over the American people, or why the
last ex,ravagan, Wells administration
should be restored.
The Democratic logic is this; No man
should sell any rum or champagne which
is no, frs, approved by democrats and
especially BY the Age. Burnham and
Jones have bough, and sold champagne
no, so approved. Therefore the demo.
cratic party is the hes, pariy-,hc mos;
patriotic par;y-,hc most liberal party
now in existence, and must succeed a,
the ensuing election. What close logic
Rum IS the premise, and the success Of
the mos, desPO;ic party in any State or
Nation the conclusion.

Look out for Fraudulent and
Spurious Votes.

We hear from good authority that the
tordrr ruiTan democrats IN this county are
up to their old tricks distributing mutilatad
tickets, containing portion OF the names
on the Republican ticket and the residue
Gll.i from their own. Tickets have already
been sen, into about every town, with the
name OF David Il. Hastings, substituted for
that OF John j. Perry, the remainder Of the
tickc; hcins entirely Republican. Other
ballots are out, with the name Of Alex X.
Bradley, FOR that Of VIM. W. Virgin, and
still others with the name OF John c. Gerry
instead Of Joseph +. Colby. We say to all
our Republican friends in every town. iooi
out for hps spurious rofa. Take with you
the Democrat. containing the names Of the
Republican nominees, compare them with
your ballo, before You east il. Don't be
defrAudcd and cheated by the border ruiz
ans in this way. Be sure your ,icke; is all
right before you put it into the ballot box.

$4,000 Added to the State Debt by
the last Democratic Administration
in Maine

Some years since the Constitution Of
Maine was amended 50 IA TO proven, the
legislature incurring \ debt Of moro than
$500 600 above the amount then funded
Five years after the restriction was placed
on the Legislature the pnrchase Of the
Massachusetts lands added $3.50 900 10 the
public debt, and le't a margin Of bat $50
900 for the Legislature to us, in any cmer-
gpncy. There was natural reluctance
with all parties to push the indebtedness OF
the State clear M TO the Constitutional
limit, for it was universally felt that In the
event Of any sudden exigency to the state
IL would he desirable for the Legislature to
have the power Of efrectins loan without
waiting - have the Constitution amended
TIE =. last Democratic Administration was
however not restrained by any such pruden.
till considerations, and accordingly among
its very fret act. was one to procure loan
of FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. That
loan procured, was added to the permanent
debt OF the State. and the people Of Maine
are to-day eaIed to pay the annual inter.
est Of three thousand dollars upon Ii. And
the democratic Administration Of Samuel
Wells thus plunged the State in debt FlF-
TY THOUSAND DOLLARS, left more
than SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS OF
warrants unpaid when II went out Of Office
all Of which have necessarily been met and
honored by the succeeding Republican Ad'
ministrations. Do the people OF Maine
dare to restore to power the men who when
last in Office. robbed them OF their substance

that such should be the case We fear
that many people resemble Sarah Limo
say and Christophena Georgeman.
Mr.. Lindsay, while on visit to Mr.
Farley had been much pleased with Fan
NY, and was very desirous that she should
accompany him home. Conscious Of the
principal defect in the character of his
daughter, he hoped that the example
strong mind and fine intellect Of Fanny
might prove beneficial to her. She was
quite too ready to judge from appearances,
and this, he knew, was a serious fault.
Aftor some deliberation, he planned the
scheme Of Fanny's appearing in eharao-
ter contrary to her own, and one calcula.
ted to try both the manners and principles
of Sarah To this his niece acceded, aud
the scheme was executed to his entire sat
isfactioIn Sarah admitted thats she had
judged too much by externals, and d SUI
perGcial observation. fef
Fanny Farleys visit WAS prolonged some
months Before its termination, she had
received several eligible offers of marriage
from those who had learned her worth
and appreciated her character. Alfred
Briggs was the favored one She satisfied
herself that he possessed that true nobii-
ity of heart, and uprightness, and inAexi-
bility of principle, that would constitute
q good husband. ts
! On his part, having obtained the appro-
baton of Mr., Lindsay and the consent
of Fanny, he soon followed the latter to
the elegant country seat of her father, who
favored his suit. Their union was happy.
Fanny was accomplished, talented and
amiable, and her devoted husband never
repented wedding the country cousin
