The ProSpect.


The game Of "brag'' is played at a great
rate by the opposition in Maine. 1t is an old
and favorite game with the opponents of the
democratic party. But fortunately, we hear
very little of it after election. Boosting and
bravado are the great arguments now of the
wings and abolitionists. Morrill,, say they,
will be elected by the people. We shall see.
The following extracts tell different story:
The Belfast Republican Journal says -
(" In the present contest in our own State,
he must be a timid man who loses heart at
the boasting of, our opponents. We have on
ly steadily to pursue the object, and Hon. AL
BIoN X. PARIS will be the next governor Of
Maine. The boast that Morrill, will be elect
ed by the people is mere bravado. He stands
no more chance Of that than his co-laboror at
the other end Of the disorganization yoke,
Shep Cary, does. And in the legislature we
shall be unquestionably better off than last
year. From this county alone three coali
tionists got struggled into the Legislature by
the aid of DEMOCRATS who were cheated. The
next time the democracy will know who they
are voting tor. Besides, the wings associated
with the present state administration will not
enter the coalition unless they prefer to have
their necks wrung by the irate Morrill, and in
the operation lose the last vestige of party
identity. Thus the democracy have not only
every incentive Of duty, but the best-founded
hopes Of SUCCESSIVE stimulate them to action"
The Lincoln Democrat says
"We are happy to learn that there is
good prospect of reconciling different sections
of the democratic party in Waldo"
The Norway Advertiser says -
Almost every day, do we, hear the most
encouraging reports from every section of this
county. of the prospects of democracy. The
| opposition are very. much dissatisfied.
The Belfast FrcesPress Says:
We hear no Boosting by the opposition Of
carrying this congressional district of late
A return to the system of county nominations
is 10 send, and provisions for giving each
county their share of representation, is all
that is necessary TO put us into the sroad to
success"
We copy the following paragraphs from the
Age: st
WALDO. The existing prospect Of resto-
ration of harmony among the Democracy of
Waldo, TO an extent sufficient at least to en-
sure the election Of the democratic senatorial
ticket, has thrown our wing friends into the
greatest trepidaiion. They call on their al
lies, the freesoil and Morrill, men, in that
county, TO cooperate with them in taking ac-
tive and immediate measures TO prevent so
great catastrophe to whiggery for they
seem to concede that Waldo is the battle
ground of the State, and that if that county
goes for Paris, he will be elected. But their
efforts will be of no avail. Waldo is demo-
cratic TO the core; and the coalition forces in
that county will be unable to shake her de-
mocracy. She will, we have every conf
dence, be found true to the democratic banner
in September, yea, more, she will be found
gloriously victorious under it.
PENoBscoT CONGRESSIONAL DIsTRlcT.-
The Bangor Democrat contains call for a
convention of the democracy of the fifth con-
gressnnal district, to be held at Exeter on the
23d OF August, TO nominate a candidate for
representative TO Congress from that district .
The call is signed by the committees of the
two divisions ofthe' democratic party which ex-
is;ed in 1882 This is a good omen. It
Jocks like a thorough reunion Of the democ-
racy ofthat districts WHICH has only to be unit
ed to Be triumphant,
