that city, says she was in favor of carrying on
this war till all vestiges of rebellion are ami

CoPPER-HEADs OFF FOR CANApA-We
learn that on information being received in
Oxford County, that the ununiformed Militia
of the State would be called out for duty, sub
ject to a draft by order Of the Governor. about
thirty copper-heads, Of n town in the vicinity
Of South Paris, took the night train and ske-
daddled for Canada. If such fellows are not
put into the press gang service Of Her Majes-
~. on their return to the State il would not be
had policy to provide them with quarters at
Fort Warren.
~ From all quarters the most cheering
accounts come TO US of the readiness of the
people to respond to the call Of the President,
and of their determination to make a vigorous
effort to strangle the rebellion within the short
est possible period. After this is strangled,
the leading rebels may be strangled at leisure.
sV- A town meeting has been called in
Lewiston, for the 18th inst, to see what re-
sponse, by way of encouragement for enlist
ments, the town will make TO the call of the
Governor for additional troops.
s'False in Statement is hs
The weak assertion that the line separating
the free and the slave States is the line between
la.-. a al.
slavery caused the rebellion, is weak i'm logic
and false in statement. Not one of the border
States is disloyal except by force. Argus.
In the above paragraph the Argus takes ex-
eeptions to a statement of ours, and boldly de-
clares that mot one Of the border States
is disloyal sore by force" by which we under
stand it to affirm that no border State has been
held to its loyalty and allegiance by the force
of the federal government Has that paper
forgotten the story of the dsloyal Legislature
of Maryland, whose members were put en-
masse into Fort McHenry, or how at one time
that true-hearted man, Gov. Hicks, became
frightened, and feared TO have federal troops
march through Baltimore? Has it forgotten
Claib Jackson, the notorious rebel Governor of
1uissouii, anu his toa'uupis III cTint-tHe
members of the Legislature of that State?
Has it forgotten Maggoffin of Kentucky, and
how troops were sent from Ohio to prevent his
swinging that noble old State into the rebel
lion? We asserted, and we now assert, that
all these States would have been forced into
rebellion but for federal bayonets, as Tennes-
see was forced out of the Union, and has been
redeemed by the federal power. What does
our neighbor expect to gain by the denial of
facts so patent as these?
