MORE LEeoMPToEIsM.--The Democratic
State Convention of Maine recently held, en-
dorsed the Buchanan administration, Lecomp.
ton swlndle, and all. Thus the Lecompton y ave
rolls on, just as did the Nebraska Kansas bill
wave, steadily swallowing up the party until
finally no man will be considered 'Democrat"
who does not subscribe and unrescrvedlv sub.
nit to Lecompton. For several months after
the passage OF the Nebraska Kansas BILL "Dem-
ocratic" conventions were in the habit of re-
solving that that bill was not test of "Delnoc.
racy. This was done for the purpose oil re.
tanning in the ranks of the party such members
as denounced that measure as unealled for, un.
just and corrupt. But soon the conventions Of
the party assumed different tone and no man
was recognized as a democrat" who would
not recognize that measure AS test of party
allegiance. So it will be with Lecompton.-
Soon no man viii b. recognized as Democrat"
who will hot bow down and worship this most
revolving OF all the pros slavery gods. Let all
honest men pause before they follow the party
further. Let them study lis onward march in
pro-siaveiy iniquity by ralying to It's defeat
What the party has done in Maine with bold
front, it has covertly done in Iowa, and every
blow struck for its ticket in this State, will be
a blow struck for Lecompton.-I Fairfield Led

with instructions to proceed at once to Laaoga

arriving at Ladoga, captured him and brough,

from his back-a bucket of warm tar poured
over his head, and bag offeathers artis,icallv

A more hideous looking object saws our in
