In looking over the political ground
we End much to oensure, much to CON-
mend and something to condemn. We
oeosure the indifference shown by our
sturdy ysomanry (of all men the most
interested) to the politics Of the day.
We commend their prudence aud their
honesty Of purpose, but beg them not
to forget they are cur last resort and
safety. We beg them to reflect and
come TO the rescue Of their institutions
by selecting men ct to represent their
great interests in Our National ss we'll
our State Legislature. Too much is at
stake to talk about party lines only.
We must rise higher aud look to the
fitness of things. We know our best
men are ignored, aud Why's because
they disdain to wear the Collar OF mo-
uopoly, or bear the dictstion OF their
satellites. When the people can defeat
the mschinstions of monopolies and
place their interests and welfare on the
high plane of equality. aud spuEn from
them self constituted leaders and al! the
incident evils of bossism-is it not rep
r-hen sible, ia it not objectionable that
they will not DO it, West Virginia TO-
day is bossed from one end to the other
aud by whom by the Standard Oil
Company and the satellites Of the b. u
D. Railroad, &c. The people are
hemmed in, their voice is not respected,
they are no more than political slaves.
TIE Democratic party has been seized
upon by these cormoran,s and ieaity TO
il is made tho watch cry, by which the
people are to be inveigled into obedi-
ence 10 the masters. 1t reform in the
party is suggested, YOU are at once de-
nouno-d traitor. Ii abuses are pointed
ont you are marked as unfit and a
doubtful democrat. In word we must
row be slaves to on, creatures or he
denounced. How loug. oh how long
will the people consent 70 forfeit their
independence.

~ Quick WoRK,-We learn from
the Hagerstown Globe that on Thurs,
day morning, Of last week, material in
the rough was given the employees Of
the Hagers.own Steam Engine Works
and in ,hir,y-eight hours a ten-horse
portable engine aud boiler, constructed
Of this material, was In operation at
their works, being complete in every
particular except in the matter Of oina-
mentation. To accomplish this the
force Of hands engaged upon the work
were kept constantly employed by day
and night. The force of hands en-
ployed numbers about ll6, and eleven
hours work per day is given them that
the orders for the various machines
manufactured At their works that are
being constantly received may be
promptly filed. At the present rate at
which these machines are being built,
it is estimated that at least 80 engines,
Is .hreshing machines and 500 grain
dril!s will be in the hands of the trade
by the first of January. When it 10
fully understood that the works are not
yet complete and that the hands labor
under the disadvantage OF not having

be regarded as exceedingly bright for
these works.
