THE puRE ARricLr.-we give below
the platform in brief OF the 'grat Democ.
racy," which alone can govern the country,
restore to Us the "good old times" &c. II
is pure and natural. without any pepper, salt
or vinegar, and Is said to be just the thing
needed in Maine in orler to FREQ Ms from
taxes completely. aud give every man S4O0
u day and roast beef. Here il is:
i.-Rspudiation Of the National, State and
town debts
2.-The assumption, instead. Of the Conied-
crate debt.
3.-A rev issue OF grcenbacts to pay our
Southern brethren. who have been despoiled oi
their property.
A full, complete. universal and "const%
tutional' acauiescence in the Emancipation
proclamation, provided all freedmen "re-im-
bur.e" their unfortunate late masters.
5.-rhe restoration Of al eondscsted es-
tates.
6.-Adding the names Of the widows and Or
phans Of the noble Southern soldiers lwho %
calamity fought for State Rights and Slavery
TO the list OF government pensioners.
THE repeal Of all reconstruction laws. and
the admission OF rebel representatives to Con-
gress without qualification.
a-All white men to vote, with the excep-
ton Of such ~ held Office or cot wounded IN
Liucoln's hories, who attempted to "coerce"
our southern brethren,) and to have
universal liberty. and no man OF any other
complexion to be allowed to vote.
9.-The commencing the peacesble DISPOSE
ton Of the intelligent soldiers OF African an
cestry. In acquiescing 30 readily In the laws;
and congrstulating them, In Louisiana, South
Carolina and other States where theY embrace
nearly two-thirds Of the people. in being rep
resented and having laws made for them by 30
noble chivalry Is the few white mnn VI those
States.
i0.--The insertion Of the words "Purc white"
into the Declaration Of Independence where II
alludes to "all men being free and equal"
This is a platform around which the
''srcat Democracy" from Maine to Texas,
could rally, and upon which Pcndleton,
Pollard, Pike, Pillsbury. and all the other
vcnomous P's and bankrupt traitors md
eoppcrheads could stand in security and
loving embrace. Why should sickly
thing, of as many interpretations rs there
are changes in the moon, be iinkered md
set up for platform, when the plain, pure
article as above is more easily manufac-
turcd?

ore glad to see this. We know there is n
good feeling in favor Of Portland as against

themselves Of this good feeling. and reach
the public by the local press, to secure and

We have not attempted TO conceal our
opposition to certain clauses Of our prohibi.
tory liquor law, as amended, rs our readers
are well aware. We are frank and earnest
in that opposition, to both the old cider
clause Of the law and the last springs
amendments We have bcen and still are
opposed to both, and oppose them while we
still favor the old law In other respects.
We oppose them honestly, and with frank
independence rs any consistent temperance
man would oppose measures which he re.
carried as jeoparlizingthc great temperance
reform. rs both unjust, unculed ior. unfor-
tunate, and as reiarling temperance instead
Of aiding Il. To show tina, we are not
alone in our views, we clip the following
from the Progressive .4ge. an influential Re-.
publican journal published at Belfast:
Extreme prohibition such As 10 attempted
to be enforced In this State, by the State Con-
stabulary, We are opposed IN. Such attempts,
In our belief, will bring on q reaction sooner
or later, which will sweep away all restraints

ically prohlbitory law, was In the mode Of it,

THE CONVENTION AT LEWISTON.

