sE- A correspondent of the Lewiston
Journal writes from Franklin county, that
"the fires of patriotism are brightly burning
in that section of the state. Col L. T. Luce,
Hon. Leonard Andrews, Hon. Sydney Perham
and DR.. Alexander have been addressing large
audiences with great effect and are advertised
to speak in nearly every town. Six weeks ago
the copperheads felt sure of carrying the
county, but their ranks are now being sadly
thinned by assertions and the irresistible
Union logic. Put down Franklin county sure
for Samuel Cony by majority of 50O.'
sy- The Advertiser in its attempt to prove
that the leading Republicans of the country
have been disunionists, quotes from a speech
made by Hon. John p. Hale in the IT, S. SEN
ate, May 81, 1s4s. to prove that he was in ia
vor of dissolution of the Union, as follows:
Let the consequences be what they may am will
ing to place myself upon the principle of human
right; to stand where the Word OF God aud NV own
conscience concur IN placing me- and there bid deli
ancc to all consequences And in the end, if this
Union bound as il Is to associations, has other
principle of cement than the blood of human slave
ry, LET 1T SuNDER.
Is there an honest man in Maine to-day,
who is not ready to say the same? If this
Union has no other principle of cement than
the blood of human slavery, let it sunder. Is
it supposed Mr.. Hale believed, does the ed
itor Of the Advertiser believe, the blood of
human slavery alone cements this Union so
that if slavery should cease in all the land, the
States must naturally and inevitably fall apart?
That may be such Union as the copperheads
OF the North would be willing to sustain, but
not such Union as Washington, Jefferson
and Jackson sought to establish and maintain
