necessarily be referred to appropriate COM
mittees and by them be put in shape for
consideration by the two houses which
compose the Legislature. In the mean
time any local Legislation desired by the
people of our County should be pressel in

on any subject to make their wishes known
at the earliest practicable Cay.


Their action upon the various important
political topics prominent before the people

that the very parties who framed it and
sustained it by their voles and their voice

ES-The country will be no less surpris-
ed than pleased at the announcements that
the postal service in the Southern States
during the past Year, has not only sHstain-
ed itself, but netted $291 600 profit fact
unprecedented i'll the postal history of the
country.


Notwi hstanding this there is consider
able deficiency in the Post office depart
ment, which Of course is in the Northern
States. Not only are the people taxed to
protect their manufactures but also to
supply them with postal facilities. They
have even been burthen upon the nation
and it is high time they should be thrown
upon their own resources. A bounty for
their Fisheries, protective duty for their
manufactures, and now to add postage
for their merchant, is. we conceive, too
much of good thing. But it appears the
people cant see it.-perhaps they will soon

ES'l 1t is very probable that the Legis-
lature of this State at its present session
will accede to the demands of the people
and call a Convention TO frame a new
Constitution. In anticipation of such en-
event is it not important that the Demo-
cratic party should have a thorough, eff
cient organization, particularly here in
Western Maryland where Radicalism still
exhibits some signs of life? We think it
is, and hope those having the proper au-
thority will move in the matter. Properly
organized we can fight good fight and
defeat the foe beyond doubt.


Notwithstanding they are proclaiming
the Constitution of the State as not guar
anteeing US Repu' lican form of Govern
meut, they will stoutly resist all move
ments to secure us now one, and although
lately defeated and discouraged they have
sufficient strength not to be despiscd in a
fight. A few men well organized, will
often defeat much larger number acting
without organization. Remember this and
let some move be made.

ES~ The Massachusetts Radical mana
facturcs whilst petitioning Congress to
increase tue duty on their goods are also
endcavcring to have all duty taken off of
Wool. They desire that it should come in
free, thus TO cheapcn ths raw material
and add to their already prin0ely profits.
They are for Free Trade on all articles
thoy consume in their manufacturing
because it enables them to procure those
articles at less cost aal to make larger
profits on what they have to, sell.


Why does not the farmer also move in
this matter and sec that the duty on woel
is retained. 1t is the only article on
which any thing like protection is afforded
him ,Iand if the manufacturer is entitled to
or requires protection on his products the
farmer is certainly entitled to protection
on his also. Did the advantage to be,
derived from removing the duty on wool
60 to the people at large, VIC should gladly
hail its repeal, because we cannot sanction
the doctrine that fosters any class at the
expense Of the mas, but so long as the
duty remains on the manufactured article
any reduction of duty on the raw materia
is an advantage to the man ufactnrer only,
and not to the people, Whenever the duty
on the manufactured article is removed
then will we consent that the duty on
the raw material should be removed. These
Radicals somehow have great propensity
for making ~ool free. They have succeed
ed in accomplishing it. so far as the home
article is concerned, at an immense cost
to the people, and profit to themselves.
Now they are seeking to procure the foreign
article without any cost to themselves but
to the disadvantage of the producer in this
country.

From the Buffalo Express, May H.


Last Saturday night as two gentlemen
we're passing near Benedict's Bank Of
of Attica, in Attica, they discovered a
man on corner who acted in a suspi-
cious manner. They went and informed
the cashier Of the fact and he made a
barefooted reconnaissance. He found
that some persons were in the bank, and
Immediately collected squad of thir-
teen men, armed with pistols, clubs,
stones and other weapons of destruction.


The bank was surrounded, and at the
proper momeut tho doughty cashier qui-
etly entered the back door, and came
upon two men who we're earnestly en-
gagged in endeavoring to break into the
safe. AS soon as they caught sight of
the cashier, the burglars threw open a
window and jumped into the street, much
to the CONSERVATION Of the outsiders,
who stood around in state of mas
terly inactivity" and allowed the rogues
10 escape.


Th. cashier fred his revolver once and
the ball came in dangerous proximity to
the head of one complacent spectator.
The thieves had succeeded in removing
the castings from the vault, and would
probably soon have reached the green
backs.


