er strength and popularity.
Go on then gentlemen, with your
abuse and faIsehood, the Republican
party fear not your impo,ent malice and
dare you 10 do your worst.
Let the journal denounce Stephen c.
Foster as fanatic, sectionalist and alb
olitionist,' letit pour forth its foul slime,
both on his pub lie and private character ::
at home whera ne is known as an honest.
kind hearted citizen. and true, faith
full Union loving man, it will do no
harm.
Let Mr.. Wiswell proclaim among the
honest sc,tlrrs OF Aroostook, that the

here. it will lose him ten votes where it
will gain one abroad.
The journal. unblushing as it is. dare
no. say that Stephen c. Foster is not a
liberty loving man; bat does assert tina,
his opponant sis sincerity in favor OF
Observation-Disclosures to the strict
est construction Of the Constitution
We would simply ask how man can
be in favor of freedom who publicly
svows himself in favor of the introduc-
ton of slaves into Maine. This is the
love Of liberty which so eminently char
actcrizes the candidate ofthc sham DEM
ocracy of this District. Again, we ask
did not this candidate say that the South
had the right to bring their Slaves to
Maine and keep them there: Let him
deny it if he can.
I If he is in favor Of freedom. i. is that
freedom which approves and allows a
Southern bully to knock down a de-
fenceless Senator
tits thai freedom which prompted his
cold selfish heart to give utterance TO
the words, "Sumner got wha, he deserv-
ed. l am glad of it,
In the free North, no man bows down
more abjectly, or ticks more puppyishly
the feet of his Southern masters, than
he. Fitting candidate to be successor
to Thomas Judas Doughface Fuller. A
man who at the North, at home, will
not stand up for the right and Freedom.
what can we expect when brought in
contact with the arrogant Slaveocrats of
the South. And we ask the voters of
this District, in all seriousness, if they
can trust the men who has uttered the
above ISLANDERS, and who has already
pledged himself to the extension of Sla-
very and violence, to represent them on
the floor Of Congress. Gladly would We
refrain from introducing private charac-
ter into this contest but when Mr..
Foster is stigmatzed as swindler and a
cheat, we may we'll be pardoned. Still
we will forbear but we warn you gen.
tlemen that if again you provoke us, you
will find there are blows to receive. as
well as to give.
We cannot afford to spend further
time on the Journal. but can afford "to
let the thing slide" applying to i. Ran
dolph's words, that sit shines and
and-and shines, like rotten mack
erel by moonlight
In conclusion, We ask the people of
Hancock, ,chen ana ,chat has Mr.. Wis
well done for the good of the County, or
town in which he resides? What enter.
prise, pnbic or private has ever engaged
his attention: What acts of benevo.
lence-what genrous deeds-what noble
pursuits have ever marked his character
Has he not from the day he irst set foot
in Ellsworth until the present time been
entirely, body and Soul, engaged in
self: Can you find, search the county
through a more thorough cold, selfish,
aristocratic man than he Is: And will
you, voters Of Hancock, intrust your
interests, your sentiments, and your no.
BILE love of the Union, of liberty, to be
represented by such man. Have you
not already bestowed upon him your
sufrages for officers too many times
