wThc Democrat, appealing to the "Elec-
tors of Maine," in the number issued on the
Saturday before the election, in advance OF
its regular issue, asked these questions:
"You now have before you tho results Of
SIX MONTHS OF REruBLICANIsM. Are they
what you expected? DO they meet your ap-
prevail? Judging from the past, are you
willing to trust that party Tor the future ~
The affirmative answers the ELECTORS of
Maine" have given to these anxious queries
Of traitor are contained lin the election TO
turns. They are emphatic enough to satisfy
even those who have been laboring for trca-
son, and are suspected OF being IN the pay OF
the rebels. We advise the Democrat to stop
the publication OF its paper in this commun-
ity and go South. where its labors in behalf
of rebellion might be better appreciated than
they seem to have been in this county.

CONSOLIDATION AT TIE SouTu.-The Louis
vile Journal, referring to Mr.. Russell'sstate-
ment as to the southern desire for an essential
change Of government, quotes from speech
made by Governor Brown of Georgia on the
Cd inst, as reported in the Augusta ga
Chronicle and Sentinel. Governor Brown
was disbanding brigade, respecting which
lie had had some differences with the Rich
mond authorities.
Reviewing the affair he said that he feared
that at the end Of this contest the battle OF
State sovereignty, fought in l77C, would
have to DO fought over again, and then
added
eve have now as then two classes ofstates-
men, each sustained by many followers
The one class DESTROYS of strong central
government, probably prelerring, IL they did
not fear to risk an ayowal Of their sentiments,
q limited monarchy similar to that of Great
Britain, or other form ofgovernment which
will accomplish the same object under u diff
ltrent name, inc Otner Class uesiriHg anu au-
yocating the democratic form established by
the patriots Of l77G, retaining to the States
their sovereignty, aud delegating to tho
general government only such powers rs are
necessary to transact their foreign affairs as
a confederation of States, and such internal
affairs as cannot be conducted by single
State confederated with sister States.
ale warned the people Of Georgia and of
the South to watch with q jealous eye, and
to oppose with determined hostility every
effort, whether by construction or by bold
usurpation Of powers, which may be made
by those in authority, or by those seeking
position. to consolidate the power of the pco-
pie in the hands OF the few, or to destroy
State sovereignty and build upon its ruins
either monarchy or a consolidated aristoc-
racy.'
Even Mr.. Russell in his famous letter said
no more than that he found class of men
sustained by many followers, who preferred
"a limited monarchy similar to that of Great
Britain.

Camo Home to Vote.

Tho Biddeiord Artillery, Capt. Ira An
drews, stationed at Fort McCleary. Kit,ery,
came home in body, accompanied by the
Portsmouth Band, in the noon train on Mon
day, permission having been given them by
the State authorities to come here and vote
if they chose. They were received by the
several FIRE companies in good shape, and es-
cOrted to the square, when the company
"broke ranks" and the members dispersed
to the respective wards in which they had
their residence, and voted for the Union and
the Constitution. In the afternoon the COM
pany came together and gave an exhibition
Of the advancement they had made in mill
tary drilling during their absence, very much
to the qualification Of u large number of our
citizens who We're present. In the evening
there was ball and concert in the City
Hall, given to the company, which we learn
was an agreeable affair. The Portsmouth
Band, by the gentlemanly behavior Of its
members, and the proficiency they exhibited
in musical matters, elected the praise Of all.
The company returned to their post at the
fort by the morning train on Tuesday.

Peace is Treason.

II cannot be too distinctly understood that
PEACE in these times means nothing more
or less than TREASON. The Constitution OF
the United States defines treason to consist
in "giying MD and comfort y to Its enemies
and who no advocates peace is doing that IN
the most efIectual manner possible. lie pro.
nounccs precisely what the secessionists call
for. "All that We ask" JEFF. Davis has
proclaimed, sis to be let alone. And wei
did he say 10. To let him alone is to ac-
ouierce In his treason. and confirm him in
the enjoyment of all its fruits. His crime Is
fully contaminated, and he has nothing
more u gaiE. He is like the pirate who
has carried the ship and seized the booty;
nothing can suit him better than to be lett
TO himself. The sailor who should urge such
n concession to the pirate would be ut once
set down rs no better than q pirate himself
ut heart. So, we say, is he practically
traitor, who goes for acquiescence in Jef.
Davis treason.
Nobody pretends that the confederate
government will consent to any peace which
does not recognize its existence and its indie
pendencc. Nobody presumes even that this
spurious concern will put its pretensions in
abeyancc long enough to join with the loyal
states in n national convention, called in con-
formity with the Federal Constitution, and
pledge itself to abide by the determination
OF such constitutional body. Nothing OF
this kind Is now dreamed of.
The excuse put forward for advocating
peace, Is that war will not restore the Union,
and that all the treasure and blood must
therefore 20 for naught. This plea Is worth
less. No man, at this stage OF the contest,
has right to assume that the government
lacks the power to put this rebellion down.
The trial has but just begun, and everything
indicates that IL the government II rightly
supported by the people that still profess
loyalty, Its authority will be fully re-cstab-
lished. The government Is struggling for
It's existence. 1t 10 every mans duty to stand

sequence enough to do positive injury. It
should not DO for moment forgotten that
this war Is not an administration war, like
that with England In 1872, or with Mexico
IN lSI6-a war in which simply the interna-
tional rights and interests Of the republic
are concerned, and which might be opposed
without disloyalty under some different view
Of those rights and interests. 1t Is strictly
government war which government wages
for It's Lille; and therefore war not to DO
opposed without enmity to the movement,
which means treason. This distinction
should DO closely kept in mind: and the
words OF every man and Of every public jour

position to the war against rebellion should
be accounted no better than rebellion itself.
