Ma. SHIRLEY-It has been minated in a late
CeAtH1et that the old Federal Maine army might
act, en- Potence,--as an army Of observaton,--or
as fiankers at least in the contest for Governor,
which IS now going on with spirit, between two
rival candidates of the same political creed
Did the status ante separation now exist, that
might be the case but that il-adyiscd measure
has put the old federal army ca deroute, and
mas overthrow them as etectually IS the Rus
san frost overthrow Bonaparte's veterans. By
this political trimming, the honest Republicans
Of Massachusetts and FederaIists of Maine are
left IN similar situation. The old army must
be recast before it can act efficiently.

Political Charlottesville convention at Alfred

so were for Judge Paris, 10 for Gen. Wingate.

The convention in Lincoln county, gave forty
one votes 80 to Gen. Wingate. 70 Judge Paris
and scattering against the former convention
there have been considerable complaints, against
the latter we have as yet heard none. From all
the information We have been able to collect on
the subject the majority in each of these two
counties viii be with the majority of the several
caucuses, though probably not in the same pro-
portion.
In Oxford, caucus composed Of delegates
from few towns, was unanimous for Judge Par
ris; but this is said to have been but partial
representation of the public voice and that
Somerset will be an Offset to this. In LOOKING,
over the papers from Washington and Hancock
countless we perceive that they maintain a total
silence on the subject of the election, except in
one of them is an extract from the Hallowell
Advocate adverse to Mr.. Wingate. We can

sentiment in those counties. The truth is there
is very little excitement on the subject below
the county Of Lincoln they think in the lower
counties, pretty much as the Federalists do here
that after all it is but HObSon's Choice, and that
to work themselves into passion, in the contro-
versy, would only be waste of animal heat.
Senatorial nominations have heen made in lin
coin and York. We have yet received no returns
from the other counties. We hope on this sub
lect the party Of Old Cumberland in the MAORI

Since writing the above we have heard that a
letter has been received in town from Hancock,
stating that caucus had been held in that coun-
ty, on the llth inst. in which Judge Paris had
