A Democratic Argument.

The condition of eleven of the States, adj
mitted to be still in the Union by the Press,
is, that of absolute exclusion by the other
States from their right of equal suffrage in the
Senate OF the United States, as well as in the
House of Representatives, although the Con-
stitution of the United States expressly pro-
vides as follows:
"No STATE, WITHOUT ITS CONSENT, SHALL
BE DEPRIVED OF IT'S EQUAL SUFFRAGE IN
THE SENATE."-Aduertiser.
1t seems a pity to knock such pretty, in
fantile arrangement as this on the head; but
it must be done. AS it is the offspring of the
New York World, the Advertiser will feel less
grief on the occasion. Well, then, no State
has been deprived of its equal suffrage in the
the Senate, without its consent" When
Senator Iverson, of Georgia, for example, sent
the official notice of the secession OF his State
up to the G erk's desk to be read, and declar-
ed in his seat that Georgia had determined "to
withdraw from the Federal Union" is any
body incapable of understanding words and
acts as to believe that all this was done with
out the consent of the State!

A Soldier Gone.

Died in Augusta, Me-, April 10, 1866, Hon
JEREMIAH WHEELER, aged 81 years. The
subject of this notice, at the time of his de-
cease, was member of the legal profession.
He was born in Whitefeld, Lincoln county,
where for many years he pursued his profess
sion. He was engaged in trade at the same
time, and was fayorably known to many of
our merchants. From 1e4S to 1850 Mr..
Wheeler represented his native town in tine
Legislature, and in 1858 was member of the
Senate of Maine from Lincoln county.
From the day the first gun was fired upon
Sumter, he took lively interest in all mat
tiers that tended towards the maintenance of
the Government. lie contributed literally of
his substance, and was ever active in raising
volunteers, and when in 1862 men seemed to
fail to come up to the work as he thought they
should, he enlisted as private in the army of
the country, though he was exempt by age,
and would at any time have been exempt
through physical disability, thus showing to
others noble proof of his faith by his works.
We thus find him with his musket, leaving
home, business and friends, at the call OF his
country, when, had he desired place, doubt
less he could have had it by the acceptance
Others followed his patriotic example, and in a
few days the quota of his town was full and
to spare.
He served faithfully in the army till stricken
down by disease, and when at the expiration
of nearly year he reached his home, he was
but skeleton and wreck of his former SELF
After long months of suffering, he regained
his health in measure, and was able to pur-
sue the business of life with somewhat of his
accustomed vigor and energy. His friends
fondly hoped, but the shock upon constitu-
ton naturally weak was often visible; and
about four months since, unmistakable sigrs
OF that disease which is the scourge of our
climate awakened their worst fears. To-day,
all that they have left is new-made grave,
and a memory that will be cherished by low
ing hearts till they cease to beat
The good citizen, the upright business man,
the kind husband and father, the patriot who
failed not 10 hear the call OF his country in
her time of greatest danger, has been taken
up into the presence of God, in whom he had
always an mistaken trust, and has joined the
great army of his fellows, whose nameless
graves are on hundred battle-felds, and
whose memory shall be cherished while the
great heart of man shall love Liberty, Equali-
ty and Justice. y

rhe Az of salf pefanoe.

In reply to our statement that "some of the
names appended to the calP' for the Name
Soldiers and Sailors Convention, "were used
without authority" the Bangor Times Illus
trates the art Of self-defence by saying with
great simplicity, "Most, if not all, were con-
suited by letter, and permission given ]! ouil
more amusing are the comments OF a fort-
land correspondent Of the Times, upon anoth-
er passage from the Press. we had SAID that
all the sieners ofthe call are gentlemen who
are incapable offending their influence to fur
ther schemes"-weA, certain improper schemes
heretofore mentioned in these columns
A-a-ah roars the correspondent of the Times,
"Soders of Maine! hear what this political
machine says about your comrades-that they
are Incapable of Influence" Our sweet frlend
should remember that it is one thing to be in
capable of using influence dishonorably, and
another to be incapable ofexerting any infiu-
ence.
We beg pardon of the Times for having ov-
erlooked its article until we found portion of
it quoted, naturally enough, in the columns OF
the Advertiser. The Times has rather singu-
lar nolions of what constitutes personal at
tack" We said the Times ''is politically nel-
ther fish, flesh, nor fowl" and we appeal to
the record, which shows it to be completely
out of sympathy with the Republican papers
of the State. 1.-THE opinions which the Times
advocates are Republican, we are mistaken !;
that is matter to be proved, and not a mat
ter to fly into passion about. 1t is not an
attack of any kind, still less personal" at
tack, to say that a newspaper holds ordoes not
hold certain opinions.
Oddly enough, the very number of the
Times which contains this complaint, con-
tains also a personal attack upon the Machi-
as Republican for speaking of the lack of dig
nifty in one of President Johnson's late
speeches aimed at prominent members of the
Republican majority in Congress. What is
still more curious, the Times seeks to offset
our charge by instancing our opposition to
the Colorado bill as proof that the Press is
out of sympathy with the Republican party
The Times has since seen the entire Maine
delegation in the House of Representatives
vote against that bill. Are our Representa-
tives then Republicans, or is the Times the
only Republican paper in Maine?

The HEALTH OF OUR CTTY.-Our citizens
have reason for very sincere congratulation
that at this time, when the public mind has.
not been wholly free from gloomy anticipa-
tons, the general health continues to be SO
unusually good. 1t is season of the year
when epldemics Of various kinds are apt to be
prevalent, yet nothing of the kind exists
among us. The late spring, the raw winds,
and the cold, cspriciols weather, which might
! ave been expected to pa duce diseases of the
throat and lungs, have not had that effect to
any great extent Fevers have been fewer
than usual, and despite many other circum-
stances which might be deemed un.avorable
general time OF health prevails. With the
exercise of ordinary care and precaution
there is no reason why this favorable state n
things should not continue.
