THE CONGRESSMAN FROM CAROLINE Sketches (if I.Iff. Times anil linrarlfH ot Ciilhrvtli. The September defeat was a dis heartening blow to the Democrats In i i tlio fifteen members tho Senate the Federalists secured now lease of power in the State gov eminent, and one that seemed likel; to continue i the life of body, but which cxpiied at tlii election of ISID, when tho Democrats re gained control of tue General As seinbly through the gradual dccaj of (ho Federalist oi-n-anizatioti. a national party it died with th Presidential election of ISUi. I August Democratic prediction? had been uoufident.

It was then said of Caroline: "The parties in tins county ran very near at tho lasi election its political comple.vioi was decided by one vote in favor the Democrats. Not so this--all corn, whisky, money and factious newspapers will not. avail. It is lo- liovL'd the Republican ticket will prevail by a handsome- Queen Anne's, it was stated, would retain her dignified stand opposition only raise its crest to lose its feathers. Tho greater of tlio people of Talbot wore asserted to bo Democrats in principle and not to bo cajoled out of their sentiments.

It was with justifiable apprehensions of a second disaster a tho Democrats of Caroline awaited the ecoiul trial of party strength at the on the first Monday of October, the date for tho election of members the lower Houses ot tho and national Legislatures. A serious loss mil befallen them in the death, on August IS, of Montgomery Denny. A special convention was called to ncet in Donton on Soptembor 10 to supply tho vacancy on the Assembly icket. Solomon Brown, chairman, ud John Brown, secretary, were ho ofllcers of tho convention. Colnel Robert Orrell was nominated.

To his influence and personal friendship were largely due the immiiig ot' Culbrcth for Congress by the Hillsborough committee, and ho appears have takon the place in Democratic leadership and tho party's af- ectiou formerly held by the lament- Colonel William Wliitcloy. Col- ncl Orrell had served in tho House Delegates from 179!) to 1802. The 'ederalist ticket for iho llouso had joeii nominated early in the ncr. It consisted of Matthew IJriv- James Houston, William McDon- ild, and Samuel Cnlbreth. THE C'ANHIDATKS.

The candidacy of Colonel Potlor ras enthusiastically endorsed by tho 'ederalists throughout the district, lo appealed for support on tlio same ssue to which Culbreth was com- litted--hostility to tho Compensa- ion Law, and tlio Federalists activo- employed tho few days remaining eforc tho election in rallying their- orces for a second decisive victory tho lower counties. Culbrcth's friends saw that his lectiou was in tho gravest danger. Vith the vote of Qiitun Anne's di- ided, Colonel Potter would surely jcnt both the Democratic candidates. Vn appeal was mado to thu Wright ien to acquiesce in tho Ilillsboraugh iciiiiiiiiitioi). Ono of their foreinot laiuis tho Queen Anno's lembers of Iliu Hillsborough com- littec had been irregularly chosen.

It was arg-ued Culbreth's friends that this could lot bo chargeable to thorn. general committee had admitted the ccn Anne's Nothing vas said in June of atiy irregular- tics. It was absolutely necessary hat one of Iho Democratic candi- atus should withdraw, and allow ho parly to concentrate its strength tho other.

'lio ono could not withdraw, was ho Caroline contention, i the onsent of tho people who had rouglitliim forward the other, "by generous act of self-denial, might estoro to his old sup- lorters and friends who have labor- hard to gratify his various visiles;" certainly concentration ould not bo made by thu party on ho candidate who forced himself pon it. CAMPAIGN A I I Here it may be noted that with all is campaign troubles, Culbrctli far- better than his friend. IIol- trook. The former was elected, iu ho end, and tint gravest crime harged against him was prac- icc in tho choosing of the Hillsbor- iigh He wa.s not huld ip as deserving tho gallows or the letiitcntiary.

