These two conventions were held, agree
ably 10 previous uolice, a, Alfred OH Tues

House, The Free Soil organizing in the lower
Hall aud The Morrill, convention in The up

ce,her, The two Conventions were composed
OF respectable number Of persons num-
boring between three and four hundred,
The Free Soil one being somewhat The most
numerous.
Soon after the organization Of The two

upon the people emana'ins from corrupt
and dangerous politicians, and supported

The Liberal CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION
The Hon. Sheppard Cary, 50 We are in
formed, will be here when the liberals hold
their convention to nominated candidate for
Congress, and will address the meeting, and
will speak IN the County during the remain
iny days OF the week. We should not be
surprised If the regulars '" in view Of the
desperate appearance OF their cause, should
solicit his company at their Congressional
Convention to be held the mkt day, and al
so invite him to attend their Senatorial
Convention which is 10 be held ut Alfred
the day AFTER that. This is our snrmisc, and
as it costs nothing but tho space it takes
in the paper We give 1t u'tcrance. We
charge nothing for the notices we give Of
The great variety conventions to be held
in the County this year. We advertise the
conventions, and not the principles which
either the liberal or the regular democ-
racy support.

Great Temperance Gathering.

Neal Dow,o Portland, on Sunday alter
noon ADDRESSED some twenty-five hundred or
more people in this place on the subject Of
Temperance. The gathering was in the
Ship-Yard Of the Messrs Perkins, and MIR.
Dow spoke from the steps ascending 10 the
deck Of one Of The vessels which are being
built in the yard. He spoke for nearly two
hours with uncommon power aud effect
We have never seen more attentive audi
ence, or listened to more direct and tell
ing speech on The subjcc. Of Temperance.
The people listened with almos, btea'hless
attention during the entire time he was
occupied in speaking, and seemed highly
gralilied with The eloquence and argument
OF the distinguished speaker. MIR Dow
vindicaled with unanswerabe force Of ar
gumenl the Maine Law from The dispersion
that its provisions were severe and viii
Giclive, land demonstrated the necessity Of
such law or sill stronger one, II The sale
OF liquors as beverage was continued
with power of illustration we have
hardly ever before heard equalled. Some
of his particular illusions 10 the position
which The people Of York had occupied as
whole in their Legislative capacity were
very severe, but truth cons'rans us 10 say
Justly so. Mr.. Dow took the ground tina
the safety OF the people required a law
which would stop the sale OF intoxicating
liquors, and tina, The Legislature in passing
The law acted upon the same principle
which had always been regarded in The
enactment Of all laws for the restraint OF
crimes OF the preservation OF society from
physical or mola diseases. Mr.. Dow is a
fluent and graceful speaker, and the init
mate knowledge which he has with The
sbuec, Of Temperance in all lis bearings,
and his connection with The. passage OF the
Maine Law, gives 10 his addresses great
interest. We think his address vas calcu.
cula,ed 10 do great good.

0y Many Of our readers in Saco and
Biddefold will notice with heartfelt regret,
that much respected and valuable fellow
citizen has gone out from among us, never
more 10 return. The subject of this allusion,
the late John Chadwick Esq of Saco, was
much esteemed and respected in the COM
munity in which he lived aud died. llisup-
right character gave him the respect and
confidence of his lellowmen, and his social
virtues endeared him 10 large circle of
friends. Few men ever approached neare;
to the standard Of what is regarded the good
citizen than did Mr.. Chadwick. He was
intelligent, conscientious and truthful, neg
lecting none Of the duties Of the citizen, and
practising all the virtues which dignity The
man. Unobtrusivc, and not ambitious, he
preferred the quiet enjoyment of n private
station, rather than the cares and burdens
Of public trusts. The only public office which
he held was that Of Treasurer, of the town
in which he lived, and the duties of this
Office he discharged for many years, leaving
it only when failing health admonishcd him
that he could no longer consent to renew its
burdens. Mr.. Chadwick subscribed for
our paper a, its commencement, and took
lit regularly until he died. We knew him
we'll and share largely in the feeling OF pub
lie loss which the community have sustained
by his death.
