beat" at which Farwell, of Augusta, lets off
a savage pun, that 'That would would do for
Prentice, but was not suited to grown peo
pie" Somebody down in front wants the gal
leries cleared. Bath man tries to speak, and
Drummond attempts to reply. Confusion gets
confounded and the row increased until the
enraged assembly breaks up, and adjourns
without day. With curses loud and deep they
betake themselves to their hotels, where the
vlctors proceed to celebrate their victory, and
the defeated to drown their sorrows in the
flowing bowl, which proceedings were kept up
diligently until O'Clock the next morning.
There will always be doubt which clan fur
nlshed the most rum, as there are we'll trained
stomachs and hard heads on both sides.
The Hamlin men swear by the great horn
spoon that he is fairly nominated and shall be
elected, while the Morrilites claim q foul
and make all sorts of threats. There is lots OF
fun ahead and the show of hands at the next
deal will be interesting. Had the member fr ON

The Senatorial Matter.

Our readers will find the result Of the great
radical fight over the United States Senator
ship pretty fully set forth in the letter OF our
Augusta correspondent. AS we predicted,
| Hanlin has Won The result is d terrible dis
appointment to the present recipients of oaves
and fishes i'll this immediate vicinity, for the
whole force, without exception, were for Nor
rlll and consequently have all got their tails in
the crack. A few of the outsiders were wise
Axel Hayford, Capt. Wording Capt Bean,
Daniel Lane, Jr., and perhaps a few others, did
not mistake the setting for the rising sun, and
consequently are not IN eclipse.
The individual who has got the severest hurt
! in this fight is our neighbor, the editor of the
Prog. Age. As the testing Mercutio said of his
Wouud-""rl not deep as well, nor so
wide as a church door--but It's enough"
| When, with his bushing honors thick upon
him. the Age man turned his back on the worn
out press and types that he had SO pathetical-
ly described and began climbing the western
hills towards the capital the future was all
rose colorcd. In the prismatic hues Of the
setting sun, he saw his fellow legislators rush
ing out to beg Of Him to take the Speakership
and he ''could not say them Nay He saw the
triumphant Morrili riding again into the U. S.
Senate, and Growing him with the Belfast
Collectorship. And beyond these, all the re-
wards and honors ct a long life Of viruous
striving. As the poet has it
"Au hour passed the Turk anoke."
And sach awakcning In the Caucus for
the Speakcrshp, one thrust from the spear of
the Portland warrior. and al was over with
| Belfast.
Bat II lne Speakership and its double per
diem were gone, there was still the fat Custom
House nj Belfast to follow in the train of Nor
rlifs election The wise dscernlnent of our
legislator could not be mistaken in this. He
had counted noses and knew all about it, But
alas for human calculations Fate had written
different decree Oh the white ballot OF the
recnsant from Mars Hill. 1t fell, like the axe
OF The headsman, on all the hopes Of our Scion.
The inviting Custom House, the snug Collect
ots room, the easy chair and cheerful coal lire
thereof, the handsome salary, tat exactions
from sHugg lers, secret and profitable compro-
misses, the presents Of fragrant cigars, cheer
Ing llthnessy and warming schnapps-all, all
vanished down the dim distance, "ike the
base!ess fabric of DREAM We are told by
an eyewitness that the Belfast representative
who had sweat like wild bull during the fear
ful ordeal of the caucus, crept slowly home
ward, setting one foot cautiously before the
other, rs If fearful that the firm earth might
next fail him. And all through the Still watches
of the night the house was disturbed by Il fear
ful amount of choice and vehement cursiny on
the subject, proceeding from the room of the
disappointed.
In Congress a bill to repeal the Tenure of
Office Act has passed the House The radicals
by this virtually acknowledge that the Presl-
dents veto of the bill was right, and that its
enactment was miserable party trick

THE Duty OF DEMOCRATS. If the Morrill,
men refuse to abide by the Caucus decision in
the Senatorial matter, and carry the fight into
the legislature, us they threaten to do, we hope
anything to with the contest. Their true in
terest lies in preventing a choice, by holding
The balance of power, and voting steadily for
the Democraticc anddate. Let them not soil
their hands Ivy contact with either of the con-
tesants.

u
fhen, in the first place, We protest
against the policy adopted by the whites
in some Of the local Townships of this
County policy at war with, and d.
a,netrically opposite to our best interests.
The exclusion of the colored people from
participation in these meetings, extend
ing to them 10 invition when their color
is known to be in the minority. An as
sertion Of so much independence, SO pal
pable manifestation of the aniin,us of
q spirit bent on ruling, and showing
them no quarters whore they are not in
the majority. This, this is what we
utter our solemn protest against. We
don't say the colored men must occupy
these Offices, far from it, but we say show
by your actions that you are willing for
them to select in part with you the men
vino shall I'LL them, and if youdo not, it will
be giving them good and ample cause to
believe thatit is only when they are in the
majority that you have any use for them
or their votes, and that wherever invita-
tions have been given to them, it was
for policy's and not their interests sake.
And where the whites are in excess
of the colored voters, you call your
meetings with the distinct understanding
that it is to be white mans meeting.
This is wisdom-this is tho course by
which you expect to adjust the differ
ences existing between the two races, to
bring about au amicable feeling among
the different classes this the way to Sc
cure their votes for some white men of
probity and intelligence in some future
occasion, when there will be more i'm
portant questions at stake than the trif-
ling issues involved in a Township cleo
tion. Answer US ye modern Solomons,
and blush for the folly of your mis-
guided and misdiYected ambition; tell

Of the nineteenth century, is this the
