Mr.. Poor gave very interesting account Of

thusiasm with which the national nominations

Mr.. Simonton, II will be remembered, was the
law partner of Col. Smart, and was, until last
year, also his political partncrin the Democrat
ic ranks. lie came to the Democratic State
Convention in this city, and took part in Its
.proceedingS but having become Disguised with
the principles and proceedings Of that party,
e he dissolved the partnership and jeff the con-
Germ. This day he appeared as delegate In
the Republican State Convention. lie gave an
interesting account of his mental experiences,
and of the reasons which led him TO break his
connection with the sham Democracy. Hegaye
an apt illustration of the claims made by the
pro-slavery party to the title Of Democracy"
II was like the claim Of the boy to the jack
knife. lie said It was the same old knife, tho
II had received FIVE new handles and ten blades
since II was knife.
Mr.. 8. closed by saying that, like the follow
ers OF Abraham Of old, the Republicans Of
Maine were bound to prevail against both "Ma.
nasseh and Ephraim." They have beaten Ma.
nasseh two years in succession; and II Ephraim
is trottcd out this year, they will thrash him
also.
