Union State Convention,

The Bangor Je6ersonian, OF this week.
contains an article deservcdly severe, on
letter of Toby Candor," the Augusta
correspondent of tho Boston Journal In
one of his letters, " Toby -" eoolly stated
that Gov. Cony was to be renominated by
acclamation-that the Convention was
only formality-that it would he III ses-
sion two hours, sc. "Toby's" intimacy
with the State Committee perhaps enables
him to foretell the action of the state Con-
veution, but his impudent way OF announc-
ing it is none the less rcprehensible. Ii
the Convention is only a formality to ratiiy
the doings of the Committee, it is exceed
inglv poor taste to blazouit so unblushing-
". A decent regard for the 6o,ooo Union
voters of Maine should induce the Com
mittce to refrain from an open asowal oil
their manipulatioris Of the Conycntlon.- -
The people of Maine will hardly submit to
an " Albany Regency" and the State Com
mittcc should fcttcr "Toby's" indiscrcct
pen, lest the voters should conclude to
manage conventions themselves.

PRESIDENT LINCOLN As An ORATOR.
Rev. NJ. d. Conway, a Virginian by birth.
and now a resident of England, writes in
an English periodical some "reminiscences
of the late President Lincoln. He thus
speaks of him as an orator. After allud-
ing to hearing an address from him in 1860,
in Cincinnati, he SAYS:
His manner of speaking in public was
simple. direct. and almost religious; he
was occasionally humorous, but rarely told
anecdotes as he did in private converse
ton; and there was no sarcasm, no show
ing of the teeth. had not listened long,
on the occasion to which refer, before
perceived that there was "A certain artistic
ability in him as public speaker, which
his audience wonld least recognize when it
was most employed. Early in the ad
dress. some adverse allusion to slavery
brought surge of misses, but when it
broke at his feet, there was the play of a
faint smile on his face as he gathered from
it the important knowledge of the exact
of Kentucky which he had to
deal with on the occasion. | have often
that Mr.. Lincoln's power as an
orator, is so little known or thought of in
Europe; aud have even found the I'M
precision that he was. as a speaker, awk |
ward, heavy and ungrammatieal. 1t is a
singular nisjudgmcnt. For we'll pro-
nounced, clear speech; for a careful and
easy selection of the fit word for the right
place; for perfect tones; for quiet, chaste
and diguiiied manner it would he hard
to find the late Presidents superior.

lie also speaks of two cases Of scandal,
which have created little excitement

nobility were represented ON the occasion,
of course-money being in the case. The
bride was attrcd in a robe of white satin
trimmed with Brussels lace, and veil of
the same fabric with a wreath Of orange
flowers. The ceremany consisted chiefly
in the bridegroom placing the ring on the
brides finger, and declaring in Hebrew
that she was welded to him according to
the rites of Moses. The pair then drank
of wine and water, aud the bridegroom
broke wincglass under his foot. the mean
ing of which was that the newly married
