Let Republicans say what they will of
the Democratic party; the great truth
still remains, and forces itself every day
upon the convictions of reasonable men,
that the mad career upon which extreme
Radicals have entered can be arrested on
ly by the power of the Democrats.
Thoughtful men see with undisguiscd
alarm that the Constitution. strained to
the utmost during the war, is now in inn
mediate danger of such an overthrow
that the will of one man, OF of q party
caucus, shall be our only supreme law.
AS u Republican Senator recently admit
ted, the Constitution has already been so
shingled over with amendments and pre-
cedents that its original form can scarce
ly be discovered Each new precedent
acquires, under Radical hands, all the
ment is strained and magniticd into rev
olution in our form of government. To-
day, with the assent of u majority of the
Senate, the President grasps and uses at
his pleasure the war-making power.
Without even the poor pretext that Il
treaty is still pending involving inchoate
rights he dictates with his guns to one
foreign power, interferes actively in the
internal affairs of another, and, at the
risk of war with any civilized nation,
pushes q corrupt scheme in defiance of
public censure. Even while the EXccu-
tive thus usurps power in dealing with
foreign nations, and grossly abuses the
power thus usarped, his party adherents
arc demanding for him new and almost
unlimited extension of power in domes-
tic affairs. Give to him the right to send
troops into any State without application
from any local authority, with none Of
those restraints which the Constitution
wisely interposes between despotic CEN
tralization and local self-government, and
of his own mere motion, upon Informal
ton known only to himself, and of which
he is the sole Judge, to proclaim martial
law wherever he likes, and what farther
step toward the subversion of our liber-
ties will remain? Only one-if indeed
that is a farther step. It will remain on
ly for American freemen to copy the ex-
ample of Rome and decree that one man
shall "take care of the Republic" N. Y.
World.

Ways that are Dark.

The great question to be solved in party
management is the ways and means Of
providing q teat for every pig, and thus
prevent angry squealing IN the filters.
This problem is akin to that of the dis
covcry of perpetual motion in mechanics,
or the squaring of the circle in mathe-
matics-a thing much pondered over, but
never realized. 1t has plagued the honest
and self-sacrifcing patriots who now rule
this nation, and in every branch of the
public service from California to Passama-
quoddy. Accordingly it is not surprising
that Mr.. Roberts, who now sways the
Custom House in this locality, should be
perplexed by the same question.
Among the unnumbered patriots of the
locality, few seemed to have claims that
could not be ignored OF this class was
Mr.. VIM. A. Atkinson, who had reasons to
expect the position of special revenue de-
tective for the locality. The local powers
that control the appointment were willing
that he should have it, providing he could
be substituted for Mr. Ames, of Bucksport.
now acting in that capacity. The latter
gentleman, too, could have been accepta-
bly, sacrificed, because he has made him
self too forward in fcrreting out certain
contraband matters in the sacred precincts
of Stockton. But the official having
charge of that department at Washington,
knowing the usefulness of Mr.. Ames, rc-
fused to assent to his removal.
The next move on the board was the
creation of new office in the Belfast dis
trict, that of Special Detective, with pay
amounting TO four dollars per day and ex-
| pei .s This Mr. Atkinson's friends were
given to understand, was to be filled BY
him. We do not stop now to discuss the
need of such an office; but simply remark
that the quarrel recently going on in Port
land over the division of $4,000 seizures
shows that something has been done il
that line when such an Office was IN
thought of.
Well, strange to say, when this new
place came to be filled at Washington
under guidance of hints from Stockton
Mr. Jacob G. Tucker, of Lincolnville
was found to be the incumbent. People
wonder what special aptitude, fitness o.
training was found in Mr.. L. that titteC
him for the place. A few years ago he
was 4 raiser Of horses and sheep among
the Vermont hills, and one good dea
more likely to understand the device by
which his patriarchal namesake divided
the herd of cattle with Laban, than K
know how to foil smuggling that ne
longer exists The need of such an Office
we leave to be explained by the sup
portcrs Of an administration that is pledg
cd to economy and retren2hment. Bu
the public would really like to know how
| it happened that, when the cup was raised
the little joker underneath was Tucker
and not Atkinson.
