interested should cause the local holdings
of the new stock to be very large.

Hannibal Hamlin Gone.

Although but lit lie known 10 the pre-
sent generation of young Americans
and, indeed, not thoroughly understood
by the generation in which his active
official life was passed-Jhe news which
announces the death of Hannibal llamiIn,
of Maine, gives intelligence of the death
of a much larger pattern OF man than be
is commonly considered. 1t is fifty
years nearly since he was first sent to
Congress originally, as representative,
and then as Senator, for long period OF
time-havlng previously been in the
State Legislature aud having won dis
tinction as a lawyer. In the meantime
while his Congressional and Senatorial
terms were rupning-he was Governor OF
Name and Vice President of the United
States.
Mr.. Hamiin was true patriot-ihor-
oughly earnest in his preference of his
country over party-ab5outely honest in
otfice-shrewd and able as a statesman
basiug his political action on what he Ge-
lieved to be sound principie-and which
proved to be emphatIca!ly SO in regard to
his opposition to slavery, and 10 the
domination of Southern men over the
Democratic party, to which he belonged.
On this last named issue ne differed
openly from his party, and ultim .tely
separated from it when the repeal OF the
Missouri Compromise" was iniected il
to the Kansas Nebraska bill, as a mere
''stump speech" as Senator Benton
branded it.
His views of his duty were always
clear and firm, and he had what Is des-
cribed as the courage OF his convic-
tiouS," following them to thtsr logical
results-aud III one notable instance lie
followed them into tie Republican party,
although he never ceased to be indepen-
dent in his habits of thought and action,
and never ceased TO be Democrat in
the true and best sense of the term.
1t was a most unwise thing for his party
to do when it threw him aside at the
time of Lincoln's second nomination, in
order to curry favor with border slave
States by nominating Andrew johnson.
1t did not take long to bring about the
time and the circumstances that caused
them to rue that in sack cloth and ashes.
