THE CAMPAIGN WING.

The WHIG will earnestly advocate the
election of Blaine and Logan, and by
every legitimate argument endeavor to
create sentiment in their favor. 1t will
not confine its appeals to electors to the
narrow grounds upon which partisans
expect to reap individual profit by then
success, but upon the higher and broader
groupds-that the highest interests OF
the country will be best subserved by
their election.
From this time until November its
columns will contain all political news of
Importance, and that the people of Cecil
and adjoining counties may have within
their reach a complete and reliable
weekly compendium of political events
as they transpire, it will be mailed, post
age prepaid, to any address from this
date to the Presidential election, period
of five months, at the nominal price of
so cents. Order it at once, and after
reading it hand it to your neighbor.

POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS
FROM OFFICE-HOLDERS.

We publish in another column an
important letter addressed TO the Civil
Service Association of Maryland by
Collector Webster relative to political
contributions by Federal ottice-holders.
The Collector has answered the ques-
tons addressed him, distinctly and for
chilly He reiterates substantially the
view recently taken upon this subject
by DR.. Gregory, of the Civil Service
Commission, who holds that the two
ruling principles of the law are protec-
ton of governmel clerks from entorc-
ed political assessments, and the abso-
Lutte defense of the ballot box from all
corrupt or official influence, but" he
adds, while shielding the employees OF
the government in one direction, 1t
was not the purpose of congress to
needlessly restrict their freedom in
another The broad rights of citizens,
the rights of property, of speech, Of
action, and of association, belong alike
to government clerks and all citizens.
The members of congress, in their de
termination to stop oppression, took
good care not to establish tyranny.
CONGRESS went to the utmost limit of
its power in order to protect these peo-
pie, but stopped strictly short at that
limit in order to leave constitutional
liberty intact. The clerk,
outside of his clerkship, is still citl-
zen, as citizen has the common in
terest of all good citizens in the pro-
gress and welfare of his country, the
common right to vote and express his
opinions, to form associations with
those of like opinions, and to use his
money, in all lawful ways, to propagate
his opinions. AS an officer or employe
of the government, he is strictly under
the authority of congress in all his Of
fetal work and relation, and must not
violate any one of the four prohibitions
of the civil service act. But away out
side of his official life and relations, be-
yond the realm of his duties to the
government, and beyond his connec-
tons with governmental people and
places, he becomes the simple citizen,
and has all the duties, interests, and
rights of his fellow citizens not in pub
lie employ" q.
We know of no clearer interpreta-
ton of the true meaning and intent of
the civil service act, and which view
the manly letter of Collector Webster
at once fortifes and emphasizes.

when the Capitol was built, and when
the dome was crowned with this great
bronze statue, the future of Washington
seemed to lie in the eastern section known
as Capitol Hill. The back of the Cap
itol was turned on the western section of
the city, and Liberty was mounted with
her face towards the east. This abnor
mally lifted real estate values i'll the iaV-
Ored section while the section back OF
the Capitol suffered a corresponding de-
crease. With keen American instinct,
these low priced lands were bought up
by those who foresaw an early revolution
in the tendency of improvement. High
prices soon wore upon Capitol Hill, and
rapidly did its prestige succumb to the
strides of improvement i'll northwest
Washington. But the Capitol could not
turn with this change still its back
door looks upon the portion of the city
which is the pride of the nation, while
its front is tuined to = comparatively
bare section in which property can be
bought at the lowest figures. 1t is pro
posed to transtol III the back of the Cap
itol into front of the most elaborate
design, and the time is not far distant
when this Improvement will be aided to
the many now IN progress.
Looking westward from the Capitol
one is surprised at the beauty of the Ia
dial avenues aud with the architectural
grandeur of the many buildings, both
public and private. that meet the view.
In front, the finished portion of the new
granite State. War and Navy Department
forms bold backing 10 the marble
Treasury. To the right, the Pnstotlice
and Interior Departments, aud the City
Hall stand i'll white relief from the myr-
lads of smaller buildings. To this cius-
ter will so0n be added the new Pension
building now i'll course OF erection. On
the left, stretches the Mall, long cen
trail park extending from the Botanical
Gardens to the Washington Monument
and containing the National Museum,
Smithsonian iGstitute, and the Agricul
tural Department. South of the Wash
ingtou Monument is the Bureau Of In
craving and Printing; aud Oh the north
is the White House. Apropos Of the
Washington Monument, it is now nearly
completed, and preparations are making
for the grand demonstration which viii.
mark its dedication.
\ walk about the city will surprise the
summer absentee. Real estate improve
ments crowd the eye on ali sides. Con
nee 'icut avenue extends from the resi-
dence of the eminent philintropist, Mr.
". w. Corcor II, to Castle Stewart
and about centrally on it are located the
buildings of tine British Legation. This
avenue is to Washington what Fifth av-
cnue is to New York. 1t presents now
IA magnificent stretch of American pal
aces, and vies in architectural beauty OF
design and finish with any street i'll the

enant' is about to be erected on this av-
enue, and will be handsome addition

eral direction, the net results of which
are that today the condition of labor
ing men and women in the United
States, compared with those living UNI
der the most favored conditions in
other countries, affords striking proof
of the efficacy of Republican care for
the well-being of the toilers. Nowhere
on earth IS labor SO well compensated
as here, and nowhere else on earth
does the laboring man live under con-
ditions where he is SO respected and
SO important a factor in his community
as in this land where great party
guards his interests with jealous watch
fitness.

