and Wiggin; the first, of Importance only
because he is tho State candidate of largo
body of mcn,-thc second, principally in his
own estimation.
The Saco Democrat, in reply to our re-
marks, quotes Bradbury's letter Of accep-
lance to show that the people should believe
Quixotc in preference to his Sancho Panza,
appeals from Anderson in tho convention to
Anderson sober aud out of the convention
Now there is medley of assertions and dis
ayowals sufficient to cause query in any
mans mind. In reply to Morrow, of Tops
am, S. j. Anderson, who was then on tho
witness stand, said:
When Coz. Seymour withdra,cs The Neto
York troops. then PLEDGE YOU THAT
BION BRADBURY WILL WITHDRAW
THE MAINE TROOPS.
The statement cannot be rendered in Eng
lish palmer than it is. The entire remarks
were geographically reported, hayc been
published in every political paper in this
State, and no one man in this State has de-
MED tho pledge of Anderson, except Ander-
son himself, who, in tho face of the facts
stated, has tho "check" (no other word ex-
prcsscsit) to writca letter to tho Press in which
he tries his hand at another statement, to
wit al did not pledge, nor intend to pledge,
Mr.. Bradbury to withdraw the troops."-
Tho Democrat quotes this last statement to
show that Bradbury never gave Anderson
authority to mako his first statement Our
noishbor's client is in ridiculous position.
We have given Mr.. Bradbury tho benefit
of his statement in regard to recalling tho
troops. Everybody is satisfied that Mr.. b.
is anxious that it should DO understood that
he would not as Governor do what he could
not do, but they are not satisfied that no did
not give Anderson authority to pledge him
self in the convention that If ELECTED
GOVERNOR, He WOULD RECALL THE
MAINE TROOPS WHENEVER HE
COULD DO so WITH SAFETY TO HIM.
SELF REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE
FOR WHICH THEY ARE NOW FIGHT
ING. And it will DO observed that neither
Mr.. Bradbury nor any of his friends, denies
authority to Anderson to make the state
ment that was made. And here We dismiss
bantling No. l.
Mr.. Wiggin writes lcttcr denying that
he counsclcd resistance to the Draft, or urged
the copperheads to mob violence, except in
pcaceablc and lawful manner! This is
bantlins No. .. That our readers may SEQ
what Wiggin, who so clcctriiies the Courts
and Crowned Heads of Europe, from timc to
time, did say, VIC give part of his speech
at Portland:
Mr.. WIGGrN II never was called upon in
democratic meeting to say something OF
democratic men and principles when failed
to respond to the best of my ability. We
have como together ut u time when the new
made graves of our sons and our brothers
