DRUNKEN ScENE-INDEcENcY OF Governor
LETcEER.-The Richmond Examiner Of the
23d ult., says scene of indecency, drunken
or sober, occprred in the House of Delegates
yesterday, while that body was occupied With
the question of the election Of a Confederate
Senator. Notifying to the hundreds who
witnessed it. In the midst of the debate
John Letcher, Governor of Virginia, came
into the Legislative chamber, drunk, and sat
on the steps leading to the Speakers chair
for the full space of half an hour, with CT,
gar in has mouth, making himselfa spectacle
for the whole house and butt for the jokes
of the gallery. The apparition occurred just
as both parties seemed in deadlock as to
who should be Senator. The occurrence
might naturally have originated in drunken
Imagination that a display so dramatically
made at the nick of time might suggest Q
compromise to both parties, and inspire q
sudden enthusiasm for John Letcher and his
republican cigar. We can imagine no other
explanation for the impertinence and inde-
cency of John II tcher on the Speakers ros.
trum, displaying his cigar, and n aking him.
self such spectacle to the 9 assembled wis.

Our PRorEsr.-We protest, says the Ma
ryland Union. against the enemies of the
United States Government calling themselves
Democrats, after having the sham of Peace
torn off, and themselves exposed in all their
hypocritical proportions. The name OF Dem:
ocrat is too honorable to be polluted by men
who are as unmitigated set of traitors to
their country and its Government as was
BENEDICT Arnold. True Democrats never as
sist, or sympathize with, those in arms
against their country. They never rejoice
over its reyerses, or take pleasure il. record:
ing its defeats; yet spch are the men who,
after Calling themselves numerous other
names. are now appropriating to themselves
that honorable title, in order that the base
metal may pass current under good name.
1t is the rankest hypocrisy, cheat and
base counterfeit, has not the ring Of the true
metal, no genuine endorsements upon it, and
may be easily detected.

Congressional Nominations.

At the Convention of the I'd Congressional
District-new ortionment-yesterday, at
Auburn. Hon. SIDNEY PERHAM, of Paris, was
nominated for Representative in the 3Sth Con-
gress, by So majority. Mr.. Perham is not
professional man, but an Oxford county Far
mer, and he has honored the plough, as he will
honor seat in Congress. He is man of
sterling integrity, against whose character the
breath of scandal has never been raised, and
is beloved by all who know him.
In 1856 he was Speaker Of the Maine House
Of Representatives, in 1856 he was one of the
Electors at Large of President and Vice Pres
ident, he was President of the late Republican
State Convention that nominated Mr.. Coburn,
and he is now serving his second term as Clerk
of the Judicial Court for his county. His
election is beyond doubt by an overwhelm-
ing maority-indeed, we are not aware that
he will have any organized opposition.
We understand that THos. A. ID. FEssEN-
DEN, Esq, of Auburn, was nominated by the
convention for the old I'd District, to serve out
the unexpired term of Judge Walton, in the
present Congress. Mr.. Fessenden hat been
member of the State Legislature, and is now
County Attorney for Androscoggin. He is a
brother of Senator Fessenden of this city,
The Portland daily press., 1862-08-09

Last year the people of Bangor very quietly
suppressed the publication of an infamous
reasonable paper in that city, because it OPP
posed the ,oar. But now there exists paper
in this goody State of Maine, stepped to the
very lips in treason, beside which the Bangor
Democrat was comparatively loyal. We re-
fer to that miserable, reasonable paper at Sa-
co, called the "Maine Democrat" This week
it is full of rampant treason, and the only won
der is that the loyal people of Saco endure it.
Upon such disloyal papers,I and the Inen
who entertain such sentiments as it expresses,
have the traitors of the South relied. They
thought there were enough of such doughfac-
es to make divided North is case of war
This week, in long article, such as we should
expect to find in the Richmond Examiner,
whose editor would be arrested for treason if
found within the Union lines, we find such out
rageous sentiments as the following:
To come now to the main point, we affirm
as we have always done-tidt the rar no,o
carried on by the Federal Government against
the seeded States DOES NOT STAND THE
TEST AS A DEMOCRATIC MEASURE. =
The war is not clear necessity to MAIN
q
cessity to maintain the Union"
The war tcos begun and is carried on under
the direction of those whose object Is to des-
troy Democracy in the sense Democracy is
understood by the Democratic party and
against the almost unanimous protest of the
party. The war as a measure to
maintain the Constitution and the Union. is
A FAILURE, by the confession of many of
its prominent supporters. For all
these reasons, and more which may be pro-
duced, we maintain that the war is UNDEM-
OCRATIC, AND OUGHT TO BE ADAM
DONED. For these reasons we have opposed
and do oppose, the war. For these reasons
We have counseled, and do counsel. the De-
mocracy as individuals, and in convention, to
OPPOSE THE WAR.
There, if that be not rank treason lifting its
unholy head here in the loyal State of Maine,
what, in Heavens namei it? If the Govern
ment is true to itself it will not permit its eff
forts to be paralyzed by traitors anywhere,
where 1t can get its paw upon them. A trail
tor here in Maine is as bad as traitor in South
Carolina, end ought not to be tolerated. Fort
Warren is good summer residence for such.
The traitors in the South "oppose the war;"
and traitors at the North do the same thing.
Where is the difference? To oppose the war
is to oppose the Government andl its mainte-
nance; and he is a TRAITOR tcho does IL,
whoever or wherever he may be-whether he
oppose it at the South with musket in hand,
or at the North by reasonable acts and words
encouraging the continuance of the war, or
the destruction of the Government. We do
not counsel mob violence, but we do say that
the Government should lay its strong hand up
on treason everywhere, SO that its power will
be felt and respected.
