by some whimsical hook Or crook of heart of
brain, has got on the wrong side of the line
Of battle-p particularly if he has been an old

treat him to pause, and reflect upon what he
is about to do. Why should he go with the
Radicals and what reason can he offer for
not going with the Democrats All the
issues over which we used to fight are dead
The Democratic party itself is reorganized
after division which completely destroyed
and recreated it. In 1860 it fought within
itself as resolutely as we ever fought againss
it. Times have changed men have chang
ed; issues have changed Clay, if he
were living now, would be Democrat.
Webster could be nothing else All
the reputable old line Wings that remain
are Democrats, from Fillmore to John
Bell -; and God knows, if these can afford it,
there is no one of their followers in the by
gone times who has any excuse to hold back.

MAINE ELECTION the latest tele-
grams received. Maine has failed to sustain
her Republican majority. The Same can
didates are running to-day as in 1866.
Then the State gave Chamberlain 81 ,687
majority. The Republican majority, as far
as heard from on the 18th, was II, 661-a
loss of 10000.
The campaign has been a spirited one and
both parties put forth their best efforts.
The reduction of the Republican majority
of 1866 by even few hundred would yir-
tua!ly be Democratic victory. But if it
reaches the above figures, the Democracy
have gained glorious triumph.

VERMONT AND MAINE NOT INDICATORS OF
NORTHERN SENTIMENT After repeatedly
heralding the result of the recent election in
Vermont as the sure token of Radical sue
cess in the Presidential election, the New
York Herald now declares that Vermont
amounts to nothing" The Herald refers
to similar antecedents in Vermont and Maine
to show that they do not furnish reliable in
dications as to the elections in the other
Northern States. It cites the case of Yer
mont, which, in 1862, gave twenty six
thousand majority, and of Maine, which fol-
lowed, with thirteen or fourteen thousand
Republican majority. Notwithstanding these
results in the States named. when the cleo
ton in Pennsylvania came off in the follow
lug October, she turned over to the Delnoc-
racy by four thousand majority, although
only two years before she had given Lincoln
sixty thousand majority Ohio and Indiana,
which had each given Lincoln large MAORI
ties, also changed over to the Democracy.
The Herald concludes: *'It will be thus
seen that neither Vermont nor Maine afford
ed any indications of the great change about
to take place in the political sentiment of
the country, but that the revolution COM
menced with the October elections. Il wiN
be the same this uear. - hiq.

Mr.; John NJ. Brosins, of Liberty, has
invented a new coupling of railroad cars
which, the Sentinel thinks, is destined to
supersede all others. Itdispenses entirely
with the necessity of hand between the
cars to fasten it. The mere pressure of the
cars together is sufficient to fasten it securely.
But the greatest advantage of the new
coupler is that it unfastens itself if the en-
CINE or any car should be turned or thrown
off the track. A deviation from the track
of fifteen degrees instantly uncouples it and
prevents the possibility of the whole train
being thrown off at the same time. H..

Tricks. The political contest in Maine
is getting ''red-hot," as Brick Pomeroy
terms it. All sorts Of electioneering tricks
are resorted to, generally goodnatured, and
some decidedly original. The Democrats,
for instance, CREASED the rails on the Ken
nebec railroad to prevent the Portland Re-
Publcans from getting up to the big Repub-
llean demonstration at Augusta in season.
The Republicans. however, chalked their
wheels and went ahead This trick, we be-
lieve, was in retaliation for one played off
by the Republicans in detaching train of
Democrats from thei: engine in way to
cause perplexing break Of connection with
the Pendleton meeting at Bangor.

A dreadful earthquake, more horrible than
any heretofore recorded, occurred on the'
coast of Peru and Ecuador, South America
on August 18th. The Shock lasted bu
about five minutes and in that time it is es-
timated that from 10000 to 10000 lives
were lost and $780, 100000 worth of prop
erty destroyed.
Arequipa, the most beautiful city of Peru,
and built of stone, was totally destroyed, not
one stone being left on another, and many
of its inhabitants buried in its ruins. The
earth opened in all the plains around the
city. The important city of lquique, in
Southern Peru, was almost totally destroyed
and, as was tho case with the fourshing
city of africa, after being nearly destroyed
by the earthquake, were submerged by a
wave of the Sea Of dreadful heighth and
force, which completed the ruin begun by
the earthquake. This immense wave ex-
tended great distance inland causing great
damage and loss of life In all ten or twelve
important and fourishing towns were des-
troyed. Those which were OH the coast, it
is reported, are now but sandy beaches.

were washed high and dry on the land
and utterly destroyed. Among these were
the U. S. ships, Fredonia and Wateree, to-
tai wrecks, four hundred and fifty yards
from high water mark. A number Of lives
were lost on these vessels.
Quito was but slightly damaged but the
|neighboring towns of Verucho, Pueilaro and
Archuquarigo almost entirely disappeared
with their inhabitants
The stencil of the dead was so great that
the living were forced to fly from the putri-
flying bodies.
It is reported that 100000 people are
homeless and wandering throughout Peru,
destitute of Shelter and food.
