County Temperance Convention.

The Cumberl and County Temperance As
ISOLATION will meet at FREEPoRT on Tuesday,
18th instant, at Q o'clock in the afternoon, in
the Congregational meeting house, and con-
tinue through the evening.
That the friends of Temperance In Freeport
will be in attendance in goodly numbers hard
iy admits of a doubt. We hope also that ths
sieighboring towns will be well represented
Yarmouth and North Yarmouth, Cumberland,
Pownal, Durham and Brunswick are especial
" reminded of the occasion.
II one man only In each of those towns
would take the matter in hand, and as a friend
IF the cause make business of IT. the result
would doubtless be larger County meeting
han we have had for several years, except
that in Falmouth, which for numbers and In
terest was abnndantly satisfactory. Or, if one
.co nan in each of the towns named would
make the attempt, perhaps the success would
De even greater. ..estses58ss .srassr.t
We trust there will be spirit Of emulation
which in SO worthy a cause Is every way
commendable-in the places indicated, to Sc
cure atarge representation. We shall be very
anxious to learn which town succeeded best !;
and measures will be taken at the Convention
to ascertain the fact with accuracy.
A very cordial invitation has been given BY
the friends of Temperance in Freeport to at
tend the Convention, and an entertainment
proiered which their well-known hospitality
rendered quite superfuous. A kind reception
by the good people ofFreeport is to be expect
ed as matter of course. ag
On the other hand, we can promise them
speakers whose interest in the cause, and
whose manner of presenting it, viii fully COM
pensate for the trouble of any arrangement
that may be made for their reception. Gen.
DOW and Mr.. Walton are pledged to be there,
ana our Representative to Congress elect,
hon. John Lynch, will not fail to be present
IL MS engagements shall allow. Other gentle
men from this quarter, not less earnest at least,
ire sure to attend, and add their testimony to
he value OF the cause, and the urgent neces-
ity for its vigorous prosecution. 1908
Let us see, brethren, in the name of our
common humanity" ii the meeting at Free
.ort cannot be made the largest, the most in
teresting, and one that shall tell the most pow
erfully on the cause, of any similar meeting
ever held in the good old County OF Cumber-
land Temperance JaurnGt.

REBEL ExAsPERATIoN.-The Richmond
editors seem to be greatly disturbed at the
readiness. shown by the people Of Atlanta to
fraternize with Gen. Shermaa's army. Gu
Democratic campaign managers are affected
ih the same way, because they have the theor,
to uphold that the war policy OF the Admins
tration has terribly exasperated the rebels
who fought US SO good-natnrediy at the frs
battle of Bull Run! 1t Is hard work to max,
these facts fit the theory, for In no southern
localities to which our troops have penetrated
have the residents shown such bitterness and
sheer malice as in Alexandria, in the very first
days OF the var, or at New Orleans, long be-
fore the adoption of the emancipation policy.
AS to the contempt Which was then mingled
with southern hatred, and shown particularly
by women and children, it. has entirely disap-
peared and in place of it is solid respect,
which will yet serve as the basis of more ami
cable qualities. All Of the Chicago theories
are failing about this time. stq

there will in due time be room for others to be

Soldiers in different parts of the State won
lowed to remain at home, but the government
authorities only transfer from one hospital to
another, and cannot officially recognize any
arrangements for the soldiers except at hos
pital, and consequently will transfer no more
to this or any other State, than tie beds in the
hospital will accommodate. This may explain
to many the reason why their requests for
transfers have not been granted as speedily as
they may have desired. Letters pour in eve
ny day upon the Governor asking his influence
for the transfer of this soldier and that one,
almost without number. He has no time
even to answer all these letters and explain
why he cannot accede to their wishes, but
merely files them away to be acted upon when
the state of the hospital shall be such as to
warrant his asking for more men to be sent
here, without having his requests passed over
in silence or refused. He has, all along, been
doing all he could and as fast as he could to
procure the transfer to this State of all our
sick and wounded soldiers.

