Mr.. RoBT j. DILLON then proceeded TO road tho

portance of the elections the usriousness of Greene
c. Bronson; the purity of Wilson G.. Hunt; the de-
votion Of the Hard Shells to the Consultation, the
laws and the Union; their opposition to Pierces

OF the Administrations that the recent election
returns have written its condemnation; that II
has lost " the right arm Of even its purchased
strepgih"-the Free-Solers who were BETRAYED
by the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, while
the recognition of the dogma of popular SOW
ereigBty was too tardy to recall the for
feited confidence of the Democracy that Franklin
Pierce stands before the country the second Tyler

but in the pure cline of Republican Amerca-those
who and those who hope to be in the receipt of
"customs,' the holders and expectants of Office and
patronage who now compose the entire Pierce party
of the Stae that if the issue in the present canvass
test would be short and easy that to avoid defeat the
Pierce party have hedged behind local questions, and
If liquor carries them through they will claim it as an
Administration victory; that Hards must not be de-
ceived as they have national reputation to lose and
that the address talks in this wise:
But even upon the issue which the Wing and Pierce
parties seek to raise during the present CANVASS we
have nothing to conceal or to fear. The men who
dared to check expose and denounce the Federal Ad
mnstration have nothing to conceal upon any polit-
cal question whatever We deplore the evils of ill.,
temperance and admit with intense conviction that
they demand immediate remedy. The gallows, the
prison, the alms-hOuses are filled with its victims.
The press records its daily ravages with horror and
dsmay, and scarcely private family in the State but
sits in desOation over its progress What can be
done to abate decrease the evil This is domes-
tic question: coming home to every mans bosom, and
should never have been dragged into the arena of
party politics. The fanatics on the one sde under
the lead Of Myron Ii. Clark, propose the enactment
of the Maine Law, and the penal prohibition upon the
sale of liquor. The demagoguss under the lead of
Horatio Seymour, and supported by the owners Of
the disteries, breweries and groggeres throughout
the State propose free tradein rum We are opposed
TO both. We are opposed to the Maine Law because
1t is impraciicabe, and dangerous invasion by the
Government upon individual liberty. We are ep-
posed to unlicensed rumsellng because the Interests
of the State and the happiness of families demand
that temptation should not be sown broadcast over
the land scattering disease and death. we are In
favor of the rigid execution of existing laws, and Of
the indictment and punishment OF all officers who
fail to perform the duties which the laws enjon This
course will, in our judgment be fully sufficient to
arrest the evil. The nominees for Governor and
MAYOR are pledged to this duty, and will enforce the
laws and carry out the will of the people,
The address proceeds to say that
Greene G. Bronson is too well known to need either
description or eulogy His unsullied integrity, emf
nent ability decision Of character, and long LIE oil
devotion to the public service, command the admra-
tion of men. Wilson G. Hunt, our candidate for
Mayor is a man well qualified for the position; and
being friend TO the Compromise measures oil ls9o,
an oppopent of the present Administration, and Ma
tiopai Democrat, is emnently entitled TO your sup
port. We consider ii TO be no Disqualification that
Mr. Hunt has pledged himself, II elected, to admins
ter the affairs of the City without regard to party
and 10 devote himself impartisy to the public good
and the reform of existing abuses. The Democracy
asks nothing from public officers but the strict per.
Torrance of their duty and progress and reform nave
ever been the watchwords and object of our party
Opposed to him is Fernando Wood, who, by present.
ing himself as a candidate for public favor has here
tofore invited a scrutiny of his qualifications and
character. Upon that scrutiny ne was CONDEMNED
by the people. lie q candidate for the Mayoral-
~ in ls49 and upon full discussion OF his merits,
was defeated by an immense majority, running De-
hind his ticket. 1t may suit the Administration 10
elect such an individual to the Mayoralty, but II Is
for YOU 10 determine whether he possesses the quail
6caions YOU require for tina. distinguished office.
After fourishing peroration, the resolutions were
brought forward They that the Hards are opposed
10 the Maine Liquor Law, as mpractcable and fanat-
zeal; that they are generally opposed to free trade in
rum, or the unlicensed sale of liquors, and are in
favor of the due and rigid execution of existing laws,
as the best means to assuage the evils OF infemper-
ance that they are opposed to all secret societies. as
hostile TO the genius OF republican Institutions and
recognize no distinctions among fellow citizens aris'
ing from birth, sect or creed.
