The Hudson Gazette revives a debate
that occurred in the Senate in 1860, as
the Republican party was about to enter
upon the administration OF the Govern
ment To the boast of Seward that the
Republican party "would now take pos
session of the CITADEL" Senator Hammond
said:
"The Democratic party surrender the coun-
try without a stain upon her honor, boundless
in her prosperity, incalculable in her strength.
We have Kept the Government conservative
to the great purpose of government. We have
placed her and kept her upon the Constitution;
and that, sir, has been the cause of your peace
and prosperity. Time will show what you
will make of her; but no time can diminish
our glory or your responsibility"
The Democratic party is moving on
steadily and surely, like an irresistible
army, to take possession of the citadel.
The constitutional monuments erected by
the Fathers of the Republic it will find in
many cases defaced, and may be shatter-
ed beyond repair, but it will be its care to
preserve what is left of constitutional lib
ertv. Time has shown what the Radicals
have made of the Republic. The glory
of the Democratic party has not been di-
minished, but the responsibility of the
Radical party has shown how little calcu-
lated are its managers to administer 4
Government restrained by constitutional
limitations

Speech of Mr.. Voorhees,,

Our readers, we trust, will not fail to
give attention to the speech of Hon. ID.
w Voorhees,, of Indiana, which in large
part is published on the outside of this
paper. The gentleman is one of the
most eloquent members Congress, as well
as man of keen perceptions, statesman
like views, high courage and an unfailing
friend of the people. The stormy and
dangerous days of the war neither broke
nor bent him. He now stands, as he al
ways has, for democratic ascendency and
the rights of the people. The arraign-
ment of the radical party and the admin
istration, for their violations OF the con-
stitution, and the unwarranted use of
bayonets at the polls, is most torcible and

The Connecticut Election.

1t isn't what we expected, exactly, but
we have lost nothing There was one
Democratic member Of Congress before,
and there is one now Governor English
is reelected, if the count of our Hartford
friends is correct. We lad strong hopes
of making clean sweep in the State, and
have been disapponted-that much must
be admitted, One cause of this failure is
the bringing in of the negro element to
vote for the first time. They throw 1900
votes, nearly all of which go to the rad
icals. That the democrats have held
their own, amounts really to gain to
them in the white vote equal to the negro
enfranchisement
Very great exertions were put forth by
the radicals. Office holders bled freely,
and substantial aid was had from Wash
ington. At the last hour dispatch came
from the capitol to the effect that Grant
would not press the San Domingo bust
ness, but leave it with Congress and the
people. Perhaps this soothing syrup had
some effect. There was & desperate at
tempt to stay the current of Democratic
victories in Connecticut. The wave rose
not quite so high as we had wished. But
the tide is coming in, nevertheless. King
Ulysses can't set his chair on the strand
and bid it stop.

Letter from Bucksport.
Correspondence of the Journal.

BUCKsPoRT, April 4, 1871.
l was sorry to see reported in the last weeks
Journal, by correspondent from this place,
what purported to be fact which had for its
foundation not decent shadow. 1t is small
business for any one to stoop to such low Cos
sip, and when it reflects upon the character of
an estimable women who seeks only the good
of those under her charge it is depisable. In
the estimation Of some persons, stepmothers
should not exercise any control over the house
hold to which they are called-which is simply
absurd.
The use of the bridge between this village and
Verona for smelt fishing, has been let this year
for the sum of 81 1921, which is little short Of

thirty years or more, controlled the stage routes

Our Savings Bank yesterday de clared a divi-
dend Of five per cent for the last year. This

| Mr.. l.. A. Torrens, of Bangor, teacher of
vocal music, who has charge of that department
IN the public schools of that city, has very
large class here. His abilities are highly ap-
preciated in our town. Preparations are being
made for concert at the close of the term-the
class to have the assistance of foreign talent.
| The students of the z. M. c. Seminary are
preparing for their annual exhibition which
takes place next month. Extensive subscrip-
tons of money are being made by our citizens
to help defray the expenses of the occasion.
There was launched from the ship yard Of
William Beazley & Co., to-day, fine modelled
and superbly built schooner of about 200 tons.
This vessel is the third of this class which has
been built by this enterprsing firm during the
past year, and fully sustans the reputation Of
this company. She is owned by s. P. Hall, s.
c. Homer, Fred Spoford, VIM. Beazely & Co.,
and Capt. Amos Arey, who is to command her.
Quite large two story building used by the
above company as work shop, was destroyed
by fire on the night of the 9th of last month.
The loss was quite heavy on the workman in
the way of tools, and the proprietors sustained
still greater loss in yard, tools, stock and
moulds. HANCOCK.

Justice of the Peace and Quorum.

