Messrs. V. A. Wrightson and r. NJ.

The Leap Year party which took place
at Mrs. Mamie Smiths house, Old ST.
1nigo's, recently for the benefit of the
Church at ST. Mary's City, was 9 decided
success. The rooms were decorated in q
most artistically and beautiful manner with
and elegant, and we entertain the opinion
that the most fastidious could not have
found fault. The gentlemen, be it said to
their praise, were very reserved in their
manners, and it was exceedingly difficult
for the ladies to get them to accept treats
Of ice cream, shawl pins, pepper boxes,
hobby.horses, and to indulge in the occult
art Of horoscopy. Many thanks are due to
Miss Lizzie Thomas and her assistant
teachers, for they were the prinsum mobile
in the affair.
II is consoling thought that whether
we view death personified in the character

mere negation of life, ii destroys only the

chronicle the fact that several estimable
ladies of the district have stepped beyond
the boundaries of time and have taken
their stand in eternity. Miss Gussie Mil

Cullison win be greatly missed not only in
their immediate families but by large
circle of friends and acquaintance.

B. III. CaHalier, EsQ.,-Ay Dear Sir -
Almost TO the present moment expected
to be able to accept your kind invitation to
attend the Qualification" ut Leonardtown
this evening and speak q few words Of
cheer" TO the gallant Democracy of st. Ma
rvs. But l find now, much TO my regret,
that I win be unable to do 50. We, in
common with the people Of the whole coun-
try, have great cause TO rejoice over the tri-
umph Of the principles we represent and
advocate. There never was cause more
closely allied to the great masses of the
people than that represented by the candi-
dates and platform of the Democratic par
~ in the recent election, and the result
shows how fully alive the people were to
this fact. It is an encouraging sign Of the
success OF our republican form Of govern
ment, and Of the stability of our institu-
tons, that in spite of the ILL bodings Of many
astute and experienced politicians. "the
people" were not mistaken in the princi-
Piles they wished TO establish, or in the lead
ers through whom they wished to accom-
plish these results. l cannot conceive of q
safer government than thst which Is con-
trolled by the thoughtful and patriotic
masses Of its people. When their atten-
ton Is drawn to danger which threatens
them, there is q sort of intuition which
leads them to the cause Of right and safety.
They may be lnlled for time into an APP
parent indifference, but when the danger
becomes manifest. they can always be re
lied upon to rescue themselves from dan
gerous encroachments upon the limitations
of their Constitution. which Is at once the
shield and bulwark of their liberties.
believe this il triumph of the American
people over an aggravated assault upon
their rights and liberties, and Is such ii il
exceedingly appropriate thos they should
meet and give expression 10 the pleasure
!, their victory occasions. can only regret
my inability TO be with them on such an
/ auspicious occasion.
Very truly your friend,

B. Harris CansaIier, Esq ,-Ay Dear SIR !.
Your very kind favor of 10Th reached me
yesterday. / regret that having public
sale advertised for Thursday, Gath, at which
my presence personally is indispensable,
will prevent my acceptance of your invita-.
ton to be with the st. Mary's Democrats
on the occasion of their coming jollifica-
ton. But beg u assure you that shall
be with them in spirit, for my earnest sym
pathies have always been with Southern
Maryland Democrats, regardless of county
lines, in their brave but unequal fight
against the bad influences which they have
had to combat; and rejoice with them in
the belief that the day of final deliverance
from the evils that have so long oppressed
them has at last dawned.
Allow me to thank you very cordially
for the kind and complimentary terms in
which you communicate the invitation OF
your committee.
I remain very truly yours,
+. M. Cox.

We give below the letters of regret sent
by gentlemen who were invited % attend
tie recent Democratic celebration In Leon
ardtown and who were unable TO be here !:
Mr.. b. Harris Camalier = / regret en-
ceedingly that your letter reached me too
late to enable me to attend the celebration
of Democratic victory at Leonardtowr. on
the Gath instant.
The great victory recently won is wor-
thy of celebration in every part ofthe coun-
try, and / know of no more appropriate
time than on the day set apart for univer-
sal thanksgiving.
The people OF the country should be
grateful for the preservation of their Con.
stitution and their liberties, secured 20 them
BY the recent Democratic supremacy, for
indeed the ground work Of our Cons,itu-
ton was imperilled by the abuse and mis-
use of the power exercised by the Repub-
lican party. which in its insolence forgot
both country and people, and cared and
thought of nothing save to perpetuate it.
self at whatever expense or disaster 10 the
country and the people.
While St Mary's did not go Democratic,
l trust thar its people will take cheer ut the
great victory in the country, and that those
who used TO be reckoned as Democrats and
who became Republicans for profit and not
because of belief in that party, but who in
most cases despaired of Democratic sue
cess. will now realize that the day of hope
is at hand, and will fall in line and redeem
their old county ct the next election.
trust that the farmers of your county,
as well as the whole country, win soon sec
the star of hope which can only rise in the
Democratic armament, and that at no dis
tant day they will -eceive good prices for
their products and that they win be able
to buy an honest dollars worth Of goods
with dollar in money.
Yours respectfully,
