The Prospect.


Our democratic friends may depend upon il
the prospect Of the election of SAMUEL WELLS
by the people is MOST cHEERlSG. In certain
localities the change Of feeling regarding the
Morrill, party was early noticed, but it was
not known that il extended to any great de-
gree through the State. Late information
from all parts of the State present an aspect
very similar to that first noticed in certain To-
calities. Depend upon it political revolution
is in progress reaction is developing itself
which will not only prove astounding but over
whelmiug 10 Morrillism. Old Kennebec, the
home of the Read6eld magician, will deal out
to him heavy blow at the polls, Augusta,
Hallowell, Gardiner, Pittston, Chelsea and
Winthrop will show net loss TO Morrill, of
enc thousand votes from last year. Stick a
pin there, if you please. And Bath, and Sag
adahoc generally, if we are not greatly mis-
taken. will tell a story of very much the same
import.
At the recent meeting of the State Commit
zee in Bangor, the reports received from all
parts of the State, says member, were of
the most satisfactory and encouraging charac-
ter. They all point to the triumph of our
cause, in the election of SAMUEL WELLS by
an overwhelming majority.
A Somerset democrat says in the Spectator
that ''nothing can save the Morrill, party from
total defeat, and miserable one at that :
democrats never felt better than they now do
the enthusiasm of old times, when they went
on conquering and to conquer-the fixed de-
Termination 10 skill out" and annihilate ram
pant fanaticism and old party hacks, seems to
have taken firm hold of the minds of the can
did, thinking men of the State, and to say they
will not triumph, is simply foolish. Truth
must prevail over falsehood-righi over wrong
dishonesty must yield to honesty-and com
hination of men formed for no earthly purpose,
but public plumber, formed too, of men of ev-
cry conceivable shade of political character,
can never long stand up against the determi-
nation and VOTES of honorable and honest men.
Depend upon it, the days of Morrilism are
Rumbered-and that Hon. SAMUEL WELLS
Will De our next Governor.
The Belfast Journal says ssfrom every part
of the State we have the most cheering ac-
counts of the zeal, activity and confidence of
the democracy. 4 reliable democrat who
sends US IS names from Machias writes =
50 The democracy are wide awake, and this
fall we shall send you no such Geographic de-
spatches as last year introduced 10 you one
Mr. Milliken. The spell of the Hindoos is
broken, and our democratic friends are COM
ing back We shall undoubtedly elect our
senator's
From Thomaston friend writes that
THE best feeling prevails, and this part of
the State will make large gains from last year.
There is no mistake about it, though those
who got sold last year. don't like TO make
much talk about ii. We shall undoubtedly
elect our senatorial ticket, and as able a board
Of senators as ever any county in Maine.'
From Newport citizen writes that
"a 1t is mistake to suppose that the people
IN the interior are not so quick TO see the ras-
cality and hypocrisy of some of the Morrill,
leaders. We have a great many insurance
agents about, with reports of packed commit
sees of investigation on the Neal Dow shoot
ing; and also missionary society agents, who
are somehow all Hindoos themselves. We
want larger circulation of the documents.
The country is flooded with reports -of BOWS
committees in Portland"
'Fhe Journal also says of Waldo, that from
every town the intelligence is cheering-'sall
we need is zeal, and open, honorable, manly
work and WALDO is REDEEMED ~
We also notice in the Journal sirni6can,
paragraph in relation to Hancock, as follows
WE'LL DONE HANCOCK. Within the past
ten days, we have received three hundred sub
scribers from the county of Hancock. The
democracy of that county are of the right
stamp,-widc awake, and determined to rout
the enemy,-horse, foot and dragons, at the
coming election. We are in daily receipt OF
the most encouraging news from that quarter
Indeed, where such activity prevails among
the democracy, the result cannot be doubtful.
We predict glorious victory for the democ-
racy of Old Hancock on the second Monday Of
September.
