Democrats. Are You Ready

The Argus reminds the Democracy that
their Senatorial and County tickets have been
generally made, and that it is time for Demo-
Gratis to prepare for the approaching election.
Il exhorts them as follows to organize
Vigilance Committees should be appointed
at once. The name Of every man in town,
who will vote the regular ticket, should be as
ceriained, and means should be taken to secure
his attendance at the polls. Our opponents are
thoroughly organizing. We must not be be-
hind them. The wings and boilers have a
very good understanding with each other and
though nolninally acting seperarely, they are
really playing into each others hands. To
meet this combined force, more than ordinary
exertion is necessary. If we do not put forth
that exertion, the democratic party, having a
majority of nine thousand, will be whipped
from Aroostook to Kittery. We are no mere
alarmists-neither shall we cry, Peace, peace
when there is no peace" We have looked
over the whole ground coolly and dispassion-
ately, and we affirm what we know. 1t is no
time now TO talk about ramrods or liberals,
wildcats or woolly heads If we would
succeed, all that nonsense which has produced
much Of the present state Of things-must be
dropped from our vocabulary, and we must
come up to the great contest solely as Jenerso-
| man DEMOCRATS.
DEMOCRATS OF MAINE are you ready! i
so, then buckle on the armor. 1t is not vel
too late to achieve signal victory.

Y SEGTIN LIGHT. The Mirror recently con-
tanned complaints against the keepers of sever
al light houses on our coast AS to the com
plants about Seguin Island Light, the Port
land Argus says -
AS TO Seguin, the Bath Mirror evidently la
bOrs under mistake. Mr.. Carter took an
early opportunity last week to have personal
interviews with Mr.. Rogers, the pilot of the
steamer Governor, and Capt. Farwell, of the
Daniel Webster, who pass that Light alter
nately each night. They both stated to hin
that The Seguln Light is well kept-that if j
were otherwise they should certainly know j
and that they never have heard any com
plant about it from any source. Such testi
mony as this will, we presume, satisfy our CO.
temporary of the Mirror that he is in error or
that point, and lead him to make prompt cor
rectlOn.
We are authorized 10 say in this connection,
that well-grounded complaints against any o
the Light Houses on this coast, if made to the
Superintendent, or Lieut.. WIN. B. Franklin,
Inspector Of Lights, (whOse Office is at the
Custom House in this city, will be attended to
Immediately.

Stowe did not duly consider what he said

''lies" and ''devil' are scattered along rather
thick, with the following cutting apology -

less matter Of calculation, than of imitation
It is not our ordinary style and dialect; but

The AUTHOR OF THE g HISTORY OF GAR
DINER AND PITTsToN." Authors get hit bad
sometimes And our friend, the author of the
'History of Gardiner and Pittston," comes in
for full share Of hard rubs. A correspondent
of ours gave him tremendous cudgeling not
long since, and one Of the Aldermen Of the
city of Hallowell, lately stirred him up with a
long and pointed stick as follows The occa-
sion was the dedication of the new City Hall
in HallowelI the other day. Alderman Rice
said =
| read few days since, in work entitled
the ''HistOry of Gardiner and Pittston," that
Gardiner is situated on the true head of navi-
cation on the Kennebec; fen light vessels
of small size pass up to HallOrCeU and even A1t-
guSta, though the water is so shallow that
travellers frequently see them aground e.
Wonderful indeed This modern historian
does not inform US who these travellers were,
whether CULVER or Baron Munchausen. But
before this learned historian publishes new
edition of his history, suppose he should take
a trip, for once in his life, up in the Ocean,
and survey the streets of Joppa. He might
learn some things that Gin his philosophy he
never dreamed Off .0....

Our County Ticket.

Democrats of Lincoln, your County Ticket
must not be forgotten. Give it your best eff

JOHN B. STUART of Richmond, is your can
didate for'County Commissioner. He is one
Of the best men to be found in the county for
that office--a straightforward, honest man
a firm democrat, and as popular Commits
sioner as we ever had in the county. He
must, heaciH be reelected.
RICHARD HI. T lER of Wiscasset, is son
Of Neptune, firm democrat, and right
down honest man. He is the very man we
want for County Treasurer Under the
"Galphinisms'' and "Gardinerisms" of cor
ruption-loving whiggery, honesty was not con-
sidered at all essential in their Treasury men.
But the democracy put no "Corwins" In those
responsible positions, but men of stern, inffexl-
bic honesty. And our candidate for County
Treasurer is precisely the man for that respon-
sible post Give him your votes.
SEBASTIAN S. MARBLE, of Waldoboro', is
your candidate for County Attorney. He is
promising young Attorney and occupies a
high position at the bar He is deserving the
support of the democrats of Lincoln, and if
elected will magnify the office. He is an ar
dent democrat-has been among the Oxford
bears, where he has resided and caught the
true spirit of genuine Oxford democracy, and
is gentleman of high moral character and
great personal popularity. There is salts
faction in voting for such man, and we hope
to record the fact Of his triumphant election.
