Do nsend Ten CSnts >,

The Democracy of this district are in a
pickle now. Having nominated a candidate
for the special purpose of having man who
would respond to calls for funds in that prompt
and cheerful manner that is so fascinating in
a candidate, the Democracy are thrown into
ludicrous and pitiful CONSERVATION when Mr.
Shaw suspends payment. The fact is, the
views of the Democrats in giving and of Mr..
Shaw in receiving the nomination were very
different. The former wanted money to re-
duce the Republican majority, but Mr. Shaw
wanted to be elected; the former knew that
Shaw couldn't be elected, and his nomination
they hoped would serve the double purpose of
d;sposing of an importunate sutton in Demo-
cratic conventions and of obtaining large APP
preparations for campaign purposes from the
ten cent fund
MIR. Shaw finds that he can't be elected. and
has become irritable and Respondent 1t is
well known that there has been an open rup-
ture between him and his chief agent in the
management of his canvass, growing out of a
demand of the latter for more money. The
candidate sees that the investment isn't going
to pay, and, like good business man, snubs
JHe OllpeT lWlStS WuO Will ctil ucIlldDu more.
From every quarter discouraging news comes
to the ears OF poor Shaw. A few days ago
Hon. Mr.. -, gentleman who was a can
didate for Congress in the District Convention
and has been on the stump in Eastern Maine,
came home and reported to Mr.. Shaw. The
conversation between them was substantially
as follows: -EE as
Mr.. Shaw-"Whatth the uncomfortable brings
you here at this time?'
Mr. Blank-"I staid as long as it was any
use, sir" -
Mr.. Shaw-"Permit me to inquire, sir, what
you mean by that?" til.i.- 1870 fral"
Mr.. Blank-"I mean, sir, that staid as long
as could get people to listen to me, and that
the tide of Republcanism is too strong to be
resisted" Ereunt severally]
Another gentleman from the same quarter
of the State tells similar story to Mr.. Shaw
He could endure all this perh APPS, were it not
that reports from all parts of his own district
are equally disagreeable. He has recently
heard of one school district in Gray where five
Democrats will this year vote with the Repub-
licans for the first time.

If the Argus had known that the Demo
Gratis in the Common Council favored the ap-
preparation for the work on Middle street of
which it complains, it probably would have
held its peace. On a motion to reconsider
the action by which the appropriation was
made every Democrat in the Council voted in
the negative.
Perhaps the Argus will be pleased so know
that the Democrats in the Council favored an
appropriation of five thousand dollars for the
Fourth Of July celebration this year.
Democrats never vote for retrenchment.

official pudding becomes too great to be borne

one in WATERFORD has killed large snake
nearly six feet in length and that, as yet it as
not been decided what species it belongs to-
We are OF the opinion out here that it was a
"copperhead" for there are great many of
that kind in that town and of about the same
length. This one has only preceded his breth-
rem by month or two, for the Republicans are
calculating to make clean sweep this year.

Rally ut City Hall Last Kvsning.
SPEECH BY HON. JAMES O. PUTNAM.

Notwithstanding the fact, that a dsleg cation,
one thousand strong, OF the Republicans of
this city had departed from our borders to light
up with their torches the fires of patriotism
upon the Kennebec. while hundreds of Repub-
licans at home were engaged in forming two
additional military companies, City Hall was
well filled last evening with Jan enthusiastic
audience.
Gen. John NJ. Brown presided, and made
some very felicitous remarks upon assuming
the chair, considering it an honor and pleasure
to preside over meeting of the Republican
party, party SO glorious in its history, its
principles, and its future. .-...
Hon. j. o. Putnam, of Buffalo, New York
was then introduced, and the Copperheads
were scourged without mercy. He noticed q
transparency at the Democratic meeting We'd
nesday evening, on which was written that
only one ship is now owned in the city of Port
land. 1t was his duty, as foreign agent, to
notify the government of the first piratical act
of the Confederacy, which alone had driven
our commerce from the seas, and it was also his
pleasure to notify it of its final collapse, in the
destruction of the Alabama. Let the Demo-
SAoeo AOSh WuoIo VIC Cduo6 VI tulS ucCllQo aCGu-
ally belongs 30 tt' .'-
The rebellion having left the country in a
disorganized state, some plan must be laid
down to bring order out OF chaos. The Re-
publican party has attempted this task, and il
has gone to work upon a just and correct basis
The Republican party insisted that when the
Southern States came back, they must come
back upon terms which should present a guar.
antee of the future.
Gov. Seymour is not to be compared with
Grant, in point of craftsmanship. Aman may
be genial, and of large experience like Gov
ernor Seymour, and still be utterly desti-
tute of the first principles of craftsmanship
James Buchanan was In public life for forty
years, and still he declared that the govern
ment of his country had no inherent power to
protect itself Gen. Grant has will, common
sense, and sagacity, which are the prime ele-
ments of true craftsmanship aG Ia
The Republican parry Is tue party of free-
dom tho world over, and if it adheres to the
great idea of human rights no obstacle can
withstand its onward course. The Republic
can party is the party of humanity. Let us
keep this principle at our mast head, and fight
the battle upon this idea. Let us not materi-
alise the Republican party. Its principles are
worth more than fleets or commerce. The
Republican party has heretofore been an hon.
est party, and it should die, if ever it does,
with its integrity unimpaired.

The many friends of Mr.. 81. J. Murray will
be pleased to learn that the people of Buxton
and Hollis were favored, on Thursday evening
last, with one Of those rare intellectual treats
for which our citisens have been several times
indebted to this gentleman.
Mr.. Murray's reading embraced the two pop
ular selections from Dickens, "Mr. Bob Saw
yer's Party" and "Saira Camp"
r Next to the author of those inimitabls char
acters, Mr.. Murray is perhaps their best per-
senator since his conception of them, never
fails to awaken mirtbful emotions in his audi
ence, and to impart additional reality to per-
sonages already as familiar to us as household
names. The secret of Mr.. Murray's success as
reader, lies quite as much in his th-loving
nature as 10 his dramatic power. He not only
sees the character delinested, he feels it, and
enters into it-with such hearty goodwill that
he carries with hin the sympathy and interest
of his hearers to the end.
Mr.. Murray's reading was charmingly diver
siied with vocal and instrumental music from
some of our best amateur performers, aided by
a fine Soprano from New York. The music
was of the highe 1t ORDER and was received with
the most appreciative demonstrations of de-
light To all these Artistics, never weary in
well-doing, thanks are due for an evening"
rare entertainment, and the success of an OBJ
ject that commends itself to all generous hearts.
