REPuBL1cAN1sm IN MARYLAND.

REPUBLICANIsM IN MARYLAND.
A most enthusiastic Republican Dem
onstration was had in Baltimore on the
evening of the 18th inst. Several
speakers gave in their adhesion to the
Republican party, and great enthusiasm
prevailed throughout. 1t is confidently
believed that Lincoln will receive at
least 5000 votes in the city of Baltimore
alone. The great mass of the German
voters are firm Republicans. And since
the leaders sold out the Bell party, or at
tempted to do so, many of the old line
Wings have announced themselves for
Lincoln, In addition to several German
Republican papers in the State, the old
and influential Baltimore Patriot, which
first refused to support the "fusion," has
at last refused to support any party,
while it does not disguise its pleasure
at the certainty of the election of Lin
coin. 1t was thought that Bell would
carry the State, and so he would, if the
leaders had not went into the "bargain
and sale'' dicker with other parties. As
it is, many Of his supporters have become
disguised, and the probabilities now are
that the State will go for Breckenridge.
Let it go as it may. Lincoln will receive
such a vote in Maryland as will secure,
in many portions of the State, the free
dom of speech and the press, and thus
insure a speedy Republican victory
Baltimore, like St. Louis in Missouri,
and Wheeling in Va, is rapidly becoming
a free labor city. And we confidently
predict that before the close of Lincoln
first term, the State of Maryland will bt
as decidedly Republican as Ohio. Sc
speeds on the good work!
Strange Disease Among Cattle

A somewhat strange and curious dis
ease has made its appearance among th'
cattle of this vicinity. The disease
seems only to affect the eye. At frs
appearance, it discharges an unusua

AND WHEN HE CANE TO HIMSELF "
John Howard was not bad man. It is one
of the most revolving properties of rum, that
it changes, for the time, the entire nature of
man, and degradeS HIM to something beneath
his species. There are certain stages OF drunk
enness, when the individual is lighthearted
and merry, good. .natured and favorably affect

Coming more and more beastly with every in
diligence. So it was with John Howard. Nat.

and faithful husband, he had labored to, and
successfully accomplished, what not one in a
thousand was able to do. lie had secured him
homestea valuable in itself considered, but
thrice valuable as the reward OF early labor
and the fond associations that clustered around
it. But there came change. As he INDUCED
time after time, he sank lower in the scale oi

NV First Love.

My First Love.
Among the flowers of Springs ago,
By woody brook or messy knoll,
Where earliest violets grow,
A maiden form was seen to stroll,
To braid into her hair
The moss and fox-gIove there.
Her step was light, her laugh was wild,
Upon the sun-warmed ledge, and in
The shadowed glen. She was child
" hom neighbor Joined with all her kin
Tospeak in warmest praise,
And tell her winning ways.
Her dmpled chin and rosy cheek,
Her slender arm so soft and white,
Her bright blue eyes that seemed to speak
We're like the mellow morning light,
Like purple violets,
BY limpid fountain jets.
BY sedgy pool, by hillock grown
TO yarrow and sweet saxifrage,
We two have passed the summer noon
As children at that thoughtless age:
All ! that with youth should fee
Full half life's gayety!
When on his perch the Red-breast sung
Awhile the warm winds melt the snow,
Or where the ground-bird chirps among
Tho waving willows half a-blow,
We two an audience gave,
And mimicked through the stave.
Nor could the warbling blue bird light
Upon the budding naples top,
But we would put him to the flight
We laughed to see the sparrows hop
With coats of finest gloss,
And bills crammcd full Of moss.
When on the green and grassy plats
The milk white lambs were seen to sport,
We braided cowsllps in our hats,
OF pebbles built the mimic fort:
A very King and Queen
We reigned upon the green.
Idoubt If in our childish glee
There were nook within the glen
Or winsome rock o'er lawn or lea,
But in our ramb'es we had been:
But we had garlands wove
Of every flower in the grove.
She was pretty, happy girl
OF thirteen summers bud and bloom,
With rosy cheek and wavy curl
The blue-bird's song, the springs perfume,
The skipping lamb-kin's bleat,
Would bring her tiny feet
I kissed and crowned her fair white brow;
felt q quicker beating heart,
Alas know the reason now
Her cheeks ] saw with color start,
And soft her liquid eyes
Oh! now that love I'd prize.
know twas all in childish sport,
Along time scarcely thought Of more;
often was her young escort
Until she left the Ragnooks' shore
Little we thought these hours
Would perish with the flowers
When on her ruby lips was seen
The warmest tints Of womanhood;
When prospects lay in bright serene
And all seemed beautiful and good:
There came hectic flush
And oh a purple gush.
Between those teeth Of whitest pearl!
Consumption's hue was on her cheek
Ny hearts first love-my idol girl
She sunk so calm, SO mild, and meek,
Into the world away
Her frieuds could hardly say
They wished her back OH earth again;
But still my mem'ry fingers yet,
By every brooklet VIII hlre she came:
Lingers in all its fond regret
That not single tone
Alice, is like thine own.

