CATER TUE BALL."-The dis
satisfied element of the st. Mary's
Democratic PARTY are, we hope, now
satisfied. Our editor-candidate APP
pears to have been the man they
were specially after, and he cheer
fully acknowledges that they got
him. He has, however, the easy
conscience OF having done his whole
duty, and will be found, in the fu-
ture as in the past, fighting earn
estly for his party and faithfully
supporting its ticket. To his
friends he is sincerely grateful for
all they did and sought to do for
him and will ever show his appreci-
alton of their services. For his
own defeat, he has, personally, few
regrets, but his sorrow that his con-
fres on the ticket were dragged
down with him is heartfelt. De-
feat has only made him more ear
nest in the cause of his friends and
has taught him with emphasis I'M
mistakable who they are.
To the recalcitrant voters who
aided the Republicans to beat the
party, he has but to say that he
hopes their vengeance is now satia-
ted. The st. Mary's Democracy is
defeated and the Republicans are
triumphant. TIA res agitHr.

Stephen Decatur, the naval hero, was
