Cumberland County ind Second sena.
tsrial Republican Convention.
The Convention of Union Republicans. COM
posed of delegates from the several towns in
Cumberland county and the I'd Senatorial
District, assembled at Temperance Hall, Port
land, Thursday, Aug. 22d. fsit,7 ...gr-1a
The Convention was called to order by Col.
j. +. Miller, chairman of the County Commit
tee, who nominated Col. Franklin Nj. Drew. of
Brunswick, as temporary Chairman Col.
Drew was elected.
In accepting the position of Chairman of the
Convention, Col. Drew spoke as follows: ~
thank the Convention for the honor it has
conferred upon me. We have assembled for
the purpose of organizing for an annual polit-
lcal campaign. The issue before us will be
clear and distinct as in former years, the enc
my will be the same, the Northern wing of the
rebel army. Ii is true the danger of arms and
| the bloody sacrifice of men has ceased. but the
| great question whether we are to reap the har-
vest which we so richly saved with noble lives
and vast treasures is still unsettled. The
Union army and navy under its great and gal
liant leaders, Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and
Farragut, in the four years of terrible strife,
| overwhelmed and dispersed the rebels in arms,
but the dastardly band of the assassin and the
treachery of President johnson transferred
the lost cause from the field to the halls of
| Congress and the White House. Instead of
treason being made odious by the prompt and
dlgnlhed trial and execution of its leaders, the
| action of the Government has annulIed the
law tor the punishment of treason, and jeff
Davis enjoys the hospitality OF neighboring
province. Thanks, however, to a loyal Con-
gress all has not been lost, but the work of re-
construction goes on through those true and
tried men, ,Sckles, Pope, Thomas and Sheri-
dan, IN spite e the President. If, however,
these men are to be removed, as recent events
threaten, Congress may be obliged to recon-
struct the occupant of the White House and
Sne ides OF November may finish the work for
ms ingenious Attorney General, in the High
Court OF Ptne United States Senate. The work
| OF reconstruction must 90 on; the Union must
and shall be preserved in all its integrity and
| power. This is the mission of the Union party.
As branch OF this party we have met to-day
| to organize for the approaching State election
1 We have noble leader, the hero of Lift le
kound Top. We want good men Coz our coun-
~ nominees, and for this purpose l invoke
your candid and harmonious action to-day.
