l was carrleu.
The Committee on Permanent Organia-
alton reported as follows:
For President, Francis G. Butler, of
Pennington; and member of Vice Pres
idents, whose names we did not obtain.
Mr.. Jewett of Belfast, then reported
the following Resolutions
Resozved, That it is the first duty Of
the citizen in this perilous National cri-
sis, to yield ready and unwavering sup
port to the Government in all necessary
efforts to su5due the existing rebellion,
and vindicate the authority of the consti-
tuition and Union over every inch of Ter
itory within the limits Of the United
States.
ResolUed, That Cur army and navy are
entitled to the warmest gratitude and sup
port Of every citizen for their self-sacri-
fcing efforts in behalf of our common
country.
Resolved, That we will resist all meas
ures and efforts calculated or designed to
connect this war for the Union into cru
SADIE for negro emancipation.
Resolved, That we cordially invite all
those citizens of the State who concur
with US in the foregoing declaration of
sentiments, to unite with US in the eleva-
tion of people to official place, who will
act in accordance with those sentiments.
Resolved, That we cordially approve
the patriotic course of the brave Gen.
Mcclellan, that We admire his genius and
skill as commander of an army, and that
our whole hearts are enlisted in his sue
cess before Richmond-that we view with
detestation and scorn the wicked and
schemiDg politicians to undermine and
weaken him and his army in their brave
efforts for the vindica;ion of the Union.
John A. Peters, Esq, of Bangor, then
remarked that as it was about time to pro-
coed to nominate candidate for Govern
or, he would suggest the name of CnA's
ID. JAMESON for denomination. lie was
nominated year ago by those Union
Democrats who separated from the Dana
Convention his name has not been with
drawn he has not done it, nor authoriz.
ed any one to do it, A reason for throw
ing him overheard has been given-that
man should be nominated by this con-
vention whom the Dana convention could
adopt as their nominee. Why should we
do this ? Who ars the men that we
should seek in this way to conciliate >
The very men who hissed me and others
out of Winthrop Hall last year. | know
it i; and you know it, said Mr.. p, turning
to Mr.. Jewett of Belfast.
Yes, said Jewett. loud enough to be
heard throughout tho hall, and I'll see
them in HI before I'll act with them
again.
This was received with great applause.
Mr.. Kimbal of Portland said he re-
grcttcd opposing the last gentleman, but
it was evident that the genteman's course
was actuated by prejudice; the keynote
of his opposition is, that he was Kissed out
of a Democratic convention. He was a
friend of jameson, had seen him in his
camp; he loved him; and if he (Jame-
SOM were present, he would say, don't use
my name to prevent a union of the DEM
ocratic party. Let us nominate a man
here, free from ENHANCEMENT, upon whom
nor good judgement in US to do anything
to keep the Dana men out.
Mr.. Jcwett of Belfast, said he regret
ted this discussion, but since it had arisen,
he had something to say. He would now
disclose to the public what he had hithcr-
to on y told in private, and give his rea-
sons why he would not act again with the
leading traitors from whom he had separ-
ated last year. | told them that we were
as far apart as treason and loyalty; and
never again, while had breath in nv
body, would | act with a traitor or a sup
porter of a traitor. | went to Portland
last year to meet the State Committee, to
consult relative to a call for convention,
and | met John w. Dana with that Com
mttee, and what did he advise? Why,
sir, that the Democratic party of Maine
adopt a policy of peace, and that the
Union army be withdrawn from beyond
the potomac, and that the Government
cease coercive measures and appoint COM
mssioners to reconstruct the Union. 1t
was after our flag had been desecrated at
Sumter, and they ccnsured the President
for sending supplies to the Fort. l found
leading democrats there counselling this,
and one man from Louisiana, who was
acting on the State Committee as a men,
Der, and this man was called upon to give
his opinion as to whether Maine could get
admission into jeff Davis Confederacy,
in case of reconstruction, and he thought
she could, but only on terms that She
should have no voice in it. | listened to
to them all, and then | denounced them.
| told them jeff Davis was traitor;
that my business hereafter should be to
do all | could to have him hung, and his
supporters; that they might announce
their peace policy and their address, and
would meet them throughout the State
| told them that | thought, instead of be-
ing in Portland, | was in Alabama, in the
capital of Jeff Davis Contederscy, and
that | was ashamed Of them, and blushcl
for my race. The next | heard of them
was in Augusta. After calling their
Peace Convention, they had stolen into
ours and got control Of 1t; and what did
they do
When Mr.. Peters was called upon to
address the Convention, and spoke patri-
otcally and cloquently for the old flag and
the army, he was hissed--yes, hiSSed--
