rass the administration and split the nation into
fragments. We denounce all such efforts as the me-
n w0fk OF traitors and call upon the patriotic
to prove to the citizens of other loyal States that
any oblIquy which has been cast upon by whisper
ings that the Dirigo State will on its annual election,
show retrogression of the cause for which many
of her gallant have devoted life and dearer
earthly prospects, deccitfnl and false as 'the
bascless fabric Of a vision
Resolred, That we will administer 10 rebel sympa-
thsers, traitors and copperheads in this State at
the coming election, such defeat as will vindcate
our national honor, and thrill with joy the heart of
every true patriot and soldier throughout the coun-
try.
Resolred That in the nominations for the County
and Senatorial officers, made by this Convention we
recognize devoted to the Union and the Consti.
tuition and as such pledge to them our undivided
and jealous support.
The President, Mr.. Fox, then addressed the
Convention in some stirring remarks, urging
upon each member to go home and work in
the school districts, and to see that every man
was brought out. He said there need be no
fear of this city-Portland would do her duty
and givea handsome majority to the candidates
nominated to-day; and if there was not 1000
majority in the county, it would be the fault
of the country towns and not of this city. Ut
shall not be the fault of the country towns,
was the response.) lie said it was not the
masses, but the leaders, who were copperheads
and traitors. The late State Convention was
governed by set of men whose whole object
was TO gain power even at the sacrifice of ey-
cry honorable principle. Such nen as Mar
cellus Emery, John Babson, and others ofthat
kindred, were the Committee on Resolutions,
and the guiding spirits of the Convention, and
they were men who like Vallandigham, should
be banished their country.
John T. Gilman Esq, also, at the call of the
President, addressed the meeting.
At the close of Mr.. Glman's address, the
Convention adjourned.

A Grand Union Rally.

The new City Hall was well filled last even
ing, notwithstanding the threatening appear
ance of the weather, to listen to speech from
Hon. Albert G. Jewett, of Belfast. The neet-
ing ~as called TO order by Lewis b. Smith,
ESQ, on whose motion John Neal, Esq. was
elected chairman of the meeting. On taking
the chair Mr.. Neal said he should not occupy
the time himself, it being his duty simply to
introduce an old-fashioned Democrat, who
would say just what he meant, and meant just
what he said. A cast-iron man with furnace
in the right place-HoS. ALBERT G. JEwETr,
Of Beyast.
Mr.. Jewett was received with enthusiastic
applause, and was vocilerously cheered at va
rious stages of his address, and at the close.
Mr.. Jewett occupied about two hours, during
which time but very few left the hall. No re-
port of his language or points can begin to do
him justice. It was characterized by bold
unflinching declaration of his position, and
scathing rebake of those who have, in this
State aud elsewhere, been aiding the rebels in
their attempts to destroy the government 1t
was an able, eloquent, forcible, logical and
bold speech, and will do much to set right
certain class of persons who have been associ-
ated with him in the Democratic party.
Mr.. Jcwett will be listened to with the deep
est interest wherever he may speak, and we
have not listened to any man who will accom-
plish more in setting the people right on the
great question OF the hour. We bespeak for
him large audiences wherever he may have
appointments, and we will guarantee that all
loyal men and women will go away abundant
iy satisfied.
