Hannibal Hamlin--His Public Record

In lS47 Hamlin voted in the United States
Senate for the slavery restriction CLAUSE in
the bill for the organization Of the Territor-
ial Government Of Oregon. - .,H
Not only did Mr.. Hamlin vote for the
slavery restriction, but he made noble and
eloquent speech, which may be found in the
Weekly Argus Of Feb. l6, ls47. The num-
Der Of tho Argus IL now before US, and from
1t we take the following extracts from Mr..
Hamlin's speech on that occasion: fr.

sent from Boston to Portland to facilitate
fraudulent voting" That paper says:
cit is the deliberate determination Of the
Republicans Of this city and vicinity, tc
prosecute every man who may be guilty Of
illegal voting at the coming election. Com.
mittees have been appointed to watch the
polls for that purpose. Special attention
will be paid to any one who may fraudu'
lently attempt to avail himself of any one
of the two hundred naturalization papers
sent to this city from Boston to facilitate
fraudulent voting"
The Republicans of this city have made a
similar determination. They will protect
to the utmost all who have legal right to
vote whether such vote with them or not,
but they will not SEQ their own rights in.

The Advertiser speaking of this contem-
plated fraud, says:
Such frauds Us this have given rise to the
strong feeling which has swept over our
country during the last two or three years.
Democratic politicians, who have planned
these frauds, have been chiefly responsible
for it. That feeling, but for these same
politicians, would now subside. But IL,

elections, 1t will revive 1t and fan It into a

Our Prospects Of Success.

We do not speak doubtingly, or for mer,
political effect, when we say, that glorious
victory awaits tho republican cause on Mon
day next. Did we doubt il we should bs
impuguing the intelligence Of the people
The people Of Maine are liberty-loying, and
we cannot doubt but the result Of the cleo
ton on Monday will show this. We know
very we'll that they have much to contend
with. They have arrayed against them oil
the influence of the various Custom Houses
on the coast, and no State Of equal proper
tons has 50 many all the Post Offices OF
any Importance, and all the State officials,
and in addition to these, our opponents have
had unlimited supplies Of money which they
have used, and will use, in most unscrupu-
lous manner.
We believe that the virtue of the people
will be proof against all these influences, and
that the right viii be sigually triumphant.
Tho fight has been an obstinate one on the
part Of the Office holders, and they will not
relax their grasp upon their places until the
last, but they arc doomed to be defeated
The wrongs in Kansas, for which the Bu-
chanan party aud the administration are di-
rcctly responsible, the violence Of the Slave
power at Washington, and it, determination
10 make free territory slave, have taken
strong hold upon the feelings Of the people,
and they will not fail to rcbuke this cruel

Grooming and Kissing. Last year when
the result Of the election was known, large
number Of our opponents were hardly civil
IN their dcmeanor towards tho defeat ed
party. Intoxicated with their success, or
something else, they forgot 'somewhat the
courtesics and dcccncics Of life and treated
their opponents with uncarthly groans. In
an especial manner we were honored in this
way. We have alluded to this for tho pur-
pose ofsayins, that II the Republicans are
victorious, as they are sure to be in this city,
andin the State, they will copy nobad exam
pies. They will not BE- unmindfal of the
fact that even their opponents will be bcne-
fitted by the victory; and while they may,
and will be jubilant, and cIult that the right
has triumphcd, they will remember not to
sully their own fair fame, or cast q shade
over the victory by indecent manifestations
Of triumph over their enemies. Their cheers
will DO glad onos, because they win come
from ihc heart, but they viii not return IN
kind the treatment which was bestowed on
them by the victors last year.

CAucrs IN SSCo. We learn that our
friends in Saco, had glorious caucus on
"Wednesday evening, to nominate candi-

to labor with unanimity and energy to pro-

popular verdict against il. Ifthere Is any
signi6cancy in the glorious triumphs Of the
Republicans in Iowa, and in VERMONT, 1t
means the people are awakened to sense eli
their danger and mean to avert it.
Our advices from other quarters Of the
State are Of the most encouraging character
Indeed we do not see how we can fail Of sue
cess. We have not heard Of the first place
where the republican cause will not make
large gains, and il was the advance party
last year. The young. and the old are tho
roughly aroused, and throughout the entire
ranks of the Republican party, there is that
unanmity, courage and warmth which is q
presage Of success. We bid the republican
army good cheer. Maine will lead the Ere
mont column on Monday next, and her lead
will be to victory in November. We say
what we believe when we state confidently
that in our judgement the people Of this
State will elect Hannibal Hamlin, Governor
a majority Of the State Legislature of the
faith, and Eve, ifnot the six, Re
publicans TO Congress.
The battle in this district is being warmly
contested, but if our friends work earnestly,
see that no vote to liberty is lost, our pres
ent popular Representative, Mr. Wood, will
be triumphantly reelected. And the same
earnest work will give us the County. We
feel that the work will be done.
We hold out no false hopes, or encourage
ment Of success which Is not well based,
when we say that our chances for success in
the County are flr greater than those Of our
opponents. We have watched the canvass
narrowly, and expect success. Yet our
friends must not have that confidence that
will lead them to slacken their efforts
Work Is NECESSARY. Pusu on THE COLUMN.
Every vote which can be obtained for liberty
should be obtained, and If this is done the
electric wires will carry on Monday night to
the friends of liberty in our sister States the
soul inspiring news that Maine counts her
majority for Liberty, Union and the Constr
tuiion for Fremont and Free Territory, not
by thousands but by tens of thousands.

U Speaking of II. II. Horns, Esq, the
Democratic nominee for Judge Of Probate,
in terms Of laudation, which so Gar rs il re-
lates to the personal demeanor Of Mr.. Hobbs
is concerned and his business capacities, we
most cheerfully concedc, though we claim
that equal praise may be given in all these
particulars to Mr.. Bourne, the Republican
candidate. The Democrat says:
On all State issues he was with us, dur
ing our last years struggle against Dow,
Peck. Weaver and Others, and voted for
Gov. Wells. On national issues, we are as
SUI cd beyond all cavil and doubt that he has
no sympathy with the reasonable doings Of
our black republican friends.
The same assurances may be given in re-
gard to the nominee for the Senate, Capt.
VIM. Lord Jr., Of Kennebunk.
Mr.. Hobbs undoubtedly voted for Gov.
Wells, but we are assured this is not the
fact in relation to Capt. Lord. Mr.. Lord,
it is well understood, has been, and we pre-
sumo is now, Maine Law man "of the
strictest Sect" and his selection is proof
positive that the Democratic leaders them
selves, though they tell the people that If
the republicans succeed the intensified Maine
Law will be revived, have ignored the Maine
Law, and do not consider il an issue in the
canvass. We have nothing to say against
Capt. Lord. We know him very well, and
we do but state the truth when we say that
he has always been persistent opposer Of
free soil and now when the sole issue is lib
erty or Slavery in the territories, he is IN
appropriate candidate for the party which
is willing to see principle prevail by
which the system of Slavery may be fixed
upon all the territories Of the United States.
