crThe Democratic Conventions are full of
denunciation of the North, of the manner in
which the war is being conducted, of the Nor
thern people for producing it, bulhave not the
first word of condemnation of the Southern
truitors; and yet they claim to be patriotic!
sB- The Argus Of yesterday had a long
leader, headed, "Read the Testimony" but
every word oft was to disparage the North
and our Northern people, while not word
was spoken that would tend to rufile the fur
on any animal in the rebel confederacy.
is said that the loyal Canadians OBJ

daddling Americans, knowing them to be gen.
rally the friends of Floyd Our cautious
neighbors fear that the Floyd spirit may seek
to steal their country, and annex it to JEFF Da-
Wis coniederacy.
T-The 18th Regiment struck their tents
early yesterday morning, and took the cars at

Judge Roselins, DR.. Coltman and Mr.. Bullitt

At mass meeting in Hartford, Conn.,,
on Wednesday evening, Gov. Buckingham
said that the several calls on the State for sol
diers would take one-half the able e-bodied men
to fill them up. Nevertheless, every day shows
the more decidedly that the required number

England is there more loyal feeling than in
Connecticut.
sB- We cannot publish the articles sent us
by correspondent at Jay Bridge, for at least
four substantial reasons; 1st, we have no
founts of HebreT type in the office; I'd, if we
had such type we could not read his Hebrew
quotations; Sd, five could read them, we have
no compositors who would undertake to set
them up, and 4th, If we should print them we
doubt if we have any readers-except our cor
respondent--who are sufficiently learned to
understand them. His other brief articles are
on file, and will be published when we can find
room for them.
sYThe Argus had better wipe its glasses.
1t intimates that the Press has given the go
bye to President Lincoln's address on coloni-
zation, to the delegation of colored men, and
that the Advertiser only has shown it proper
respect. While we don't deny that the Adver-
tiser deals in respects, we would suggest
that if our Rip Van Wrinkle neighbor will rub
his hundred sleepy eyes, he may discover that
the Press gave that address of the Presidents
Geographically, the next morning after it was
delivered, while neither of the other city pa
pers so much as alluded to it in their issues of
that day.
DEMoCATlC NoMINATIoN.-A friend at
Gray, has sent us an account of the Democrat
ic Convention which met in that town, Wednes-
day last, to nominate a Candidate to serve out
the unexpired term of Judge Walton, of the
old I'd District S. Thing, Esq, of Freeport
presided Eleven towns were represented, by
35 delegates. The resolutions of the State
Convention were re-afiirmed. On the first
ballot Calvin Record had II, Geo. Bates TO- A.
S. Holden 9. On the I'd ballot, Record IL,
Bates 6, Holden s, and Calvin Record, Esq,
of Auburn-former partner of Judge Walton,
and his competitor when Mr.. w. was elected
was declared duly nominated. Our cores
pondent informs us that hotel keeper in Gray,
made preparation TO dine one hundred but his
table lacked only eighty of being full.
SOUTHERN SYaIPATHY.--Iti difficult to real
ize that we have, in the loyal States men whose
sympathies, either openly expressed, or par
tally disguised, are all with the traitors; but
it is fact, however painful and humiliating it
may be. As there were tories and traitors in
