Democrats of Maine !!

FALL BACK INTO THE RANK Stand shout
der 10 shoulder! The fratrcidal war is over.
The dead have been counted. The wounded
laid aside for cure. The field is being cleared
of the vestiges of battle. Now, one and all,
for PIERCE, KING, and VICToRY. Let the flu
ture show that we are democrats, however we
may differ on local issues that have no right
within the arena Of politics.
The wings profess TO eXult over the late
election; but with the exception of gain of
one member of Congress, obtained through
democratic discussions, and few county Off
GERS, they stand as they 1oere. Indeed, so far
as the member of Congress is concerned, the
wings will have no more members in the next
Congress than in the present. They have
three now, and they have elected three to the
new Congress. The democrats lose one, the
State under the new appoItionment being en-
titled to but six members, the seventh is lost
to them. The substantial results of the con
test remain with the democratic party while
the figures prove that our plurality in Novem-
Der will be overwhelming.
Sill we cannot secure this result without
contestng every inch of ground. The opposi-
ton will make most desperate and unprinci-
pied efforts TO carry the State for Scott Mon
GN, lecturers duu llCS Will Uc ACTIVE agents III
the canvass The N. Y. Tribune says
And now the decks will be cleared for the
Presidential struggle. PIERCE has apparently
the better chance for the vote of Maine hi
there are influences silently at lcork which may
vet give the State 10 SCOTT. His friends will
not waste their time between this and the Cd
of November.
Forewarned, let us be forearmed. There
are "infnences SILENTLY at work." and these
influences we must hunt out and expose. The
wings do not mean 10 make an open, bold
hand-to hand fight of ii, but rather 10 work
''sIentiy," probably in the "Secret Circular
style. But we have no need TO meet them
with like weapons. Our candidates are known.
Their lives are as transparent as the sunlight.
Their principles are under no disguise. All
we have 10 do, is to reuulte our sundered
ranks, and standing once more, serried army
of freemen, upon the national platform of the
democratic party, meet the enemy face 10 face.
In this contest we know no other name but
Democrats. Other distinctive appellations
should never have been recognized between
democrats, and we trust the approaching presi-
dental election will see them forever con
signed TO oblivion.

one issue before US. Shall PIERCE AND KING

History of Gardiner" &c,

! Mr.. EDITOR There was depth OF sar-
equalled, in him who said, go that my friend
would write a book" An author would be
astonished TO know in how few pages he may
write down a sample of his wisdom, or his fol-
ly, and give the world picture Of himself,
which shall long be remembered for its beauty
! or It's delormity he may sometimes throw on
society work designed to enlighten the ig-
norant, and instruct all coming generations,
when child may correct his dates, or silence
his philosophy. | was led TO a moralizing
strain by reading little volume purporting TO
be "History of Gardiner and Pittston, y
which is almost TOO wild in many of its details,
10 merit passing notice, though possibly some
items contained in it, may be correct. only
speak of its statements regarding one family
whose genealogy and history is as well known
TO me as my own In speaking of that family,
the author nearly takes leave of times reali-
ties, and INDUCES in flights of fancy much too
extravagant for common life, and coldly talks
of strange events, which Mauchausen, in all
his marvellous wanderinss never met He
strides over whole generations at a bound,
attaching to one century characters and deeds
which belong 10 another. He also marres a
mother to her son, giving nnheard of relation
ships; and if perchance descendant of his
acting hero dies, he quite cuts him off from
his fathers house-he may not have lived IN
honored, but he "must die unsung."
Ii is difficult in writing treatise which de-
scrbes the various changes incident to domes-
tic life, to make no blunder; but if compiler
has neither the industry TO seek ont the facts
of the case, nor knowledge of his own to sus-
tain him, let him leave the work for ADLER
hands, nor lightly set down for truth that
which common report only has told him.
If it is found necessary Sin the course of hu-
man events to lay the fattering JUNCTION, let
it be done honestly, without disparagement to
those who early slept, and whose memories
shall outshine the present acts of manyo their
postcrty. In seeking the appreciation of the
one, the rights of the many should not be for
gotten, nor the grave robbed of its honors, TO
garnish the escutcheon of the living.
If another edition of this work should ever
be thrust before the public, in kindness and
justice to all, | hope the title page will give us
those cheering, but sometimes neglected little
words, rerised and corrected. A READER.

Ohio.

The Ohio Statesman gives accounts of two
meetings held in Columbus on the evening of
the 7th inst. One of them was called by the
democrats, the other by the wings. Gen.
SAM HoUsToN addressed the one, and Hon
HORACE GREELEY the other. Houston had
FOUR THOUSAND hearers; Greedy had
two hundred and no more. The democrats
were enthusiastic and full Of confidence. The
wings were cold and low spirited. OF Hous-
ton the Statesman remarks:
Gov. Wood introduced to the anxious crowd
the hero of San Jacnto, who spoke for about
two hours, in a speech of great power and elo-
quencc, which was received with great salts
faction and applause. Gen. Houston is a most
capital speaker, and carried conviction to all
capable Of approaching the truth. We may
have occasion to speak more at length hereat-
ter, of this mastery exposition Of democratic
principles and whig corruption.
Gen. Houston was received into the city by
the beautiful German Military Company, of
Columbus, the Columbus band of Music, and
left this morning for Cincinnati by way Of
Xenia and Dayton, and expected 10 speak at
three places to-day and tonight.

