The Democracy of Maine.

The recent glorious democratic victories ap-
peal with power TO the democracy of Maine to
be up and doing in the work of giving Pierce
and King one of the handsomest majorlies ev-
err given to the Democracy of the Union by the
Pine Tree State. Pennsy vania speaks with
her large majority, and bids the democrats of
Maine TO follow in her lead. Indiana, the
banner State, speaks, and says TO the Star in
the East, come up to our EIGHTEEN THOUSAND
majority, if YOU can can do il. The democra-
cy of the Union sends greeting to Maine to
prepare TO give another demonstration of her
loyalty.
Democrats, do you realize the importance of
your position Maine, side by side with New
Hampshire, shares in no small degree in the
honor of the nomination awarded 10 the Gran
lite State. The eye of your leader is upon you
you are in the front rank-and he scans the
onward march of your forces. Advance firm
ly into the conflict, and by your deeds of valor
confirm your integrity.
In less than tgo aoeeEs the victory is to be
won. Franklin Pierce is to be elected Presi-
dent of these United States by an overwhelm-
ing vote. That is fixed fact. Yet it is no
reason for relaxation of a single effort. Act
as though the question was to be decided by
the vote Of Maine. 1t is a question of vital
Importance to the interest of the Republic
You are TO say whether the present corrupt
and inefficient administration lie to coptinua I'm
fetter our energies and blast our reputation or
whether, so far as the voice of Maine shall
exert an influence, it shall be consigned to de-
feat and nfamy. Yuu are to give yonr aid in
restoring to the hands of DEMOCRACY that
power so much abused under the guidance Of
FEDERALISM you are to assist in bring
ing back to the country that economical yet
conservative and progressive policy under
have attained onr present position of prosperi-
ty and greatness. Will you, as in former
days, prove true to the right!
We wish to bring home to the understand
ing OF every democrat the fact that the contest
Is AT HAND We want every democrat in
Maine TO understand that NOW is the time for
actlon-that foe of dark and secret and I'M
scrupulous expedient is to be met and van
quished-and that Maine has everything to
lose by defeat, and everything to gain by VIC
tory.
DEMOCRATS OF MAINE! Are you readvq-
1t is just now the time to work. The period
of the present is neither too early nor too late,
but THE time for concerted, vigorous action
Hold your town and district caucuses for the
infusion of spirit and enthusiasm-for the pnr-
pose of showing up the ISLANDERS promulgated
by the whig party, and impressing upon your
brethren the Importance of the coming contest
be on your guard against wing tricks of every
description. 1t is feared a game will be played
upon us by false ballots on which portion Of
our electors shall be left out and the names OF
wings substituted. See that every town is
well supplied with ballots. Let every demo
crat be well acquainted with the names of opr
electors. Forewarned, forearmed.
There is no doubt of the result in Main.
but let every democrat act as though his exer,