\ few weeks ago the Democrats
sneered at the idea Of an Irish revolt
from their ranks. Today they are
alarmed at its threatening dimensions
all over the country. In New York
and New Jersey, where Cleveland's
cold blooded indifference to the inter-
est of labor is generally known, few
workingmen will be found to support
HIM. He is most cordially disliked by
the labor element, and for the best of
reasons. Workingmen know their
friends and they know their enemies.
Cleveland's champions at Chicago did
not have the workingmen in mind when
they cheered the statesman who loved
New York's governor "for the enemies
he had made" but workingmen are
nevertheless of that large and rapidly
increasing host. 1t is by no means
certain that Cleveland will have a plu-
rality of the vote of New York city.
He is being slaughtered right and left
in his own state and wherever the sons
of toll are to be found.

the new road law. The section in the
original draft for the adoption of which
| labored most earnestly and which |
valued as of greater importance to the
tax payers than many other provisions
that We're passed without obje ctiou, read
as follows:
SEC. II. Aud he it enacted That it shall
be the duty the County Commissioners
and Road Commissioners of Cecil county
to so regulate the cost of roads and hridg
| i'll said county as not to exceed in any one
year the sum of twenty thousand dollars,
except when there shall he extraordinary
injury done the same by great storms or
floods, and it shall be The constant effort of
the said Commissioners to reduce the an
nual expense as much below this sum as
possible.
| believed then, and | believe now
that HHdeF ordinary circumstances, SO
GOO is as much as the tax payers of Cecil
county should pay for roads and bridges.
Always having advocated the lowest rate
of taxation possible, ] saw in this limit
| alton of expenditures for this branch of
the public service a golden opportunity
to bring about a marked reduction III our
annual levieS. As evidence OF my ear.
nestness in this matter, | ask that you
republish the following which you kindly
inserted for nc in the columns of your
paper on January 10, 1851:
My argument is, that of the SO, 0O1 now
paid to inspectors and supervisors not more
| than one-haif is actually expended upon
the roads and small bridges in charge of
| the supervisors; that under the strict regu-
latiUns of the proposed law, the whole
anuumt-Sl2, O0O-wil be laid out upon
the II adj, (the bridges being placed under
the care of the Road tuinmlsSi"ners) and
| they will be put in condition twice Us good
as now, that =, 600, the balance of the
| yearly outlay, is as much as should be al
| lowed i'll amy oMe year for extra and new
| work aud finally that Il Limitation in an
| nuat expenditures will aid the commission
| erS in resisting the unreasonable and i'll
| creasing demands for moIe improvements
than the county afford on its present
| taxable basis, To make each year PEI maps
| so 900 will prove Insufficient for the first
wears operations under the new law, in
| consequence OF TIE very ha,! state of many
roads, and The advisahiiity of repairing
them extensively before Offering them to
contractors and probably it would be WIS
est to levy an extra $4,000 or $4,000 III all,
to start with. But there SHOULD be some
limitation III the Us,lll annual expenditures
| The mos: complete laws that nave exam
ne,! upon the subject of road and bridge
| repairs ;ud improvements contain
provisions regulating the cost. Notice
ably is this true of the law for Baltimore
county, one of the best regulated counties
in the state which law limits the cost 30 Il
rate within fraction of what is proposed
for Cecil county,"
The answer to my argument was most
pronounced. Here are d few extracts
from letters laid before the commissions

THE LABORING MAN.
FRIEND.

The Republican party has always
been the friend of the laboring man.
1t was reserved for it, with its progress
sive and humane ideas, to make rec
ord in which from its earliest existence
down to the present day careful and
friendly regard for the welfare and ele-
walton of labor was at all times mani
fest. In its party platforms, its general
policy at all times, and its practical
acts of legislation, it has never failed
to demonstrate its genuine interest in
the laboring element Of the country.
The liberation of the slaves, and the
passage of the homestead law are the
best evidences of this fact.
The homestead law put it in the
power of the humblest toiler to enter
any part of the public domain and
take unchallenged possession of an es-
tate which through his industry would
soon enable him to put himself and
his family beyond the shadow of want
Tie boundIess west is dotted with pros
porous homesteads acquired through
this grand poor mans law, the owners
of which but for its muniiccnt provis-
ions would today be !aboring in the
crowded marts of industry without the
prospect of more than a hard earned
living. And the gracious bounty of
the homestead law is still held out 10
every poor man in the land.
These two great enactments Of the
Republican party, passed in its earliest
days of power, serve as a keynote to
its after course in its relations to labor
Other enactments have followed from
wear to year tending in the same gen
