The Journal remarks that the gathering
was preceded by another of cognate character,
held at the same place, entitled the "Conven-
ton of the daughters of freedom composed
of women from different parts of the State
having the gift ofiongues, and marshalled by
very fine looking black fellow, called the
.Duke of Gloucester The decorations of
the hall were piece of cotton cloth, on which
was inscribed, in crude letters, "We, the la
dies of the An,i-Savery Society of the State
of Maine, are opposed TO the Nebraska bill. :"
Underneath, on a sort of apron, were the let
ters, ga. P. Morrill,
We gave in our last hrief description of
the operators in the Convention with an item
or two of their political history. We propose
TO go little further into the subject, with the
aid of our friend of the Bangor Journal.
Hon. Job Prince, temporary chairman of the
convention, is prominent candidate for the
Land Office, and wanted some of the State
printing.
The Secretaries were Mr.. Talbot of Far
mington, at Augusta, for the purpose of being
made Land Agent, and Judge Ludden of Ok
ford Probate Court, (who hopes shortly to be
made Judge of higher grade, under new
law, changing the judicial system.) A COM
mittee on resolutions was appointed, at the
head of which was DIR. Nourse of Bath, a
disappointed applicant for collector of customs,
under two democratic administrations, and
disciple OF the Maine Law, whose conversion
TO the law bears even date with his deseriion
of his political associates.
Mr.. Cowan, another actor, always hovers
about The Legislature, when the wind sets in
the right quarter, and now has an office in the
Legislature.
Mr.. Sayward, whose "conficts of con-
science" with party discipline during his edi-
torial career, justly entitle him to be ranked
among the saints militant, is now candidate
for an Office which shall heal the wounds re-
ceived during his struggles towards Canaan
and in fact, would be willing to take mostany
office that might "turn up,;-even The May
orally of Bangor, under "Sam."
Woodbury. Davis, one of the Committee on
Resolutions, is at last rewarded by holding
the keys of the Treasury of the State.
Mr. Lincoln of Hallowell, made a sort of
negative exposition of what he understood TO
be the character of one s' SAM Mr.. l.. more
than halt admitted that he had attended the
Grand Council of the Know Nothings, recent
ly held at Cincinnati. He denied that that
Council had undertaken to ignore the question
of slavery. He alluded to the fruits Of Know
Nothing victories all over the north, to show
that ''Sam" was good abolitionist; and said
that the fellow who in New York pretended
to be "Sam' and had plotted for the defeat of
Seward, was an imposter. He was perfectly
willing to subordinate Sam to the anti-slavery
sentiment, and wanted to have credit done Sam
for his real intentions.
This brought out a Mr.. Cram, Of Wilton,
who loves Sam's principles, but hates his
midnight ceremonies and secresies having, it
is said, been black-balled lie contended
stoutly against the Know Nothing organiza
ton. While Mr.. c. was in the middle of his
harangue, he was arrested by the voice of a
stentoran lunged X. N, who bawled out,
"What are you talking about - Mr.. Kent
smiled, the daughters of freedom Uttered, the
Sons of Sam, all over the House, set up an
uproarious clapping, and poor Cram, ''done
Brolcn.'' retired.
Mr.. Wiley, editor of the Portland Inquirer,
said he could not restrain the emotions of ioy
that filled his heart, in view of the triumph
to-day of his long cherished principles. Il
ieas the day for rclach prophets had sighed and
,cdtchmen ,,caited in rain. And now he felt as
ancient Simeon did, that he was willing to
die, for he had seen salration Such was the
sentiment of Wiley. And he was willing 10
forget the past, and forgive his present con-
federates for not coming earlier to the scratch,
and if they would only fight on in future with
fidelity to the great cause, he could serenely
overlook the fact that new recruits to the army
of abolition had come on to his platform and
crowded off old -stagersT-that new converts
had carried off the prize Of victory, and moth
ing was left for him, and his ancient comrades
but ''patriots' graves" "But this, 2 said he
"will do.'' This is a free rendering of a
speech, in which the song of triumph, the wall
of melancholy, and the voice of reproach
''fused'' with ludjcrous effect. He then went
