the subject in every
way. But do not recolect that they came
to any conclusion as how to have low taxes.
Now the great complaint is there is not
money enough levied and money is demand
ed by the thousands, not only at the regu-
lar levies, but between levies, and as the
needs of the public are greater there will be
more and more demanded each year and the
taxpayers will have to pay more.
Now there can be no half way business
about this school matter. II Il man is u
Democrat, he is for education. If he is
Democrat, he is debt-payer If IA man is a
Democrat, he is for paying cash when posi-
bic. Ii he is Democrat, he is for equal
laws and equal rights and will say "al shall
be assessed for what they are worth" and
pay taxes on the same. 1t is the large
amount Of exempted mortgages in our State
and county that throws the burden of taxa
ton on the farmer, mechanic and merchant.
In the last levy the whole increase of the
industry and skill Of our people was said to
be one hundred thousand dollars as returned
assessed by the collectors. The changing of
private securities 10 mortgages and abate-
ments of property were said to 100000, 50
the taxable basis was reduced and still goes
on. And now people Of Montgomery county,
you see what is before you. You have got
TO have things on the old Democratic plan
and see that the Legislature makes the thing
right and "tax all persons for what they ARE
worth" or stay in debt and borrow money
and further burden the farmer, mechanic
and merchant, and thereby endorse princ-
pies contrary to Republican Government |
think the whole thing is very plain, and if
the citizens of our county and State do not
do the thing that is right for themselves, let
them take the consequences and pay their
own high taxes and part Of others
