Waldo County.

1t is very evident from perusal of the do
ings of the two conventions in Waldo County,
to which party the blame of rupture belongs.
The seoedcrs mere the minority. They were in
duty bound to go into convention and take their
chance, trusting to the magnanmity of the
majority in giving them fair proportion Of
the offices. Instead of doing this, they under
took to dictate by preliminary caucusing what
the majority should do. And because they
could not effect the object, they withdrew and
nominated an Independent ticket for the Sen
ate and County. They in effect put them
selves in the boiling line, Just where democrats
are who intend to vote for the nominee of the
Portland mass convention.
If such course is to become common-if in
our conventions the majority is to be deprived
of ruling, and cabal influences are to be exer-
cised by the minority in preliminary meeting
to intimidate under the threat of secession,
,0hat is the use Of cOnUentionSa The people
better stay at home-give up the delegate pow
er and allow candidates for Office to be selec-
ted by clique OF political machmsts.
We advise these Senatorial and County
boilers in Waldo to look at Lincoln County.
Did the minority here withdraw and set up an
independent ticket! Did they undertake to
subvert the great democratic principle of the
right of the majority to rule, and set up the
monarchial doctrine that the people cannot take
/ Il Al.

No such thing. No secession here. The mi
nority handsomely gave in, and will support
the ticket at the polls with might and main.
We say then to the democrats Of Waldo,
support your regular ticket. Frown on 6ottcrS
and SeceSSioniStS, and see to it that such disor-
ganizing movements get no endorsement al
the polls from the tried and true democracy OF
I" bleeding'' Waldo.

The Representative Districts.

Democrats must bear in mind that the next
Legislature will be called upon to elect a
UNITED STATES SENAToR-if the wings do
not succeed in doing it by trickcry at the extra
session. No doubt they will make prodig-
ious effort Although the declared object
of the session is the land question, the real OBJ
lect is the senator question.
Democrats, take care of your REPRESENTA-
TIVE DIsTRIcTs, and see that the ghOle party
unite on your candidates for the House of Rep
resentatives. The wings, always ready to
serve the devil to accomplish party purposes,
will be found courting the abolitionists or the
radical temperance men, with propositions for
a coalition to defeat the g wicked lOcos.-
Anything with them to distract and divide the
Democratic Party is blessed work; and they
can join hands with free soilers, native Amer.
leans or Mormons to accomplish it. Demo

State Election.

On Monday next, the State Election takes
place We trust every democrat sees and
feels the importance Of taking hold manfully
and redeeming the State from the thraldom of
whiggery. 1t is to be regretted that our party
affords so many evidences of an unhealthy con-
dition-that disorganism has crept up from
small beginnings TO giant in stature, and that
the democratic party and democratic principles
have been lost sight of TO such an extent. A
survey of the field, we acknowledge, is some
what dispiriting, but all is not lost. The De
mocracy Of Maine has the power Of righting
the wrong, and bringing back the State to its
proper position and allegiance We have
faith to believe that it will be done If not
accomplished this year-if the democracy is
TO be again defeated by elements dragged in
to distract and divide, the time is coming when
the right will prevail though signal and over
whelming triumph. t'4 ',t
But we do not see why the triumph may not
be accomplished now. We have a candidate
for Governor, whatever may be said of infuen-
ces anterior TO and connected with his nominal
ton, who has the benefit of selection for the
responsible office according to the usages OF
the party, who was nominated by a handsome
majority and consequently has the right to ex-
pect the support of the party. That ALBERT
PILsBURY will make good Governor, we
have every reason to expect and believe, both
from his character as a man and his political
antecedents He stands on independent ground,
pledged TO no ism, sect or issue, and will I'M
doubleday exercise his influence, if elected,
for the good of the democratic party and the
best interests of the State "Ft
Then, democrats, to the work 1t is high
time to be up and doing. Do not allow your
selves to be drawn off by side issues, and see
to it that you preser6e yOur integrity at the
polls. Support the regularly nominated ticket,
whether for Governor, the Legislature or
County offices. AS was reiterated by the dem
ocratic press in the last state election, set your
faces like a flint against boHing, and come up
to the work like men, Thus may you accom-
plish the overthrow of the present minority
power in the State, and place Maine where
she belongs, in the bright constellation of
DEMOCRATIC STATES.

lamaton, calling the Legislature to meet on

Wing Work before Election.

NJ We always liked the way in which farming
editors are accustomed to deliver their precepts
under the head of ''WOrk for july" ''WOrk
for September" &c There is distinctness
and nnleli,,ess in that method of presenting
topics that is worthy of imitation among their
political brethren. There is no use in harp
ing upon the same subjects week out and week
in, regardless of the wants of the time At
some periods Wing readers need nothing but
elaborate discussion Of political measures
others, they are wholly DESTROYS of the current
Rews affecting their party relatiOns-at others
still, they need urgent eXhortations TO personal
activity. Thus there is Wing work of vari-
Gus kinds-but we are concerned only with
that which is demanded by the present eXigen-
cy.-1T7bu'le. " s.5i -.-,a
Our neighbor docs sometimes dash off a
string of truthful pearls like the above, for
which the country and the wing party in par
ticular should do him honor
lie likes the farmers precepts and plans of
''work.' No wonder he does, for they al
ways bring something to pass. The evidence
that the wing party ever accomplished any
thing, can only be found in exploded bank the
Dries, high tariff theories and other humbugs
but that wings were ever the advocates Of any
political principle worth straw, or ever had
principle that did not burn their fingers be-
fore they got through with it, viii task the
physical and mental powers Of this sagacious
Tribune editor to an enormous stretch to dem
onstrate. We propose to designate this work,
if he undertakes it, something as the farming
editors do theirs, say under the head Of Work
from, July to Eternity" This will afford dis
tinctness and ''ineliness'' enough for him.
But the great proposition contained in the
extract above is, that the work of the Spires
e6t eXigency" is the work the wing party has
got to do At some times, wing readers want
'eIaborate discussion of political measures
that means, we suppose, the same discussion
that takes place in cider barrel when the

At other periods wings need 'scurrent
news" They didn't, though, last fall, when
the returns came in from New York There
was not a wing in this city who was willing
to acknowledge he knew anything about the
''current news, or had read newspaper for
week. They were all dumb-struck by the
reiterated and long continued claps of Pierce
thunder, as State after State came rolling in.
When do they need ''current news" then
We answer, JtH 6efore election--they never
want to know anything afterwards. 9
