the East will shine. SO clear and bright, that
every American democrat may see and know
that the democracy of Maine. like our patri-
otic nominee, are resolved TO know no North,
no East, no West no South, but will contend
xnitedly for the success Of democratic princi.
pies, and The glory and perpeluity Of the
American Union.
Your obi serv'i,
JOHN S. WELLS,
Letters were also received from H. G. Low
ell, Esq David 'Brien, Esq Hon. John An
derson, E. B. French, Esq, and others, which
which we would gladly publish but for want
of room. They were excellent, and all speak
the same sentiment of encouragement, conf
dence, as to the grand result.

The Gubernatorial Election.
The election in this State next September,
considering its effect upon the approaching ma
tional election, will be one of the most impor-
tant upon which the democracy of Maine was
ever called to enter. Coming SO soon after
the Presidential nomination, it will be looked
to as the prophetic key TO the result of the
Presidential contest, and will prove either a
note of encouragement TO the democracy of the
whole Union, or of dismay that may lead US
into total discontinue. AS goes Maine, SO
goes the Union,'' is saying too often true 10
be trifng importance. e91 7f 4'fl "
The wings are comforting themselves with
prospects of success from the apparent cold
ness of the democrats in some localities The
reckless and inconsistent course of few demo-
Gratis, and their seeming total disregard of the
true interests of the party, have stimulated the
wings to increased activity, and they are now
more vehement than usual in their Civilizations
of prospective victory. Totally Inscriptions
as to the ways and means of advancing the in
terests of their party-alive to every nantes
tation of division or weakness in the ranks of
the democracy, and ready to fasten, leech-like,
upon the mere apparition of hope-the wings
of Maine are now fixing their gloating eyes
upon the possibility of the democracy being
rent asunder by intestine conflict in the Sep
TENDER election, knowing full well that then
and then alone is the only hope. We confess,
that with the State election lost, there would
arise probability, unpalatable, yet strong,
that Maine would fall disastrously from her
present enviabe position in the pyramid of
Democratic States, and GO over with hope
crushing effect upon the democracy of the Un-
ion, to federalism and disgrace.
DEMOCRATS is it not high time to bury
these wing aspirations beyond resurrection, be-
fore the stern and united front of our columns
AWAKENED TO ACTION. Is it not time to
OVERLOOK, at least, past differences, and sacri-
fee all minor and sectional animosities, FOR
THE GOOD OF THE WHOLE. Our candidate for
Governor, JOHN HUBBARD, is as honest
and sterling Democrat as ever received your
votes. He has demonstrated his attachment
to Democratic principles by strict and constant
adhesion to those principles, and now stands
before you rich in those characteristics of solid
worth that render him deserving of another
demonstration of your confidence in an enthusi-
astic and victorious rally in his support
But some object with the plea that he signed
the "liquor BILL" As democrat, could he
have done anything else! We put it to such
directors, pre-snpposing they claim to be dem
ocruts, and ask, could Gov. Hubbard have
stepped forward after the bill had been repeat
eddy before the Legislature and thoroughly dis.
cussed, and interpose. the ONE MAN POW
l E'R IN dofoaf Tho icbo If
the PEOPLES REPRESENTATIVES 1t was alb
solutely impossible to interpose veto on the
ground of hasty Legislation or unconstitutional
ty, the only reasons for the exercise of that
power known TO the constitution. We doubl
the genuineness of that democracy that wonld
condemn the Governor for the course he pur-
sued '
Well, there is another objection. He pre-
sided at the State Temperance Convention a,
Augusta. Surprising we allow it was in bad
taste, and that is the worst that can be said Of
it. Will you, democrat, holding this objec-
lion, throw overheard as honest a man as John
Hubbard on SO flmsy pretext as that! II
SO, hunt mp the mistakes of yonr own lifetime,
and see if you would not be buried beneath an
avalanche of short comings. But this is really
silly objection. Was it not proper for Gov
ernor Hubbard to do inst what other Governors
of the State have done especially when urged
as he was by an embassy from the legislature
to take position, which from the nature of his
official station, he was the only man to fill =
In our own view, there was no improperly in
the act. 1850
The above are the only objections we have
heard urged, and we ask every democrat tc
weigh them WE'LL Look at them-then look
at the honest, infexible, republican character
lstics OF John Hubbard, and decide. Will vol
run the fearful risk of defeat in September
with all its gigantic and far-reaching conse
quences, upon the State and the Union, tt
CRAFTY an anmosity existing on no better
foundation NO-if you are a DEMOCRAT
tried and true, you will not for moment.
We have fa;th-we can see the DEMOCRATIC
HOSTS marching to victory-and that faith will
not disappoint us in the near approaching con-
test. Hold on to regular nominations be
concliatory, forgiving. Discountenance div

courage-put your shoulder to the work DE-
