Nothing of consequence was done in The
Wallace house Saturday beyond the usua
ballotipg for United States senator. Fo
this balloting without quorum there ar
two reasons. One is that the Hampton
party are unwilling to commit the sam'
blunder as their opponents and elect
senator without a complete house ant
senate. The other is the desire to make
com promise, giving the senatorship to an
Republican who can secure the peaceabl

John TalbOt's Horse.

Talk of horses-and make fuss
About Rosinante, Bucephalus,
The Horse of Troy, John Gilpin's steed,
The horse that Richard sought in need.
Let those be lost to memory-all but
The horse of the patriot John c. Talbot
Oats and corn and hay were high
In 81, and were costly to buy
"And what shall do" Joha Talbot sail
"With horse that's eating off his head
A traitorous heart it is indeed
Would grudge to aid in this time of need,
To give my horse to my country cheap
The work of the horse for the price of his keep.
Over the dusty roads of Maine
Horses went in busy train
From country village and seaport town,
Bringing the volunteers, hardy and brown;
And the troops went southwark upon their course
But where was the patriot Talbots horse?
Well fed and well groomad, with silky side,
And playful whinny and lively stride,
As he trots through the wide flung stable door, he
Draws the private carriage Of Mr.. Shorey
The model steed of the democrat.
This was the game that the horse was at
His strength of muscle well-covered rib,
Were due to his corn frop the public crib,
The horse still lives-this fact of course
Is proof sufficient there was horse;
And until the noble steed be dead
Let none call Talbot copperhead
And let no patriot, North or South
Henceforth look the great Gift Horse in the
mouth.

The North Ignorant of the Fear
full Situation in the South.

The following is part of letter from South
ern man published in the Washington Chronicle :
The ignorance of the North on the situation in
the South is simply amazing to one, who lives
down there 1t is only the literal truth that n OF
one Southern sentiment entertained in the days
of slavery, and peculiar to that institution, has
been changed. Democratic conventions pass res
olutions that the situation is accepted, but these
resolutions only resolve a lie. The situation is
not accepted. The divine sanction of slavery is
the sentiment of many, while some OF the most
eminent jurists and divines deny souls to the col
ored people, and declare them to be orutes only
and hence, that the Constitution nor statutes can
make them citizens. The c1lored people are held
in contempt and of course their rights are held
in contempt also. As in the DAYS of slavery, so
now the whites are troubled with the bugaboo Of
rising on the part of the blacks, 10 burn plum
der, murder and ravish. Such thing has never
been conceived or attempted by the blacks, and
never VIII be; but 1t seems pretext for many OF
the murders by way of admonition to the poor
kind hearted, defenseless colored citizens.
In short, not a solitary sentiment Of the demo-
Gratis has been changed. They despise republic
cans as they did aboionists and the blacks they
hate as freemcn State rights doctrines are ram
pant under a new tme. namely, Local self gov
ernment and the plea to be "let alone" is only a
wall for permission TO restore slavery servilude
in effect, if not in fact.
In Co.'s name, will not the people of the North
anu West wake up? Will they not seek light and
truth ? There are volumes of evidence to be had
by asking Senators or Representatives. Will not

umph of the rebellion for ifthe Confederates sue

if fraud should prove unavailing. Unless the
North is willing 10 trials and troubles, to
which those of the war bear n, comparison let
them not pass the Government over to the hands
of traitors.
One fact more, in conclusion The policy of
the Southern democrats is to force the acceptance
of those engaged in the attempt to break up the
Union as patriots. JEFF. Davis was sent out West
to deliver agricultural add esses a feeler this
subject. 1t is the firm purpose to push this policy
using politics as lever TO compel the recogni
ton of the reoellion-lebels, treason and traitors
ssion and the lost cause" as respectable and
patriotic. Such is the meaning of uniting the
blue and the gray" thus making the latter
the equal aud the peer of the former. If this be
correct policy let hear no more of patriotism
aud the flag, and let those topics be erased from
our histories and our school books and let love
of country and devotion to the Union be no more
taught in schools or heard in our orations
Is the country ready to incorporate with the
national color the gray, and all there is behind it,
and all il means and inculcates: 5. II.

How Democrats Treat Those VIII
Expose Official Corruption.

To the Editor of tie hennebec journal.
The Arson Advocate in its last issue saw fit to
make several little petty spitefu digs at l.. L. Wal
ton Esq, our Somerset candidate for County At
torney. Perhaps it may interest your readers to
know the reason for this exhibition of petty spite
1t is simply and solely this: Mr.. Walton was the
Auditor appointed by the County Commissioners
to look over the accounts of Columbus Steward
the democratic County Treasurer for the year
1874 The disclosure that little deficit of nearly
$1,000, discovered by the carefulness and skill OF
the Auditor, and by his faithfuluess saved to the
county. fell with crushing effect upon the Somer'
set democracy, and though they are now shouting
loudly for "honesy and reform" they have never
forgiven him for unearthing this democratic defal-
cation
The editor of the Advocate is particularly
agsrieved on account of being obliged to help make
up the amount of the deficit he being one Of MIR
Stewards bondsmen.
The republicans of Somerset have no desire to
reopen old sores, but when the Advocate insinu-
ates that our candidate is not competent for po'
litica duties because of his youth, who can blame
us for retortng with his record in showing ul
democratic dishonesty and fraud.
