LABOR ON TIE SABBATH.

Some of the good citizens of this place
pretend TO have been very much annoyed
of late on account Of labor performed in
the Telegraph Office on the first day of
the week, although there has been moth
ing done on Sunday more than on other,
days calculated to disturb people, and who
ever thought of being disturbed on any
other day when passing in the street w
seeing a composi,or quietly at work !?
Besides if the eyes and thoughts of pious
people, who alone complain, were where
they say they ought TO beduring such holy
time as Sunday, and while going 10 and
returning from the solemnities of sacred
worship, they would not see what people
were about in the second or third story OF
a building. We look upon and regard
every day alike, and have 90 more objec-
ton at being seen at work on the first
than on The second day of the week, only
we would not unnecessarily hurt the feel
ings of any one where there is no sacrl-
fee of principle. s .~.... ...@
But taking The Bible FIR their guide, |
know not " hat they have to support them
ia their present observance Of the first cay
of the week. | know there is abundance
in the Old Testament in support Of the
seventh day as Sabbath. Then if it was
not observed more strictly than the most
superstitious christian observes it, the Of
fender was to be put 10 death. Now I'M
def holier and purer dispens ,,ion the
gre attest penalty does not exceed two del
lars, nor is there any thing done by way
of furnishing the Sabbath breaker in one
case in ten thousand I.
The statute law is as strict against rid
ing or travelling for pleasure or business
and wishing as against labor Of any kind.
Vel nothing, comparatively, is said about
these. In the New Testament we have
not so much as an inlimation, that time
was not for the space oftwenty four hours.
so that the day that the Lord rested came
on the first day nstead Of The seventh day
of the week. Nor does it speak of It's be-
ing changed on accom- OF any other
event. According 10 the Apostle OF the
Genliles one day is as good as anotheg.

CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS.
SECOND TRIALS.

The result in the Lincoln and Oxford district
are particularly gratifying. At the moment we
write this, il is rendered nearly certain that Mr..
Morse is elected! The very large gain which
he has made, a good deal exceeding two thou
sand votes, is a fine tribute to his merits, and a
just rebuke by the people themselves upon in
trigues, by which that district was carved into
its monslrous shape. We have taken out the
teeth and the claws Of the Gerrymander, which
was intended to ride rampant over the Wings of
Lincoln county, and we have now hamassed the
monster to our own triumphant car. If the sign
ers of the Bond do not like the way he goes.
they need not blame u.s. So may it always be.
These results mean more than meets the eye,
They show that the spell of Locofocoism in
Maine is broken, and broken, as we believe, for
ever. If all the tyranny of last winters legisla
tion, and all the huckstering of last summers
bargains and jobbing cannot save the strength Of
the party, it is gone never to return.
In the Waldo district, it does not appear that
the Wings came into the field at all. Seeing
that the junto were going to defeat themselves
Now is the time to rally.
In the Eastern district, Mr.. Cary seems likely
to be chosen, and that too by minority Of his
own party. The dissatisfaction with his nomi-
nation is deep and strong among his own asso-
ciates, and his election will not mend the matter
a whit. We much regret that the Wings did
not more efectually avail themselves Of this ex-
celent chance to secure victory The famous
old Hancock and Washington district might have
been carried as gloriously as it was in 1897
However, we have much encouragement even
there. Mr.. Robinson has made large gain,
and stands well commended before the people of
his district and Of the whole State.
These revolutions will not go backwards

ROBT. Y. CONRAD, ESQ.

This gentleman, in declining re- election to
the Senate OF Virginia from the Frederick district
has published an excellent address in the VIM
chester Republican, Of which we copy the con-
cluding portion. We cannot but feel regret, that
any one entertaining such sound opinions as Mr..
c., and knowing how to express them SO well,
should feel compelled by any consideration to
withdraw from the public councils.
If by Democracy is meant devotion to our
Republican institutions, resting upon the consent
Of the people, and receiving all their vital action
from the will Of the majority, show me native
born American who can help beng Democrat:
born and nurtured in that atmosphere, he knows
no other and can prefer no other. But law and
order; protection to persons and property; and
patriotism, or the love Of our own country above
all others, are equally part OF our creed.
Wherein does single Whig measure conflict
with democracy Is it democratic to throw
ourselves at the feet Of the merchants and man.
ufacturers of England and France, the cotton
growers of Carolina, or the importers of New
York, and say to them, do with us as you will
Is it democratic to deny to our own representa-
tives III Congress the power to regulate the cur
rency and commerce. without which the several
States will have less intercourse with each other
than with foreign countries Is it democratic
to leave the public lands subject tor political
bribery and rapine, whilst the States to whom
they belong need them, to save us all from the
disgrace of rcpudiation, to educate the rising
generation, make us good roads and canals? Is
it democratic to sustain and foster the overgrown
power Of our Federal Executive? Or is it demo-
cratic to refuse to men Of small capital the right
of uniting their means, that they may engage in
enterprises which, without this privilege, would
be monopolized by the men Of great wealth
Whig principles must prevail. To doubt it
would be to giveup the great question Of Repub-
lican Government. For time, selfish politi-
clans and selfish principles have place, for the
people are not always awake; but when the
misrule becomes apparent, they arouse them
selves. Already we behold that great party,
which never permits itself to be aroused but
when the Republic is in danger, moving with
even stronger power and will than in 1910. The
people Of the country are again coming to the
rescue of their own institutions, and the victory
Of 1874 is already won.
