Mr.. German seems
\ THOROUGH MASTER OF MEMS MINDS,
and of that high class who constantly sur
round and continually seek him at Sara
| toga, and who seem to repose such deep
confidence in his opinions. If the people
of Maryland could see all this, l often
think how strangely flat would fall the
light CHIT of criticism enemies who are
endeavorin- to saturate the public mind
with their squinteyed suspicion, idiot
wonder and grinning scorn.
"If Senator Germans traducers could
be at Saratoga and observe the heads OF
sections ofthe country upon endless vare-
ty of business who seek for the opinions OF
Maryland's leader of the national
Democracy upon the floor of the United
States Senate, think they would make
conclusive effort to throw off the bloat-
cd prejudices of a superannuated folly
which presses down and STILES the breath
of truth The malice of Senator Cor
mans enemies has now degeneratcd into
regular gradations. and, in view of his
life as it is here exhibited, that enmity
would, Think, seem even to these enemies
insipid, insignificant, sickly, torpid and
lethargic. 1t must, indeed, be all evil and
iaundiced mind, and understanding not
led by observation and sincere reflection,
which does not realize that it is the first
duty of every citizen to uphold the hands
of thosewho are capable of educating, capa-
bic to substitute knowledge Of business
for its ineXpericncc, and Of advancing the
L.. tr,,n r,f1,
noting their blind propensities, by adapt
ing the nations government to condi-
tons Of time and place, or modifying it
by actual occurrences Whether Republi-
can or Democratic, this is a scie:cc of
politics indispensable to the public good,
and no matter how severely he may be
criticised and disciplined at home, in the
view of the leading men of this country,
Senator German is regarded by Rcpubli-
cans as well as Democrats a.
STRONG ADVOCATE OF EQUAL RIGHTS
when considered in relation to the wants
and conditions of the whole people He
is here viewed as stern and uncompro-
missing friend of that universal justice
which demands not only the incest dis
elimination of principles, but the most
careful aGjustment of interests. Senator
Germans standard of Democracy is a
system based upon common sense and
strictly adapted to the wants and con-
ditions of the people under constitutional
limitations.
1t is a simple, plain. economical, com
prchcnsive and just science, which is the
real Democracy that is for the good of the
people, and it is Senator Germans public
position as Senator which has shown him
capable of the high responsibilities of the
United States Senator that attracts almost
an ovation to him at Saratoga But if the
relentness opposition of prejudice is to
have in the coming Maryland campaign
the high prero gative of judgment, it ma
turally will strike down quickly what it
cannot understand, and it will shortly be-
come in the politics of the State of Mary
land an Enlightened power, which will
burn with an unquenchable intensity, and
its speculations must naturally and neces-
sarily become malignant, and no aspira-
tions and no excellence no matter how
elcyating or surprising, can save even
such popular national leader as Senator
and antipathies.
The press, | maintain, may have very
good discretion in some things, and very
odd humors in others, and my only pur-
pose in writing is to show the estimate
which the leaders of national public
opinion entertain of one of Maryland S
representatives of the nation. | want the
readers of the Im~iicdn to know and see
that outside the perfect bear garden of
politics, which in Maryland seems to pos
sessa carte blanche to rob and murder
character, Senator Corn an towers high
amongst the men whom the nation de-
lights to honor.
