The following democratic Circular, devel-
oping their plans Of operation, and, in obedi-
ence TO the mandate OF their KlNG-ly leader
sdmonishing The people TO active obedience,
was sent Is BY very obliging correspondent
in Hancock county. 1t shows not only the
complete subordinaton Of the democrats and
the entire controul Mr. Kitg exercises over
them. but the active exertions which are ma
king throughout the District to promote the
views OF a party in opposition 10 The best in
gerests OF the country. Let this excite The
friends Of good feelings" 10 active vigilance
and we trust there is yet virtue and ande-
peudence enough in the independent yeoman-
ry If Maine to exercise their own judgment
and rights in rendering more lasting anu per
manent the happy era which commenced
with Mr. Monroe's tour.-We DO not publish
The Circular on account OF the erudition ii
displays " 90 this subject" nor because it is
any thing new for Gen Il. TO put his under
strappers in motion just before an election

dirty work again, and that exertion in their
opponents is necessary.

tSSIR-The subscribers have received a Circu-
lar Letter signed by the Hon. W5Aians King, and
others, upon the subject Of organizing the Re-
publican Electors Of the several towns in the
District of Maine, with view ofsecuring suita-
BILE characters to fill the various Offices within the
Commonwealth for the year ensuing and re-
ouesting us to designate suitable persons in each
town as a committee, who will engage ia, and
faithfully attend to this business On the first
Monday of November next, we shall be called
upon to elect member of Congress for this Dis
trict. At late very full meeting on this subject,
we have made choice otthe Hon. MARTIN KINs-
LEY, ESQ. as a candidate for this purpose.-You
are all acquainted ith his character, and we
have no occasion to say any thing to you on this
subject. The only question with us now is whe.b-
er we shall make united exertion in order to
urge the people to their daty in attending the
polls Or whether we shall once more suffer our
opponents though in a minority, to triumph over
US by eleeting Federalist torepresent, or rath-
er to nassrepreSent us in the Congress of the u.
States. We have a respectable majority on our
side, and nothing but the union and zeal Of the
Republicansis wanting to secure our complete
successs-Permit us then to urge this duty, as
being imperative upon us, upon this important
occasion. We have sanguine expectations ofbe-
ing able to elect Republican Governor and
Senators, on the FIRST Monday Of April next up
on this subject you will probably hear from a
gain, previous to that time. We rely, sir, upon
your personal exertions on this subject, and are
most respectfully your humble servants"
