Although the proclamation has gon

Democrats and some !, adinp IIemocrati,
journals have refused 10 admit that sucl

and TO kick against Machine" traces,
unless geed men are put forward a,
candidates Ter the elective offices next
hll Of the former is Mr.. ). Teacklc
Wallis, who, according to recent re.
port Published in the Amer;caA has de-
iivered himself as follows The idea
Of securing harmony, By negotiations
with the men, who are responsible for
Nil corruption is propostcrous Instead
Of being negotiated with they
must be told to stand aside do not
care whether the primaries are fair or
unfair. If suitable men are not nnmi-
mated, they should be voted down-no
matter how pure the primaries at which
hey we're chosen. Must | sLdicate all
my rights and my manhood simply be-
epuse | voted at a primary Does
he fact that | voted for an honest, re-
Spectable man at primary election pre-
elude me from voting against a dishon-
est and unfit man at a general election ?
No sensible man will entertain this idea
for moment. DO not think misrcp-
resent the great body Of reformers when
say that the mere circumstance Of their
participating in the primaries will not
prevent them from voting against
the nominees il the right kind Of men
are not selected T"
Among the latter is the Cecil Demo
crot edited by Geo. w C-uikshank Esq,
Who attended the convention Of Editors
in Baltimore not long since Mr. Cruik-
shank is the man who beat Judge Stump
in the primaries in bis own county last
fall. against all the power and influence
Of the State Central Committee, a power
the strength Of which the people Of
Charles county fully realized in the most
notable and hard-fought contest ever
had in this county, when Mr.. Chapman
barely beat Mr. Elrlcn. one Of the most
popular and able men in this county, for
Congress. Mr. Cruikshank gives warn.
ing that he will unsparingly critiese the
acts and disse0t the motives Of the lead
ers. aud that every candidate brought
forward must not only be man in every
Way qualified to Gil the Office for which
DO is named, but that be must be so far
ffee fromentangling alliances as to be al
20 perform the duties OF his o:s9ior with
cut favor or prejudice, with an eye single
70 the good Of all the people.
These may not be representative
men in. the popular acceptation Of the
BERN, although We think they are in its
best sence. They at least v ice the sen
timent of sufficiently large and respec-
table body to make their influence felt
OF the next election Il is to be hoped
that this sort Of sentiment will be very
freely expressed By the liberal minded
uen in both parties, an | that the result
will be the nomination Of FIRST class men
on both sides. The people at large will
then have some guarantee that, be the
result Of the elections what it NAV. their
rights and interests will be protected
and looked after This is more import
ant than that an understanding should
BE reached by the bosses of either or
Both parties, which they and their immc-
date followers call harmony" Har-
aaony among the rulers does not alw ,ys
mean peace and prosperity to the people
