The Bangor Democrat is the real exponent
of the Democracy Of Maine and expresses
freely the disgust which the party felt at Gen.
Sberidan's presence here. The Demo crat is

curling across the State with a resonant crack
at the unruly animals in this direction, thus: :
1t is mortifying fact, that there are men who
have been hanging on the verge of the Demo-

to add that these gentlemen long since com.

Upon the Democratic cattle in Augusta, the
lash descends repeatedly. The Standard had
stated that "the publishers and Editor of the
Standard, and the Democracy of Augusta gem
orally participated in the reception of sheri-
DAM and to this statement the Democrat
says: 4iQWHt sIenf hHL vf$yaie % -9Geq
All that we have to say is. that s'the publish
ers and Editor of the Standard and the De-
mocracy OF Augusta, generally were engaged
in very cheap business-a business not calcu-
lated to raise them i'm the esteem of their fell
ow-Demoerats throughout the State. a.tit ,fe.1

more to say, and proceeds as follows-

Mr.. PtlsbnrY is concerned there is probably as
much truth IN this statement of the journal,
as there was IN its declaration, some DAYS after
the October elections, that Ohio had gone Re
phbhcan by 25,000 majority. Mr. PiIlsbury is
not the man to thus attempt to degrade and in
suit the Democracy of Maine, who last Sep
.tlioer gave MN such generous support at
the polls as their candidate for Governor, by
eountenancing this Radical political raid of
sheridan through the North. Will the Jour

IfMr Pillsbury is not careful he will fail to
receive the Democratic nomination next year.
