Democratic Principles.
Tho Democrats Of Frycburs have held q
caucus. and Judging from the list OF officers,
wc should think a very respectable ono In
poin, Of numbers. They have passed a
string Of elabora,ely drawn resolutions. and
n. Pr,.hurs is very impor'an, central
point. l, IL fair to suppose that the Demo.
Gratis Of ,ha, town speak the sentiments OF
their party in that vicinity. and We may
further presume tina, the resolutions pub
ii.hed in tho Democratic papers, ,riihoui
comm,ni. are endorsed by those papers. We
do not intend TO comment upoa the rcsolu.
ton. h, detail. The first thrco are devoted
TO +" hifaluiin." the fourth scouts the idea
tina, the Union !. to DO restored by force.
and depreca,ss tho suspension OF the writ OF
babca. corpus. the raising OF an army with
out warrant Of law. the searching for pa
per.. arms. 40, &c. We copy entire the
9Th. 9th ADD 7th resolutions

Union IL in y prompt return TO the sane
iraternal feeling which originated u and
tho adoption Of such measures " Will con-
vino. tho people OF the di'coniented States
tina, they can remain in the Union as equals
and u. brethren. and that all their rights
will be .acrcdiy regarded and faithfully en-
forced
Resolrod. That tho only end that can be
reached by the pressn, coercive policy Is the
entire prc.tra,,on Of all our industrial and
material in,erests--a permanent SEPARATION.
aud un ,onqaerable bitterness b,twcen the
separated Sta,es-and, worse than all, the
entire subyer.iou Of our own Government.
Re,olred. That in the selection Of eandi.
date, for Office. our delegates are instructed
to disregard all past Issues. and minor con.

As early a. April last by tho Federal Gov
eminent. Washington would now have been
IN possession Of the Davis Government: all

The Difference between the Republicans
Of Maine and the Democracy OF frycburs,
i.',hs difference between Hon. Francis Thorn
as and Hon. Henry May. Representatives
from Maryland. While Thomas. South

,ion., In favor Of maintaining inv'olase ev
cry Southern right, whether State or per
.onal. thoroughly endorses the policy OF thu
Administration and tho conduct OF Maj
Gen. Banks. including the suspension OF tn
IIabe,. Corpus. the arrest OF Marshal Kane
and the search for arms and papers, Henri,
May the friend Of Davis. the opponent o.
coercion, talks in the same strain a. the De
mocracy Of Fryebur:. Henry Nav Ia moo
riou.ly the friend Of the seees.ioni',-, am
ho,e. TO wi,ne-. their triumph; when Oh
fryeburs Democrats use Mr.. Mays arsu
ment.. we are justified in saying that thei'
sympa,hie: are enliste! in the same cause.
We know tina, fryeburs Is an inauentia
town. and that II represents a considerable
portion Of 0rfold County. and since read
Ing the resolutions we are led TO believe th,
truth Of tho Statement, that Oxford County
contains more -eces.ionis,s than all the 9th
er counties Of Maine combined. lf'uch res
olu,ion, q, the above are passed in the Al
b ru.,a Convention there will DO music, anC
probably another split in the Democratic
party; an attempt to force the entire Dc
mocracy into tbs ranks OF the Brcckinr'is
srs will meet with determined opposition