Whilo Culhretli's clos- st adherents, tho Orrells and Hurtl- astles, wero reasoning with the per- Wright pnrttsaiisaiul pleading vith tho Ex-Governor to forego his innouneed scheme of vindication at he polls, Holbrook was ougiiged in indicating himself. Among tho iteraturo of tho campaign is an ad- Ircss sent out by him "to tho eiti- is of Caroline, of the State of Maryland, and of the United States enerally," in a i of the statements nn anonymous "Farmer Caroline 11 had published. Thesn voro to the effect that Holhronk and lis fellow-Democrat, Saulsbury, Thomas) wore Jacobins that thoj' iad made certain Democratic gcu-' it tlcmcn at an electioneering revel, and that one of the subject of their politieo-sooial solicitude hai fallen out of his cart on his wn 1 home, a wheel had passed over his neck and lie had died instantly Though ordinarily a man of peace Holbrook was roused to a high pitcl oh i i a i and the use of bollig eront language. Ho spoke of tho anonymous "Farmer" as "this base calumniator," and his publication as "gross lies, slander and a particularly roused Holbrooke ire was a suggestion that, ho "wouli: do well to supplicate the grand of Caroline county not to indict him for manslaughter" in connection i the a sequel of tho aforesaid electioneering revel. Holbrook assured tho "Farmer" a he was no Jacobin, but it' the fatten would look in a glass ho might seo the likeness of one.

Although lie resented being called a Jacobin-which term the Federalists, who weio fond of trying to trace a connection the horrors of tho French Revolution and tho tendency of. Democracy in America, gleefully applied to i opponents--Holbrook said ho was proud of the nanio of Democrat, "bccausu Democracy means i but Liberty and when you are tired of Liberty and long to be your old Taskmasters again you may bid adieu to Democracy and fnrowoll ttt Liberty DEATH OF SIIADUAC'II DEAN. What had happened to give color 0 the manslaughter story was this: Shadrach Dean and Peter Todd, Holbrook said, had conic to his storo, it Collins' Cross-Roads, and bought 1 load of corn. After tlioir departure Dean fell out of the cart, a wlicol passed over his body, instead of his icek, and he died the following day. I'liis tragedy occurred on tho 8th of Tune.

Holbiouk quoted tho ecrtifi- satcs of Isaac Smith and Henry Hariss of Amos; attested by Henry liar- is and John Collins, that thoy wero his storo when tho coru was ight, and that polities was not nentioticd by anyone then present, ioth averred that they did uot sno lolbrook "offer any treat," nor hoar lini speak of politics on that day, they wero in tho store il lato at night. Holbrook thought he signature of "Farmer" a gross on tho honest farmers of Carlino, for ho did not believe one of hat "worthy class of citizens would Icsuoud so low" us to havo fathered hi; a a upon him. ITc warmly and iu all seriousness that ho had never boon cTtiilty of manslaughter in his whole ife, but if ho were to act as this 'Farmer" had done, "like a mid- light assassin, to conceal himsolf iu he dark while ho aimed a deadly tab at tho character of an innocent citizen." ho should think himself lit- le better (htm a murderer; and "if 10 will be so obliging as to i nc i his name we will which an appear the most innocent before court and jury." Who, asked lolbrook, killed John Nelson? Had in election revel anything to do with hat lie mado no charges, ho was areful to state, while jnan- lauglitcr and investigations by the jrand jury wero being talked of he i i of John Nolsou might ie profitably considered. It appeared strange a tho "Farm- n-'s" memory should liavo been so hurt, us well as treacherous, that he ould not remember "tho election they had at a certain placo in his county some time ago, and havo sked against whom is tho blood of 'ohn Nolson and others crying for 'ongeuncu A POTTER'S LANUINU THAOEDV. It is evident from this that Hol- rook suspected Colonel Potter of laving written or inspired tho letter -it the "Farmer." Colonel Potter ad headed tue Federalist ticket for he llouso of Delegates in 1812, when Culbreth and his colleagues on tho )omocratic ticket wero defeated, 'lie election was hold on Monday, Octobers').

