q The bogus democracy were out in full
force, last evening, to listen to their chosen
champion, Bion Bradbury. Previous to his
introduction, A. P. Gould, Esq, OF Thomas
ton, spoke nearly two hours, Notwithstanding
the efforts of the leaders TO choke him of. He
proved that Bradbury would be elected Gov
ernor as follows: One copperhead has more
power than ten black snakes, and therefore
one copperhead counts as much as ten repub-
licans, and consequently Bradbury will be
elected if he gets oue-tenth of the votes. If
We have not given the precise language of the
speakef we have it as nearly correct as any
statement Mr.. Gould made in relation to the
Union party. Mr.. Bradbury made mociny
speech. Soon after he commenced there was
general uprising of the people, and nearly
half the audience left the house. His whole
effort was to misrspresent the position of the
Union party and to sugar coat the bitter pill
the bogus democratic convention had prepared
for the faithful to swallow on Monday next.
That meeting was not only waste of coal
gas, but of a gas not distilled in the clouds of
heaven, under the influence of which copper
head speeches are mainly delivered.

/. That in every State where the soldiers in
the field have been allowed to vote, so-caled
Democracy has been ignobly defeated.
2. That the triumphs in New York, Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Wiscon-
sin, won by so-called Democrats, were won
because the soldiers had no chance to vote.
3. That in Iowa, whose soldiers did vote, the
Union cause showed large gains, and four
members Of Congress were gained.
A. That this year sixty thousand Union SOL
diers are to vote, and they will bury copper
headism so deeply that it can never sprout
again.
5. That in Ohio the soldiers are to vote,
and they have sworn with the home vote, to
bury Valandigham and Pugh beneath ma
jority of 100000.
6. In Wisconsin the soldiers are TO vote, and
the copperheads have given up the contest in
despair. IL.
Z. That in New York to-day Seymour is
despised, and his former friends concede that
If an election were to come of now, he would
be shamefully swamped beyond hope of ever
again coming to the surface. Democracy
went to seed in the New York mobs, and the
people have had enough of such rule.

Copserhead Rally at o,isfield.

A gentleman who was present at the Cop
perhead Mass Meeting held at Otisfeld, OH
Tuesday afternoon last, sends to a friend in
just returned from Democratic Mass Meeting
held at the Town House in Otisfield this after
noon. The first speaker, A. A. Strout OF Har-
rison, spoke of the National Administration as
corrupt and likely to ruin the country, and
that it was the duty of the intensified democ-
racy of Maine to rise with their whole strength,
and route the combined host of renegade DEM
acrats and aboltionists at the State election
next Monday.
The next speaker was young lawyer from
Windham, by the name of Parker. The first
word he spoke was SO loud, although he stood
well braced, it threw him back several feet.
He was more savage on the National and State
Administration than any of the other speakers.
He, however, tapered off in about fifteen min
utes in much lower tone of voice than he
commenced.
The third speaker was S. Anderson ESQ.,. of
your city. The first part of his speech was as
candid as l had any reason to expect. He
spoke about one hour and a half He said the
South might have been kept in the Union if
the North had accepted the Crittenden COM
promise, as that was perfectly satisfactory to
Toombs, JEFF Davis & Co.; but the Northern
abolitionists rejected it and were responsible
for all the blood and treasure that have been
wasted for the two years past.
He thought the South were to blame for
leaving the Union. He however believed that
community that thought they could better
their situation and were willing to risk the
consequences, had right to leave the govern
ment they belong to. He was down on the
Conscription act because it called for the rich
mans money and the poor mans blood. He
closed sooner than he intended, as quite a
number left the house about this time. The
National debt, he stated, was at this time over
two thousand millions of dollars. His remedy
for the existing trouble was to stop the prog
ress of the army and invite the South to return
to their allegiance.
N. S. Littlefield Esq, of Bridgton, COM
menced speaking after about one-third of the
people had left. He said he had been warning
the people for thirty years past that the aboli-
tionists would bring about the evils we are
now suffering, but his counsels were not re-
garded. Unless Bion Bradbury was elected
Governor, the country would be ruined.
He informed the audience that the shirt he
then had on his back would have been in the
rag-bag six months ago if it had not been for
this cursed war. He said there was no pros
pect of subjugating the South and the war
would continue for years unless the Democra-
cy came into power.
Although notices had been sent in all direc-
tons, there were but about 220 persons pres
ent, 25 or 80 females and as many boys.
l think we shall cast as large majority in
Otisfield as we did last year for Coburn.
Yours in haste, w.

