Peoples Mass Convention in the Third
District

A convention OF this description is called
10 meet al RUckland To-day, August llih.
10 nominate candidate for Congress. We
very much regret the state Of things which
this call indicates, aud The failure of The
preliminary negotiations 10 effect unio,.
OF all parties in hat district opposed 10 Ne
braska, bull we trust such union will yel
be brought about. A failure 10 do SO will
be quite certain 10 secure The election OF an
administration man, aud a dough.face. We
believe j, 10 be The duty of all friends OF
feedem TO yield all lrihing mailers of
forms and modes, for The accomplishment
Of practical results. We hold Ina, The spiri,
of The uhig resolution passed ut The Stale
convention, should he honestly acted upon
in all the districts. II that resolution did
mol NEE, The appreciation Of the whig parry,
then aud there was The place and time 10
discuss il aud modify il 10 suit their views,
and not assent 10 il there and 30 away and
refuse TO live up TO il elsewhere. II was
intended 10 lay down plain practical and
effective rule Of action, and all can now see
that nothing shorl of thai ian accomplish
any good result. We do not know what
reason The Wings Of the third District had
for rejecting The proposition said by the
Progressive Age, 10 have been made 10
them, but we CONFESS We can perceive none.
-Kennebee Journal.
The proposition referred 10 as stated by
the Progressive Age, was that the People, s
Convention should be held in which men
Of all political organizations opposed TO the
Nebraska bill, should unite and The Age
says Mr.. Farley's friends were advised, rs
was also Mr.. Farley himself that The other
parties not wings in the district would con-
cete tho nomination to Mr.. Farley. This
the Age says was refused both by Mr.. Far
Icy and his friends, and The oiher parties
were given 10 understand, that Mr.. Farley
would be nominated in wing convention,
and then il they chose they could fall in.
Out Of this refusal has grown the Rockland
Convention, which has been held, and put
in nomination, Mr. Ebenezer Knowlion.-I
A little concession on the part ofMr. Farley
and his irends,-a yielding which would
have been honorable to Them, and which
involved no departure from principle would
have ensured an Anti Nebraska triumph in
the district. We hope iha, even at this
laie day some union may be efec'ed.
With The Journal We can see no reason why
the reasonable proposition said 10 have
been made was rejected. If The wings in
that district think 10 succeed by catering
for sentiment. indifferent, or in favor Of
Nebraska we arc quite sure that they will
moi do SO, and failure under such circum.
stances would be a source Of modification
only TO themselves.

THE STATE OF MAINE,

We think our friend, the Editor Of the
State Of Maine, Is too much disturbed on
account Of the part which Mr.. Wiley, Of
the Inquirer, took in the proceedings Of the
Biddeford Convention. We believe that both
Mr.. Wiley and our friend ere sincerely OPP
posed to the repeal Of the Missouri COnpro.
mise, and we should have been glad to have
met both instead Of one at the convention.
We expected, as q matter Of course, to have
seen the Editor Of the State Of Maine here,
and to have heard as refreshing q speech
from him as we heard him make in the
Wing State Convention, upon the enormi-
ties Of slavery, and the Legislation 1t had
induced. We assure our friend we never
heard our other friend, Wiley, talk more
eloquently on the subject Of slavery than
he did on that occasion, and We wish fur
ther to state, that when he was furnished
with copy Of the call for the convention,
and requested to sign it, that the sender
was not unmindful Of the fact that the plan
Of The convention had been sanctioned By
him, both by his concurrence in the resolve
passed by the Wing Convention, and by his
personal approval on the day the convention
was held, as it was also approved by many
others, who occupy, in common with him.
self, influential positions in the Wing ranks.
Really, our friend had as much to do with
The calling Of the convention us Mr.. vii.
ley, and we are inclined 10 think little
more, as his approval Of the plan preceded
MIR. Wiliey's. We are quite sure that he
draws largely upon his imagination, when
he supposcs that The nomination made was
brought abou, by any management Of MIR.
Wiley. We know not what Mr.. w. may
have written or thought upon The subject {;
but we do know that the men who compos.
ed the convention were able 10 make their
own arrangements. and did make them
without improper influence or dictation from
any quarter.