Accident to Judge Douglas,

The telegraph few days since, reported
an accident to Judge DOUGLAS and LIS
lady, at some Southern city, but gave nc
particulars. The Selma (AIabama) Sen
tinel gives the following account of l.
The Judge has laIyas brave and truc as
her gallant husbands fit wife for the
foremost man OF his time;
At 10 o'clock, judge Douglas and his
lady were placed in aca'riage and convey
ed to the steamer Virginia, followed by a
long line of carriages, fIlel with ladies',
and thousands of blazing torches, which
moved on in the midst of blazing rockets
and the booming of cannon. An Immense
crowd of passengers had cougregatel on
tie Virginia Soon after Judge Dougla
was carried on boasd and delivered into
the care Of the Selun Committee, the as
scmbled thousands on the wharf shouted
for Douglas, who made his appearance on
the boiler-deck of he steamer, and here
comes relation ofone of the most heart
rending scenes we ever witnessed.
As soon as Judge Douglas commenced
his parting address, the hundreds on the
boat crowded around HIN, and so dense
was the crowd that all one side Of the deck
Of the steamer gave way and the who.t
crowd precipitated in a second to the low
er deck, over one hundred people, hund
reds Of trunks, barrels, and every other
conceivable article found on the FORWARD
deck of crowded steamer tumbIing pell
NELL into one pile.
Such an exciting scene we never wit
messed, no one knowing who were injured
or to what extent. Judge Douglas was
the first object sought. LIE was gotten
up in moment anG carried on the steam
er, seriously injured in one of his legs and
bruised in various parts Of his body. Ills
amiabIe lady was picked up FROM the mass
also much injured, and conveyed to &
carriage on shore. < x x
Judge Douglas soon Joined his lady in
the carriage and was conveyed to the res
idence of Co. Seibels, where DR.. Baldwin
and others we're called in and gave such
medical assistance as was required. The
COtIilIJtee from Selma soon WdlIeu Oh
Judge Douglas to ascertain if he was able
TO come on to Selma with them. Though
his wife was seriously injured and unable
to travel, she said, " Mr. Douglas leave me
you must go-do not disappoint your
friends at Selma" Capt. Finnegan, of the
Duke, who accompanied the Selma dele
CATION to the house of Col. Seibles, tho
intending to remain over until next day
rendered his boat to convey Judge Doug
las and his party to Selma. Soon all tht
party was on board, and steam up, and By
three O'Clock Friday morning the noble
little steamer Duke was under way, to Tx
great delight of all of those who went from
Selma to accompany the statesman to oul
city.

What Can Lincoln Do!

When the President elect comes into

case with the chief magistrate of the ma
ton, lie comes into his Office with a major.

Officers Ask the Senate of the United
States Who under his Administration
will be foreign Minister, our Counsels, inn

Mr. LGNcoLS cannot well carry on a
successful war against the rights or inter

up arms under which their solIiers with
blue, bIayk, red or other colored cockades

We can see nothing that need frighten

nothing but will o wisps to fight.

ManitoWoc County.

The Republican papers are making a
great deal Of noise over tie result of the
late election in this county; and the Her.
aid, in its usual hypocritical style, sheds
corocodile tears over the defeat of a ticket
which itself opposed. For our part, we
cannot see anything new or wonderful at
the change since last year. In 1888, the
Democrats carried this county by nearly
an unanimous vote, but in 1S54-one
year after-the Republicans swept it, elect
ing their whole county ticket, and giving
Mr. BnL1xGuURsT a handsome majority.
Only two years since, the Republicans
again elected a portion Of their county
ticket, and defeated the Democratic candi-
date for Register of Deeds-JAMEs b.
Gao WILEY. We will wager that at that
time the Herald did not cry over the de-
feat of the Democracy, and did not demon
mate the men who at that time opposed
the Democratic ticket, as boilers and rene
