Resolred, That we feel in the death of
Charles II. Drach, that our School has lost
one OF its best scholars, one that was ever
ready to do good, and whose every thought
and action was for the benefit and welfare of
his school.
ResotCed, That we commiserate and deeply
enter into the poignant grief borne By his re-
latives and friends, occasioned by his sudden
death; but we do not sorrow as those without
a hope, for we believe that our loss is his
gam. de had won the love and esteem of all

been heard? Is the success Of. the party
''imperiled 2" Who can doubt it that
mingles with the masses and listens to the
bitter complaints Of men who have never
faltered in their allegiance in the darkest
hours of the blacklist and most stormy
night through which their party has been
called to pass; men whose devotion to their
party caused them to brave the dungeon
and the gibbet, and who would have per
ished rather than yield or compromise
their principles. Now, however, that this
cup Of bitterness is commended to their
lips by certain of their own household, no
wonder they are filed with disgust and
disposed to assert their own individuality
and self-respect by dashing it to the ground
Every true Democrat must deprecate
this condition Of things and the agencies
which have brought it about. Is there no
remedy for the evil but that of wide
spread revolt VIII the men who assume
to control the destinies Of the party in this
State, push things to this dire extremity +?
Will they listen to no remonstrance, hear
no admonition Has judgment fed to
british beasts and men lost their reason
Do they deem that they can SOW the wind
and not reap the whirlwind? We say to
them, in all frankness, that they have
driven their party to the extreme verge of
forbearance. One step more and they
plunge it into a vortex from which there is
no delivery. If they are wise, they will
stop just where they are, consider the sit
uation, and endeavor to repair the damage
if haply they may, which they have al
ready, it may be unwittingly, inflicted
upon their party. It were doubly crimi
nal to imperil our success now, when upon
the result Of the pending congressional
election may depend the choice of the
next President Now, more than ever
we need harmony and concerted action il
our ranks, and that any cause of dissatis
faction should exist, at this time, is deeply
to be regretted

The discussion of principles, questions
of public policy, and of carreDt events as
they pass, is the province of the press aud
and Of its correspondents But the en-
ployment of offensive personalities is the
recourse only of the ignoramus and the
BLACKBOARD. who thus puts himself without
the pale Of rational discussion and respec-
liability, and is unworthy of notice. Only
the coward and the assassin viii strike
from ambush, or under cover of an anony-
nous signature. These remarks are gen.
eral in their character, but an intelligent
and discriminating public viii give them
personal application whenever occasion to
do so may arise.

THE MAINE ELEcrIoN.-The Phila-
delphia Times thus sums up the results of
the Maine election:
The returns from Maine swell the measure
of Republican disaster as they come along.
1t is not now a matter of doubt that the com
bined opposition forces of the Democratic and
National parties have defeated the election of
Governor Conner by the people; have carried
the popular branch of the Legislature by
majority so decided as to give them control,
on joint ballot; have secured the election of
either Garcelon, Democrat, or Smith. Nation
al, to the Gubernatorial chair, and the control
of all the State department; have certainly
elected Ladd, Democrat National, to Con
gress in the Fourth district by clever ma
jority, and have defeated Hale in the Fifth
district, electing Murch, National, to succeed
Blaine's ablest lieutenant. 1t is NJ mere fall
tering of the Republican lines; it is the cap
ture by storm of the Republican citadel that
has defed all Democratic and opposition as
saults for quarter of century, and it gives
the Democrats and Nationals the entire adj
ministration of authority in the State with
two representatives in Congress. Ii is a
crushing blow to the Republican armies in
Indiana, Ohio and PENNSYLVANIA, and IT
practically withdraws Blaine from the now
apparently hopeless Republican Presidential
race of 1880, but he will be with the ssgreat
majority of the old-time leaders in what to
him may be welcome retirement If staunch
Republican Maine can be swept clear out of
sight of her Republican moorings with so he
roic and inspiring a chieftain as Blaine in
command, what sort of a serenade will Doubt
full Pennsylvania give the Cameron domino
ton in November next?
