PORTLAND, TUESDAY, AUGUST Z, 1921.

On the expediency of Federal Convention,
in this County, we believe some little difference
of opinion has existed among federalists still
the public voice is decidedly in favor of the
measure. There seems to have been degree
of doubt among federalists, on the course proper

ration, they thought all further eXertion 10 give

State, 10 be wholly useless, in consequence III
the majority which was arrayed against them.
and the spirit which evidently prevailed To pro
duce, with the hard sought separation from the
parent State, an entire revolution of the princi-
pies by which its government had been admin
stered. A conviction Of this truth, Oh the Dart
of the opposition, and an acknowledged ineaual-
ity in numerical force, relaxed their efforts. and
made them the passive subjects OF whatever rule
or misrule should be imposed upon them.
But there were some, who found encourage
ment in the heterogeneous combination of the
dominant party, and with prophetic eve saw in
the mass, the principle of its weakness and dis

Since the termination Of The wars ofEurope
at Waterloo, we have known nothing equal in
point Of interest and importance, TO the cleo
pioneering campaign Of our democratic breth

Wingate aud Judge Paris appear to be the

as the great bone of contention. John Holmes
and Mr.. Ware. than whom none are more

Mark Antony Of the plot, resolved to place
the crown on the head of Judge Paris, who
enacted Cesar, without initiating the willy Ro-
