Anew Phase of the Governor Question.

We had supposed that the Governor ques
ton had been so thoroughly discussed by the
newspapers of this State that there was very
little more to say about it. We were quite
prepared to let the case go to the jury which
will meet at Bangor next Thursday. Is was
all mistake. There is still new light, in
which the matter has not hitherto been con-
sidered. The Star makes the following asser-
ton:
We charge and can prove that men who are
under pay as Government officers, are devot-
ing days and weeks to the work of going
among the farrSers of Western Maine and
telling them that Gen. Shepley is johnson
man, and that Chamberlain IS a Copperhead.
The Star furthermore states that these Gov
eminent officers are employed in the Custom
House, but distinctly and fully absolves both
Collector Washburn and Mr.. Spring from any
completely in these disreputable maneuvres.
Now we beg to say, in the first place, that
we don't intend to support any Copperhead
for Governor of this State, nor any johnson
man, unless the President experiences a
change of heart-or brain; secondly, that we
do intend to support, cheerfully and heartily,
Gen. Shepley, Or Gen. Chamberlain, if either
of them should be nominated at Bangor: and
thirdly, that if any Republican has been so
foolish and unjust as to stigmatize men who
are prominently before the party as candidates
for that nomination, as Copperheads or john
SON men, we utterly disclaim any sympathy
with him in such a course.
Having said this, we may perhaps be per-
mitted to observe that Mr.. Spring is our first
choice tor Governor, and that his opponents
have deserved at least portion of the CEN
sure which the Star lavishes upon the oppo-
nents of Gen. Chamberlain and Gen. Shep-
ley. The Star relies upon reported conversa-
tions, in support of its statement. We have
no desire to explain away or deprecate the
testimony upon which the Star relies; yet it is
proper to call attention to the fact, well known
to lawyers, that no two witnesses, however
honest. were ever known to report CONVEX
sation exactly alike. We do not rely upon any
verbal testimony, but upon printed documents,
to prove that Mr.. Spring has been misrepre-
sented in this canvass by men as foolish or
reckless as the men may be of whom the Star
complains.
At the Chamberlain meeting in Bangor last
week, Mr.. T. FL. Garnsey said he was opposed
to Mr.. Spring because Mr.. Spring had opposed
the European G. North American railway
Anybody who chooses can look into the legis-
lative reports during the terms OF Mr.. Springs
service at Augusta; and whoever does SO will
find his name recorded as voting in favor of
every measure calculated to forward that great
undertaking. The Portland correspondent of
the Bangor Times not long since undertook

THE LONG AGO.

o, a wonderful stream is the river of Time
| As it floats through the realm of tears
With a faultess rhythm and a musical rhvme
And broader sweep and surge sublime,
| As 1t blends in the ocean OF years.
How the winters are drifting like flakes of snow
AND the summers like birds between.
And the years IN the sheai how they come and bev o,
On the rivers breast. with its ehb and flow
| As ii glides in the shadow and sheen.
There is a magical isle up the river Time,
Where the sofiest Ofa are playing;
There's coudless sky and tropical cline.
And song as sweet as a vesper chime
Aud the JuneS with the roses are stravin0
And the name of The isle is the Long Ago.
And we bury our treasures there
There are brOws of beauty and bosoms of sno,,
mere are heaps OF tdust-O, we loved them SO;
AND there are trinkeIs and Iresses of hair,
lhere are fragments of song that nobody sings.
And parts OF infants prayers!
There's Lutte unswept and harm without s,rino.
mere are broken VOWS and pleces of rings.
And garments our dead used TO wear
mere are hands that waved when the fairy shore
BY the mirage is lifted in ar;
anu soAet tlhes we hear, through the turbulent roar
'"eet voices We heard in the days gone before.
When the wind down the river is fair.
}! remembered for aye be that blessed isle.
AL the day of life I'LL night
v hen the evening glows with Its beautiful smile
ana our eyes ire closing in slumbGr awhile
May the greenwood of soul be in SIGHT

doing all they can to rebuild the sectional tab.

thus pursues different policy:
II the South is scctionalizcd again, our
troubles are not over If politicians engineer

then the hammer will fall on us again. II the
ahtagonlsm IS maintained between the North
ana lne South, OF course We will be crushed. -

come unit, just III the same proportion will
the North become united against us What
the South requires for its safcty-to say moth.

Ana II we yield no more, We must yield at least
enough tor this True the South can take nm
