For ,he Union and Journal,

Mr.. CowAS IL have just been reading
the last number of your paper, which some
friend kindly forwarded. AS former ci,i-
zen Of your county, and one who has no,
lost all iuteres, in your Affairs, am RICH,
glad 10 learn that that noble old Roman
JOSHUA r. GIDDNGs and that younger, but
no less ,ruer soldier in the cause OF Cons,i-
tulional Liberty, ISRAEL WAsHBuRS, have
been among you, and addressed large bod
les Of your citizens. 1t is time for the peo-
pie 10 come together - and especially tho
people of your Congressional District, who
have been so outraged and disgraced by the
recen, conduc, Of The small scamp who mis-
represents you at Washington. Moses
Mcdonald, seldom do outrage my lips by
the ui,erance Of his name, and fear that i,
is almost a crime 10 blot !, upon homes, white
paper) has tuned the eyes Of the nation
toward the Firs, Congressional District Of
Maine. How that creature ever received
the votes of intelligent men, has always
been 10 me mystery. Te my eyes and
mind he has ever been, physically, in,ellec-
,ually aud morally, disgusting mons,rosiiy.
Aud he has betrayed his trust, and battered
himself, SO rumor says. for foreign ap.
poiniment. The buyer must have lost all
that he paid. Blu, there can be but one
wish in regard 10 The business, which is,
that the craven little licksp,lle may be sent
so far abroad, tina, he shall never again fnd
his way 10 New England.
And learn that The dough.faced Editor Of
the Democrat, and the two or three fnnkies
who control his columns, are defending
Mack's betrayal Of the interests and honor
of his constituents, and forcing their vernac.
ular upon you and The faithful men who are
endeavoring 10 rally The nation in this hour
Of its danger. A pretty figure is Hanscom
cutting before high heaven. A few years
ago al active and thoroush-going Abolition
island now believing for the men who
selI their own children in the SHAMELESS and
violate their plishied faith And all for
$500 worth Of advertising! And who says
the fellow did NJ, fetch all he Is worth.
The honest, inielligen, PEOPLE are getting
right on this question. Tens Of thousands
of the Democrats Of New England will stand
by the men who ha, @ stood up in Congress
agains, this Nebraskali,y-lhe grea, mass Of
the Wing party will stand with ,hem-and
the places that know your McDonalds and
billiards aud Ingersolls, will soon know them
no more forever. But you, Men Of Maine,
remember that all eyes are upon you.-
Do nj forget the motto Of the old Revolu-
Iionary hero, thrust in God, but keep
your powder dry"
A GENUINE DEMocRAr.
p. S.-There is rumor about in this re-
Sion tia, a few men in your section, who
style themselves National Wings, are abou,
starting newspaper for the especial pur-
pose OF opposing the Maine Law, and sus.
tanning the Fagitire Slars Lar, Why don't
they ,To, themselves out. It would be
fine sight abou, these times, 10 see half
dozen men marching about with banner
Of that sort. Let Is have the sight before
the Dog star RACES.
REMARKS,
The writer Of the foregoing speaks GU,
from a full heart. This will accoun, for the
warmth Of language he uses. II Is with
difficulty ,ha, we. ourselves, when we stop
to consider the unparalleled wickedness Of
the acts Of these Nebrasks democrats I'M
Congress from the free States, Can restrain
our pen from indiiing the contempt We feel
