DKAocRAric HARMONY. The leaders
Of the Black Democracy, in our State
thinking no doubt in the present discour-
aging state Of their prospects, that no
harm can come from family quarelling
are indulging themselves in good deal
of recreation in this way in various quar-
tiers If the State. While in this county
there is any amount Of inside grumbling
with the ticket, headed by "minc host"
Of the Biddeford House, and many demo.
Gratis are found who do not care awhcther
school keeps or not" in many other coun-
ties rebellion is the order of the day, and
the internal strife, among the tribe Of
Mannassah, is very great. In Aroostook
the Cary faction has overlaughed the
Madigan interest, succeeded in nominating
as candidate for Senator, a Cary man, and
passed resolves, pitching into the admin
istration on account Of the appointment
Of Barns to the collectoShip Of Eastport,
andEiving his sub-appointmentsin Aroos-
took particular fits" Ono Of their re-
solves contains dig at Clifford, or some
other "outside politician "who has, by
bargain and sale, interfered With appoint
ments in the viconagc of Cary and his
Democracy. The Age, in publishing the
account Of the convention desires it to be
understood that it takes no part ain these
local controversies"
In Waldo, the waters of family strife
are boiling with unusual violence. Smart,
with his "mastcr spirits" from the Gus
tom House has beat, in their convention,
the Moore and Dickinson Democracy, and
the organ Of this latter class, the Repub-
lican Journal, has full three columns do
voted to showing up the rascality, fraud
and chicancry Of Collector Smart and his
officials" and in slurring some Of the can
didates selected. The Journal says at
exposes and denounces fraud and decep-
ton and the prostitution Of official posi-
ton for selfish and disorganizing purposes
in whatever quarter it may appear as the
only sure means Of preserving the integ-
rity Of the party" A most capital joke.
1t puts in the nomination list, the names
OF the candidates selected, but intimatcs
that one Of them anominec Of the senate
is accused Of having bad habit of voting
double at Conventions, another ais the
owner Of the fast trotting nag which once
won the cup "on the mountain course
in Prospect"-an allusion to the sport
of the turf of so local character that We
outsiders do not understand it, beauty or
application. The only acceptable candi-
date to the Journal seems to be one from
"the strait whig wing Of the Democracy"
a Mr.. Gushing, who was nominated for
the Senate. The Journal says, that after
a proposition for union and harmony had
been voted down "somc sixty delegates
refused to vote" II Smart is to be bcliev-
ed there was never more graccless lot
of political scamps than his brethren OF
the Journal, and the Journal men repay
him in his own coin with interest. II is
a family jar in which, if the Kill.kenncy
cat scene is reproduced, the public will be
the gamers thereto. Black Democracy
in Franklin has also its family troubles
There, the tribe of Manassah splitin twain,
in their convention, part walked out,
and part staid in; one part passed re-
solves in favor of a prohibiivc law, de-
nounccd the bred Scott decision, and in
dulged themselves in other pranks Of a
similar nature. We think the leaders in
improving the opportunity for quarrclling
when they have not the ghost of chance
of success bctray shrcwduess and practical
wit. II members Of a party ever indulge
in such pastimc it is certainly wise in them
to select a time when all hope Of success
is given up and the only fun to be deriv-
ed from politics, is the fun Of fighting and
quarrelling with each other
