The Reported " nIhicultIes Ina Bath"
From all accounts, we are induced to believe
that particular friends, the late Office holders,
have devoted much of their precious time, since
the people decreed them to private life, in circu-
latng to all parts of the State, of the great
and " lncurable dsafection" among the men,
hers of the Wing party in this town. Ifsuch be
the fact, we wish them Joy of their wonderful dis
covery, and bid them welcome to the " diSafec-
tion mach good may it do them
To show that there has been no difference of
opinion among the members of our party in this
town, to prove that all mere differences of opin-
ION are removed, is not the object of this article
To do either, would be TO show that human socie
ty has come to a nearer proximity to perfection
than we believe TO be the fact. Where men are
accustomed to think and to act for themselves,
not under the arbitrary decisions of designing
/" leaders" but from their own enlightened per-
ceptions of duty, it is by no means strange, that
men even of the same leading principles, should
occasionally, at least, form different conclusions
IN relation to particular topics, not really import
ant perhaps, considered alone, yet not the less
fit subjects for the exercise of candd, impartial
reasoning, and enlightened thought. If none of
this "diference of opinion" exists among the OPP
position, they are really more obnoxious TO the
friends of good order and republican principles,
than we had supposed.
This harping about :" diSGfections' in the re-
publican ranks, we find, is ore Of the strongest
sources Of consolation and hope now remaining to
our dsconsolate friends the ocos ln this coup
ty, 90 where we will, and from whatever place
we hear, we are told of" disatfcctions =" ser-
GUS" awful disa Elections in York, in Cumber-
land, in Kennebcc, in Somerset, in Penobscot,
and so on Go into other Counties, and our
friends mourning over the serious and amfut
" diSqfections' in " old Lincoln' Now the
Republicans of this State may rest assured, that
this is all moonshine, so far at least, section
is concerned. 1t is but new tune from the same
old fiddle, and its feet in the end, will most as
tonish the simplctons who first set it a-going.
The object of this ganmon, is plain. To at
tempt to frighten the republicans of this town or
County, by preaching to us of" disattction" in
cos know that-every one knows it. The same
remark will apply 10 every town and County
hence these stories must be exaggerated, and
spread abroad i. The locos of York import moon
shine from Lincoln, Lincoln from York, aud so
on TO the end of the chapter. Thus, the locos
are supplied with the latest impQrtations, and are
ndustrously magnifyng every mole-hill into a
mountain, filing the State with their clamorous
meanings, and laboring by every means in their
power to stimulate their friends into the delnslon
that the Wing party is "by the ears and on the
very verge of humiliation The conclusion Of
this farce, will furnish the wise heads, who plan
ned it, an indnbitable evidence of the truth of
Solomon experience, that sail IS vanity aud
vexation of spirit