On the following Satur- ay about fifty voters of thesuccess- ii! party gathered at Potter's Land- ng. They asked Colonel Potter's permission to Are a swivel on ouo of lis vessels, lying at tho wharf. Ho first refused their request, but was dviscd by a friend a he ought to ccedo, and did so, tho provi- a the friend should assume ho responsibility of accident and i tlio firing. The gun was ilaccd on tho wharf, and, according a contemporaneous account of tho written by Colonel Potter, "on ho fourth fire she bursted, killing ohn Noilson (or Nelson) and David Collins, wounding- Elijah Phillips sc- and several others slightly." Jollins applied tho match to tho Noilson stood about twenty yards off. Some pieces of tho gun," wrote Colonel Pot tor, "fell three-fourths of mile from the placo whore she iitrsted." In a postscript ho added: 'Tlio collection above nion- ioned all An inquest was held on Sunday, October II, by Coroner Goorgo i of Donton, and a jury of thirteen.

Only ono witness was examined--James Harding--and on his evidence tho "crowuor's 'quest" found "that John Noilson and David Freeman, ulias Collins, camo to their death from tho firing uf swivel which was huppoacd to be overcharged and bursted and that no person can bo chargeable with anything criminal in tho act."

B. Fletcher and Thomas 0. Jefferson wore named for tho Congressional convention, which will bo icld in Salisbury on May G. A discussion of tho matter of party pol- cy did not occupy much time, and Wellington was entirely forgotten, tt is understood on the best of nu- that Caroline's vote in tho state convention will be for Welington for delegatc-ut-lnrgo to tho St. Louis convention, in spito of the jitter hostility which has been inan- fested toward the autocratic boss who compelled tho Legislature to jrenk the law in order to elect him to tho United States Senate.

Crouching on his knees, as if in prayer, by tho front window was tho unfortunate old man, where death had overtaken aim. There wero bruises about his liead, showing that ho had in his writhings and struggles fallen and seriously hurt himself. But his spells had not awakened tho young man in tho celt with him, who is ulso a sufferer from mental trouble. Arnott had been iu jail about two weeks, and on the Saturday before Imd set fire to the building. About ten o'clock on tho night previous to lis death, the sheriff had manacled to prevent a repetition of the attempt to destroy the jail, and at that time he was apparently in his usual health.

A jury of inquest returned a verdict that death resulted Eroiu natural causes, superinduced by softening of the brain. Justice Cooper acted as coroner, Dr. George being tho physician in attendance. Undertaker Jumes T. Cooper took charge of the remains by order of tho widow of the deceased, and interment took place at Friendship on Sunday.

Ueitroy ed by Fire. Tho barn and two or three small outbuildings on tho farm of Mrs. Martha Everngam, on tho road from Todd's mill to Andersontown, wore destroyed by fire on Monday evening last. Tho Sanies originated tho upper story of tho barn, and spread so rapidly that very little could be saved. A quantity of wheat and corn, a lot of fodder, farming implements, wore consumed.

It is not known how the fire was started, but some attribute it to a spark from a tobacco pipe, although there was said to bo no smoking about tho building that evening. A lot of provender outside the barn was destroyed. Tho barn was insured in tho Royal Company, of London. Several years ago Mrs. Everugam's dwelling was burned.

Ono of tho names suggested to tho recent session of the Maryland Annual Conference as a good one to go on the list of delegates to the General Conference was that of T. Pliny Fisher, of this place.

Mr. Fisher was not chosen, but he received sixty votes. Judge of tho Orphans' Court Charles W. Hobbs' name was also before the Conference, and he was elected. Inasmuch as it was in Caroline that some of the earliest work of the church was begun and its establishment hastened, many think that it would have been right and fitting to havo elected both tho gentlemen.
