The Democrats of Maine, according to
the Portland Adgertlscr, have given force
to The general sentiment Of the party by
selecting the right sort of men to repre-
sent t!.em in the democratic National Con
vention. Says the Ad1ertiser:
The election of delegates to the CHS
cago convention was unanimously made,
and the gentlemen elected are mon of the
highest order OF character, intelligence
and influence. They are conservative pa
triots, and war men to the extent that is
necessary, and peace men VIXEN peace can
be honorabiy acquired. They are Union
men to the quick-and yet not either ab-
clifton or pro-slavery men. They are not
men who would cling to the South for the
sake Of slavery, or would abandon the
South for the sake of abolition The con
veution separated as it had proceeded wi h
the best OF feelings, aud a clear purpose to