For the Press.
The correspondent of the Argus, in giving
an account of the political meeting which the
Hon. +. o. j. Smith addressed at Brunswick
on Tuesday last, inadvertently omitted one or
two interesting particulars. The President OF
Bowdoin College, who with reverent eyes fol-
lows in the footsteps of Nathan Lord, ID. d.,
late of Dartmouth College, and who is, or is
not, alleged with copper, with slight admix-
ture OF brass, attended himself and kindly al
lowed the students to attend; thinking, doubt
less, that one hundred and fifty young men
totally ignorant Of their political rights and
duties, could not afford to lose the golden OPP
portunity of listening to that paragon of con-
sistency, Mr.. Smith. The gentleman from
Westbrook in the course of his remarks took
occasion to slur the college and Prof. Whttle-
sey in particular, whereat the young scape-
graces, with no respect for dignitaries and
with no fear of God before their eyes, Missed
him, and at the close of the gentleman's re-
marks the Bowdoin boys gave three cheers for
the Union, the college, and Prof. Whittlesey

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.
The Herald's Morris Island letter, of the
9th, states that a rebel barge - containing
Major Lally, Chief of Artillery on Gen. Rip
leys staff, Surgeon Charney and eleven men
was captured by Lieut.. Higginson of the frig-
ate Powhattan last Friday night, near Fort
Sumter.
The Times special Washington dispatch
says: It's positively stated in diplomatic cir
Giles that the rebels have mounted on Fort
Moutre the 600 and S00-pounder Blakely
guns, which were to be part OF the arma-
ment of the two rams recently launched by the
Lairds. These guns were already know to
have arrived at Nassau. Doubt is, however,
thrown upon the report by the silence of Ad-
miral Dallgren.

Hon. John A. Logan.

To the Editor Of the Press
In your issue of Wednesday reference is
made to Gen. Logan's position, his speeches,
DC. was happy to find in a recent visit in
different parts o. Illinois, that the Generals
able defense of the Government and of the
war to sustain it, was having marked effect
upon his old democratic associates. / was as
sured in Southern Illinois that many of his
former friends, who have been opponents of
the administration, have been convinced by
his reasonings, that they were in the wrong,
and have renowned their opposition, aud will
vote the Union ticket at the approaching cleo
ton. Much credit is due to Mr.. Logan for his
manly position in this great crisis of our his
tory. Waving all party associations, he has
freely offered his life on many battlefields, and
is now following up his heroic deeds with pa
triotic words, in defense of an administration
for which he did not vote, but which he feels,
with all patriots, the absolute duty of sustain
ing. Yours respectfully, w.

Oh DR.. Sweat oh DR.. Sweat

Thus cut and slash an ancient friend

How could st thou have the heart to stand,
With keen-edged scalpel point,
And with a cool and steady hand

All, L. d. NJ, why did'st thou stay
Thy cutting, cruel blows,
Until thy victim had gone forth
TO fight his country's foes
Why did'st thou not, when face to face,
Breathe forth thy valiant threat
To dose whoe'er should brave your powers,
Or put them in a sweat +?
Thrice lucky shepley thy good star
Hath led thee far away,
Where thou cans't rest secure from harm,
Nor fear this dread ARRAY
Ills true that dangers may surround,
But what car'st thou for them
What deadly missile can compare
To thrusts by L. D. M?

