Letter from Augusta, Ne.

The Democratic Convention, which was
held in thus city yesterday was certainly quite
respectable in its number and appearance,
and quite as harmonious and spirited as most
Democratic Conventions in the psilmy DAYS Of
the party. Although their prospects in the
State are very probably hopeless, l am in
clined to think they will make stronger
stand at the coming election than last year.
The liquor law is again in issue, and will
call out good many of the unterrified who
pretend to be dissatisfied with the mode ct
submitting the question Of prohibition to the
people. Mr.. Smiths speech of acceptance,
sketch of which You have given your read
ers, was rather more strongly marked by
party bitterness than by statesmanlike
breadth of thought, but it was spoken with
apparent honesty, and was well received by
the Convention
The last speech, by Marcellus Emery of
the Bangor Union for brutality and obscenity
exceeded all the speeches to which | have
ever listened, think the better part the
Convention were ashamed of it. These of
the editorial fraternity present felt outraged
by it, and so expressed hemselves-Bosfon

Maine Waking up to her True In
tereSt.

The course adopted by the present Republi-
can administration of Maine in providing for
the settlement of the public land has been SC
| tar successful that tide of enni grafton has
been setting to the Aroostook all the season,
and the present month of June has witnessed
larger openings made by telling trees than
DufJ.u and in some Of the townships in
that region every lot has been taken up and
improvements are going on.
The Land Agent, Noah Barker, ESD, ha.
recently made his quarterly report to the
Governor and Council now in session, stating
what he had done and what he has found
necessary, in recent visit TO the Aroostook
to have done in order that people may be
made acquainted with the extent and value
Of the land in that region.
An order has been passed. authorizing the
Land Agent to make and publish a large
plan of the Public Domain, including the
entire northern portion of the State, on a
scale which will give each township surface
of about four inches square, including
all the lakes, streams, rivers, public roads,
&c.
1t seems very desirable, so far as it can be
done that the slate quarries and iron deposits
in Piscataquis county should be laid down
upon this map, even although there has been
no thorough survey. The facts which are
known of quarries that are worked ought
certainly to appear. The settlement of the
public lands now going on is a good thing,
and an honor to the administration of the
State, but the unfolding the natural wealth
of Maine in slate and iron and marble and
free stone is matter Of at least equal i'm
portance as serving to diversity labor and
increase the means ofprohtable business.
The Land Agent has also been directed to
cause several new townships to be located. for
settlers.
The Aroostook county embraces an area of
one hundred and sixty-hve townships of six
miles square as stated in debate in the Legis-
lature last winter. This is an area about as
large as the whole Commonwealth Of Massa-
chusetts, and to have this whole region peo-
pied with an intelligent, thriving, prosperous
and happy people is now one of the great en-
terprises which attracts attention and secures
effort.-Kem.ebec Jcrrnal
