Barbecue, on Thursday, 18th Instant.
The Committee of Arrangements for .
the Mass Meeting of the Democracy of
this county on Thursday next, arc act
ively engaged in preparation for a mag- j,
uificcnt Cue. The spirit alive in every
section of our county will bring to this .
festival a larger number of the true
hearted sons of Montgomery than were
ever brought together by former similar
demonstrations. They arc determined
that no honorable means shall be left un
tried to keep her worthy of the name she
bears, and save that fair uainc from the '
polluting fingers of Know-nothingism
and Black Republicanism. To this cud,
neighborhood meetings have been ap
pointed for every nook and corner of the
county, but the people, not satisfied with
these minor efforts in so mouicutous a
cause, have resolved to meet together on
Thursday next, at Rockville, for a gen
eral rally in behalf of the Union and the
Constitution—the rights of the States as !
sovereignties, and the rights of the peo
ple as citizens.
Many distinguished speakers have been
invited and have promised to be witli us .
on that day to urge on with their eloquent
voices the good cause which we have so ,
much at heart, and we trust that every
voter in the county will make it a point
of duty to dedicate the day to the service
of his country, by taking counsel with
his brethren for its preservation and con
tinued prosperity.
The Ladies have also been specially ;
invited to this banquet, and who can
doubt that they will grace with their
presence and cheer with their smiles this !
gathering of their fathers, brothers,
lovers, and acquaintances to uphold the
blessings of “ Union?” When has wo- |
man been known to withhold her eneour- j
agement or assistance from a good cause,
when has she failed to exercise her influ
ence in averting dangers threatening her
country ? They are not blind to the
crisis which is upon us, and they will
evince their appreciation of its import
ance by being with us on our meeting
flay. Ample and comfortable arrange
ments will be made for their reception
and accommodation.
We likewise expect a largo number of
visiting friends from adjoining counties
of our own State, Virginia and the Dis
trict of Columbia. Come, all who can
come; a hearty welcome awaits you;
and we will have such a consultation as
will strike terror to the hearts of all who
arc attempting to resist the onward march
of the great national army to victory
and the preservation of the Republic.
JC-iT At last the Fiilmorites have some
thing at which to rejoice. The Demo
cratic party has been defeated in Maine ;
Black Republicanism has triumphed;
the friends of the Constitution have
fallen, and sectionalism is victorious;
ami we arc pained to see a party in old
Montgomery exulting over such a result.
Yes, in our own county, in the midst of
a slave-holding population, tlierej is a
party, though professing to have nation
al sentiments. Southern sympathies and
Southern interests, yet rejoice in the
success of Northern Abolition fanatics '.
Is the hatred to Democracy so great that
the interest of our great confederacy is
forgotten and the success of her enemies
hailed with shouts of triumphant ex
ultation ? Has the Union of these States
become a matter of so little worth that
it is to be weighed in the scale with the
success of a political party, and that too
of a sectional character? Where is the
spirit that nerved the arm and inflamed
the patriotism of the sires of the Revo
lution ?—the spirit that impelled them to
such deeds of noble daring, and inspired
their souls with such high-toned chivalry
as to have excited the admiration of the
world?—that spirit which crowned with
success the glorious objects of the Revolu
tion and gave to us the Constitution of
these .States under which we have l>ecome
so great as a nation and so prosperous
and happy as a people? Is this spirit to
be forgotten? Arc these inestimable
blessings, the result of the labors of our
forefathers, to be sacrificed for party
feelings and party prejudices? There
are doubtless those among ns who, un
conscious of the dangers that now threa
ten this Republic, and which the success
of Black Republicanism, in the clectio^
of Mr. Fremont, will most certainly j 1
overwhelm, do rejoice in the success of
any party, provided the Democratic, their !
old enemy, is defeated. It is to these
we would appeal, in the name of that •
gallant old Whig party, for which they
seem to have so much reverence—in the
name of the immortal Clay, who was !
its noble leader, and whose life was spent 1
in the service of his country, to pause 1
and reflect—see the momentous ques- •
tions involved in the present contest.—
The political questions of former days
sink into utter insignificance in compari- 1
son. Nationality or sectionalism, Union
or disunion, you are now called upon to
decide. Can you hesitate ? Forget your j 1
former prejudice to Democracy; rally 1
fur your country and vote for Buchanan j
and Bueckiniiidoi.
THE KANSAS QUESTION. .
The troubles now existing in Kansas, 1
and the excitement consequent thereupon
seriously threaten the safety of the Union.