The poet says that "some are born
great, some achieve greatness, and some
have greatness thrust upon them" With
a new and respondent commission as
Justice of the Peace and Quorum before
us, we wondered under which head we
might be classed After due reflection,
we conclude that it has been thrust at us,
and so we seize it, with due sense of
added dignity. 1t is no ephemeral honor,
either, for by its terms the person upon
whom it is conferred is to wear the digni-
ty tor seven years, eff he shall SO long
behave himself we'll" Whether these arc
to be seven years Of plenty or of the reign
of Pharaoh's lean kline, is to be developed
in the future. The good behavior is the
main consideration. Are we allowed to
cuss radicalism? Must we pray for our
erring brother of the Age, instead of jab-
bling him with a steel pen? Are we to be-
lieve the State rum shops all honest insti-
tutions? If so, we fear our commission
won't abide with us long.
One thing is certain, we can insure
folks who may be matrimonially inclined,
against the blunder that happened to a
couple recently in this city. No half mar
ried folks will be left to their own de-
struction. We propose to tic 'em up in
the most substantial manner, and put ii
in the paper with an appropriate verse OF

The Railroad

The President c the Penobscot Bay and Riy-
er Railroad Co., don. N. q. Hichborn, was in
town on Wednesday, and held consultation
with number of our citizens. The express
sion seemed to be, both on the part of the Pres
ldent of the road who said he was authorized
to speak for all the up-ryer Directors, and our
own people, that this end of the route, from
Rockland to Camden, should be built the pres
ent season. Steps will be taken within a week
or two to settle the land damages in this town,
and if favorable disposition is manifested by
those through whose lands the route is to be
constructed, we think it will ensure the build
ing of the road this year. The landhoders
ought to lie ready to give or sell at nominal
price the real estate necessary to be used, for
the railroad will greatly enhance the value of
their remaining property, besides furnishing
employment for themselves and all the auXiar-
les they can bring to the work.
Mr. Hichborn reports that there can be but
little doubt that the other end of the road, from
Bangor to Winterport, will be built this year
A meeting of the Bangor & Winterport r. r.
Co. will be held on Monday next, when their
course will be decided upon. That section can
be built under the charter of the b. & w. r. r.
or under that of the p. B. & R. r. r. it is i'm
material which, so long as the work is done.
Informal meetings of citizens have been held

We call the attention of those interest
ed in shipping to the letter of Capt. Henry
McGilvery, one of our most intelligent
ship builders, which will be found in this
paper. Having occasion to visit St. Johns,
Capt. McGilvery embodies in letter the
result of his observations in that British
port, especially upon the difference in the
cost of building and sailing ships as COM
pared with American ports. 1t is the old
story, the same recital of the reckless
ruin of our shipping by an infatuated Con-
gress, with no sign or prospect OF relief.
How long, oh Lord, how long! is the ex-
clamation of all patriotic Americans.

AMEs A FAILuI;E. The latest senatorial
aebutantc, in the speech-making line, is
Adelbert Ames, late of the State OF Maine,
but now assuming to represent the State
of Mississippi in the senate OF the United
States. Much interest was manifested to
hear the maiden effort of this specimen
of New England enterprise, who has
llourished so like green bay tree in a
more southern cline. Ames is quite a
youthful senator; he is the son-in-law of
Ills wife's father, and his certificate of
election to the senate by the legislature of
Mississippi was signed by himself, feat
never having been performed before, even
in this age of radical political legerde-
main. Hence the interest to hear his first
effort. We are sorry to learn that the
senator fell far below the expectations of
his friends, and that he suffered by COM
parison with his former mulatto colleague,
Revels. His piece was only a repetition
of the talk about outrages in the south,
and was regarded by all who heard it as
a puerile and silly affair dubuque

A WARNING; AGAINST Plug TOBACCO.
A postmaster in Illinois chewed plug to-
bacco, which vile habit was directly in
terested in sending him to state prison,
As thus: A letter was mailed in his Of
fee containing five one hundred dollar
bills, and directed to Chicago. When the
letter arrived at Chicago the funds were
minus, and detective was set at work
That clever man soaked the envelope in
water and loosencd the gummed portion;
lie found on microscopic examination that
the re-sealcr had been chewing plug to-
bacco, and IN moistening the gum had
left specks of the weed adhering to it.
Then this detective went along the line
,rayersed by the letter and asked every
body who could by any possibility have
handled the letter, for ''chaw terbacker."
Everybody was handy enough to furnish
this masticator with the desired article,
bnt it was invariably fine cut, until at the
mailing Office he sat down. and to the
postmaster-who was an old friend-h
expressed himself that the thief would
never be found The habit he had so in
dustriously pursued of asking for a
'chaw," instinctively prompted him to
say. "Old chap, give us a chaw OF tobac-
co." to which the friend replied, 81 don't
think | have any you would use; l never
chew anything but plug" The detective
was puzzled. An old friend, thel man
before him was the thief. He stifed the
promptings of affection; arrested he post
master; the case was tried, anu now the
,obacco-chewer is in Joliet, boarding ut
the State hotel
