BANGOR, ME., September 9.-HOn. HASNIBAL
HAMLIN addressed large meeting hero last eyon-
ing. In the course of his remarks, he says the
Government must be restored in the principles of
justice, equality and liberty. God forbid that the
States should ever resume their place, except on
these principles. lie would rather transmit the
struggle to the next generation than have the
question settled on any other terms. We cannot
consent TO any restoration that does not protect
the loyal men Of the South who stood by the flag
when It denied support. He was willing the
traitors and their allies should remain in the
country; but if he had the power he would hang
at least some half dozen Of the leaders WHO got ~
the rebellion and murdered three hundred thou
sand of our loyal soldiers. He believed in A.
JOHNSON, rs wrong as he was, and our Con-
greSsional representations as they are. lie de-
nounced tho recreancy Of the President He then
reviewed at length the course Of tho President
charging him with the usurpation OF powers not
delegated TO him by the Constitution. Congress
had done all il could, though not all we could
desire. Impartial suffrage, without distinction
OF race or color, would have been our wish. Con-
rress has done next best thing If the south n to
gain larger representation in consequence Of the
abolition Of slavery. Who will have been the
yictors in the late Congress2 Did we fight the
rebellion down only to give the South more power

counts Of the growing crops, and am sorry
10 learn Of their gloomy condition in some
districts Of our own State. Here we had
Iight wheat crop. Oats, rye, meadow grass,
and early potatoes are far above an average.
Pastures have been good, offering abundant
subsistence for all the stock, which is now
fat. The corn crop, now secure from
drought, is also above an average. On the
whole we have substantial reasons to make
Of all good for his merciful rewards for our
labors. In this we can and do rejoice; but
beyond this, we do not look, for we cannot
turn our faces in hope to Washington, nor
TO our own capital. In the midst.of Gods
rich blessings in a bountiful harvest, the
| heart sickens when we turn to look on the
condition of political affairs. 1t seems to
me that the only hope for the whole coun-
I try is to be found in a radical change in the
/ policy Of the party now in control Of both
| Federal and State Governments. The sue
cess Of JoHNsoE's policy would act like q
/ charm on both sections of our great and
! glorious country. 1t would, if carried out,
soothe and harmonic the discordant feel

I acquiescent South. She fought calamity in
what she thought a just cause she was not

nobly submitted 10 all the demands Of the
victors-confdingly laid down her arms
| and returned, in an impoverished condition,
to peaceful pursuits, not doubling that she

! States, subject only to the requirements OF
| the Constitution and laws as they were.
All this was fully implied by the terms of
| the surrender. As Mr.. SEWARD said then,
States "must all be free, or all be slave"
This was said with reference TO African
slavery but now, that that is gone, 1t will
apply with equal, if not more force, 10 our

held as conquered territory, and the great
| North remain free. She will have TO yield
to the same tyrants and become slave, OF
subject to a central despotism, from which
hope she has the will and the power to

franchise law, when the time comes to

against President Jackson for his war upon
the United States Bank, as are the authori-
ties Of that municipality to-day with Presi-

store the Union in all is integrity. Prosi-

Ar LAsT.--Wo presume that nos.a of the

shameless Of them can any longer attempt
70 make political capital by endeavoring to
ignore that doctrine. Yesterday the matter
was clearly reduced to practice. In the

ever why these colored delegates should not

themselves yesterday, we do not pretend "a
say; but LEI the matter be distinctly known,
everywhere, that negro equality among the
Radicals is now San accomplished fact in
