The Campaign Opened.

The campaign is now opened, and the ball
set in motion. The several parties have DOW

yes of the people OF this State at the owning

And what does Arson F. Morrill, represent

total Of the principles and practices Of The pres

again to submit to such an administration Of
our government Shall our State the coming
year be shrouded in the black mantle Of fusioa-

legitimate sovereigns of our republic rise in
their strength and proclaim liberty to a now
hampered populace Anii-republcanism, an
ti-democracy, anti-common sense, has been
the order Of the day for the past twelve months
and shall we longer submit TO such system
Of demagoguism. On the second Monday of
September next, the answer will emPhatically
be NO! Too long already have we submitted
TO the overbearing and blighting rule of such
,an administration. Too long has The darkness
Of treacherons political despOtism hung like
cloud over our heads, and threatened our lib
critics and our lives. Arson P. Morrill, is the
exponent of what Why, Of anybody or any
thing that promises to elevate him to Office =
Office is his theme from early dawn to dewy
eve. Office, and nothing but Office, will salts

to build up smart city one of these days.
Waterville will find rival nearer home than
Augusta then.
This excursion proved pleasant to all con-
cerned 1t afforded social interview between
the dwellefs of the lower and upper Kennebec,
and exhibited the attractive points of one Of
the best railroads in Maine. Very few new
roads can compare with the Somerset in other
respects than in the unmatched natural scenery
exhibited. tits one of the best built roads in
New England, and though opened for travel
only few weeks ago, it has all the perfect
ness and travelling-ease Of oldeS roads. The
people Of your city have an interest here
which may prove immensely advantageous.
The Somerset road will give their winter port
a chain of communication sixty miles into the
interior of the State. Would not this in your
city ten years ago, have been deemed con-
summation greatly to be desired! -
Eastern times. [volume] (Bath, Me.) 1846-1857, 1855-07-19
Assault on the Judiciary.

The Bath Tribune, speaking of the recent
decision Of the Supreme Court in respect to the
jurisdiction Of Justices of the Peace and NUM-
cipal Courts over Liquor cases under the new
liquor law, remarks as follows:
!" Yet we advise the friends of the law not
to despair of Its execution. In the first place,
IL is to be remembered that some Of the Jsdgss'
commissions tciH expire during the gear. And
ii as scarcely possible that such decision can
stand after the place of one of the Judges iUho
conctrred in that opinion shall hare been filed
By one UhO ,oouM Be ola different opinion. -
So the last barrier between Maine law fanat-
cism and the Constitution, is to be assaulted
and broken down, by placing upon the Su-
preme Bench, men who will decide in favor Of
the validity Of the ultra Legislation on the
liquor question, right or wrong, constitutional
or unconstitutional. And the seat occupied by
the able, learned and independent Chief JUS
tice, is TO be filled with tool of the Dowites,
because the present incumbent is too honest aud
upright to pervert justice and prostitute the lu-
dicial ermine 10 further base Partlzan enos.-
Ii is not denied, in any quarter, thai the oohox-
ious decision was right and entlreiy In accord
ance with the rules Of the judicial Interpretation
of statutory enactmeuts but this does not help
the matter at all. Right, constitutional and
proper decisions are not what are wanted BY
The Iiquor-law crusaders. They want decis-
ions in favor of their crazy Legislation, right or
wrong. constitutional or unconstitutional
And what is more, they mean to prostitute the
Judiciary TO their purposes, if the people are
foolish enough TO keep them in power. They
mean to fill the Supreme Court with men who
will be Of a different opinion, from the pres
ent justices-or in other words, who Will de-
eide, not according 10 law and constitution, out
according to the mandates OF the fusion Leaders,
Eastern times. [volume] (Bath, Me.) 1846-1857, 1855-07-19
Retraction.

The Portland Advertiser having spoken con-
temptuously OF the gentlemen whose names
were appended to the call for .Whig Caucus
in Portland, who comprise the most respecta-
Bile and influential men in that city, in Thurs
days issue makes the following retraciion -
We find that our article of Monday last
has given offence to several gentlemen whose
names were upon the call for caucus, to Sc
lect delegates for The Wing State Convention
We are sorry 10 learn this fact, for, while there
are persons whose names are found upon that
call, for whose opinions we do not care straw,
there are others for whom we have ever enter
tanned the highest respect, not unmixed with
much personal regard, both of which senti-
ments have not wanted all reasonable exhibit
ton on our part, upon all proper occasions
These feelings have induced US TO re-examine
the article, and, in all frankness, we admit
that the phraseology was not, in all respects,
such as, upon careful reflection, we ourselves
would approve at this moment, while one of the
leading ideas, when applied to the men refer
red To, would be unjust and offensive. Our
apology must be too great haste, coupled, we
confess, with want Of proper discrimination
between individuals"
Eastern times. [volume] (Bath, Me.) 1846-1857, 1855-07-19
The True Issue.

