You will please to give notice in your paper,
that the people of Lincoln County will give their
support 10 the HON. JOSHUA HEAD. Of Wal
doborougb, as candidate for the office of County
Treasurer for the said County. His well known in
tegrty talents, and attention to the duties of that
Office, (Which he has held for the two lasl years.
renders him eminently qualified for the perform
ance of them. Besides his local situation, being
situated on the great Eastern rnad and nearly in
the centre of the couaty renders his reelection TO
that Office more imp Rant to the interest and con-
venience of the county, LINCOLN.

Libel on The Convention.

The Argus accuses writer in the last Port
land Gazette Of charging the convention, as
sembled at Brunswick, with an intention Of
doing wrong As far as common reader
can understood plain English, the writer of
that communication said no such thing He
said that the convention 1csuld not do wrong:
that there would not be a majority OF the del
egates there, that would be guilty OF any
thing incorrect, and that the convention ,you!d
do right. If they did not find five ninths Of
the votes in favour Of separation, that they
would not do any thing SO absurd as TO form
an imaginary constitution. And let the result
attest the truth Of the prediction. But lei Us
see who il is, that re ally makes false charge
against that convention. In every statement
OF the votes which has appeared in the Argus
there has been deficiency Of the requisite
ratio. 1t is well known fact according to
statements on both sides, that the vote in "a
YOUR OF separation will fall short OF the FIVE
ninths between at least 500 and 1000 votes ;
and il is also well known that the nvariable
effect of official scrutiny is TO reduce the lar
gest number OF votes, most. Ii has alwa VS.
been so with the returns for the state elections.
Yet the Argus says, that the separation will
certainly be accomplished. Can there be a
G rosser libel on the convention !?

The late muster of Gen. Irish's Brigade
having made some excitement in a portion oil
the publics, not among those who have mill
tary duty to perform, but principally it is be-
lleved with the exempls, it is but justice to
state some facts, by which it will be seen
whether this measure is Of extraordinary hard
ships in its operation.
The militia of the 10th Division was for
merly brigade OF the 9Th Diyision-and
when the 9th was dismembered and the coun.
ty OF Cumberland Gerrymandered into two
brigades, the reason assigned for the irregular
division, by the then Gov. was that the ed
Brigade might be mustered entire, as easily
and with as little expense and trouble as in
most cases in the District Of Maine troops can
be by regiment Is it moi very singular and
inconsistent then in those who formerly APP
plauded this arrangement, to be dissatisfied
that this Brigade should be called together
once in four years
The first Brigade is scattered over tract
OF country seventy miles in lengths bound
ed by the sea, and the counties Of Lincoln,
Oxford and York. No two regiments in that
Brigade can be called together without four or
five companies availing themselves of the
fifteen miles provision in the militia law ;
there cannot therefore be any good reason fot
charge OF Partially in mastering the second
brigade in a manner different from The first
j" Far play on both sides" must know that as
large proportion of either regiment in the first
brigade must march ten miles to Regimental
review, as they are obliged to do in the Sec
ond brigade to brigade review.
Brgadier Gen. Irish, not content with abus-
ing his superio officer in his brigade orders, in
terms mutinous and disrespectiul, seems to
have determined to cause unnecessary fatigue
to the troops by ordering them together at SO
early an hour. But little time was occupied

.Mojorities. scparatsts now say that
separation ough, to take place, because there
has twice been majority in favour OF it. So
there have twice been majoriies against it be-
tore-and that eyens the scales again. But
tine statement is not true. The question taken
in May was not whether there should be sep
araion, but merely whether the legislature
should be requested TO give lis consent 10 it.
But admitting it was majority in favour OF
Separation, the plurality then was FIVE TO three
and on the lst Of this month il was not even
FIVE to four. Their plurality in September
fell short Of that in May 1000; while on the
other hand the vote against separation increas-
ed within that period from 5000 10 between
10000 and 1900. AT this rate, upon a.
mother trial, there would be considerable
majority against separation. The progress Of
public sentiment therefore Is ogaina separation.
The diminished majority at the last trial man.
iiests that separation is losing ground and
this is the reason, which makes the more MO
lent q the party SO anxious TO accomplish the
measure now some way or other. They know
il is their last chance

in the inspection and the troops might have
been much more conveniently inspected by
battaions or regiments as they were ready
on the ground. Ii is fact too that the line
of the Brigade was actually formed and ready
for the Brig. Gen. two hours before he made
bis appearance. Let impartial men then say
TO whom is attached the blame of causing I'M
necessary hardship and fatigue TO the militia.

But Mr. Willis must not only be abused for a sup
