The votes at last Tuesdays cleo
ton in st. Mary's county were hon.
estly and fairly counted and one of
the chief reasons of Democratic de-
feat here was lack of votes. We
were beaten and we acknowledge it.
But we have one grievance, viz: the
conduct of the Federal Supervisors
at the polls of some districts, and
we propose to have our say about it.
In one district, [Sth] we are told
that the Federal Supervisor took
charge and went into the booths
with voters and superintendent the
marking of the ballots. We believe
this to have been an unwarranted
usurpation of authority and as
Maryland men and not yet subject
ed to the Force Bill we propose to
use our utmost endeayors to sustain
the honor of our State and maintain
its right to conduct its own elections
under its own laws. We propose to
do whatever in US lies to have this
question settled. We do not think
st. Mary's Democrats have any de-
sire to bulldoze their opponents
and we hope they will not tamely and
cringingly submit to being BULLDOG
ed. We call upon the leaders of
our party to take immediate steps
in this matter and to have the pro-
/ per Federal officials investigate fully
the conduct of some of the recent st.
Mary's Federal Supervisors.

He draws parallel between the treatment
Of the american colonies by Great Britain

the Enzii.f, argument Is that the coDdnst of

ssso~ that the American colonies were una.

IrIsh situation and the Union (.onfederscy
IN The United States Is no parallel