FOR ELECTORS,
Gin Union there is Strength"

The members of the democratic party In
Maine, must be nearly convinced, by this tlme,
that there is force and truth in the old say
ing, sin union there is strength" The results
of the recent State election speak out the I'M
paIatable truth that our divisions have placed
Maine almost within the control of whiggery'
BY these divisions we have prevented an cleo
ton of Governor by the people, lost two mem
bers of Congress, caused the election of twelve
wing Senators, reduced our majority in the
House of Representatives, and are now in i'm
minent danger of being represented in the
United States Senate for six years by wing.
The old glory and honor and faithfuiness OF
Maine democracy are obscured, and our breth-
rem in other States are calling loudly for an
explanation of this unusual state of affairs.
Although the whig party really has little to
be proud of in the present position of affairs,
unless the running down of their candidate for
Governor to near the standing of third party
candidate is a matter of pride to them, the
democratic party has much to be ashamed of.
By its own instrumentality, the recent reverses
have been brought about. 1t is true, side is
sue, distracting in its effect, was forced upon
US but it was not necessary that the demo-
cratic party united, should suffer thereby
We have fought among ourselves, and neglect
ed our own interest, politically, while whig
pseudo philanthropists, under the guise Of
moral advancement, were plotting our down
fall. At this very moment they are perfecting
schemes to entrap us in the next Legislature
and the glittering prize they have in view is a
Senator in Congress
Though part is lost, all is not lost. We
may retrieve our revcrses. Union is our only
salvation. Divisions must be healed. 1t is
not for US to say where the blame for our pres
ent position rests. Mutual concession must
now be our aim, or as true as result 10 cause,
whiggery rules in Maine for years to come
With reduced majority in the Legislature,
we hope to see the democracy united to man.
1t is of vital Importance. Let the union of the
party now perfected in the enthusiastic sup
port of our national nominations, which is to
roll up majority of ten thousand for PIERCE
and KING, be carried into our State affairs
and in our next election we may redeem the
past by leaving not enough of whiggery exist
ing to tell the tale of its extirpation.

TROUBLE IN lLLINos.-The St. Louis
Evening News of Friday, says a gentleman
who arrived in that city from Carlisle, in
Illinois, states that few days since a diff
Guilty arose in the place between some citi-
zens and party of free negroes, which
caused good deaI of excitement at The time.
1t grew out of fight which took place be
tween a negro hoy and son Of ex-senator
Breese. The father of the boy mIerfered and
gave Judge Breese's son beating. Others
inrerfered, and party after party became in
involved on each side, until the excitement
became general.
The citizens took the negroes who had
first offended tied them up and whipped
them. Three other negroes who had some
how signazed themselves in the difficulty
were served III like manner. Some Of the
citizens III the course CT The excitement. loa
ded cannon with several pounds of buck
shot, and fired it at negro house. There
were only TWO occupants in at the time, one
Of whom received a slight injury. The
negroes were ordered TO leave the place in
three days, and threatened with similar treat
ment if they failed to comply. When oul
informant left, the excitement had subsidized
but it is possible that il was renewed al
the end of three days truce, which had been
granted the negroes.

MAINE ELEcTIoN.-Some of the wing
papers are stuHing their readers with the
nonsense Of carrying Maine for Scott, in No
vember, because through divisions they have
gained few members Of the Legsla
1t only shows to what desperate straits they
are driven 10 keep up even ali appearance Of
doing anything for Scott. The votes of 200
towns in Name stand for the Democratic
candidates 45,93S; for the wing candidate
20,6l4. If it is upon such a state of things,
that they calculate to carry Maine, we can
judge how much weight should be given TO
their estimates in the nation. The same
towns last year, gave the wing candidate
1000 more votes, and all other parties re-
ceived 10000 less votes than now.-Nec-

An immense pendulum, hung within Bun

them is lie one we see given on The author

slight but pe.ceptabe motion, in the morning

by The unequal expansion of the sides of the

MAINE ELECTION The election IN Malne
on Monday, resulted full as favorably as we
expected. The divisions among cur lr'enus
upon local matters, and particularly on the
temperance question, led ns to fear that fed
eralism wouId SECURE a victory. But such
is not the fact
,,LaI,.,;raIy democratic, both on Governor
,'d members of Congress. In the above
IG7 rowns the vote for the two democratic
cand,dates is 1926, while the federal candi-
dare has only 1690S. This is not Of course
a test vote, as the temperance question af-
fecred the Governor very much but il shows
plainly enough that the State is safe for
Pierce and King by large majority.-N

A correspondent of The London Times
gives the following account of recent prize
fight, in England, between two women :-
'About a month ago was at breakfast with
my family. at Kensal Green, when | per
ceived a number of persons passing through
the field adjoining my house. | enceavored
to ascertain the cause. With much difficult
" did so. The stream of men and wo-
men had come from Paddington TO prize
fight between two-no, not men-women !.
One of my family, being incredulous, con
rived TO look across the fields, and there
saw the combarants stripped to the waist,
and fighting. Men took them there, men
backed them, men were the botteholders
and time keepers. They fought for about
half an hour, some say for S., some say for
a sovereign, and some say they will do il
again. | saw the winner led back in tri-
umph by men,"
