is one of the truest democrats, one of the best
men Maine can produce. He is old sol
der in the democratic ranks-has fought well
and endured wel-has been and will be again
one of the most popular Governors-possesses
character as a CITIZEN, as a MoRALIsT, as a
CHRISTIAN, of the very highest rank and de-
servedness-in short, ALBION X. PARIS is
in every way qualified, in his political history
and political principles, in the high order Of
his talents, in his sterling virtues and exalted
PATRIOTISM, to occupy the Gubernatorial
Chair of the State Of Maine for the year 1855.
DEMOCRATS, WILL YoU DO YOUR DUTY AT
THE POLLS!
In these days, when candidates for Office
rise up in every corner Of the State, ard the
cry is, give, give us your votes, the Demo
cratic Party of Maine present for the suffrages
of the People, the name of a man who does
not ask for the office, who accepts the nomi-
nation as a candidate fnr Governor on no sell
fish or personal ground. ALpIoN x. PARIS
accepts the nomination. not because he asked
for or desired it, but because it appeared to be
the UNANIMOUS DESIRE OF THE Democratic
PARTY Mark then, that our candidate hav-
ing made the sacrifice, leaves the question of
his election ENTIRELY WITH HIS FRIENDS.
We have called him to occupy his present po-
sition against his wishes. He consented only
when it appeared that the good Of the party
and hence the best good of the State, demand
ed it-and now, Democrats Of Maine, WILL
YOU NOT DO YOUR DUTY!
Democrats, turn your eyes upon the pic
ture of whiggery, free soilism and Morrillism
rampant in the State. See the bargaining for
Office made under the pious plea of principle
-see fanatics whose political history and
falsehoods, whose abuse and defamation of
honest democrats, have stood as libels upon
community, read of all men and therefore,
ton Of canting hypocrites for Congress, and
the throwing overheard of straight forward,
honest men-see a candidate for Governor
stamping it to deceive the people with cum
ming words of regard for principle, and then
hugging every ism and faction that promises
influence or votes-see the worn out ''Mane
law used as the great salvation plea for the
State at one time, and now dropped because
no longer available for excitement and hum
bug arguments-see the notorious Wiley, of
the abolition Inquirer, and the fulfilled and
comedy Carter, the great wing champion, of
the Portland Advertiser, now occupying the
Same "bed and board," and trading in offices
with ''horse-jocky" shrewdness as TO merits
and points-see the bargains made ''last win
ter'' ratified this fall-see outside of all this
political iniquity, dark as the shade Of hades,
pTotestations of pious regard for principle,
love Of country and the poor negro, and then
say, Democrats of Maine, will you not stand
fast TO your integrity and WELD the invincibIe
power of Democracy, that has saved the coun-
try from the ruinous res ults Of fanatacism in
other days, for the PROTECTION AND NATION
Atty OF THE STATE in these days Of evil
things. YOU WILL COME TO THE
RESCUE!
Above the din Of the noise made by the en-
emy in their reckless attempts to make
breach in the ranks of the Democracy, we
hear voice firm and strong. 1t says, Demo-
Gratis, STAND YOUR GROUND. The Democratic
Party of Maine NEVER STOOD FIRMER, STRONG
Err THAN TO-DAY. Il is rid of the Benedict
Arnolds-the scum and chafl that adhered in
the day of great victory. 1t has passed
through the fire, and though somewhat re-
duced in numbers, the ranks are closing up,
the old fire of victory is reminding. In
Maine we have been beaten but it will prove
only the precursor Of renewed victories.
ON MONDAY NEXT
Let us demonstrate our attachment to the
glorious old party which conquered under
JEFFERSON and JACKSON and PIERCE. the OIL,
party Of true nationality and progress, BY piv-
ing to
ALBION X. PARIS,
A REAL oLD-FAsHIoNED DEMOCRATIC AND
A ROUSING VOTE!
