both in poin, Of ,alsn, and mind stand far

education, and has won FOR himself high
reputation at the bar, and a. among the
young men OF Maine. he stands in hi. pro.
.c..,on second 10 none.
Undoubtedly. in u pecuniary poin, Of
view. he will be the lo.sr by exchanging

Shepley has always been u democra, OF tue

With Bu,ler. aud Cushing, ard Dickinson,

ley's we'll known abIlitie, q. man. the
country expect. much from him rs u military
leader, and We believe the people in oil
their reasonable expectations will not DO
disappointed. We believe lac will make hIs
mark.
Col. Dow. in pOin, Of ability, rank.
among the fret men in Maine. lie is a
man OF marked native genius. and although
no, trained IN all the details Of tho"sebools, "
ys, he has u practical education worth in
dnitely more than college drill. 10 use u
common phrase, Col. Dow was " Gu, on, :"
for q military man, and his tas es have led
him to give time to a thorough study OF tho
art Of war. Bold, decided, perseverins.
with will and a determination that never
gives way 10 anything but what he believe.
to DO right, Col. Dow cannot fail as mill.
tary commander. The Government is eI-
cecdipsly fortunate in securing his services.
We need more OF just such men to lead our
patriotic cons against rebellion.
