The Portland Advertiser of June so. thus
answers the question propounded at the head
Of this article, as follows -
This 10 q question we'll calculated to pro-
yoke the inquiry Of the curious-even II 1t
has no especial interest to the masses
And II IL Q question whose answer does not
lie Immediately on the surface. II Is true,

We will neglect tho name, therefore, and
look at more substantial characteristics.-
In the first place, the body was not called
10 tho old regular whig style, and when II

The first speaker was Hon. Noah Smith,
j., OF Calais, who was called on by tho
President. Notes Of Mr. Smiths speech
were taken by a competent reporter, and
will be Published hereafter.
Mr.. Smith, By request, gave an account
Of The political position Of parties Of the
State for the past three or four years, COM
men,ing with great power upon the political
intrigues and wire-working Of the persons
who now assume to be par excellence pure

in which he disposed Of the prelensions OF
these Wings, was received with great salts

Poor, Farley, Sanborn & Co., was strictly
correct, as we know. We are glad that Mr..
Smith spoke "right out in meeting" and
told wha, he knew respecting the efforts OF
these men in lo5a, to form fusion with
the bunker Democracy, on the basis OF
electing John W. Dana United States Sen.
a,or, and their proposition Of" dividing the
spoils Z" Of the State Government between
the Hunker Democracy and the Hunker
Wings.
Amer Mr.. Smith had concluded his re-
marks the President called on Mr.. Cowan
for sentiment. Mr.. Cowan in reply said
tha, he was charged with the duty Of pre-.
pairing sentiments. bu, the press Of other
engagements had prevented him from any

hoped would be responded 10 by gentle

ienance and reject all ihe'sr,s Of political
demagogueism and chicaney. Almost q
his own door, insiisatsd BY unpdnciplsd
men. and sustained by venal press, there
has been, during The present month, most
wanion, uprovoked. and shameless riot, for
tho purpose Of destroying the Liquors pro-
cured In behalf OF tho city authorities for
medicinal and mechanical use. For tho
prosecution agains, tho Mayor which pre-
ceded il, there was no possible excuse. For
tho mob itself there could DO no justification.
Tho conduct Of Mr. Dow In tho sudden
emergency. using oil tho meass he could
command 10 maintain The supremacy OF tho
laws, was deserving Of the highest com.
mendaiion. All true men, instead Of throw.
ing obstacles In his way, should have raj
lied 10 bis support. But Judge Wells, from
whose house tho uproar Of tho riotsfs might
have been heard, stopped from his high po-
silion 10 head the call for gathering which
he knew could not be otherwise than Ia.
fiammsiory, and presided 1t tho meeting
in which the city authorities were con.
demned without hearing, and reviled in
Terms that might shame even the men
whom they designed 10 jus,ify,-a meeting
In which revolution and resistance 10 law
were openly proclaimed, and tho man
whom the citizens Of Portland have chosen
10 enforce the laws for their protection was
threatened with the furies OF another mob,

iemptiblo summons 10 resign his ofiice.
