Wings of Maine be vigilant,
be watchful, from this time until
the SECOND DAY of NOV
EMBER next, and guard the
PURITY of the BALLOT BOX.
The Office Holders throughout
the State, urged on by despair,
and goaded by madness, at our
late glorious victory, are making
the most desperate exertions to
regain their lost position. They
declare openly, that Maine MUST
and SHALL return to obedience.
But how is this to be brought a.
bout ? How is Redeemed, Dis
enthralled Maine, again to be
chained to the sinking car of the
Spoilsmen !? Judging from what
has been, all sorts of tricks, de-
ceptions and FRAUD, will be
resorted to. From the known
character of our opponents, we
must calculate on being CHEAT
ED out of many votes,-for des-
perate men play desperate games!
We say unto all true Wings,
therefore, WATCH ! WATCH !!
Give us but FAIR PLAY, and
let the HONEST VOTERS of Maine
act according TO the dictates of
their consclences, and Patriotism
will again TRIUMPH !
TO show our readers, that our
fears are not all imaginary, we
will give an incident or two of the
late election, in this town.
An ambitious loco, not voter
here, was sent across the river, to
vote in Woolwich, and after, if
we may credit his own statement
putting in TWO VOTES in that
town, he was brought here to per-
form similar operation, and wax
ed exceedingly warm, because he
was not allowed the " largest lib
erty''-and vote, where, and as
often as he pleased. But the most
despicable incident of the day was
a trick played off by loco leader
upon an honest member of his own
party. The man had voted and
retired to his daily labor. He was
called upon late in the afternoon
by said leader, and requested to
go and vote. He replied, that he
had voted. O, we'll said the lit
tie personifcation of MODERN de-
mocracy, we are now to vote on
another question The man got
into the carriage with his deciever
and went innocently, as we be-
lieve, TO the ballot box, a second
time. Confding in the man, who

quest our republican friends on
the sea-board Of this County, TO
keep a sharp lookout for official
Interference about this time. Two
distinguished Custom-House Off

have already been either ''takin'"
or givin' "NorEs'' in that direct
ton.
BY the way, has any one seen

lar desire to know.

had thus insulted him, and who
was hurryirg him on, he did not
think of examining his ballot, un-
til he was checked and repri-
manded for attempting to VOTE
TWICE! What confidence can
be placed in men, who will take
such means, to obtain their endsS
Similar schemes will be attempt
ed at the November Presidentiall
election, and, no doubt, as the
stake is greater, on more mag
nfcent scale.
Let every true Republican then,
of whatever party name, see to it,
that the ballot box, the palladium
of Liberty, is not, like the Turk
ish Janisaries, made the instrH-
ment of again placing in power,
selfish oligarchy, always the en-
emies of true Liberty.
We say again, then, Wings of
nj aine, be SLEEPLESS be
VIGYLANT !! be WATCH
FULL -! and another VIC
TORY for LIBERTY and
COUNTRY, will crown our Ia
bours.
