How TO BE BEAUTIFUL AND HAPPY.-Men and
women are naturally proud they do like to look
well, and we think it right, but do rot have any
sympat ny with that class whose disheyeled locks
fly in every direction, when with the least care
their whole heads may be made surprisingly beau
tifuL. Every white gray and faded lock may be
restored to its original color, beauty and lustre,
while the scalp is cleansed from its flying dand-
ruff, and every hair prevented from falling off
hair cover their entire head, where nov
there is none. But how this be donel BY
using Tebbert's Physiological Hair Regeneration,
which never soils the finest fabric, is richly per
tumed, has equal hair dressing, is used

The Demoerner OF lEalnc.

BANGOR, Me-, August 23-The mass
meeting of Democrats, and others, of the
eastern and middle counties in favor of the
principles Of the Philadelphia Convention,
which assembled here to-day was less nu-
merously attended than was anticipated,
though 4 very respectable audience was
present, and Hon. r. d. RICE, of Augusta,
presided. FERNANDO WOoD, who was adj
vertised to appear, did not appear. The
principal speakers were Judge RICE, Senator
DOOLTTTLE and Judge Parsons, Of Ala
bama. The following resolutions were
adopted:
Res0iUed, That the paramount ISSUE and
the issue that absorbs all others at the pre-
sent time, Is the immediate admission of all
the States to the exercise of all their rights
under the Constitution, especially of the
right of representation in Congress.
Res0lUed, That in the action of the late
Philadelphia Convention in It's resolutions
and address to the people, having in view
solely the attainment of this great object,
demand and should receive the united and
cordial support Of all patriotic men, without
reference 10 past party associations and
views.
Resolred, That in our county elections we
will vote for no man who does not openly and
avowedly indorse and support President
JOHNsoN's policy Of restoration and the re-
solutions and addresses of the Philadelphia
Convention.
The coalition have nominated G. NJ.
WESTON for Congress for this District.
It is understood that the Bangor Postofice
is to be given to Gen. MILLER, and the col
lectorship of internal revenue to Gen. J. ii.
BUTLER, of Hampton. The present incum-
bents are to be removed for their opposition
to President JOHNsON's policy.

THE term-the people-once had in this
country a definite political meaning. The
Radical press, however, seem to have got
into a confusion Of ideas in regard to it.
They are disturbed and terrified at the fire.
qucnt use that President JOHNSON makes Of
it, and one of them, the Cincinnati Gazette,
enquiries anxiously to whom it IS applied in
the Executive utterances. For is informa-
ton and relief, and that Of all others SINH
larly befogged, we will state that the Presi-
dent means exactly what Gen. WAsHNGToN,
MADISON, HAMILTON, NORRIS, PNCKNEY,
and their associates meant VIXEN in the
opening sentence Of the Constitution they
said, 1--WE the people," &c, &c They
meant the lohOie people Of the United States
The President holdsiit to mean now all that
it meant in 1889, and intends to resist all
attempts to restrict its meaning within geo.
graphical or sectional lines, or party divi-
sions. He intends, by the aid of the people,
and by appeals to their intelligence and sense
of right to overthrow the Radical party,
who threaten by the abuse of portion Of
the power entrusted to government TO
abridge the full meaning Of the term-the
people,-and by assuming itself to be the
source of authority, to radically destroy the
republican character Of our institutions.
President JOHNSON understands the peo-
pie, in the constitutional sense of the word,
to be the fountain Of all the governmental
power that can be rightfully exercised; and
that all the people, in the limits Of that
instrument, should participate in choosing
the administrators of the power they have
conferred. He rejects the doctrine that the
Radicals are the saints, and that the land
and the fullness thereof belongs to these
self-same saints. He gives a broader,
deeper, higher Specification to that august
word-the people. He was bred politically
in their service. He knows their power
He is too just to dispute their right to con-
troll, and too wise to resist their authority.
If his Radical opponents were half so wise
as he, they would understand the people bet
ter than they seem to do.

REGEsTERl REGTsTER y REGIsTERlll

On the 10th Of September-seventeen |
days hence-the work Of the Commissioner !
Of Registration Of voters under the Fran
chise law ceases in this county. We have
repeatedly urged that every loyal voter
should qualify and register, and in view
Of the shortuess Of the time remaining in
which this important duty can be per-
formed, we again admonish the public Of the
necessity Of at once attending to it. We
have not examined the list but at the last
publication Of date the 22d inst, the num-
Der Of voters who had obtained certificates
only amounted to about hgo thousand. We
are confident that if due diligence and firm
ness in demanding a fair compliance with
the law is exercised, the number Of regis
tered voters will be increased by several
hundreds, and it is Of the utmost import
ance that those yet unregistered should i'm
mediately proceed to do so.
We make this remark because of the fact
that those who have not made application,
but who are legally entitled to the privilege,
are mainly Conservatives who have hesita-
ted and postponed the matter on account Of
their objection TO the unjust and odious law
which makes it necessary, and for fear that
they might encounter difficulty and "the in
science Of Office" in the attempt to acquire
their rights befo-e the Commissioner. The
law was made by the Radicals and for the
benefit of Radicals, and the large majority,
if not all Of them, promptly and without
obstruction obtained the legal certificate, and
are prepared to exercise at the. ballot
box the tyranny and injustice which
it was the object Of the law to es-
tablish. This is the means by which the
Radical faction expect to stile the Conserva-
tive sentiment Of the people, foist its parti-
sans into Office and power, and continue the
unlimited and arbitrary control which they
now possess over the property and the rights
Of 4 large majority of the people. We adj
wise none but peaceful and legal means to
overthrow this unrepublican and abhorrent
system, and therefore entreat our Conserva-
tive friends to forego their detestation for
this outrageous law and its makers and
minions, so far, at least, as to avail themselves
Of every privilege which it has left them.
The interests in issue are too great to be
sacrificed by the indulgence of even the
natural and just contempt for the
law evinced by refusing to qualify under it,
or to permit any man who properly values
the inestimable privilege Of the franchise to
be deferred from demanding his rights,
despite the quibbling and hectoring which
seems to be part of the duty of those APP
pointed to enforce it. We insist that the
duty Of every conservative man, at the
present time, rises above such considerations,
and advise them to exhaust the last effort
to defeat the wicked devices Of the party
which seeks to hold them in its intolerant
thrall Not day should be allowed to pass
until certificates are secured, or q sufficient
reason is given why they are refused.

The CHOLERA AMONG THE NEGROES
We have distressing accounts Of the ravages
Of the cholera among the negroes in the
Freedmen's Hospital, near Savannah. No
alarm is felt by the whites in the city, but
there is great concern for tho unfortunate
freedmen, who are in the depths Of poverty
and ithiness, without the means Of procur-
ing the necessities Of life or medical advice
and thus exposed to this terrible scourge.
The Mayor, Council and citizens are doing
whR. they can TO arrest and alleviate the
disease. The cholera is also reported to be
extending among the negroes in Carolina.
II there were any real sympathy for the poor
negro on the part Of their pretended Radical
friends, up North, nurses physicians, medi-
cine, and other comforts would be sent down
without delay. As il is, We suspect the poor
creatures will have 10 get on, as usual, in
cases Of this kind, without tlrpir help.