Our informant says the citizens are
loud in their praise of the cool courage
and magnanimity of the bold thirteen
who would not be guilty Of attacking two
strangers because they saw fit to transact
business at the bank after hours.

fulness, as we lie upon our bed thinking
of the loved and lost to u.s. We hear it
in our dreams, when her sweet face comes
back to us. We hear it as we sit beside
the grave in the cemetery where she
sleeps alone, with no kindred as yet BY

.. ADJUSTMENTS IN THE FAR VEST
A crowd of about four hundred men,
women and children repaired to the
Fair grounds yesterday afternoon, says
the Omaha Republican. of the Goth
ult., to see the fight between the grizzly
bear and Mexican bull, which had been
extensively advertised. The two ami
mails were secured to the separate ends
of a chain, and this was secured in the
middle by long rope to strong stake
driven firmly into the ground. At
about three O'Clock the bear was let
out of his cage. The moment the bull
saw bruin he made fercely for him,
knocked him down and trampled him
badly. Three or four bouts of this
kind occurred, each time the bull having
the advantage, until at length he thrust
one of his horns into the bears mouth.
This was too much, and by powerful
effort the bear broke his chain and
tried to escape, making directly for the
spectators, who had formed a ring
around the aiena. There was immedi


ately terrible confusion. Women
screamed, children cried, men hallooed
and made the most hasty preparations
to get out of the way. The hubbub
added to the fright of the bear, so that
he could only rear up on his hams and
paw about until his keeper, Mexican,
caught him with lasso. and got him
back into his cage. The Mexican then
offered to ride the bear for a purse of
$50, or he would fight the bull with a
knife for 800. Nobody seemed in
clined to invest, and the exhibition
closed, and the crowd came to town.

now for farmers son to grow up on
the farm, work as his father worked be-
fore him, and bring up his family at the
old homestead, or, what is better yet, i'll

hind counters. They get an education

come Heitizens" instead of countrymen. !"
We have great respect foc the CONNER
cial interests Of the nation, and do not
wish to join the popular sneer at the
counter:jumpers and clerks. We have
need for young men in every depart
ment of honest labor But we think
that the hard outdoor work of agricul-
tnre is better calculated to develop
manliness of character than the confin-
ed labors Of the counting-house or shop.
Farming is not enough respected by
the nation in comparison with the mer-
camille pursuits. Young men, too, in
majority of instances, desert the farm
and seek the city because they wish to
escape the harder labor which is SUP
posed to be the lot Of the farmer. They
wish to lead an easier life than their
fathers led, and attain the same success.
A few years experience behind the
counter or the desk dissipates the idea
that the mercantile life is the easier
one, but at FIRST view it has destinations
to the young mans eye which agricul
ture has not. Is there not considerable
of laziness in this rush to the city of
farmers sons? We need a certain
amount Of fresh blood and fresh brain
from the rural districts in every branch
of metropolitan industry, but we do
not need the rush of applicants for posi-
tions which lower the salaries here,

The result in Virginia confirms the fact already indicated in Tennessee, that the Southern negroes propose to take their fu- ture destiny as far as possible into their own hands. While we regret to see politi- cal divisions, there, taking the aspect of a conflict of races, we cannot admit that it happens through any fault of the blacks. As long as their newly acquired rights are in danger they would be something less than men if they did not unite in their de- fence. A white mans party, frankly deny ing the manhood of the negro race, and clamoring for its disfranchisement, has its own bigotry to thank for the present phase of matters at the South. Nor; after the Ohio election, can we wonder that the Southern negro should consider himself the only safe conservator of his own iber- ties. We'll as the Republican party de- serves of its country, it has shown that it is no exception to that fundamental rule of democracy which denies that any class of citizens is wise or disinterested enough to be put in charge of the liberties of any oth- CT class.

 The conduct of such blacks as interfered with the voting of Conservatives of theil own color is equally reprehensible with the conduct of such whites as discharged -theil laborers for voting the Radical ticket. Even their misbehaviour, however, shows how wide awake and how thoroughly in earnest the negroes of Virginia are; and we thank God they have shown such a spirit, throughout, as will make it no easy matter to put them again on the shelf alongside of minors, lunatics, idiots, wo- men, and suchlike non compotes maentis.
