The Republican Party and the Military

The Republican, or Union party, has been
represented in the army by an undivided
front. Officers and men, whatever may have
been their former party faith, could consistent
ly unite with no other party than the one
that "kept step to the music of the Union p
consequently the great Union party has alb
sorbed the military element. Governed by a
common principle, political friends at home
and in the field have heretofore acted togeth-
er, and by continued action, each in their own
way, the enemies of our constitutional gov
eminent have been overthrown.
Onr distinguished officers and brave soldiers
must be powerful auxiiaries for good in the
great conflict which remains to be settled at
the ballot-box. The questions that now agi-
tate the country are too important to be en-
dangered by inside dissensions; principles
not men, should be the foundation of our po-
litical faith.
Political adventures are ever ready to
bring forward new issues. They too frequent
ly make appeals to such means as are most
apt to disturb the smooth course of events
They endeavor to create, or magnify, different
interests, and then appeal to the selfishness Of
human nature; and would make it appear
that the rights of somebody are violated.
We have been panied to notice and learn
that this has been done by men belonging to
our own political organization. Men who
never shouldered musket in their lives have
endeavored to create an impression that the
rights of the soldier are not properly recog-
nized by the Republican party. If successful.
such course may crafty their selfish purpcs-
es, but it cannot fail to create an unhealthy
division among true and honest political
friends.
1t is not saying too much to assert that poll
ticians in an important political center have
by their acts and words, manifested DISPOSE
ton to force this opinion upon the public
Our worthy fellow-citizen, Hon. SAMUEL E.
SPRING, has been named az a candidate for
the gubenatorial nomination for many
months; prominent Republicans in the West
and East of the State early favored his NOM
ination, and he has to-day multitude of sup
porters in either section, who cannot and will
not desert him. By such strength it appears
more than probable that he will receive the
nomination. Our Kennebec advices, however
are of peculiar and striking character. Il
we can believe what we hear, it is decided
but by no means by soldiers. "that no delegate
from Kennebec County shall vote for Mr.
SPRING." and we are compelled to believe tina
acknowledged influences and purposes ar
at work. We have the satisfaction of record
ing the fact, that Portland has never connect
ed any outside issue with its party action, ant
has at conventions and at the polls Away
been ready to follow the wishes Of the party

Democracy during the War.

1t was often claimed by the Democrats, or
more accurately the Copperheads, that great
injustice was done them during the war, by
calling them disloyal, and accusing them OF
concealed sympathy with the rebellion. How
great that injustice was, viii appear on read
ing the following memorandum ofa CONVEX
sation between Mr.. Vallandigham soon after
he was sent into the rebel lines, and Mr.. Ould,
the rebel commissioner. Here is what Mr..
Vallandigham said, as reported in the recent
ly published diary Of rebel war clerk:
He says if we can only hold out this year
that the peace party of the North would
sweep the Lincoln dynasty out of political ex-
istence. He seems to have thought that our
cause was sinking, and feared ace should sub

BEAUTIFUL PICTURKs.-Mr. w. j. Holland
of Springfield, Mass, has just issued two very
beautiful engravings, drawn by F. o. c. barley,
and engraved by Sartain the design, as well as
the execution of which, must commend them
in an unusual degree to the popular favor. The
first of these pictures is called Thinking of
Home" and represents a soldier on lonely
picket station, surrounded by wintry and des-
olate landscape, leaning, wrapped in his heavy
capped coat, against his faithful horse, and study
ing, by the uncertain light of the moon as it
breaks through wild and drifted clouds, the
outlines of a miniature which he holds in his
hand. The figure, face, and attitude of the
soldier are excellent, and the accessories have
all life-like and touching truthfulness.
As a companion piece to this we have in the
other picture "The Soldiers Home, - the
scene to which the thoughts of that lonely
watcher on his remote and perhaps dangerous
station are fondly turning. A fair young
mother sits beside her evening fire; at her side
little child is kneeling with small hands
clasped while it lisps its simple prayer; in
cradle near babe is sleeping peacefully, while
third child with its scattered playthings COM
pletes the group. The sweet face Of the mother
is upturned and her eyes are fixed on the por-
trait of her husband which hangs above the
fireplace, their abstracted expression plainly
showing that her thoughts are rather with the
soldier far away than with the little wor-
shipper at her knee. Through the uncurtained
window, the moon looking forth from windy,
drifting clouds, sheds a cold, wintry light and
forms a subtle link of connection between this
cheerful home scene and that other cherries
and desolate one. M b8 Veft sl
The story which these pictures tell is one
which every eye can read at a glance, and
which has had SO many reaEzations within the
knowledge and experience of all, that its ap-
peal to the heart is instant and irresistible.
Every one, we should think, would wish to pos
sess copies Of these engravings.

