Our Republican friend. in Maine are
sighting noble battle. They DO no, stand
inactive, resting on their arms, waiting for
the emergency to attack, but they occupy
an ogcrars position and with much 'igor
are carrying the war into Africa" This
is jus, as il should be. We have had in
our State an unusual number Of large meet

completely calculated TO produce this result.
To give interest to these great occasions and
satisfy the reasonable demands Of tho peo'
pie. eminent speakers from abroad have Wis
TIED US. Highly useful a. are these meet
iugs. they are no, all the means required TO

and hypocrisy Of our pOlii-
ieal opponents. There are impor,an, details

but in meetings for political discussion. We
have a useful end to accomplish by our biz
and yet an equally uscIcl one
by comparatively smaller ones. In orcry

tuition should gather themselves together 10
take counsel upon public matters; and
more than this. wherever II is practicable
School District meetings should b. holden
for the same laudablc purpose. There need
BE- no trouble about speakers. We have
men belonging to our party in almost every

Our Representative Districts.

The way TO secure harmonious action at
the polls. is to leave the people perfectly
free" to make their own nominations.
When a nomination il 10 be made, let there
be full and ample notice to all interested /;
then let the people turn out and agree upon
the men they desire for their standard bear
ers. When this is fairly done, there is but
little danger as TO the result. We can car.
~ every Representative dis,ric, in this
county il our friends are jldleious, pru-
dent and energetic. We beg OF them to
settle all conflicting claims among men and
about men at their caueusss, 30 that when
they come to the polls they can all act in
harmony. II there have been difficulties in
times past let them be forgotten. We
should all remember that the Cause 10 above
men, that men when put in the balance
against principle are nothing. Another
thing, Republicans should be willing in
al cases 10 coneede something for the sake
u harmony. If wc have special friend.
and desire their promotion. i, Is RICH, for US
TO urge their claims before nominations, but
we should do it in proper split, and then
il the majority are against Us, upon a fair
expression OF the popular uiR, then should
we b. willing to fall in aud supper, the
candidate selected.
Let ua'oa dad harmony be written upon
all our banners. Every thing for the cause
aud nothing for men. Keep in visw that
good old maxim "Uhited we stand, divided
We fall"
