"Onoe more to the Breach, dear friends"

From every part Of the State We have
cheering words Of the success OF the Union
cause, and the entire discontinue OF the
friends Of the rebellion. Kennebec, Andres
coggin, Pcnobscot, Cumberland and the fur
ther eastern counties are alive with the fire
of patriotism which will consume the oppos-
ers Of the Government, and once more vindi-
cato the loyalty Of the Pine Trec State
There will DO vote thrown for Judge Cony
that will astonish the most sanguino of his
friends, and his election Is already conceded
by upwards Of 10000 majority. From facts
and figures in our possession we'bclicvc that
tho majority will be nearer $4,000. No party
since the world began, occupying tho dis
graceful position the copperheads assumed in
Portland, could withstand tho murdcrous Grc
Of tho Union batteries which is daily deci-
mating their numbers. Men worship the
rising, not the setting sun, and that sun
which will not, shall no, 90 down, is that
ono whose beams warm tho hearts Of patri-
OTIS all over tho land, tho sun OF Liberty and
Union. Each successive day is branding the
names Of the enemies Of the Government
with that indcliblc stain which our Fathers
sank deep into tho record of tho Tories OF
tho Revolution, and which those men OF u
later day branded upon tho name Of FEEDER
alist.
Let us not be drawn aside from the duty
OF supporting an impcrillci country, by side
issues which tho opposition are trying to lug
into this contest. Until this war is closed
and tho supremacy Of the United States ae-
knowlcdged. there is only ono issue before
the people, and that is the duty Of support
iuy tho Government or its enemies. No
patriot will this day hesitate which course to
pursue, no patriot will delay, no man who
loves his country will cease his labor until
his Government shall DO secure FROM foes
without rs well rs foes within.
Vermont sends greeting to Maine, and in
vites her to stand shoulder to shoulder with
her ut tho ballotbo rs our dear boys are
now standing together on tho battlefield
She will do ii. now, until and after our ban
ncr shall again wave with "not stripe
erased or polluted, nor single star obscurcd;
bearing for its motto no such miserable in
terrogatory as-what is oil this worth nor
those other words Of dclusion and folly
Liberty first and Union afterward; but every
where, spread all over in characters Of living
light, blazing on oil its ample foldsas it floats
over tho sea, and over the land, and in every
wind under the whole heaven, those other
words dear to every American hcart-Libcrty
and Union, now and forever, one and insepa-
rablc."

HARD SWEARING. There is considerable
hard swearing among Paris, Anderson and
Emery Democrats of this vicinity Mt Bion
Bradbury's latest attempt to ride two horses,
while said horses arc travelling in opposite
directions. They say that Bradbury never
could have been nominated without tho DIS
tinct and unqualified pledge given by his con-
fdcntiai friend and mouth.piece. Sam Andcr-
son. lie emphatically announced that Brad.
bury was "as much opposed to tho war Us
any gentleman in this Convention much
so as Paris himself, who denounced "this
wicked, this unholy, this hcllish war;" And
now Bion has the ingntitudo to turn upon
the man who got tho nomination for him,
and charge him with ~ libel upon himself
and the Democratic party" by making such
statements But they'll swallow it, for
though thoy arc opposed to "this hclliSh
war," they don't possess votes enough to
carry the election, and so Bion, like Greeley,
accepts tho nomination, but "spits on tho
platform" to gull somo honest AMI really
loyal men into his support.-Bangor Times.

whose people are SO loyal, whose

The Lesson Of Patriotism.

Below will DO found the position of John
Brough, the Union candidate for Governor
in Ohio, as defined by himself at recent
meeting. Our readers will compare for
themselves the position Of vallandigham.
Mr.. BOugh's opponent, or that of Bradbury
for whom we are solicited to vote because
hc does not believe with Mr.. Bough that q
man owes allegiance to his country first, last
and always. but because, he takes higher
and broader ground and says, ain crisis of
this kind, ii is principal of my Democracy
that the frs. great duty every man owes is
to his-PAIrY!
1t is scarcely necessary for mo to tell this
vast audience here assembled, that IRON tho
DAYS of my boyhood up to this hour, have
been ranked with the political party known
as .thc Democracy and that from my on
trance into it until now have never waver-
cd in its support or been false to 1t. am
in party distinctions, and all things pertain
ing to the general policy Of tho country, q
Democrat to-day, as over have been and
as hope to remain. But in crisis Of this
kind, it is principal Of my Democracy that
tho first great duty every man owes is TO his
country. And although there is President
in the chair to whom have ever been polit.
ically opposed, and for whom did not vote,
vet | recognize him not as the head of a no.
| litical party, but rs the head Of tho Govern
mcnt: and as good soldier who IL fighting
in the ranks, it is my duty to obey him as
Commander-in.C Chief, without hating to ask
questions in regard to this great CONTEST
BY and by l may have something to say Of
what is being done, but at present have
nothing to say against it. 1 have differed
from Mr.. Lincoln on many questions, but

That SIN WHICH WILL NOT DE FORGIVEN
There is political, archaeological print
published ut Benton, Crawford county, Ohio,
edited by one David Tuttlo vino thus pro-
mulgatcs tho following rs his creed:
owe no allegiance to Abe Lincoln or his
scavenger, Governor Tod, or Jesus Christ
And will add further, / owe no allegiance to
any king or the theological God; or any
other God in the universe. Now, ye politi-
cal, religious or hypocrital saints, whoever
you arc, you may chew it, you may smoke
it, you may snuff it, or you may grOwl or
grunt or wag your head over what have
said.
This Tuttlc, of course, hoists the name of
VallandiSham for Governor, and thinks Val.
is u martyr just the same as does Mr.. Brad
bury. Further more, Tuttlc thinks this war
is unholy, unconstitutional and that Mr..
Lincoln is an usurper and tyrant, us will be
seen from the following:
Resistance to tyrants is patriotism. But
do not believe it is obedience to God, for
never yet heard of God who was not ty-
rant. The God OF tho Bible is an absolute
tyrant, but | do not consider him such q
pcrjurcd usurpcr or such pcrjurcd tyrant
