All Honor to Stockton!
The Democrats Carry the Town

The stirring and enterprising town of Stock
ton, In this county, is the home of Barnabus,
surnamed Roberts, and Of Brother Hichborn,
late State Treasurer, and chief engineer of the
Maine Law rum agencies in the State. These
two representative men, in a sort of Damon
and Pythias copartnership run the town in the
radical interest," and ruled it with rod of iron.
Nothing but the unyielding determination and
courage OF the leading Democrats have enabled
man who called himself Democrat to live
there at all. Determined to rid themselves OF
this tyranny, the Democrats of the town have
made strong efforts to gain the ascendency at
the polls, and hold it. Last spring they carried
the town, but lost it in September. This spring
they set about the work again. Hichborn,
though absent in body, was present in spirit,
while his henchman Barnabus covered the ter
rltory with his tracks in beating up voters.
On Monday the forces were marshalled, and
the contest began, on Moderator. It was soon
evident that Nathan and Barnubas were ioored,
c. G. Roberts, the Democratic candidate being
elected by y majority. The result was the
same throughout except one Republican, In the
least important position, elected by Demoe ratio
votes. The sun that set that night Went down
on all hopes Of making Stockton again radi-
cal town. All honor to her gallant Democracy.
The following is the list of town officers

The Death Penalty in MARYLAND,

Princess ANNE, Md, March 6. Four ne.
4coes named William Wilson, Frank Rounds,
VIM Wells and George Bailey, were hanged
mere to-day for the murder OF B. +. Johnson
and Henry Cannon, the captain and mate OF
aa oyster Sloop, in March, 1868. Each Of the
prisoners confessed his guilt. Rounds and
Wells died instantly, Bailey in few seconds
and Wilson'S neck did not break. He groaned
md struggled horribly. He got the rope off bis
hands and legs and caught hold Of strand OF
Rounds rope and then of his own rope, by
which ne drew himself up to the scatfold
lgain. The jailor assembled and frightened the
moose and again pushed the 'wretched man off,
Jerking the rope violently as he fell The vic
tim continued to struggle for five minutes,
some of the crowd yelling, ''that's right, you
ought to suffer" The execution occupied AZ
minutes. There were from four to FIVE thou.

Upon the whole the address .mpresses
the reader as put forth by one who goes
iauntily and confidently to a position the
difficulties and dangers Of which he does
not appreciate. At best the office is not a
bed of roses. Bad men who help 10 ele-
vate President. if their demands are not
met, are the first to dig pitfalls in his path.
Unforeseen embarrassments and contingent
cies arise, full of snares for his feet. The
Welding and good natured Lincoln was sad
ly perplexed by them, and the obstinate ma
ture of Grant cannot fail to multiply the
difficulties ten fold.
The declaration Of Grant that he does
not fear the responsibilities Of the Presi-
dency. is evidence that he does not compre.
bend them. No other President has ever
assumed its duties without a feeling of awe
and doubt Washington declares that 50 No
event could have filed NE with greater
anxieties." Thomas Jefferson said, IS
approach it with those anxious and awful
presentiments which the greatness of the
charge and the weakness Of my powers, so
justly Inspire Madison opened his inaug-
ural with the declaration that he is . filed
with an awful sense of the trust to be as
sumed." Monroe declared, q cannot en-
ter on these duties without great ans iety
for the result" And so through the long
line of iIlustrious men who have filed the
high position. The present incumbent is
the only one who has not been impressed
with the magnitude Of the cares and labors
that were easing their shadows before.
