Let lis Alone.

In the early days of the rebellion. Jeffer-
son Davis addressed war message to the
Confederate Congress, in which he used
the phrase: "All we ask is to be let
alone The expression was compen-
dunn Of the absurdities of secession. 1t
passed into by-word. 1t became text
for travesties. Northern humorists made
1t the refrain of comic verses, and it was
the joke of the Army. Never perhaps
did the head of State utter more I'M
fortunate remark ON momentous occa-
sion. 1t would be curious to speculate
how much good that historic phrase must
have done to the Union cause in the doubt
full days before Bull Run by enlisting in
the service of patriotism that sense of the
ludicrous which in 30 many Americans APP
proaches the dignity and strength of a pas
sion.
But in the South the declaration of Mr..
Davis was accepted with profound gravity.
"Let us alone" was the principle upon
which the holding communities had
always regulated their attitude toward the
Federal Union. The principle is still
maintained in full vigor by the democrats
Of the South; and their Northern allies
are as ready to back them in it to-day as
they were in the Spring of 1861.
The report of the Teller Committee
shows how the South is making practical
application of its ancient theory. There
appears" says this document, ito be
widespread determination in the Southern
States to restrict the freedom of speech t,
political questions, upon the claim that tn,
discussion of the relation of labor to CAPT
tai, employers to employees, and othe
kindred subjects, is calculated to array tn,
colored people against the whites, ant
thus endanger the safety of the people.
This is an exact parallel to the old-tim,
Southern pretence that even the mldes
form of ren.onstance against the institution
of slavery was devilish incendiarism
The United States cannot tolerate such rul
in matters that affect federal relations, an,
cannot allow despotic oligarchy to over
ride national laws and usurp the privilege @
legislating not merely for separate commu
mites but for the whole Union. When, how
ever. the General Government attempts +
protect the suffrage and to execute its owl
statutes, the Solid South clamors to be "le
Alone" and the democratic party of tn,
North. slavish now as ever in its subser
vience to the chivalry, is ready to stol

The Annual ElectiOns-Republi-
can Successes.

The reports received last night OF the
elections in several of the cities of the
State are highly encouraging to the repub
licans. According to these the republi
cans have carried Portland, electing &
republican mayor, and majority of the
aldermen and councilmen, securing full
control Of the city government.
The republicans have also redeemed
Lewiston and carried Auburn, electing re-
publican mayors and majority of the al
dermen and councilmen in both cities.
Here in the very heart and source of green
backism in the State the republicans are
increasing and the opposition are decreas-
ing.
We carry Bath, Gardiner, Hallowell
and Ellsworth, as before the advent of
the greenbackers. The election in Rock
land was mixed by reason of local conf
plications. and there is no choice of may
or and some of the wards are tied. Last
year the democrats had the mayor and a
majority of the city council.
Dispatches which have represented
Skowhegan as showing opposition gains
ara not correct The town is STRONGLY re-
publican as ever.
The republicans may well con-
graduate themselves upon the result of
the elections yesterday. When we think
of the extraordinary efforts which the OPP
position made, such as were never before
seen in the State, to carry the elections
against the republicans, even having i'm
ported speakers stumping as if in fall
campaign, the result is one to be proud of
and should stimulate republicans in other
towns and cities where elections are yet
to be held to work for success at the polls.
We advise our friends to make square re-
publican nominations, and sink or swim.
live or die, support them to the best of their
ability. Run up the republican flag and
make bold, manly fight under it for vic
tory and the right.

An Exciting Scene in the Senate
Lamar EulOgizes JEFF Davis
and Compares him to Washing
ton.
WASHINGTON, March 2, 1879.

WASHINGTON March 2, 1879.
In the debate upon the Mexican Pension
bill at o'clock A. NJ. there was very eIcit-
ing incident in relation to the pension pro-
posed to JeffDavis. Senator Hoar had declined
to place jeff Davis on the roll of honor, when
Lamar arose and said ~ must confess my
surprise and regret that the Senator from
ssachusetts should have wantonly and with
out provocation have flung this insult"
Senator Edmunds, the temporary presid-
ing officer, quickly raped Lamar to order,
stating that he was out OF order, where
upon Lamar said "The observations of the
Senator from Mississippi were in my opin-
ion not only in order, but were perfectly and
entirely true" Senator Edmunds ruled the
remarks out Of order and an appeal WAS tax
en-, and the remarks were ruled to be in
order by ayes, 81 nays, l5 Lamar then
continued in strain of unrivaled bitterness
and malignity toward the North, making an
eulogium on JEFF Davis. He said in sub
stance.
The remarks were not intended to be often
sive. If they were so taken, they were with
drawn The only difference between myself
and jeff Davis is that his exalted character.
his prominent ability, his well established
reputation as a statesman, as patriot and as
a soldier, entitled him to take the lead in the
cause to which consecrated myself and TO
which every fibre of my heart warmly re-
spouded."
Then followed euloyg upon JEFF DAMS,
in which he was compared to Washington,
and characterized as the ideal statesman of
the South He repudiated the attempt of
Senator Hoar to impute treason to him, and
said that when Prometheus was bound it was
vulture not an eagle that was found gnaw-
ing at his vitals.
Senator Blaine responded and said: at
would be necessary for humanity to forget its
interests and patriotism to give place to crime,
before history will give Jefferson Davis
place in history beside George Washington.

In many districts in the West the
traveller will bee growing Immediately
about the deofs III farm houses beds Of
aRhfoWers. The belief of many is that.
the growing suniower is a protection
from malaria and a preventive of the
low feyers of malarious districts. This
plant, we believe, is made of but small
practical use in America. A scientific
writer upon the hslianthus says!
elsewhere the sunAoweh If not adj
thired, is esteemed Impractical reasons.
Many of our native aboriginals make
bread of the seeds: It is cultivated in
the South 1T Europe sometimes as a
field crop, the seeds being used as a
food for cattle and poultry, and also for
making oil, which is little inferior to
olive oil, is burned in lamps, and en-
ployed in the manufacture of soap.
Meal and bread are said to be got from
the seeds in Portugal, and these, roasted,
are often substituted for coffee. The
seeds are also used like almonds for
making soothing emulsions, and in some
parts of the Old World are boiled and
fed 10 infants. The leaves are good
fodder for cattle, the stems serve for
fuel, and contain much potash. The
different species of sunfower indigen-
Gus to the United States number some
forty, scattering from ocean to ocean,
and from New England to the Gulf.
Fer q plant GENERALLY counted unworthy,
as it is with us, it surely has many valu-
ehle uses,