Can. McOlernard.

We denied the other day, the statement
that this Illinois gentleman was supporter
of Mcclellan, on the ground thar nc nau eA-
pressed the utmost contempt for McCleuans
military course and regarded him as noun

cent letter from Gen. McClernard In favor OF
Mcclellan. and pledging support because

Mcclellan was nominated and is presented
on platform which declares, "that after four
gears offailure to restore the Union by the
experiment of wal, justice, humanity, liberty
and the public welfare demand that immediate
efforts be made for cessation of hostilities."
We frankly confess that if MeClernald can
look for an honest man, standing on such a
platform, to continue the use of force to put
down rebellion, and to preserve the Union at
all hazards, even if blood should .fo,c and
slavery be swept away" then we did mistake
in predcating any. judgment of what he viii
now do upon his part action, words or status
This we kno,D: but little over two years
since, a distinguished gentleman Of this state,
a gentleman well known to our citizens, and
whose word requires no endorsement, travel
led in the cars with General McClernard in
one of the Middle States. It was at the very
time Gen, McClellaeB fitness to remain at the
head Of the Army Of the Potomac was being
canvassed with intense feeling, and when his
removal was demanded by what the democrats
termed the radical supporters of the admins
tration. At that time, and in conversations
held with McClernard by the gentleman re-
ferred to, the former took occasion to venti-
late Little Mac" most uusparingly; he made
no concealmsnt of his contempt for his mac
tive, hesitating policy, and his views were ex-
pressed in a spirit by no means lacking in Bit
terness.
We are aware that McClernard was subse-
quently placed under a cloud at Vicksburg,
for some alleged unmilitary act, and though he
was restored we think to his command, it is
possible that he became soured and changed
his views OF men and things on this account.

Mr.. E. W. LOCKE, the army bailaddist and
poet, has written new campaign song which
he has set TO music, and which has been neat
ly printed, in convenient cheap form, by Ste

Locke intended it for the use OF the Mcclellan
Clubs. In the language Of the Argus, while
speaking of another song, at appears to be a
stirring song and we commend it to the atten-
ton of campaign clubs" NJ bkA

the national flag represents, in the following
pointed language: ss.
81 do not believe that any man who buys
the bunting, buys right to misuse the flag,
even in bis own grounds, and, as soldier,
should deem myself false to my commission,
if did not rescue the Gag from misuse and
contempt, over even the sacred altar, The
flag is an idea, a voice, seeptre of empire
unpurchasable by man. The whole nation, by
its chief, speaks through it. Custom permits
a certain use OF it in cases where the national
sovereignty Is supposed to take an interest, as
in distress or deaths, chiefly maritime, But /

France and italy.

No secret hasbeen better Kept than the trea-
ty which has been made between these Pow
ers. 1t Is now published and creates some ex-
element in certain quarters. 1t Is well known
that French bayonets have for long time
protected the Pope, and but for such protec-
ton he would have been compelled to leave
the Eternal City and seek place of safety
elsewhere. By this new treaty the French
troops are to evacuate Rome within two years,
and so far as that goes great wrong will
come to an end. But Italy has engaged to
respect the temporal rights Of the Sovereign
rontif and assume portion of the papal
debt. That must produce an outburst OF in
algnation on the part of the Garibaldians.
lney VIII ask with much emphasis what right
nAS Tue french Emperor to impose terms Of
any kindS This question will yet bring Louis
Napoleon to some grief and Victor Emmanu-
81 Will not sit easy on his throne. Cayour is
dead and this King has no minister to all his
shoes, and Louis Napoleon has him in a tigbt
place, for this ambitious Emperor has no love
for Turin which has been "the cradle Of = fras
Italy" Garibaldi may yet appear with his
charmed legions' before the walls of Rome
and then will commence a revolution which
may shake Europe to its centre. The Spirit
of Liberty is only smothered, and may yet
burst into flame.
