The Anti Liquor Law Excitement in Maine

The Augusta (Me.) correspondent of the
Boston Post writes to that paper as follows ::
The great reform movement is taking
prodigious strides in Maine. No city or
town, however obscure, is exempt from spies
and informers from the radical camp. The
tramp of their seven-league boots is heard
from every hilltop, and is echoed from every
vale. You meet them in the stage, on board
the rail car, and travelling the steamboat
They are omnipresent. You are quite as
likely to find one underneath your bed on
retiring at night, as to catch him maraud
ing over your currant and gooseberry bushes
in broad midday. Such peeking and prying,
such pursuing and mosuing such, desire to
probe, dive into, in quest of knowledge, un-
der the sanction of law, was never before
known in Maine, not even in those days
when Elders Weaver, and Peck, and Neal
Dow were the great Sanhedrins of the hour.

A MISERABLE FAILURE.

Our neighbor of the Union has come out
just as we expected, in regard to Mr.. Pen
dleton's record-at the little end of the horn.
He said:
If the ARGUS wants to know, we can show from
Pendletons record in congress that he invariably
opposed measures to raise t'men and money" for
the war.
The ARGUS "wanted to know" and the
Union produces a column of stuff about al
most everything else, but fails to 'show from
Pendleton's record in congress that he an
rariably opposed measures to raise '"men
and money! for the war" The Union fails
because the thing is impossible. The same
charge was made when Mr. Pendleton was
running for vice president. The RAIDS charged
Gen. Mcclellan with offering his services to
the rebels, and Mr.. Pendleton with voting
against supplies for the war, &c, &C., and
issued their falsehoods in Campaign docu-
ment." The Union now reproduces that old
lying campaign document-but it won't do
Both charges were exploded "higher'n q
kite" at the time.
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican, 6
republican paper, in an article under the
very pertinent and blunt title of "The True
Issue and No Lying" read its contemporaries
the following admonition in regard to THU
matter at the time:
"Let us have fair contest Let US see ant
stand to the real issue. The Union cause is no
so bad to need lies for its support, and lies viii
not help it. Gen. Mcclellan never offered hi
services to the rebels; 1fr. Pendleton did no
cote against supplies for the acar or thank Goo
that he uoted /; and the republican presses tina
are reiterating these and similar faisehoods ant
forgeries are only damaging their own cause ano
giving substantial aid to the enemy. Shame OF
them that they have so little appreciation of tn
strength and dignity of their cause and SO small
confidence in the sense and patriotism of tn

say he was Indifferent or insensible to this
manifestation. He could not prove false to
to his nature or manhood. Such welcome
as this from those who have known him first
and longest, on his return to his native city,
was highly appreciated. He had nothing
farther to say than to tender the mayor and
those whom he represented, his thanks for
this cordial welcome.
The procession then formed, the President
being accompanied by military escort. He
was cheered as he passed through the princi
pal streets, and on reaching the Marlborough
Hotel, proceeded to the portico and was there
introduced to the crowd by Gov. WORTH
After short address he retired to his apart