It is now no time to bandy epithets as to
who is responsible or who is chargeable ,
for the difficulties existing at this mo
ment in that territory. The all-impor
taut question is, how can they best be
allayed ? If the state of things now
said to exist in Kansas be permitted to ,
go on unrestrained, the very atmosphere
will become rarefied by the iutense heat
of excited passion and prejudice, and the
rush from the surrounding States will bo
increased, adding fresh fuel to the flame ;
already iguited, until the whole country j
will be wrapt in the blaze of revolution.
What can be done to avert this impend
ing danger ? What has been attempted ?
During the late session of Congress the
Senate passed a bill repealing the objec
tionable and obnoxious territorial laws,
providing for taking a new census, for a
new classification of the inhabitants into
election districts, affording every reason
able guarantee for the enjoyment of the
right of suffrage, and for a free and un
biased expression of the popular will.—
i In this measure of relief the House of !
i Representatives refused their concur
! rence. The majority of the House were
Republicans; it had the organization.
Upon whom, then, rests the responsibil
ity? Certainly not upon the minority,
who voted in a body to suspend the rules
jto take up this identical bill, when the
republicans, to a man, voted against the
suspension. Do the Republicans desire ;
to have the Kansas troubles adjusted?
j No sane man will believe that they do,
until after the Presidential election shall
have taken place. They “tacked” to
the Army bill a proviso wholly unpre
cedented in the history of legislation,
' clearly unconstitutional, and one which
they well knew the Senate would never
agree to; evincing a determination to
arrest tho wheels of Government, unless j
they could coerce the Senate and the |
President into the adoption of their pol
icy, against their considerations of duty.
What is to be the end of those things ?
Civil war rearing its horrid front—inflam
matory zealots running to and fro through
the land, crying “no union with slave
holders ;” embittering the passions and
i exciting the prejudices of the people of
one section against another. Can the :
result of such efforts, if persisted in, be
doubtful in the mind of any one ? There
is but one mode of escape, and that is,
in the spirit of our fathers, to frown in
dignantly upon the efforts of all such
agitators, ami endeavor to quiet the pnb
! lie mind by inculcating measures of pa- 1
cification.
•This is the first time in the history of:
our Government that a direct issue has j
been made up between the Democratic '
party, which has ever confined itself'
within its constitutional prerogative—and
a sectional party usurping power, and
sedfcing to demolish the very pillars of
our national structure. Can the people
of Maryland be brought, by their votes,
directly or indirectly, to contribute to
the overthrow of that glorious Union
which has heretofore saved millions of
her property from the hazards of foreign
■ j aggression ? Will they not rather render
1 j their verdict in favor of that national
party, whose principles would bind to
gether thirty millions of freemen, to
guaranty her security from every danger,
intestine or foreign ? We cannot but
believe that they will resist to the utmost
I every attempt to reduce them to a condi
j lion in which they would have no other
| means of protection than such as a gov
ernment, about to break up in anarchy,
can furnish.
t-iP The Democrats of Cumberland
held a meeting at Market Space, in that
town, on Thursday evening, 4th instant,
which is represented as having been very
• enthusiastic. Among tho speakers was
j William Kiloour, Esq., of this county, i
whom the Albnaninn. published at that!
, place, thus justly notices:
“ The young Democracy of Allegany
have reason to be proud that they have >
so eloquent an advocate among their
number as Mr. Kilgour.”
I J -
£-eT Hon. Charles J. Jenkins, long a
leading Whig of Georgia, has written a
i letter assigning bis reasons for supporting
Mr. Buchanan for the Presidency.
DIALOGUE BETWEEN A FILL
MORE WHIG AND BUCHANAN
WHIG.
Fillmore 1 Vhig. —ls it possible that j
you are going to vote for Bucuanan and ;
Bueckinkiuue ?
Buchanan Whig. —lt is not only pos- ,
sible, but certain, if they and I live till
the day of election.
F. IF.—’llow is itthatyou, who, from
your earliest political existence, have ,
been battling vigorously against the
Democracy, can vote the Democratic j
ticket ?
B. IT.—I have always opposed the j
Democratic party. I would not with- j
draw a single blow I ever gave them; j
and if the old issues are ever revived, and j
I am living, I shall be found maintain- ,
ing them. But permit me to ask you
one question, or, in Yankee phrase, to J
answer your question by askiug another. |
Tell me how you reconcile yourself to
vote for Andbcw Jackson Donklson ?
You arc taking to your confidence a man,
born, reared and educated in the Demo
cratic faith; raised at the feet of the po
litical Gamaliel; taught to despise and
contemn llenuy Clay, and every Whig
in the nation. You find no difficulty
whatever; but, with perfect complacency,
with perfect self-satisfaction, you can
1 vote for Andrew Jackson Doneison, the
most virulent traducer of Millard Fill- |
| more with whom he is at present assoei
i ated.
F. IF.—But. in the name of Heaven, j
j how can you vote for such an old sinner
against the Whig faith as Mr. Buchanan?
