Piles. Our opponents are no more jolly
Than could have been expected, but we
say 10 them, laugh and be merry while yor
can, for your race is short; and we ieai
Your pain will not be one free from ihorns
To on, friends, we say, be Of good cheer.

LeiriSiOn Journal.
~ While the Portland Advertiser and
some others Of the Morrill, papers, own
their defeat with good grace, and even al
feet faceiionsness in its announcement, the
X. N. paper in this region oyeIflows with
bitter denunciaiion and abuse OF every man
who was active in efforts 10 elect the anti
Morrill, candidates. The Messrs. Haines,
Lane, Seaman, and many others, are re-
ierred 10 by name, and unmeasured abuse
heaped upon them, as well as upon the Bid
deloTd Association generally, for the prom.
inent part they have taken in the defeat oil
Morrill,. The result OF this election has
shown that the people of this county care
but very little for this kind Of slang and
its repetition since the election only demon
slrates the desperation and pueriliiy Of those
who resor, TO snch things.-DemOudt.
The DemOcga, does bu, justice in COUP
ling the names Of the two Haines's, Hon.
VIM. p. and Augustine, with the names OF
I. X. Lane and !. p. Seaman. They
worked most lovingly together during the
canvass, and they should be remembered
together in the hour Of victory and had
the Democrat, in its personal illusions, also
referred with equal satisfaction 10 the
names OF Rufus Small, Nathan Noble, and
L. d. Staples, as worthy cOadjutOrs and fcl-
low laborers with the Messrs. Haines, il
would have been still moe just. AS to
the matter Of denouncing and abusing
every man who was active in efforts 10 cleo,
Anti-Mouill candidates. eithe, befo;o or
after election, we have done no such thing.
In our last we referred 10 facts which we
are prepared 10 establish, If denied that the
corporation power here (LacCuia & Pepper
ell Co.'S was exerted 10 prevent the success
Of the Republican party. The Agents have
the right, and we cheerfally accord it 10
them, to exercise hei' oWn personal inau-
ence 10 promote the success OF he party to
which they are attached but when they
attempt 10 exercise, aud do exercise, the in
Aaence OF the position which they occupy
as heads of establishments breaihias only
by the will Of the people, and by diIect OF
indirect means, overswilg vote ;, and pre-.
venting freedom Of action, BY surrounding
the polls with their spies, oyersees
and clerks, and by eiusing 10 allow 10 the
comi,iee men Of the pa ty opposed 20 them,
fayOTS which they granite the committee
men oiihe party 10 which they ATE attached,
knowing Us VIC do tina, such conduct is
a res;raia, upon the riaht o: suffrage; we
shall speak Of j, with perfect freedom.
The charters granted by this State 10 the COT
po atoms, give no lish, 10 The chief, thereof
to cont oil the votes Of the operatives; End
the people Of his Sac will never suffer
the power OF cOypo,s;ious 10 be used, either
directly or indirectly, TO control elections,
withop, efforts 70 prevent the evil. There
has been a s CO, deal OF bitterness and per-
sona iiVeclive in he canvass in this Sec
ton, re haPs more than in any other quar-,
ts, Of the 5 ate. For this, the Democrat
and its il.ends a-e p operly charGcable. Eel
many weeks, and long before we felt con'
PEELED TO notice il, gross personality wa:
suffered 10 .pear in TIE columns Of the
Democ;a,. Again and again We were de-
nounced il the blaisit terms Of The black

the truth with freedom. We have no ,as,,
for personality or Iecrimination in poli'iel
canvass. In the rresea, instance, whil'
the Democrat has teered with slanderou
impu;aiions agains, the private character o
