Dare not Meet the Issue.

The Portland (Mc.) Aryus says the
Republicans dare not meet the issues
rendered them by the Democracy.
Notwithstanding the frequent calls
made upon them by the Democracy,
they dodge the question. Instead OF
strengthening their cause, this silence
upon the great issue of the day is doing
them inca'culaLle injury. In proof OF
this, the Argus publishes the following
extract of communication from a
prominent Republican:
=" have been a Republican ever since the
Republican party was organized = never a

GErrIso ALARnEp.-The Republican
papers all over the State hsve simultan-
eously turned their guns sgainst Bell
and Everett men, from which We infer
that they are looming up. The Repub-
Iicans imagined that they had absorbed
or crushed the conservative element OF
Oppos ton, and have suddenly discover
ed their mistake-hence this discharge
of field pieces and small arms all along
the line. The Bell men are expected
to quake in their shoes at all this thunder,
and allow themselves to be scourged in-
to submission. But they don't appear to
be bit alarmed. They continue to
hold meetings and recruit their rAnks
right in the face Of the cnragrd Repub-
l'cans. II they continue to make such
rapid progress it will be question be-
fore November whether Lincoln or Bell
