DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION.
FOR GOVERNOR,
ALBERT PILSBURY.
Lincoln County.

1t becomes us, then, to reorganlze our ranks,
and put them on the march to victory Els
pecially here in old Lincoln, where effort has
always been synonymous with success, should
the wing party put itself into complete array.
Let it be done. Let each man do something
towards the good work-rouse the attention OF
his neighbors-fll the primary meetings, and
attend either as a delegate or welcome and
pleased spectator at Wiscasset. We are con-
fident that our readers will respond to the call
and will feel fully repaid for so doing .-Iri-

The above extract from the leading whig
organ in this county will serve to show to the
democrats of Lincolnthat there is work enough
TO do. The wing party is going to place it.
self .'into complete array" All the ele-
ments that can be brought in to help the wings
of Lincoln, such as the Maine law, abolition
coalition, &C., are to be put in requisition, to
help maintain that ascendancy which has been
the curse and bane of Lincoln. Candidates
for the Senate will be ready to proclaim them
selves the ardent friends of the s'Maine Law"
to make any bargain with the free soilers to
get their votes, even to secret operation upon
a free soil convention after a nomination; to
defame the democratic nominees, engender
quarrels, raise up local difficulties to distract
and divide US, and the organization of gener-
al system Of underhanded schemes to ''divide
and conquer"
Mr.. Crosby having mounted fully astride
the "law" hobby, will be represented as a

is notorious that he takes his glass Of liquor oc-
cGsionally and lets half a dozen buildings in Bel
fast for grog-ShopS! The newly elected Lin
coin M. G. will take hold manfully-he will
be ready for the game of weeping over the
drunkard's woes, outside, and protesting great
regard for temperance among temperance
wings, and having good time now and then
under cover to propitiate anti-law wings
The great move in the game is to carry all
side issues, by stratagems and fraud, into the
canvass, so as TO work out the greatest benefit
to the great and glorious wing party. 1t is
deemed highly necessary to ensure Mr.. Cros-
by's election by the Senate, that whig Sena-
tors should be elected in Lincoln.
Now, we ask the democrats of Lincoln,
whatever the particular preferences or stripe
of individuals, if here, where democratic eff
fort has always, when made heartily and unit
eddy, sheen synonymous with success" the
democratic party should not ''pun itself an COM

can be done. Let the democracy come up to
the work unitedly-sacrifce individual prefer
ences, local animosities and intestine conflict
take hold with good heart and good will
and old Lincoln may stand forth disenthraIled
and redeemed.
The first and most important work to be
done is the election of delegates to the County
Convention. Let us get clear Of strife, and
elect men who have at heart rising above ev-
cry other wish, an earnest desire for the sue
cess of THE DEMOCRACY. "Let each man do
something towards the good work-rouse the
attention Of his neighbors-fll the primary
meetings, and attend either as a delegate or
aOelconae and pleased spectator at Wiscasset )"
Then let us nominate our Senators and Coun-
ty officers, not because they are ''woolly-
heads or wildcats, p but because they are
DEMOCRATS, and the men we can and tgiH elect
All we want is the energy and will consequent
upon concession and harmony. That secured,
the POWER is in our own hands. Lincoln is
democratic, to-day, overwhelmingly democrat
&c, and the enemy will so understand it when
'ce come up in complete array"
Then let us put on our armor and prepare
for the work. We have been sold to the beg
carly elements and sequences of whiggery
long enough. 1t is time to rise and nobly as
sert our manhood-instead of looking on long
er as idle spectators to the burning Of old Lin
coin under the iddling of whiggery.
