We have recently had two talkative gentle
men, of the highest official standing travelling
over the Western Country, protesting their love
for and their Difference to the people. Well,
here we have the people speaking for themsel-
yes. They have heard the cali of President
johnson and Secretary Seward to repudiate
their members of the last Congress and choose
new ones favorable to the Executive policy of
making the rebel interests paramount in the
work OF reconstruction-and here is their ans
wer! 1t is as decided as Names response to
the rebel fire upon Fort Sumpter, and it is in
the same vein. 1t heralds, too, the same una
nimity throughout the loyal country. The voice
OF Vermont and of Maine will be re-echoed
next month by Pennsylvania and Ohio, and in
November it will ring from Massachusetts.
through New York and over the prairies of the
great West. Everywhere the masses are TAX
ing up the Presidents taunt, and, having sup
pressed treason at the Southern end of the line,
they will quelch its political favoritism at the
Washington end The thing is settled, and, for
the present, Maine is the settler.

ANEcDoTE OF Mr.. PIERPoNT-A correspon-
dent of the Boston Advertiser sends to that
paper the following:
The death of this venerable gentleman calls
to mind q little history related to the writer by
Paul Allen, an eccentric poet and editor in
Baltimore, who had the honor of first nomin-
ating General Jackson for the Presidency
Mr. Pierpont and John Neal were partners in
the dry goods business in that city about 1876
49,. While thus engaged, they formed, with
Allen and DIR. Watkins, who was afterwards
employed at the Treasury Department in
Washington, and three other literary wits.
what they called the "Delphian Club" which
met one evening in each week for literary ex-
ercises and entertainment; their numbers be-
ing strictly confined to seven. Mr.. Pierpont
was the life of these meetings, which were
productive of rare enjoyment to all the mem-
bers. Ono evening it was among their exer-
cises to produce four lines of the sweetest po-
etry, to convey the prettiest idea, and contain
the others in this performance. These were
his lines
"Pleasure comes in car Of purple,
Purple car that's drawn By doves,
Doves that both the car and her pull,
Pull where'er the zephyr moves"

STATE PRISON Politics. A gentleman
who has been in the government employ at
Thomaston, has lately been pardoned out
through the Influence of some of his Democrat
ic friends and has returned to his former
home.
As was most natural he called upon his
friends to express his gratitude. After the
first salutations were over,h proceeded to give
some pleasant "reminiscences of his cloister life.
He bore his unequivocal testimony to the worth
and character of the Warden, spoke of him as
kind-hearted, considerate man, and said he
liked everything about him but his politics
"He was an awful Republican" Then turning
to his benefactor, with the utmost sincerity
he said-"Why, my dear sir, you'd be surpris-
ed, more than taoo thirds of all the gentlemen
associated with me in the institution acere
Dimokrats" W Is
We never remember to have seen before any
statistics respecting the political procivities of
the gentlemen who are in the States service
at Thomaston, hence we cannot youch for the
accuracy of the foregoing statement We GER
tainly are not disposed to contradict the testi-
mony of one who has had the best opportunity
ior learning tnc IactS from personal ODSerVa-
ton, and who could have no motive in misrep-
resenting them to his friends and benefactors

narrative, Mhich can be proved. The Argus is

ELECTION IN PoRTER.-The Republicans
did well yesterday. They gave the gallant Cen
Chamberlain t'oenty majority, the same, for
Hon. Sidney Perham for Representative to

David Lord, Esq, Republican tried and true,
was elected Representative by Porter, Brown

Nahum Morrill, of Auburn, who was put on
the Copperhead ticket in the ID Congressional
District in place of Whitcomb, received ONLY
the votes of that party.
Mr.. Perham walked over the course like a
giant.
The Copperheads appear to feel somewhat as
they did when the rebel army surrendered to-

The Address of the Conservative Executive
Committee contains the following:
FIRST We propose to amend the Constitution, eth
er through The instrumentality of a new conven-
ton OF the General Assembly, as shall be deemed
best by the General Assembly itself, so as fully
10 re establish civil and religious liberty, and rem
state every voter, every clergyman, every teacher,
in his ancient rights and privileges. To do this It
will he necessary 10 sweep away every vestige OF
the @oa'h OF loyalty'' and Registry law, aid ac-
cordinely we pronose TO sweep away every yes
tge oe them. We further propose TO restore
promptly TO the people, the power of filling all the
otfres which were vacated by the ousting ordi-
nance and which are now lied by the Cover
Yor's appontees. The incumbents, If they wish
10 remain in Office, must procure ratification of
their appointment by the people. In other words,
we propose that an especial election be held at the
earliest practicable day for filling these offices in
the proper way. We further propose to throw
the courts of Justice open to everybody, so that
certain remedy shall be afforded for injury TO per-
SON. property or character, by repeal ling that sec
tion Of the Constitution which exemps military
men acting under authority from the legal conse-
Quences of Illegal acts. We further propose 10
exempt churches, cemeteries, charitable institutions
and furniture or household property, not worth
more than $500, from taxation. We furthermore
propose TO restore TO the State if it shall be found
lawful, the invaluable public property which has
been set apart to meet her Liabilities, and which
has been corrupty delivered over or sold 10 cer-
tain individuals for comparatively tridlng consid-
ertions, and which acts Of sale transfer are, in
all probability, illegal. We further, propose to
bring every functionary to justice who has been
accessory 10 the overthrow, by violence. of tht
elected iudiciery, 10 the murder Of citizens by
armed bands, acting under military authority, afte
pes,e was restored and martial law revoked; o
to the imposition, by means of forged and fraudu
lent elections returns of any law or ordinance OF
the State. We furthermore propose that Mis-
souri, shall refuse 10 vote for the odious Conslit,
tonal Amendment emanating from the "Centri
Directory' in Washington, one of the evil efecl
of which would be 10 put the State in the diemm
of forfeiting part of her representation in Congrs
or comforting the hesufrage on negroes-a dilemma Il
which she has been Willingly placed by Radica
Senators and some of her neutrality-suspicious.
