Ellsworth, Friday, Feb. %, 1855
Approaching Town Meetings,


will be held, and il the American par,l
of Hancock county intend holding sth,
advantage gained over the enemies O
reform n, the September election, il i
now time for them to be making thei
preparations, All they need is thor
oush understanding with each other, ant
success wa surely crown their efforts
But TO remain idle, with full confidence
because Of their numbers, may result j,
il total defeat Therefore let the indus
trlous ones stir up the more sluggish, ant
let perfect, satisfactory programme u
proceedings be agreed upon. at least one
week before Nominations need no, be
made until the last moment; but the or.
der Of proceeding should be agreed upon
aud well understood by all.
We are led to throw out these sug.
ee,tions, from what we have reason &c
believe is being done by the enemy in
various paris Of the county. This enc
my, small as i, appeared in numbers at
'a,e las, election, is capable OF still exert.
ing powerful Influence, In their ranks
they hold the wealth and money inilu-
ence OF the county, with the lick.spl,,le
/ aud scum Of society TO do their dirty
work. Nor does this include all their
Influence. They are now engaged in
publishing paper, which. while it pre-.
,euds to be friendly to the American
cause, is one OF its most deadly foes
Were the Bangor Herald an openly
avowed enemy, there would no; be a
a ,housandsh part the danger to be ap.
pretended from its teaching.
As one OF the "wa,chmen upon the
towers, We warn the :friends of freedom,
OF temperance, the lovers Of our beloved
country and its free institution, tina, they
be no. deceieed. But no, agalns, ,hi.
parer alone have they cause for suspicious;
we know several arch hypocrites in this
village, fawning sycophant., unworthy
to be styled men, who are very busy in
representing themselves as Native Amer.
lcans, appearing to NANTES: great in.
tercst in the prosperity Of the party
Against the insidious wiles Of such per.
sons wonld We especially warn the hon.
est, hard working unsu,picious Amer.
can. or such let all beware, for they
can smile, and smile and stab and smile.
Like Judas, they will betray BY kl.s.
Blu, there are still other reasons why
the American party should be up and
doing in anticipation OF the Town cleo.
lions. Hitherto the old fogy Wings and
Wild Cats have opposed each other to
some extent, as we'll as oppose the Amer.
lean party. Blu, presen, appearances in.
dEa,e that they have buried the Ratchet,
smoked the pipe Of piece together, and
henceior,h their united efforts will be
directed against the common foe-the
American party. In Ellsworth the signs
Of such a coalition are uninistak able,
The zeal which they are manifesting, is
really deserving better cause. Their
mode OF procedure exhibits great Gun.
ming and shwredness. They have in a
yrea, measure ceased thei: open hostility
TO our party, and now appear before Us
in the guise of friendship. This is no,
TO be wondered at when we reflect who
they have had for teachers. Jesuitism
always fawns where it cannot control
bu, once clo.hed with the power, and
like a real coward, it will torture and
rack its victims, and gloat over their dy.
ing agony with kind Of fiendish de.
light.
1t is on account Of this new phase as.
sume1 BY the enemy, that We feel so de.
sirous about warning our friends agains,
ii. Remember our caution and AVOID
their Vaccinations. Select good men
for offse. aud then all go to the POLLS
DO your duty rs freemen. continue to
love your country and its free schools,
turn your backs upon Romish in,riguers,
oppose Jesuitism, hate slave ca,chers and
rum sellers, and depend upon it you will
have the answer Of good conscience.