B. IF.—My dear friend, I do it as a
choice of evils. Ido it, as I said before,
not because I love him, but because I
believe the interest and honor of the
country now demand bis election; and
you, who are swallowing Andrew Jack- j
son Doneison, cannot say one word to
any man. How did you take some men !
you did last year? Why, sir, many of |
them were conceived in Democratic sin,
land brought forth in political iniquity, j
and yet you could swallow them ; and
now you say to me, “In the name of j
Heaven, how can you vote for Buchanan?” j
Let me tell you that I can do so without j
any difficulty in the world. He is the
representative of tho only national party
that lias raised its standard for the present
contest. My old political friends, by
abandoning the Whig party, have forced
the necessity on mo of choosing between
j evils. As a free man looking to the
interest, of my whole country, I make the
choice, and take all the responsibility
that attaches to it.
F. IF.—But, Mr. Buchanan lias an
tecedents that will not do.
B. IF.—I expect lie lias; but show
me a man if you please, who has been
twenty, or thirty, or forty years, in the
| public councils of the country, or in pol
ities, all of whose antecedents you fully
endorse. I have already referred you to
Donelson’s antecedents, but how would
you like to have Mr. Fillmore’s exam
ined ? He has not been quite as long—
not so many years—in polities, as Mr.
Buchanan; but upon the slavery ques
tion and some others his sins have been
enough to damn him altogether, if ante
cedents alone arc to be relied on. Then
! that is not a safe rule to swear by; you
must take the men by what they profess
now, and the amount of confidence you
repose in them.
F. IF.—But how can you swallow the
declaration made by Mr. Buchanan many
1 years ago, that “ if there was a drop of
i Democratic blood in liis veins he would j
' let it out?”
B. W. —Mr. Buchanan has denied the |
charge as often as it has been made, and
■ there is strong corroborative evidence |
of the truth of his denial, but, suppose
ho did utter that sentiment, is not that a
F beautiful argument to make to me? I
■ have been trying all my lifetime to let,
the last drop of Democratic blood out of
i the body politic, and I certainly cannot j
i object to Mr. Buchanan that lie said lie
f would let out his Democratic blood if lie
i had any. You bad better keep that ar
• gument to yourself, lest some shrewd ,
1 Democrat turn it upon you and prove
. that it should recommend Mr. B. to your
, support, as a Whig.
, | F. W. —But, you ought not to vote
t for Sir, B. as you profess to have been a
! friend of Mr. Clay during his lifetime,
. and to cherish his memory now thntlic is
dead. They say that Mr. 8., if not the
author, wag the propagator of the vile
calumny of “ bargain and intrigue.”
B. IF.—My dear friend, I declare to
you mogt candidly, that ifl believed Mr.
B. guilty of participation in that calumny,
I would never, never support him; but, in
my bumble judgment, the record of bis
innocence is so clear, that no honest op
ponent would pretend to controvert it.
Independent of the triumphant exonera
tion from the charge left upon record by
Mr. B. himself, when it was fresh in the
public mind, gnch Whigs as Prentice,
the biographer and friend of Mr. Clsy
Letohcr, the warm personal and political
friend of Mr. Clay ; a man who enjoyed
his confidence to an extent equal to any
man in tho Union—and Mr. C. himself,
of all men most interested in the matter
] —stood forth and honorably acquitted
Mr. B. of all complicity in tho slaudcr. <
If Mr. Clay himself was satisfied—if his '
friends at the time were satisfied—who
has a right to complain now after the
lapse of more than a quarter of a centu- j
ry? Two years after the occurrence, and ,
after Mr. B. had spoken out publicly, |
Mr. C. proclaims to bis friends that it i
was alllie could expect or desire from him.
F. IF.—T must take leave of you with 1
a scriptural quotation: “ Let Ephraim 1
alone, he is joined to liis idols.”
B. IF.—One word before you go. I ,
have frequently heard you remark that
you had no sympathy with the Know-no
thing faction. Pray, inform me, why it
is, you have entered so heartily into the
support of the candidates of that faction,
one of whom is not only a Know-noth
ing, but all liis life a willing tool to do
dirty work in the cause of Democracy
for which you have never had a drop of
good blood.
F. IF.—The truth is, my hatred of
Democracy is so intense that I feel wil
ling to go any length to defeat its nomi
nees. Indeed, between Buchanan anil
Fremont, I would as soon see the latter
President as tho former.
B. IF.—-Good-day, friend F. let me
hear from you again as soon ascoiiveni
ent after the election. Till then, I shall
war more earnestly than ever against
such fanaticism as you have this day ex
hibited.
JC-tr The National Intelligencer of the
4tli instant, announced its intention to
take no part in the Presidential contest.
