Third Congressional District.

II is with feelings Of heartfelt satisfaction
we learn that the unfortunate differences among
the Democrats of the third Congressional Dis
trict have been amicably adjusted. This hap
Ply state of feeling will cause unmingled salts
faction, we are sure, throughout the entire de-
mocracy of the State. The Belfast Journal
says
Our democratic friends in this congressional
district, will observe by modification of the
call tor the district convention to be holden al
Kockland on the Gath OF August, that those la
tent elements Of discord which existed, or were
supposed 10 exist, in the party in this district,
are now extinct and put out of sight. This
happy result has been brought about by the
concurrent action of two congressional com
mlttees elected at Thomaston on the Goth OF
May last
The Journal further says that the division
which occurred on the occasion of the Thomas
ton convention could not have been longer
continued without endangering the safety of the
party in the district in the election of member
of Congress and elector of. President and Vice
President. Impressed with this fact, the two
chosen at Thomaston, waving all merely tech
nlcal points, have by their concurrent actions,
referred all questions at issue to the people, as
their will may e.expressed through their del
egates at the Rockland convention. 1t will be
seen that the original call is not changed, so far
as TO the specification of the place and day of
the meeting, and the basis of representation
Therefore, the action of every town which has
already chosen delegates under the call is made
legitimate. -
1t now remains for the democracy of the dis
trict to carry out the measures of harmony SO
happily arranged by the two committees Upon
the action of the convention depends the whole
matter. And we would impress the fact upon
our democratic friends, that the convention of
the Oath of August is one of the greatest mo-
ment, as upon it depends the relations of the
two counties of this district for the next ten
years. If, then, there are questions of appeal
to this convention, let them be made through
the legitimate channel of the town caucusses,
and let the decision of the convention, called as
it is upon basis TO which exception cannot be
taken, be abded by as the voice of democracy
of the district legitimately expressed in accor-
dance with the usages of our party which time
and experience have shown to be indispensable
to the success of our principles.
The action of the democracy of Lincoln and
Waldo in thus composing their differences, is
worthy, not only of commendation, but of im-
tation by the democracy elsewhere, wherever
similar difficulties have arisen. The several
whig aspirants, who have chucklej over the
favorable chance of getting to congress, by
means of divisions in our ranks, may now re-
linquish their fond hopes and bright future an
iicipaions, for the district will certainly be rep
resented by sterling democrat. Let the exam
pie thus so nobly set by our friends in this dis
trict be initiated in all the others. The success
of our cause demands perfect harmony" Gu
eryhing for the cause-nothing for men :" or
as Mr.. Hallett recently said - Everything for
The cause. and erery democrat for The men,
