HAMPSHIRE DEMOCRATS.
Who Still Cling to Che Lost Cause. A
Typical Southern "BlOw-Out."

To the Editor OF the Wheeling Intelligencer:
SIR Last night was the occa-
sion of big Democratic blow out
here. The external fire works fail
ed utterly, but the internal were
q great success. The character of
every demonstration, whether by
drunken men or those duly sober,
showed that the recent Democratic
victory is regarded as triumph of
state rights and victory for seces-
sion. The men who once did what
they could to destroy the honor Of
this nation were seen in the parade.
When the black clouds of relent.
lessnsss were oTerhanging this glo-
r;ous land, when the heaving bo-
som OF the nation was covered with
blood, when she lay gaspirg in par
oxysms OF death, when the dark
pail Of death and gloom covered the
union which was threatened by re-
bells within and England from with
cut, when the hags Of the Confede-
raey nOatsd within sight Of the ma
tioAsl capital, these same men, ma
ny Of them, were trying to divide
this glorious land Of ours. This
demonstration with its Transparent
cies, its public declarations and its
general appearance Of secession,
proves that its promoters, whether
they be ex.rebels or their offspring,
live on the passions Of the past and
draw sweet solacO from the graves
Of their buried faith.
They bag to their bosoms 90 9
divinely sent inspiration tho ran
cors and bitterness of . lost cause
They revelin the history of bygones
with its sorrow and gloom, blood
and death
They have proved that they de
not believe theirs was 'lost cause :
that they still love the confederate
flag and the doctrine of Estates
rights ;" that their pretentions oil
patriotism have been hypocritical
and that they have been brooding
over the past in silence, midst III
stencil OF dissension,. secession and
rebellion. They have proved tina
their declaration Of principles il
but thin shell which covers il
real principles, which, from sten
to s'ern, every rail, plank, nail
shingle, sash or rafter, is reft ant
rotten.
This demonstration, in spirit
thanks God for the power to rap
justice in the south and screef
its thugs, roughs and toughs fror
the laws they outrage in shootin
, down peaeeable Republicans.
It thanks God for the ability
handle election machinery eve
; here in Romney in such a way q
to prevent honest, intelligent youn
. colorsd men from voting, threaten
ing them with prison cells an
dungeons il they dare exercise thei
rights.
1t thanks God for the glorior
+ privileges OF boycotting Repaid
/ cans in business, of ostracisng RI
, publicans in social life. and tran
ping upon their rights withoJ
mercy.
Very respectfully,

The following to the Wheeling

with our endorsement:
Your correspondents has Just

from good Democratic county,
and unless. your correspondent is
badly mistaken about hias, Mr..
GilkesOn will prove strong oppo-
nent to those already in the fold.
One familiar with the situation,
speaking Of the matter, said:
Hampshire county has a csndi-
date for Collector Of Internal Rev
enue for this State. Hampshire de-
serves most snything pho would ask
for. Before the campaign fairly
opened the Democrats OF the State
wsro alarmed by the report Of q re-
volt Of some 500 strong in Hamp.
shire. In the face Of this eppo5i.
ton the good democrats there went
to work with a win and rolled NJ
an old-time majority for the whole
ticket. Men who never before tool
al active part in politics were en-
thusiastic and energetic all durin|
tho late campaign. To no one maj
belongs the credit for the result
there or elsewhere. It was EN-
Phatically the peoples victory.
great number Of these people ar
the personal and political friend
Of Mr.. u. NJ. Gilkeson, of Romney
and they ask that he be given ia
place Of Collector for their State
Mr. qilkeson has always been &C
tive in politics, but has never asb
ed for or held any office. Mr.. Gilkt
son has always enjoyed tho reputs
tion Of being a hard worker an
good organizer, but daring the Las

THE ALMARIA's CREW SAFE.
Capt. Olsen aud His Men Land a
Thupderbolt

Capt. Olsen aud His Men Land at
Thupderbolt.
The missing boat containing Capt. Olsen
and five of the crew Of the stranded bark
Almaria, reached Thunderbolt night before
last after twenty three hours drifting and
hard rowing.
Capt. Olsen came into the city yesterday
morning and is at the Marshall house. He
noted protest on his arrival. The remainder
of the crew were brought in from Thunder
bolt later, and were quartered at John
Kelly's, where the other boat crew is. The
whole OF the crew is now accounted for.
The tug Jacob Paulsen, in command OF
Capt. Avery, went to the stranded vessel
and found her on the north breaker of Ossa-
baw bar. There was deep water In close
proximity to the vessel, but she was high
up and her back was broken, the tide ebbing
aud flowing in her. Her stern was high out
OF the water, while her bow was under
water and she was fast settling in the sand
Of the breakers and beyond all chance of
saving. Her masts are all standing and her
sails are bent.
The crew of the tug boarded the vessel
and took all the furniture to be found and
some old sails from the locker besides her
charts and brought them to the city. II she
does not go to pieces soon by reason of
rough weather, and fine day like yesterday
should offer. lighter could be taken to her
and she can be stripped, although there is
hardly enough on her, it is said, to pay for
the trouble
