SHARP POLITICAL CANVASS IN MAINE.
Both Parties Thoroughly Organized and
Bravely at Work-Democratic Gains.

GoRHAM, Sept. 10, 1868.
Every town, village and hamlet in this part of the
State presents the appearance Of the country when
war broke out. Houses are dressed in gaudy
flags, bands Of music and uniformed men are
parading the streets, speeches are being made
and sautes fired. Both parties are strain.
ing their energies for Monday and no
warmer contest has ever taken place in this state.
on this line OF railway demonstrations take place
daily, where laboring masses generally attend to
hear the discussions. Tonight Notwithstanding
pouring rain, large mass meeting was held
here, and addresses made by Colonel Bradbury
OF Portland; Tarbox, OF Massachusetts, and Others
and flags were thrown to the breeze. Great enthusi.
asm Is manifested everywhere by the democracy,
who seem to be carrying the poorer classes with
them. Bradbury's and Tarbox's speeches are
able efforts. The radical and democratic
canvasses are sufficiently complete to indicate
the success of the former by fifteen to eighteen
thousand, or several thousand reduced majority,
taking the majority OF 1864, Of twenty.one thousand
as the basis for comparison. Blaine admits that
the majority will not be over fifteen thou
sand, and none, since the failure of the
demonstration at Portland last night, place
II larger This contest is purely on national issues,
and unless the democrats obtain twenty-one thou.
sand defeat awaits them. They generally give II up.
The canvass in nine out OF the sixteen counties
shows democratic gains Of nearly seven hundred
over their last majority, giving all the doubtful TO
their opponents.

swear to matters they knew nothing OF. This has
seriously damaged the defence.
The Crown prosecutor informs me that the Judge
will charge the jury tomorrow night and the YER
dict will be rendered on Saturday Not the slightest
doubt exists OF the conviction Of the prisoner. He
bears up bravely and has written an eloquent adj
dress to be delivered before passing sentence.
On leaving the court to-day he said to the detec-
tive, ''By God, these witnesses swOre hard for
me to-day az ever the others swOre against me. But

Central Union Republican Club.

The second Of q series OF mass meetings was held
under the auspices Of the Central Union Club last
night, at their headquarters corner OF Concord and
Fulton streets. stephen NJ. Grswold, President Of
the club, presided. There were several patriotic
songs rendered in an acceptable manner by the
vicksburg Glee Clup. Mr.. Joseph J. Couch was the
first speaker, and after discussing the questions
at issue In spirited style to considerable length,
he was followed by Brigadier General Thomas M.
Hill, Of Missouri The General began by character
iZng human slavery "a social, moral and political
evil. II was political evil because IL gave white
with three hundred slaves the right to vote for
them all. Congressional district consisted of $685.
Here at the North every white man was citizen,
counted the ratio Of representation: but in
the State OF Kentucky five hundred slaves were put
down as three hundred and one-one man repre-
senting only himself but also the three. Slavery
assumed representation without the right Of voting.
He then enumerated the evils which resulted from
this state OF things and compared them with the
blessings which we now enjoy in equal representa-
ton accorded all men rs consequent upon the sue
cess OF the war The meeting adjourned with
cheers for Grant and Colfax
The Brooklyn Fourth Ward Boys In Blue.
The Fourth Ward Club met last evening and took
measures to confer with the other organizations OF

Jones. Dick and Johnson were appointed a commit
tee of conference for that purpose. william II.

meeting at the Wigwam Of the constitutional Union
Association, Fulton avenue which was held last
evening, was very largely attended. d. p. Barnard
offlcated as Chairman aud introduced James f.
Babcock, editor, Of New Haven, Conn. After thank
ing the audience for the applause with which his
appearance was greeted he assured them that Con-
neCticut was with them In this great political
struggle and urged his hearers TO give their banner
to the breeze and to battle bravely for the Of
constitutional liberty. The speaker, who for
thirty years past has been wing and a re-
publican, and voted twice for President Lincoln then
stated his for leaving the ranks OF the rad
Gals. Congress had pledged itself TO carry out the
war for the Union alone and had proved recreant TO
its profession. The republican party had attempted
to gain power by adopting unconstitutional
measures Referring to the battles OF Gettysburg and
Vicksbnrg, he said that no man did more to accom-
plish those victories In his quiet way, than HOratiO
seymour
thomas f. Pearsall also spoke, and the meeting
adjourned at q late hour.
