A ralseI,ood Nailed.

The following note from DR.. Fin
ley, Of Mt. Pleasant, Jefferson coun-
ty, received few days since, puts to
silence falsehood started by the ely
ing leaguers' of the abolition party:
"Mr. PLEASANT, Sept. 9, 1868.
"DEAR SIR. AS there is report
that when Gen. J. Morgan took me
from my house, and on the way to
Smithfeld, that he showed me let
ter purporting to be from Mr.. Val
landigham, and read it to me. This
whole matter is false and untrue
Morgan showed me no letter, nor did
he mention Vallandigham's name in
all the conversation / had with him,
nor / to him. So / hope this will
put this falsehood to rest, as the whole
matter is a lie.
"Yours with respect,

A WAR Democrat.

The North american, the leading eonserv
atve Administration paper Of Philadelphia,
admits that the Republican party is aa Abo
lition party, and that its members should
style themselves "Abolitionists." One OF
our city officials, who was elected as War
Democrat" declared on one of our street
corners recently, that he did not want any
longer to be called Democrat, but an
Aboitionist-- he was a AbolitioniSt--
and no Democrat, and he wanted every be
DIV to know it. The truth is, he was an
Aboitionist when he was sailing under
"War Democrat colors; but it was point
to gull Democrats to sail under Democratic
colors. Now he comes out under his true
colors--A bolition. Sic transit g'oro, a"War

g 1t has often been a query why
some men who have made their "pile"
out of the Offices to which they have
been elected or appointed by the
Democratic party, leave the party as
soon as their terms of Office are out,
and 90 over to the abolitlonists. The
editor of the Woodsfall Spirit an
swors the question satisfactorily
in reply to q correspouAa 1t says:
"Itis asubjeet we had not thought
much All Ind, when We first read
the coiial eation, it struck us that
our correspondent was putting it pref
ty strong, when he affirmed that ALL
the office holders were in the habit of
deserting the good, old Democratic
flag as soon as they went out of office;
but, on reflection there are but few
honorable exceptions. We do not
recollect at present of more than
than three or four in this county.
"But, we have been requested to
give an opinion; and, from all the evil
dence we have before us we have con-
cluded that the chief reason for the
apostacy consists in this: BECAUSE
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAVE NO OFF,
cEs TO CONFER ON THEM. Their po-
litical principles consists simply and
solely in getting an OFFICE and
the Democratic party refusing to
elect them any longer to OFFICE
they 60 to the party that has an OF.
FIcE to bestow. Father Abraham has
the disposal of numerous offices, ano
in addition to this, can create new
ones at his pleasure. If mans po
litical principles consist solely in get
ting an office or good fat contract,
the eproper place for him is in the Re
publican party. A firm and abiding
faith in the Chicago platform and the
negro proclamation leads to fortune
and to fame. Mr.. subscriber, don't
you see it,

I. will be seen that the Republican and
War Democrat (Which is the same thing)
had majority OF over 10000 votes over MIR.
Bradbury, the Democratic candidate.
This year the allies ran but one candidate
against Mr. Bradbury. The telegraph talks
about Republican gains over last year, but
how are they made? BY the scurvy trick Of
adding the War Democrat vote Of last year,
which was not cast for Bradbury, but against
him, to his vote, then counting it all Demo
cratic and thereby making a Republican mas
iority in the State OF but six thousand last
year, instead OF twenty thousand, which
were the true figures. They claims gains
upon six thousand, but has lost heavily upon
their true majority of 10000 of last year
Ii is thus that Republican gains are manu-
factured. 1t is not a poor and paltry trick
upon the public creduilty? In Maine, as ev
erywhere else, people are leaving the Ad'
ministraion party by thousands.
That State gave $4,000 majority for the
moun,ebank Lincoln over the patriot Doug
las for President. Every county in the Stats
went for Lincoln by large majorities. Every
county last year was Republican, save one,
IYork), which only gave two or three hun
dred the other way. The Democrats have
hardly carried county in Maine ior years.
This is the State, to cary which now so elates
the Republicans. Why, it is like there car
rying the Western Reserve Of Ohio.
The Republican papers are shou ling
voci'erously over this election, as il it had
been great victory. The facts are tha
last year Mr.. Bradbury. Democrat was
beaten Tor governor by 10000 majority. BY
the Republicans and War Democrats. Thi'
wear the same parties have probably abou
IA 600 majority over him. Democratic gains
six thousand votes. The Republicans arr
thankful, we suppose, that the Democratl'
gain is no larger.

The ''eldest citizens" have been in the
habit of referring to 1910 as time
when the people were enthusiastic in
support of a candidate, but hereafter
the past week must be considered the
"cap sheaf." The Democratic Town

out to be immense Mass Meetings
the people not simply turning out by

done in times of political excitement,
but by THOUSANDS! And the enthusi-
asm, what shall we say of it? To say

sion..moved through the streets shout
ing and singing g-with flags and hick-
ury bushes without number. 1t was
like moving forest hickory. Free
port never saw such a day Before. Old
Democrats fairly wept for joy at the
immense demonstration. The meeting
was held in the beautiful meadow be-
longing to Esquire Colvin, whole

course of people were addressed with
happy effect by Messrs. White, Estep

Iu n Bad Humor.

The Father and Son of the Repub-
lican seemed to be in bad humor.--
The father keeps up bis natural digni-
ty, and in speaking of DIR. Simmons,
terms him "the Deersyille Puke. y
Whether the two communications that
appeared in week before lasts Sentinel
caused Richards stomach to become
out of order and throw up a portion
of its contents, is more than We can
say. We suppose that must be so, or
the word ''puke' would not have oc-
CURED to him. lie is to be pitied.
The son, determined not to be be-
hind "dad" in slang, ends nearly every
sentence of lis attempted reply to our
article about the abolition meeting,
with his choice word, die" No bet
ter could be expected from such a
composition of effervescence. We
hope that as he is now somewhat re-
lieved of the gas that seems to trouble
him, he will rest easier, and be able to
find some one the next time he goes to
Jefferson, "to clean him off. Our
sympathies arc extended to both fath>
er and son: to the father on account
of the disagrecablo feeling in his stom-
ach when he reads a communication
from DR.. Simmons; and to the son
when he eats to many "yat-"
Bye the bye, we must tell what an
old Republican friend told us the other
day about Hatton's continual abuse
and slang of Donahue and Simmons.
Our friend asked Richard why he was
SO hard on these gentlemen. He said
the reason was, that in 1855 he could
not find language hard enough to
abuse Smith Watson; and 1860 he had
the same trouble about John G. Janis
son. lie thought as little of them
now as he did then, but for appearance
sake, he now turned his batteries on
their opponents, Philip Donahue, and
R. II. Simmons. He said by contin-
ually abusing them, lis readers would
never think Of what he said of Wat
son in 1865 or Jamison in 1860.
Can't you republish, friend Hatton
your choice articles that you wrote
about these men in 1855 and 1902
They would now look well in print.
