To the Editor of the National Era:
Committees of Conference from the Free
Democratic, the Wing, and the Morrill, parties,
assembled to-day at South Paris, and, after a
days consultation, nominated General John j.
Perry for Representative to Congress for this
district. Gen. Perry is whole-hearted Anti
Slavery man.
The Morrill, party is the Maine Law portion
of the Democratic party, which seeded last
year, on the Maine Law issue.
The mass meeting at East Livermore, on the
4th, was the largest ever held in this State.
We were favored with one of Hon. John P.
Hsle's best speeches, and short address by
Prof Stowe, and the presence of Mrs H. b.
Stowe
The Free Democratic State Convention OF
Lewiston, on the 55h inst, was the largest and
most enthusiastic Convention ever held by the
party in this State. Hon. Arson P Morrill,,
the nominee of the Maine Law Democrats was
nominated for Governor, with great unanimi-
ty. Mr.. Morrill, is entirely reliable on all ques-
tons pertaining to Human Freedom.
Our delegation from this State to the next
Congress- will unquestionably be pledged to
the repeal of the Kansas Nebraska bill and
the Fugitive Slave enactment.
Yours for Freedom,