a Convention OF temperance men rom
Nil the temperance organizations in the
state was held ut Lewiston last week, under
the call Of the Estate Temperance ALI
ance." II was respectable in poin, Of mum.
hers, and composed OF men whose every
intention was good, we dare say. That
majority Of the members are sale and prac-
teal men to advise and lead, was painfully
not evident by the amount OF wisdom eS'
pended in the discussions Of their session.
We should he glad TO speak Of these tenn
pcrance gatherings n common cnuse Tor
all temperance men in the State but there
nrc about one hundred men who are the
leaders or prominent members Of the 'lii.
icrcnt secret organizations under the tenn
pcrancu name. and they have decided that
no ouc can he reliable temperance man
WHO does not subscribe to their shboleih
aud n consequence nine.tenths OF the
temperance men Of the Sta,e are " little
be,ter than the hes,hen," il we may Judge
by the incorporate expressions OF these
few leaders.
The burden Of the song of all these gen
ilcinen who have 20 kindly md disinier-
c,,Nlly taken the ca,se Of temperance I'M
der their exclusive control, is, that whether
the amendment or last winter, or the Con.
sial,,ilary, src drsimhle or not, death to the
man that darrs talk Of repeal, because what
ever these self elected cusiodians Of tenn
I~ranco write, is ike the Persian law, never
~ he unwriitcn. This statement sounds
like burlcsruc, Int il is sober truth. ltwas
officially stated by the chief officer Of the
Grand Ledge at the session in Saco, AMI il
is found in all the arguments Of these gen.
ilrmcu, that they cannot allow any repeal
ii temperance Legislation. since il is n
step backward" aud confession OF in
discretion, aud tlcreforc To he resisted by
every means. The people may well keep
aloor from following such men in morals,
politics or religion, if such is to DO the
course and such the reason, since in any
other cause which We can recall to mind,
such leadership would DO wanting in the
first elements Of sanity.
Continual ,hresteuing on the part Of these
gentlemen is an evidence Of a want OF
argument which those who desire the per
n,anen, good Of the temperance cause, will
NOT iail ~ appreciate. The only real ques-
ton is. was the Legislation Of last winter
wise and expetient? if il was, il must
stand brt Il, instead ofbeing wise, !, was
otherwise. il must give place to better leg
islation. That is tho length and breadth OF
il; il admits Of no more and no less.
Therefore, if Mr.. Davis, Mr.. Nye, and Mr..
Prrhau,, and Mr.. Dineley, and Rev. Mr..
Snow, and Rev. Mr.. How. are determined
To holt unless the dominant party accept
them rs leaders, the Republican party will
,loub,lcss be sorry to say farewell, because
such u course on their part after being "set
up" in lie hy the very men whom they seem
anxious to lead or to kick. looks like John
sonian insrn,itudc, they will do the
Republican party less injury out Of il than
in il. We are tired and Disguised with the

The senatorial question will doubtless he
canvassed somewhat at tho next session Of
the legislature, although the Senatorship
will not come up for final action until a
year hence. From present appearances we
Judge that Senator Morrill, will be slaugh.
tered in the house Of his friends. Some Of
tho politicians Of Augusta, whom many
suppose to be pledged TO tho support Of
Mr.. Morrill,, have schemes Of their own OF
well laid plans. lf we were to guess, we
should say that Mr.. Hamlln will run an
easy course, and he elected by good ma.
joriiy since certain persons arc looking for
Mr.. Fesscntlen to be appointed by The COM
ing Republican national Administration to
an executive office, thereby creating va
cancy in his scnaiorship, while a party Is
expecting to be appointed who is ambitious
only for the honor for short time, and
who will then transfer his strength for the
permanent election Of n Member Of Con.
grcss from this State. but the hest laid
schemes Of mice md men gang an ugley,'
and the contingency Of Mr.. Fesscndcn's
executive appointment may find different

The telegraph every now and then, when
il has nothing else to say, announces the
old stcrco,ype,l news ~ tia, preparations
are making to try Jef. Davis. &C., &C.,
Bosh The time may be reckoncd in years
since this chief Of lank traitors was caught
skulking in pctticoat, and everything con.
nec,ed with his treatment by government
since then has been shameless mockery.
He ought to have been shot on tho spot
where captured. But to reflect upon tho
course Of Andrew Johnson from the time
Davis was caught and 100000 paid for
his pelt. up to his release, is enough to
make any patriot sick with indignation and
disgust Talk about "trying" him,-Bosh !!
For heavens sake let him 20, and let this
