TuoMAs ROBINSON Of Ellsworth presided, anc ad-

Hon. Freeman H. Morse, William Paine Col. }.
T. P. Dumont, R. A. L. Goldman, Luclus r

Kenney. Hon. EDWARD Robinson was re noml-
nated for Governor, with Hon. EDWARD KENT Of
Bangor and RUFUS X. GooDEsow Of Paris for
Senatorial Electors The other Electors are To
be chosen by the several Districts. An able Ad
dress and cogent Resolutions were adopted. We
copy two Of the latter:
Resolred, That the people of Maine have deep
interest in that grea; and noble fruit OF Wing effort
and patriotism-the Tariff of 1872 We believe II
mas awakened new energy and hope IN every de-
ne rment Of industry in this State We rejoice that
the utmost violence OF our adversares has tailed 10
break dow the solid Protection which that law al
lords to the uprising energies OF our young and
crcwing State. We are proud TO know that 1t has
created new desires and new means for improve
n.nt throughout, all borders, and has enabled
The people 10 exrort from the reluc'an, holders OF
oowcr long denied privileges and facilities for enter
Prise and Universal prosperity. We exhort our iel-
low citizens throughout the State. TO use all worthy
Efforts 10 secure the continuance Of that law, and 10
prevent inodcatlOn or repeal Of Inc WHOLESOME
protection 10 industry which II affords.
Resolred That are opposed 10 the Annexation
Of Texas to the United States, at any time, under
any circumstances, and such we believe TO be the
sentiment of large majority OF The people OF Maine.
We are not wanting III q just sympathy TOR the IN
eress Of that Republic, but we believe that she has
within herself and in The humane principles which
now govern the civilized world, all the necessary
na,erlas and guarantees for her prosperity and her
md pendence, while she offers nothing 10 this coun
lry winch would compensate for the hazards which
Annexation would involve. If the acquisition OF
rexas Is To be- accomplished TO GRITTY the rapaciy
of sectional interests. The attempt will dangerously
disturb the elements Of the Constitution and the In
on. In all the forms III which Annexation has re-
Gently been proposed, believe thar it involves our
immediate National dishonor, and the imminent
hazard of ingloriuus war. We love country, and
our whole country, as IL is, and we know OF no ad-
vantage which This enlargement OF our territory
would or, sufficient TO compensate or the sacrifice
of our HONOR and our PEACE.
Maine would 90 Wing but Tor the law Of the
last LocoFoco Legislature, which requires the
Wings to have majority over both Locos and
Abolitionis,s or lose the Electors, as in case no
ticket has an absolute majority the present Legis
Iature chooses. We fear this will beat the Wings,
but they will make gallant effort.

District assembled on the same day, and nom-
mated Hon. ALEX. II. STEPHENS of Taliaferro as
the Wing candidate for Congress. MIR. Stephens
IS one of the ablest and firmest Young Wings in
the present Congress, and has done the cause
good service by his manly snd patriotic course.
He will be reelected overwhelmingly, as the Dis
,rict gave 4,5O7 Wing to 30Q3 Loco votes for
Governor last year. He is pressed to partake of
Public Dinner with the Wings Of gallant little
rsliaferro as soon as may bc-which County
gave 43l Wing to Al Loco votes in l940 and
404 Wing to 90 Loco last Fall, and which, in a

NEW JERsEr.-The Convention terminated Its
session on Friday. The Constitution they have
framed was agreed to with but one dissenting
vote. This is tho result Of leaving Politics to
their proper sphere, and choosing Delegates TO
this Convention by union tickets.-We have al
ready given summary of the more important
provisions of this Constitution.
If the Newark Daily other well informed paper

shall not only copy but credit It, which has been forgotten by

They don't mean 10 elect them.
There have been some attempts to raise dis
nrbancc on account Oft. w. Dorr at Providence,
but they amounted TO nothing
NJ Our friend GANsEvooRr Melville OF this
city addressed gathering of the Loco-Focos OF
Sussex Co. n. ]. on Thursday, which Loco
account says was very largely attended; Wing
writer SAYS not. We split the difference, and
presume there was fair meeting. A letter to
the Newark Daily says,
MIR. Melville must have made some of his hear
crs blush when he said Clay was 2 man-every inch
Il man. and that the Wings had now presented their
principles. and that ,hev 10 be met by manly
arguments, and not BY the use OF sidns-it was not

We arc afraid Gansevoort docs not always re
member the good advice he has here given; for II
runs in our mind that his Grafton at the Tsber-
nacle contained large proportion OF sad balder
dash; but never mind he may say to his fel-
low advocates of Polk and Dallas,
