A gentleman writing from Kittery Point
says: Enclosed please find $500, for
which send me the UsioS and JOURNAL for
one year, " u Is no, Johnson paper; but
ifit is, please return the money" "lf the
Court know herself" friend c., "and she
think she do" the position Of the JOURNAL
is not doubtful. We get letters from all
parts Of the county bctruyins tho same
feeling. A gentleman from Alfred writes:
Our Postmaster has been superseded by
a Copperhead, Silas Derby, the incumbent
under Buchanan. Thank God, there Is no
Johnson Republican in Alfred. It's good
feannreiof the present crisis that the rank
and file Of our party are firm and united
though few sore. headed leaders like Sew.
ard and johnson fail. We follow their
lead, hope, no more forever. We will
whip them in this county, moro decidedly
than ever, If they will Dust few more
Postmasters, and Federal officers. We are
all alive rs well rs terribly indignant this
way. Many Of MS considering the party
traitor in the White House, are constrained
to sing. Fly swim around yc wheels Of
time. Give the copper Johnsons their dc.
serts in the Journal, and the Union boys
will do 30 ut the Ballot Box soon."
From Limerick gentleman writes: ave
shall hold our own IN this town, and gain
In Limingtou. No Johnson men, except
tho coppcrhcads, in this section. Nail that
johnson copperhead lie about Capt Bur
banks being a supporter of my policy. lie
is as true as steel Keep the ball moving,
and we viii elect the hero Of Round Top,
the soldier and christian gentleman, for Gov.
ernor, and return to congress John Lynch,
than whom for Representative we never
had better" .......
i Another from Kcnnebunk Port says:
@Our caucus for nomination Of Reprcscn-
tatiye was the largest and the most cnthusi-
astic We have had for years, a thorough
organization was affected, and Albert Per-
kins was nominated and he will be elected.
The copperheads are the only supporters Of
Johnson in this section" From South
Berwick, North Berwick, York, Buxton,
Sanford, and Wells we have letters giving
the same accounts. The people are in ear
nest and with n long pull n strong pull, and
q pull altogether, we will win here and we
win win everywhere! 200. -.....
We arc satisfied that an article in last
weeks paper did injustice to a worthy man
I'VE refer to John II. Buricigh, Esq, of
South Berwick. Mr.. B.'was appointed
delegate to Johnson's Convention ut Phila-
ielphia, and then the coppcrheads had the
presumption to nominate him without his
knowledge or consent as their candidate for
senator in this county, which dishononble
position he absolutely refused by letter to
accept; and as the Capt. himself says, "be-
fore he would vote with party that OPP
posed the war to PUT down the Rebellion,
he would cut his right hand off," Capt.
II. II. burbank Of Limerick was also mp
pointed delegate without his knowledge
or consent Capt. Burbank Is as much Of
supporter Of the trcacherous Andrew
Johnson a. We are, and not a rht more, and
has no more Of IN idea Of following John
son md the copperheads into the rebel
camp than he has Of going hack to Ander-
sonville and Libby prisons, where the south
en wing Of the Democratic party attempt.
cd to siarve him and others because they
were soldiers in the army Of the Union.
He is nj work with all his wonted vigor and
energy for the success Of tho Republican
cause. Will the copperheads please make
some more nominations and appointments
for the Johnson Tany in the cool old Dir.

by public opinion to allow Phil Sheridan s
