M. RocHFoRT is out in his very strongest
coors against the French Empire. His four
teenth Lanterne-issued from Brussels, and
circulated, so it is said, widely in Paris, in
spite of all attempts at suppression-is the full
and perfect expression of that passionate hate
OF the empire which has always given some
indication of its existence even in his earliest
writings He writes now: @
The only way to extinguish the Lanterne
would be to e1pel your glorious Emperor from
the Tuileries. 1 am quite willing to leave off
writing, but Napoleon must first cease to reign.
Now, announce this, that every Saturday the
Lanterne, illegally strangled in France, will
appear in some foreign country. 1t will filter
through the French frontiers and be circulated
to An extent that will astonish you. My dom
icile will be here and there and everywhere. /
resign myself to play the part of q wandering
Journalist and literary poacher. One day L
shall date the Lanterne from Geneva, another
from Baden, Heidelberg, Ostend or Cologne,
and when you come to demand my expulsion
you must apply to some fifteen Governments,
of whom fourteen at least will laugh in your
face.

THE LINCOLN MONUMENT 1t is announc-
ed that the National Monument Association
have adopted the design of the American
sculptor, Larkin g. Meade, for the monn ment
to be placed over the remains of Abraham,
Lincoln at Oak Ridge Cemetery, in Spring
field, Illinois. The following description is
given of Mr.. Meade's design, which is said to
be in excellent taste: -.
The die is seventy feet high, and the total
height is hundred feet. The foundation
and sub base are of granite, and the artist pro-
poses the architectural work to be of Raverce-
oni marble, and the statues of bronze. The
obelisk is surmounted by the eagle and globe
AT the base pedestal is projected in front, on
which is q colossal statue of Lincoln. On a
plane below, at the four cardinal points, are
tour pedcstals, on which are groups REPRESENT
ing the infantry, cavalry, artillery and marine
arms OF the service. Encircling these
pedestals are tablets, on y which are
written the names of all the States-
These tablets are fuked together, and the
whole work indicates that, through the wise
counsels of the President and the endurance
of the soldier.and sailors, the Union has been
preserved and perpetuated. On the four sides
of the base are tablets for inscriptions. That
in front and under the statue bears the name
in full-Abraham Lincoln. The sub-base is
reached by stairs from the corners of the base,
and under the base is the crypt for the re-
mains The door of the crypt is also the en-
trance to the passage and stairway, which as
cends the monument inside

MANY inquiries were made ON the street yes
terday for the Biddeford Democrat, which had
not been received yet. Some think that it has
"gone up" with the proprietor, but some one
suggested that as Shaw hadn't the Working
Mans Advocate to back him he was waiting
for matter to fill the space made vacant by
those borrowed cuts. We hope his friends in
WATERFORD will send him ten cents and "let
him have peace"

&c.. ...,.-. BUXTON, Sept. Is, 1868.
To the Editor of the Press: '''
The Portland and Rochester special train of
Saturday, the 18th, reached your city at p.
NJ, with from three to four hundred passenA
gers on board, nearly all of whom seemed as
eager for "the fray" as the sights. AS this was
to be the last Democratic rally before the cleo
ton, as might be readily inferred, the majority
in the crowd was composed of the great I'M
washed" and "undaunted." L-.- q a.
Your correspondent was in the car in which
the vote taken for the two political candidates
stood As for Seymour, 8 for Grant. The en-
barrassment of the party in the minority, how
ever, was pretty effectually dissipated by sue
ceeding events, events of such nature that
those so fortunate as to be in the minority felt
glorified thereof, for, after the pyroteehnic dis
play in front of the old City Hall had fzzled
out, Gilmore's Band was subdued, and the
great meeting at the new City Hall had ad
iourned in blaze of glory and torches, there
was nothing to do but cheer for our respective
candidates, and wend our way back to the
Special train aforesaid, patiently waiting for
those Of our Democratic brethren who had
been allured into other paths by the "ten cent
hospitality of their leaders, ,-...1z ss..}
As we approached the depot our eyes and
ears were greeted with sights and sounds not
altogether unfamiliar to those of us accus-
toned to witness the closing scenes Of a Con-
perhead demonstration. Old men and young
boysvied with each other in their various en-.
deavors to make night hideous. They scuffied
swore, yelled and whooped like demons; in
deed, these would be defenders of our liberties,
fought with each other valiantly, from Portland
to Gorham, where we happily got rid of the
last squad In the height of the melee, de-
fenceless women were driven from their seats
and left to the protection of the half-inebria-
ted, who, to their credit be it said, were lust
enough awake to a sense of decency and pro-
priety to oppose the insane mob that threat
ened to kill and destroy. But the air rang
with shouts for Seymour aud Blair, and the
3 combat th;ckened with every shout!
4 And this is Democracy! This is the much
Wanted and chivalrous spirit. land you will
find the same type of it in every county in this
State,) that would rule the destnies of such
Republic as ours! These are the friends of the
laborer, the guardians of soldiers orphans, the
sympathizers with oppressed tax payers May
Heaven sweep this land clean of humanity, be-
fore it is fated to tall into such hands! n-i I

$6500 is almost superfuous for us to speak
of the excellence of this kind of music when
the melody is so flowing and even, never ad-
hitting any of the sudden jars or breaks in
the harmony, which are more or less common
to every other instrument. The rest of the
