from the vast audience, showing the popular
i.y which our Senator enjoys among the pso.
pie Of his native county. His speech was
hardly political, was not intended a. SUCH
but made torcspoud to the generous welcome
which he had received from tho people where
no was born and nurturod, and who have
stood by him with undated affection. Il
contained some Of the most beautiful and
touching passages We ever heard fall from
tho lips ofa public man. Ills allusions to
his carly associations, to the places where
his feet trod In boyhood and which had been
endeared to him by thousand pleasant
memories which time and absence could not
eiace, were touching and were listened to
with emotion such as Is seldom witnessed In
public assemblies. All that he said relating
to political topics was explicit and inshar-
mony with the other and main features Of
his speech.
At its close, his brother, Hon Elijah
Hamlin Of Bangor, was called. and after the
wide awskcs had poured forth three rousing
cheers for "Uncle Lige" made very happy
genial speech.
The gallant representative from the fifth
Congressional District, Mass, the fervid Bur.
lingamc, came next, and waslistencd to with
npt attention by the frcemen Of Oxford
Hon. Charles j. Gilman Of Brunswick was
next called for and spoke ably and eloquent
ly, principally on State matters showing the
Inconsistency Of the Democracy Of this State

was, awakening the greatest enthusiasm.-

cheers for the candidates.

BIDDEFoRD AWAKEI
Glorious Opening of the Campaign!i

The Republicans Of Biddetord opened the
campaign with glorious and enthusiastic meet
ing ut Union Hall on Monday evening. The
hall was filed, packed to overlooking, with q
throng Of true, earnest, thinking men, who had
come up with generous enthusiasm in their
hearts to ratify and do willing honor to the
nominations Of Lincoln. Hamlin and washburn,
and to listen with cordial sympathy to the prin-
ciples which these names embody, as they were
enuncated by men who knew them well, and
had stood by them long. 1t was pleasant
thing to mark the spirit, the animus, which
pervaded the people. Calm, convicted Of the
truth they sat. aud ever ready to respond to
true sentiment, q liberty-inspircd thought, with
hearty applause, or still more appreciativc
breathless attention. The speakers announced
were all there-Drummond, Dunnell, our own
Ressenden. well beloved, and the gallant, ar
dent Burlingsme And the people were there,
the intelligent voters of Biddeford, with faces
whose glow showed that truly their "hearts
did burn within them" as they heard the
praises Of Freedom and its champions, or fol-
lowed with honest scorn the pretensions Of the
weakened Democracy. and the heartless in
difference Of its leader, who cares not whether
right or wrong prevail, as they were laid bare
by the keen blade Of sarcasm and Of truth
Not the buster. the brag that cloaks coward
heart, but the deep, undying devotion to right,
the tender sympathy for the oppressed and the
bravery to stand by that sympathy, the digni-
ty and manliness Of labor mark our Northern
and such was the stauPof men that
filled Union Hall on Monday night. and such
is the character of the troops every where that

The meeting was called to order by Leonard
Andrews, Esq, who nominated John Tuck,
ESQ, rs chairman. Mr.. Tuck. on taking the
chair, made . few brief and well chosen se-
marks, and introduced to the audience the Hon.
Josiah II. Drummond, who spoke pcrtinently,
logically and with telling effect. He was inter-
rupted In the course Of his remarks by the en-
trance Of Msssrs. fessenden and Burlingame,
who received most rapturous welcome, the
audience rising and cheering heartily. Mr..
Drummond made graceful allusion 10 his
happy interruption. and resumed his Argument
at some length. He was listened to with Close
attention. his. hearers frequently tsstiHing
their approval by applause. He compared his
speech TO the plato Of soup which prsesdes .

The County Convention. It's Nominees.

We congratulate our Republican friends in
the county Of York on the suspicious circum-
stances under which they commence the can
yass for the triumph Of Republican princi-
pies in the county. In every quarter Of the
county, 50 far as We are enabled to learn, there
exists Q strong and earnest determination to Sc
cure the ascendency Of the Republican cause
In devotion to the cause, and In earnest desire
to secure its triumph, the Republicans Of York
are not surpassed by their political friends in
any section Of the State, and in compact, efiec-
tive work to promote Republican principles
they do not mean to be surpassed By any other
quarter Of the State.
The Convention held at Alfred on Thursday
Of last week. Q brief notice Of which appeared
In our last, was one Of the most satisfactory in
all respects that the Republicans ever held in
the county. Notwithstanding the rain, the at
tendance was large, every town Was represen-
ted by full delegations. and there was large
number. besides the delegates, present from Va.
rious sections to testify by their presence and
real the interest they feel for the success Of the
Republican ticket. The delegations from the
southwestern towns and their friends, were ac-
eompanied by the South Berwick Band, and
the music they discoursei contributed not n lit
tie to the general pleasantness Of the conyen-
ton. As We mentioned las, week, the ticket
presented is an unusually strong one, and the
harmonious manner in which the selection.
were made win be hailed by the Republicans Of
the county rs snsomen OF that success which
they will secure by effort when the election
takes place. Considering that in most cases,
under the usages Of the party, new candidates
were to be taken and that naturally the friends
Of different individuals would be anxious for
the nomination Of their flvorites, IL Is quite
surprising the convention should have passed
away without leaving some cause for regret or
complaint. We heard not word indicating
either.
We publish to-day the proceedings. by which
our friends viii see that every nomination Was
made on the FIRST ballot. and in some cases BY
vote uearlysnsnimous. Theindividuals pre-
sented for :he Senate, although new men. - fAr

known to the Republicans Of the county. and