Of Mr. Fillmore it says:
“ We cannot forget that Mr. Fillmore
was a whig when lie before conducted
the government with sucli signal ability;
that he was surrounded by whig advisers
■ and was guided in liis administration by
whig principles. Now, when lie Ims
become the candidate, as he himself an
nounces, of “another party,” and has
i disclaimed the name and associations lie
but so recently maintained, displacing
them by a ‘so-called American Order,’
: we cannot so clearly see that with nur
, unchanged opinions in favor of whig
) principles and whig men, we are war
ranted in expecting at his hands the
same course under tho maxims lie now
espouses as under those which formerly
regulated his administration and crowned
it witli such brilliant success.”
SI AT The Democratic mooting, at
Barnesville, last Saturday, was well at
tended. The notice was very short, but
so great is the enthusiasm of the friends
of Buchanan and BitECKiNRimiE in that
portion of our county, that they are ever
ready to unite with other friends in pro
moting their success. The meeting was
addressed by Mr. Key, of St. Mary’s
county; Mr. Bouic, and Dr. Wm. Brew
er, of this county, in interesting anil ef
fective speeches. From the spirit mani
fested at this meeting, we have no doubt
that tlie cause of Buchanan and Breck
inridge is flourishing in Medley’s.
Relhjiocs. —Our Baptist friends kept
up their protracted meeting in Pincy
Grove for more than a week, and were !
much edified by the services, and en
couraged in their good work by the at
tendance of large congregations. Al
though their meeting was in the woods,
good order was maintained from its be
ginning to its close, not a single instance
of annoyance, mueli less disturbance,
having occurred ; and all present seemed
| to a greater or less degree interested in
I the truths presented for their considcra
! tion.
The Ministers in attendance were
i Messrs. Holmes, of Va , Phillips and
; Kkkhkl, of Baltimore City, and Jones,
! resident Pastor, all of whom preached
i powerfully impressive discourses, the
effect of which was witnessed in the bap
tism on last Sunday, of three ladies, all
i members of the same family, and in the
I inquiries of others into the way of Balva
j tion.
This meeting will long be remembered
by all who participated in it, and its good
results will be continuous and permanent.
We shall never forget the delightful time
we enjoyed spiritually, nor the hospital
ity and Christian kindness with which
we, and all others from a distance, were
received and entertained by the good peo
ple of that neighborhood.
t-iP Messrs. Thomas Hunter and
Jacor It. Hoffman, are about to erect
a Steam Saw Mill on the farm of the
former, about two miles north of Rock
ville, which cannot fail to prove a great i
accommodation to the surrounding neigh
borhood, as all persons who will avail
themselves of it can have their work of
this character done by this process very
expeditiously and upon moderate terms.
The advantages of a Mill of this kind are
too well known to our people to require
an enumeration by us.
tW This is the second day of the
Annual Fair and Exhibition of the Mont
gomery County Agricultural Society.—
We have neither time nor space this
week to say moro than that it has fully
met the anticipations of its friends. In
our next issue we shall present our read
ers with a detailed statement of the inci
| dents of this occasion.

PREMIUM IRON CYLINDER
CRAIN DRILL.
f ¥lll IS I>HI LL is universally acknowl-
A cd/juil, wliero it Ls known, to be tho
most .perfect mmliine ever invented for sowing
ill kinds of grain and every description of fer
tilizers in coucchlrnted form. It is so ron
| >trueted, w itli the different sized gear wheels.
I as to sew any desired quantity of grain, from
one to four bushels to tin- acre, in its ur
rangnimcnts for distributing Guano, Lime,
Plaster, Ashes, either in damp or dry state, it
differs from and excels all other Drills ever be
fore offered to the public—a separate box for
tiie fertilizer being attached in front of tho
grain box, from which the manure is evenly
and perfectly delivered in the tubes, which are
constantly in motion to prevent choking, and
is deposited with tlu grain in the Drill furrows.
This attachment is constructed to sow any de
j sired quantity of manure, and may be used
either with or without the grain Drill. In ad
dition to this improvement, there is also at
tached a Grass Seeder, for sowing different
kinds of grass seeds, which limy be used in
front or back of the drill tubes.
The subscriber could give numerous letters
I of the highest praise from farmers of different
J counties in Virginia, and the upper counties of
Maryland, where they have been used ; but nil
lie asks is an examination by the intelligent
farmers of Montgomery, who will at once poo
the great superiority of this Drill over all oth-
I ers. it can Ih: seen at liis Htore House, in
Boole*villu, where he keeps no assortment of
the most appro veil Agricultural /mvfcmmle for
sale, at Factory prices, freight added to any
point designated on line of public conveyances.
Soliciting your early orders, which will meet
prompt attention, 1 am respectfully your obe
dient servant.
