The Late windham Town Meeting.
wINDHAM, June "a, 1868,

WINDHAM, June "a, 1868.
To the Editor Of the Press:
In the Argus of Tuesday last, there ap-
pears an article from this town signed by
Zone of the Copperheads' sigma
ture, without donbt-in which the writer, I'M
der date Of the 10th inst, says:
To-day the legal voters Of windham assembled
TO the number of 400 or 800 ITO what action the
town would take to raise money for men drafted
from that town." and il was decided by 40 majority
TO give each man drafted $500. wherewithal to pay
his communication fees' or take it as bounty and
go to the war;
The writer says "the thing was not party
move," and holds up the tremendous "major-
ity of 46' to Brighten the "loyalty" from SO
constituting it.
A faint glimmer of truth peryades his
statement. There was q town meeting here.
There were perhaps four hundred voters pres
ent. But the thing was a party move. A
democrat started and circulated the petition
for a meeting. The article in the warrant I'M
der which action was had, read as follows:
"To see what action, If any the town will take in
relation to raising such 81 of money a. may be
necessary to pay the commutation of those that NAV
be called for from said town under the CONSUMPTION
act"
If this article meant anything, which some
present seemed to doubt, it meant that the
town should determine whether or not to pay
$500 for each man drafted and permit the man
to stay at home. No vote was taken, and no
vote could have been taken under this article,
to gire each man drafted $500, &c. A motion
was made to raise $500 for each man drafted.
The unterrified democracy together with
very few lion-hearted ~ republicans, were
found voting for the motion, in all 1873.
Against the motion, nearly all republicans, 81
votes were counted. This, in town of over
600 voters. casting 400 republican votes in
1850. So much for the fearful majority of 46.
Republicans, well knowing the monstrous alb
surdity, and illegally of the whole thing, did
not generally attend the meeting.
1t amounted to a demonstration of Copper
head bravery and patriotism and nothing more.
In the excess of joy at this sudden and I'M
looked for salvation from the dangers of war,
the sagacious movers in this honorable enter
prise forgot, or deemed it unnecessary, TO pro-
ride means. for raising money as voted. No
other motion was made except to adjourn
without day, which motion prevailed, and was
followed by grand hurrah; but whether the
hurrah occurred by reason of the success of
the meeting or of the sagacity of its movers
in providing ways and means, is still a matter
oil some small doubt. REPUBLICAN,.

Town Bounties to Drafted Men.

FRyEBURG, June D. 1868.
To the Editor Of the Press.
In many of the towns in this State the prof.
ect is even now being agitated, to raise by
vote three hundred dollars for every citizen
who may be drafted under the impending
call.
There seem to be two prominent objections
to such course. First, on patriotic grounds,
that it would be virtually an evasion of the
law (which is indisputably framed for the pur-
pose of obtaining soldiers, not money! and
that towns would thereby be providing means,
not especially 10 bring recruits into our ar
mics, but TO aid citizens, oho are so disposed,
to Grade their duties TO the government. Sec
ondly, that such course, if generally adopt
ed, would only result in obliging the govern
ment 10 try other means to obtain its object,
namely men; and thus towns after making
large appropriations would still find them
selves liable to furnish their quotas.
Now if the object proposed to be effected by
such appropriations is really to aid The gor-
eminent and at the same time to reward
those who expose their lives in its cause, why
should not the money which is raised be given
to those persons who, having been drafted
and accepted, shall actually enter the seruice
The sum necessary to be raised by town
would depend upon the courage and patriot
ism of its citizens; but it would not be voted
to protect disloyalty and cowardice, and the
Union-loving men of the North who have as
sured government of their support would not
"Keep the word of promise to the ear and
break it to the hope CIvIs.

IE- A correspondent of the London Times
draws attention to the fact that the great lake
Victoria Nyanza, described by Spoke, is cor
rectly laid down in an atlas published one
hundred and sixteen years ago, by the name
of the Lake Zambre, extending from the
fourth to the eleventh degree of south lati-
tude, and being about four hundred miles in
length by sixty in breadth, while the accom-
panying letter press, in a very curious detailed
account of the district, distinctly states the
fact that it is the source of the Nile and two
other great rivers. The work in question is
called .'rhe complete system of Geography"

Geographer to his Majesty, in 1774.

The Ward Cancu.es Tonight.

The friends Of the Government, those who
are prepared to yield an uncondtionafsupport
to all legitimate means used to uphold its au-
thority and crush out the rebellion, viii doubt
less rally In full numbers responsive to the call
Of the Republican City Committee, to choose
delegates to the Bangor Convention. The
Committee in the call they have issued, have
acted wisely, and gone as far as they had au-
thority to go to meet those truly loyal men
who have not heretofore acted with the Re-
publican party. Last year, when the clouds of
civil war lowered as threateningly as they ev-
er have done; when all the reasons for united
effort existed tina. now exist or that can exist,
the State Committee invited all loyal citizens
to meet with the Republicans, in convention,
TO nominate candidate for Governor, and to
take council ia relation to the demands OF duty.
This year they have done essentially the same
thing. They have invited all the citizens of
Maine who are Internationally loyal to the
Government of the United States, and who
Internationally support all its measures for
"the suppression Of the rebellion, and who
"are resolved to spare no endeayors to MAIN
"tain our National Union, both in principle
"and territorial boundary" to participate by
their delegates in the State Convention to as
semble on the LIST proximo.
All the Republicans of Maine = those who
have not ignored the organization, surely
come within the invitation thus expressed.
The Republican City Committee, as the repre-
sautafivac nj ha n..lxr
our midst, and as the only committee author
orized to call the Republicans together, have
invited not only the Republicans of Portland,
but all other Internationally loyal men, to
meet this evening to respond to the liberal
call of the Republican State Committee.
The loyal men of the city will recognize
their authority and respond TO their call. How
many outside of the Republican organization
will heed the call we know not; those who
object to 1t because of its lack of liberality.
would probably object to saving the country
under Republican administration. So far as
we have conversed with Democrats who will
not support the copperhead organization, they
are satisfied with the action of the committee.
They are ready to act with their Republican
brethren, and we dare say, SO far as this city
is concerned, no loyal man will be objected to
as delegate to Bangor on account of his an
tecedents. They will come into caucus, as
brothers in a common cause, to receive the
cordial treatment of brothers; not to put on
party badges, not to bow down to party idols.
not to do party work, but to act in harmony
and unison with Others of kindred sympathies,
in carrying forward great and good cause.
They will not come filed with suspicious and
