A bright, Particular STAR.

Everybody knows that the Portland Star is
bright; it appears from its splenetic rejoinder
to "E.,s" communication, that the luminary is
also rather particular The Night Lamp, as
we sometimes think it ought to be called, is
very severe on e" 1t is no business of ours;
the fight may be free but we prefer to be count
ed out. The Star made up its political slate,
to the best of its knowledge and belief sc"
undertook to pass a sponge over it, and got in
to trouble accordin'. We don't blame the
Evening Glow-worm for maintaining its
ground, though it seems to us that there is a
good deal of unnecessary Ssloshing round."-
The Star speaks, for instance, OFF, s" commu-
nication appearing Tin the editorial columns"
of the Press. That, as the Twinkler must be
aware, is fib. The communication appeared
in the column which is most commonly used
for communications. The Press never shirks the
responsibility of its own utterances. 1t refuses
either to suppress or to be held responsible for
the opinions of correspondents. The attempt
of the Nocturnal Luminary to suggest re-
sponsibility which it did not dare to charge di-
rectly is violation of the Golden Rule, which
we forgive in consideration of the evident ex-
element under which the Luminary was la
boring.
There is an oracular utterance at the close of
the Stars protracted remarks, which we have
no disposition to misunderstood 1t is this.
"It we have done injustice to any man, there
are still ways of reparation. After convention,
due amount of supine obsequiousness will
correct the whole" This we understand to be
am allusion to the State convention which met
at Bangor last summer "Supire obsequious-
ness" is the Stars Characterization of the fir ank
acceptance of nomination which the Press Ia
bored to prevent. We are perfectly willing to
reconsider that matter, at any time which suits
the Stars convenience. Subsequent events
have fully justified the course of the Press, as
even the Star ought to know. We gave ex-
preston to the doubt and alarm with which a
large portion of the Republican party all over
the State looked upon the appearance of can
didate proposed by the Bangor Times and sup
ported by the johnson faction generally. 1t
was General Chamberlain's misfortune that
these mon, for purposes of their own, pro
nounced SO unanimously and vociferously in
his favor. Our estimate of them has been full
ly confirmed. In the midst of the campaign
the Bangor Times went over to Pillsbury, and
Mr.. Garnsey, who presented Gen Chamberlain's
name to the convention went over openly and
without reserve to the johnson interest The
assertions were all from what in June was the
Chamberlain wing of the party. Such being
the political character of many of General
Chamberlains supporters, while it was not gen.
orally known until the day the convention met.
that he had ever cast vote for the Republican
10 r str hot laru A..
party warmly urged the nomination of another
mana Republican SO well known and so
admirably qualified for the office as Nj Spring ?
The Portland daily press., 1866-12-22

When at last, moved by the fair and frank
presentations OF the case in the Press General
Chamberlains friends repaired their error and
gave us the greatly needed assurance that lie
had previously acted with the Republican par
ty, that assurance enabled us to accept the
nomination. His letter of acceptance set him
fully right, and drove his quondam supporters
into the Democratic ranks From that mo-
ment to this the Press has supported Gen
Chamberlain as warmly as if he had been our
first choice. We might have complained OF
the packed galleries at Bangor, ana the as
reimbursement of our delegates. we prefer ed
not to waste time in idle Complaints we did
not intend to help elect johnson man gov
ernor Of Maine under an, circumstances; but
we conceived it to be duty to yield our natu-
raj preference for a fellow-citizen to the decis-
ion of the convention. If this be obsequious,
make the most of it. ~ ''.' De-. 81.
