companied by Mrs. Hamlin, left his home in
Hampden on Monday. en- route for Wash.
ington. A larg, number of his fcllow-citi.
zcns escorted him to Bangor, where he was
received by an immense procession of citi.
zens in single and double sleighs. The TO
ception was very enthusiastic and the greet
ing warm. The party was escorted to the
railroad station, and in taking an affection
ate farewell, Mr.. Hamlin, in replying to q
brief address by G. S. Crosby, Esq, said:
"I 90 to the discharge Of the official duties
which have been conferred upon me by o

I am hopeful still that our people are not
only loyal to the Government, but that they
are fn,:ernal to all its citizens, and when in
practice il shall be demonstrated that the
constitutional rights Of all the States will be
respected and maintained. by following the
paths illumined by Washington, Jefferson,

English View OF the Duty Of the
Republican Party.

The National Review, one Of the English
luarterlies, thus concludes an article on the
slave States and the American Union"
"a heavy responsibility rests upon the Re
publican party and the eyes ofall Europe are
on them. The recent Presidential election may
we may well hope, be o turning-point In the
history Of the Union, II that party are courag.
eous and firm In the discharge of their political
duty. For the first time since the dissolution
of the old federalist party Of Gen. Hamilton has
q political organization In the United States
been explicitly based upon great and political
principle. For the first time since the declar-
alton Of independence has II been based on one
that Is not only weighty, but noble, capable OF
arousing the deepest enthusiasm In the public
mind. Let the Republicans remember that
they are the servants OF that principle, not Its
patrons, and have neither power nor right to
compromise Il rs they please. If they wish to
wipe out the disgraceinl stains which the adj
ministntions Of Polk, Of Fillmore, OF Pierce
and Of Buchanan have left upon the history OF
the Union II they wish to redeem their count.
ry from the discredit which the annexation OF
Texas, the Mexican War, the civil war in Kan
sas, the attempts on Cuba, Mexico and Nicara-
qua, the official blindness Of the executive to
the slave trade, the conspiracy to legalize slav-
cry In the territories. and the gross corruption
of recent government, have attached to the
government of the United States-let them re-
member that success, least Of all speedy success
is not the touchstone Of true service: that they
will have done far more by keeping themselves
perfectly free to use all constitutional power
which the union possesses for the insulation
Of slavery, even though years shall elapse be-
fore they can take o single effective sep for
the attainment of that end-than if,by patch
ing up q shameful reconciliation with the
Southern States, they win for Mr.. Lincoln
the questionable praise Of being quite as safe
President as Mr.. Buchanan, and the unques-
tionable shame Of having sacrificed, for the
sake Of an unreal armistice, the only condi-
ton which will ever secure q genuine Union
which can ever cause the States 81 Ameri-
en- to be united ut heart rs well rs In name
which can ever cement them by any deeper
tic than the coarse compromise OF external
interests and common fears.

The railroad authorities at the depot, raised

had gathered at the railroad station to greet
Mr.. Hamlin with the customary demonstra.

The crowd closed in about the rear car
and cheered loudly for the Vice President

appearance upon the platform, and wa
greeted with nine enthusiastic cheers.

State Convention.

The Augusta Age has the following under the
head Of" State Convention"
I'VE learn that II is in contemplation to
hold, shortly, q State Convention OF the people
Of Maine, without distinction Of party, TO con-
slider the perllous condition Of the country,
and sec what action towards restoring tran
quill ty 10 the Coniederacy should be taken by
Maine.
This is dodge attempted on larger scale
than was attempted here in the last municipal
election. The entire object Is to try to secure
the ascendency Of the broken democracy by q
clap.trap to deceive. The "present perillous
condition the country" is entirely owing to
the UNIV illnguess of the defeated Democracy to
submit to the will Of the people, and the Con-
yention, II one is held, will be attended only by
men who either wish to resist that will or whose
sympa,hies ore with the traitors in the South
ern States.
We are not opposed to a State Convention
but IL one is called, let II not be by the sym.
pathizers with treason and rebellion, but let the
people assemble under such call as follows
"The loyal and patriotic freemen of the State
Of Maine who are opposed to secession anu CIV
Il war, and have no sympathy with treason in
any shape, and believe that legal majority
should always be respected and obeyed, and
are In favor Of the Union, the Constitution,
and wise and judicious enforcement Of the
laws are requested to meet, &C."
What does the Age say toa call couched in
such terms as these. A call Of this kind would
have some power in getting together respect
able gathering.
Called in any other way II would be nothing
but meeting Of the defeated Democracy. The
dodge will not succeed. The people Of our
State have no sympathy with traitors, and we
add, no respect for those who sympathiIe with
traitors.