Letter from Hon. John J. Perry,
HIS NAME FROM THE GUBER
NATORIAL CANVASS.
OxFORn June Q 1919

OXFORD, June 9, 1866.
To the Editor Of the Press:
At the Republican State Convention in
1852, my name was used as candidate, and
without any special effort on my part, as my
friends well know, 1 received very creditable
support. At the first and only ballot the vote
stood as follows: Abner Coburn $50; John j.
Perry 176; Joseph Fl. Williams ss; Nathan
Farwell So, and scattering A; giving the sue
cessful candidate just the number requisite
to nominate him. At that convention vote
was passed authorizing representation to towns
and plantations which had neither chosen nor
sent delegates to the convention. Taking ad-
vantage of this vote, which was undoubtedly
passed with the very best intentions by ma
jority of the convention, set of spurious
delegates were introduced, composed Of gen.
tlemen who very conveniently happened to be
present, and who, so far as was concerned,
settled the case against me, for not one Of
them, as 1 was told by my friends present,
voted for me. acquiesced in the result, and
gave the nominee Of the convention my
hearty support.
The very next year, against the usages of
the party, Governor Coburn was defeated
and the nomination given to distinguished,
Douglas Democrat, who has since filled the
gubernatorial chair very acceptably to the peo-
pie Of the State. Within the last six months
numerous personal and political friends have
by letters ssand otherwise, expressed desire
that l would again be candidate, kindly ten
dering their influence and support. In look
ing over the field, 1 find it already occupied by
| the friends and supporters of other candi-
| dates, not one of whom could not myself
support, if fairly and honorably nominated.
The nominee is conceded 10 Western Maine,
and to multiply candidates will not tend to
the harmony Of the Republican party. Then
again, while have always had great faith in
the people, and upon all occasions have been
willing to entrust them with my political in
terests, have no ambition 10 launch out my
little barque, with interested politicians stand
ing at the helm. Three out of four of the
last Republican State conventions, have select
ed distinguished gentlemen for candidates,
who when nominated had been but few
months in the ranks Of the party; if this
usage has ripened into precedent, then find
myself ineligible to the place: for it SO hap
pened was among the very first who went
into the Republican organization as long ago
as 1858. In view of all these matters here
by withdraw my name from the canvass, and
in closing, beg leave to tender to my personal
and political friends throughout the State, my
sincere gratitude and most profound thanks

SCIENTIFIC LECTURES AT WEsTBRooK
SEMINABY.-Iti is always pleasant thing to
note any especial signs Of vigor and efficiency
in the various institutions of learning among
us; any token that those now in train
ing for the active duties and responsibilities of
life appreciate the value of knowledge, and are
willing to make unusual exertions to gain it.
During the Spring Term at Westbrook Semi
nary, the suggestion was made that course
of familiar lectures on some special scientific
subject, would prove source of interest and
profit to the students. The latter caught at
the suggestion with avidity, and theoretically
proceeded to put it in practice. Through
their efforts arrangements were made, and
money raised to defray expenses, and the re-
suit was course of twelve admirable lectures
delivered by DIR. T. A. Foster, on Physiology
and Hygiene illustrated by skeleton and elab-
crate diagrams. The experiment proved so
successful that it is being repeated the pres
ent term. Mr.. Edward s. Morse, of this city,
the accomplished Special Curator of the
Portland Society of Natural History, has COM
menced series of six lectures on Zoology
which are illustrated by carefully prepared
diagrams, specimens and microscopes. These
lectures, 1t should be understood, though lniti-
ated at the instance of the teachers of the in
stitution, yet owe their support wholly.to the
spirit and enterprise OF the scholars, who at
tend them in large numbers. manifesting an
interest and an intelligent spirit of inquiry in
relation to the subjects treated of which is
most gratifying.
We have pleasure in chronicling these facts
because they furnish evidence that the Semi
nary at Westbrook is no dull abode of mere
routine, but a live Institution, where thought
is quickened and knowledge gained which can
not fail to be of value.