The democratic party, as was expected, is
denominated and denounced as.the Rum PAR
TY, by the fusion presses, all over the State.
ms, to be sure, is nothing new-f0r 1t was
so during the two last campaigns, when they
entirely ignored the temperance question, as an
element OF party poitics-but now being
forced by the action of the fusion party, 10
take ground upon that question: in order to
save the State from state of terrorism and
anarchy, they have met the issue, and passed
resolves, defining their position upon that
question.
That position is such as the exigencies of
the present time demand, and we believe is in
accordance with the popular sentiment of the
State, as well as every true hearted temper
ance man, who has that cause more at heart
than his own political agrandizement.
Nevertheless, the fusion press loudly reit-
crate the stale cry of the Rum PARTY, and are
vainly attempting to make the public believe
that the democratic party are making war with
all temperance laws-having in view the re-
strictlon of the sale OF Intoxicating liquors.
ms Is not so. The democrats make no such
issue-and this is well known by the fusion
lists themselves-and this cry is made by them
TO divert the attention Of the people from the
true issue, and thereby set up false one-but
We OpluO hhob oil huO hCdhtCQ tCulpOIdlCe men
will see through the veil of hypocrisy, which
is thrown over the fusion party in respect to
the temperance question.
The democratic party, as expressed in one
of their resolutions, @ are opposed to the unre-
stricted sale of intoxicating liquors, and in ia
vor of suitable prohibitory laws, at the
same time declare in Savor Of an essential mod
iication Of the present intensified liquor law,
SO as to make it more in accordance with the
letter and spirit of the Constitution, so that
the people shall be secure in their persons,
houses, and possessions, from all unreasonable
searches and seizures" and " SO that all pen
alties and punishments shall be propor;ionate
TO the offence" so that excessive bail shall
not be required, nor excessive fines imposed,
nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
The issue is not that of repeal of all exist
ing prohibitory laws, but modification of the
present intensified liquor law, such as shall
make it more in accordance with public senti-
ment-such law as shall commend itself to
the better judgment of all sound and reliable
temperance men-a law that shall not be sub
ject TO annual change, to suit the whims and
caprices Of fanatics, and made to subserve their
base political ends.-Somerset Spectator.
Eastern times. [volume] (Bath, Me.) 1846-1857, 1855-07-19
The " Rum " Party.

The opponents of the democracy seem 70
have their organs set to the tune they are tn
play during the campaign. The game is to
brighten respectable democrats by the cry Of
Z" the rum party This cry is already
raised by several fusion presses, and especially
by Mr.. Carter of the Portland Advertiser.
who becomes quite loud in deuouncing
Judge Wells as the rum candidate. Now.
does the editor think that the known life Of
Judge Wells, his sobriety and high moral DO
stion, are TO be affected by such twaddle j.
Why, It has come to be quite respectable to
belong TO the " rum party" since SO many Of
the apostles of the fusion are so notoriously
wine-bibbers. To say that man opposes the
present intensified liquor law, is almost equiv
alent 10 saying that he is a temperance man in
practice. We can tell these gentlemen, that
the people have come to see difference be-
tween the Maine law and temperance. They
see that moral question becomes degraded by
being thrust into politics, and that there is
such thing as enacting a law ostensibly to
suppress the liquor traffic, which is yet an in
temperate law. Such an one they find the
present lame and impoient law. Ii has come
TO a strange pass, indeed, if such men as
Judge Wells, Lot NJ. Morrill,, and scores of
our best iurists and best men, cannot express
an opinion about liquor law,-its bearings
and its legal points, without becoming rum
men, as Henry Carter and Elder Peck would
call Them We can tell gentlemen that this
sort of CANNON won't work this year. This
charge of being 90 rum party " the democra-
cYAf Maine pass by them as the idle wind,
which they respect not.-Reptlbiican Journal.