As well the helmless bark ould seek
To brave the dread typhoon-
As well its glory to eclipse

The Prospect Brightens - COpperheads al
the North and Rebellion at the South,
going to the Wall,

Never did the Union cause look brighter
than at the present moment. In the South
the signs are auspicious. Meade at Gettgs
burg opened the ball, driving Lee back 10 his
own place with the loss of half his army
Grant followed up the success by the capture
of Nicksburg with its $4,000 prisoners. Banks
before Port Hudson gave the third great blow
to the rebel cause, Capturing 5000 more pris-
oners.
Gilmore has done nobly at Charleston, re-
ducing Sumter to a ruin, taking Gregg and
Wagner, and placing the "infernal city" under
the fire of our batteries and iron ciads.
The glorious news is followed up by intelli-
gence from East Tennessee. Burnside has
taken Knoxville, so that Brownlow may now
go home and illuminate his thunders against
the goddess scoundrels who SO lately hunted
him for his life.
Rosecrans, in the meantime. has cleaned out
Chattanooga, one of the worst rebel nests in
the whole South. Mobile is trembling in the
balance. Texas is to be invaded by our vic
torious armies, and the crueties heaped upon
her Union-loving people are to be avenged.
jeff Davis must begin to see the cord pre-
pared for his own worthless neck. The great
day is fast approaching when rebellion will be
played out, when Union and Liberty will be-
come one and inseparable, to remain SO forev-
er.
Such are the prospects in the field-at the
South. But no less encouraging are the signs
for putting down rebellion sympathy and
treason at the North. Old Vermont has spok-
en-, and her voice speaks Of Union uncondi.
tional Union--to the depths of her loyal old
heart.
California has spoken, and unconditional
loyalty claims a majority in the Golden State
of 10000, where recently Copperheadism as
sumed to have a legitimate home.
Kentucky has spoken, and Bramlette, I'M
condtionally loyal : willing that all things
else should fall that Union and Liberty may
survive, has become Governor by more than
$4,000 majority.
Missouri sends greetings, has proved her
devotion to the Union, and the Copperheads
denounce her as an abolition" State! as
though slave State had not right to adopt
abolition.
In Ohio Valandigham has been played out,
and Pug h has become Puke to the noble
Buckeye population, which is causing them to
nauseate out the name of so-called democra-
ey, and TO vomit up everything that savors OF
disloyalty.
In Maine next Monday the tide of victory
Is to be followed up. CoppeIheadsm will be
buried by an avalanche of at least 10000 ma
jority. AFTER Monday the rebel sympathizers
in this State are TO be known only as dead
men. whose remains will repose forever in
graves dishonored, and whose names will rot
in a nations memory.

Gen. Rosecrans' Last Tictory-- East Tenaes-
see Totally abandoned BY the Rebels.
NEW YORK, Sept. 10.
The Tribune has the following special dis
patch relative to the movements of General
Rosecrans and his army:
General Bragg has again been obliged to
give way to the superior strategy OF General
Rosecrans, and Chattanooga, the last rebel
stronghold in Tennessee, was to-day occupied
by our forces without combat. With its fall
the whole of Tennessee is redeemed from reb-
ell rule.
Headquarters Army of the Cumberland,
near Trenton, Ca, Sept. 9h.-A dispatch just
from the front conveys the intelligence that
the enemy yesterday began the evacuation Of
Chattanooga, moving eastward with all their
stores and munitions.
am informed that nothing definite is known
in regard to the operations or position OF Gen.
Burnside at the present; but from the meagre
information there is but little doubt that East
Tennessee has been totally abandoned by the
Coniederates. Gen. Critteuden is to-day
marching into Chattanooga. The utmost eff
forts are being put forth to repair the bridges
destroyed on the Memphis and Charleston
Railroad, which will soon be in operation.
