the Executive Council Fn the 18th inst.-Age.

But without figure of speech. abundant evil
dence has been produced to show that the
democratic party Of Maine will never ratify
renegade bargains with the enemy. The dem
ocrats of the EXECUTIVE Council. whose chief
fault has been ]ittle bewilderment, see the
mistake made at tie ontset and like true sol
diers are now willing to apply the corrective -
They are by this time doubtless satisfied that
the sentiment Of tRe democratic masses is. the
coalition iniquity has been carried far enough,
and that tho confirmation nf another whio an
pointment, however pleasant it might prove to
the minority, will be likely to stretch the dem
ocratic power of endurance to point Of certain

We are then. glad to see this rejection Of
the appointment of Wig for Sheriff of Waldo.

We shall take the IibeEfy to state as our

The fact is, the city has got TOO big to be

Yes, Rufus, there yoH are. You tell the
truth We take the liberty to state our opin-

to say in the matter of thscity elections. We
hold the balance of powets We mean to show

But IF he (Mr. Bailey)xis not HEADED OFF
