The Joint Senatorial and County Conven.

the Goth inst, took precisely the same
ground by UNANIMOUSLY adopting the follow.
ing resolution: '.E .' ....

And yet notwithstanding these explicit
declarations of Conventions qualified and
authorized to speak on the subject, we hear
the Bangor Journal, Age, &C., constantly
iterating and roitsrating that the Maine
Law" Is an issue and that the Republicans
make 1t SO. These papers know that they
are desperate LIARS. How studiously they
all work to keep the public attention divert

Gross Lies.
Tho Buchanan men say that Col. FRE-
MONT Is Roman Catholic, and that he is
STAKEHOLDER. These reports are gross and
infamous lies, known to be 50 by those who

THE STATE OF MAINE AND TIE
EXPOSITOR, the two ablest
papers in the State which opposed the Maine
law of 1876, and the law relating to the
Of Foreigners, expressly and
explicitly declare that THESE QUESTIONS
ARE NOT IN ISSUE in the present State
contest, and give their unreserred support to
TIAMLIN and the Republican
tickets for the Legislature and other officers.
These papers assert what is ABSOLUTE
LY TRUE that the State election is to be
the voice of Maine upon very grave ques-
tions of NATIONAL, not STATE policy.
That voice is for one of two diametrically
opposite courses of national policy-that of
Pierce and Buchanan backed by the entire
sectional pro-slavcry Power in the Slave
States, or that of the Philadelphia Platform
which is in its whole length and breadth, as
national and patriotic as tho Declaration OF
American Independence.
y Those organs and politicians who
falsely assert that the revival OF tho Maine
Law, or the naturalization Law, is the OBJ
iec. Of the Republican Party in this State,
are EITHER OPEN OR COVERT ADVO-
GATES OF, THE PIERCE BUCHANAN
party and Policy. '- lrr ,

~ The Infamous lie of the Portland Ar
