THR NEW CoNvERT.-The Argus saws that
N. L. Purnton, Esq, presided at Democrat
ic meeting on Saturday evening, and that he
has hitherto acted with the Republicans. A
correspondent writes us, inquiring whether
'Mr. Purinton was not Loco until few
years since? whether he did not get his pipe
put out because he was not at one time made
Councilman of Ward 4? and also whether he
is not mad because Mr.. Collector Miller did
not let him jew the government on his whis-
key operation last year? and If, when the Po-
lice stopped hislwhiskey from 'ripeniDg,' and
since, he has not gone in and abused the
Press9"
These are charges which we cannot answer
but Mr.. Purinton can. Perhaps he is dissatis-
fed with the party which puts so heavy duty
on whisky. Still, it has been much abated OF
late, and unless he wants to get it off of that
cask" entirely, he ought to be satisfied with
the reduction. We trust that Mr.. Purinton
will look this act Of his over seriously. 1t is a
sad thing TO see a man in the prime of life, and
in tolerably good health, leaving the cause OF
his country and falling, as if by magnetic in
fiuence, asleep in the arms of his enemies.
WheIher IL 10 causeu ny sP'oe'oiu "'''oiiihoh'''
the whisky embroglio or device to
run whisky free, it is pitiful sight,
and Nathaniel will yet live long enough
to bewai, in sackcloth and ashes, that he sac
rificed the principles of his later years, and
gave his adhesion to that party whose po-
litical schemes are as blightirg to the grow
ing greatness Of this country as would be the
prevalence of infidelity to the complete sue
cess of Chris tan principles.

At the political meeting in which NJ. L.
Purinton, Esq, fell from grace, Mr.. Cyrus
Sturtivant took occasion to speak on the dam
ages done to our shipping interests and ship
building under Radical policy. If Mr.. Sturti-
want did not make any better Roadway in that
line of talk, than he made in convincing the
Democracy that they ought to vote for him for
Mayor, when he was run, he may be said to
have lost his potatoes. Such beggarly array
of voters, so far as numbers were concerned
il is net the fate of that party to often see al
though they have had hard times in this re-
spect
The fact is, Mr.. Sturtivant did not do any
such thing as ascribed to him by that paper
1t is merely sop thrown in to fatter vain
man. 1t does not lie in his power to prove
any such statement. 1t will take a bigger
man than he is, to make such assertions even
plausible, and he orsht to feel self-convicted
when he considers how he is being used for a
false purpose, by the drummers-in of that

The Rieeiion I'm Vernon, To-Day.

The Burlington (Vt.) Free Press sulnmas
rizes the vote of that State by cointies, and
concludes that Vermont can poll ten thousand
more votes for John B. Page this year than it
did last. Even If the Democrats get out their
vote to man, we can add eight or nine thou.
sand to the Republican majority of the State.
We predict that this estimate is too favorable
TO the Republican side, but the current toward
Grant and Colfax is now so strong that it is
impossible to predict how high it may carry
the Republican majority. In the Governor
election of 1864 the Republicans had a MAORI
ty of only 1897, which was increased to ~,
098 in November. In 1865 the majority was
1929 in 1866 it was 22,822; in 1867 it was 20
1872. Last year the total vote was but 43, 226, OF
which 81 694 were cast for the Republican can
didate, and 1910 for the Democratic. The
candidates are the same this year as last. The
usual Republican vote in Vermont ranges from
81 900 to $4,000, while that of the Democrats
ranges from II 900 to 13, 500. Tomorrow morn.

comes up to her past record.

There was a spirited Republican meeting at
Gorham Village vest ,rday, on the occasion of

The meeting was called to order BY Colonel
Fred. ROBBIE, who nominated for President Geo
w. Lowell and for Vice Presidents, Hon. Top

Mr.. Lowell opened the meeting by brief
but pithy speech, and after the flag was flung
to the breeze amid the cheers of the audience
aud stirring music by the band, he introduced
Hon. J. H. Drummond, who made one of his
happiest speeches, holding the closest atten-
tion Of the audience throughout. The next
speaker was Hon. Samuel Mckee, of Ken
lucky, who occupied the remainder of the time
with one of the most logical and convincing ar
guments we ever listened to- His showing up
of the composition of the two political parties
was 6rue to the letter, and must have convinc-
ed any candid man who loved his country that
his place was in the Republican party. He
completely exploded the Democratic lie about
poor men paying rich mems taxes. The meet
ing closed with cheers for the Republican nom-
inees and the orators of the day. A plentiful
collation. was served, of which all partook who
chose, leaving enough for as many more, as is
always the case when the ladies of Gorham
have charge of such entertainments. They
are notorious for never providing just enough
Everything passed off in the pleasantest
manner. The day was fine, the flag large and
beautiful, the speaking elegant, and the music
of course excellent, as it was furnished by the
Portland Band: and though the crowd was
not so large, as like the Pendleton demonstra-
tion in Portland while ago to be reckoned
by acres, yet there was good deal more intel
ligence per acre. And if there were any DEM
ocrats present whose minds were not as OBJ
fuse as the blunt end of wedge, and who
had any tender spots in their conscience, there
must have been at the close of Drummond's
and McKee's remarks some acsers even there.

CART THOU IN HEALTH, MY BROTHER. -
The Argus has the news, by telegraph, tnat
Seymour is well! This news was received IN
New York on Sunday. He was well on the
9th That was Thursday. we trust his
health continues good. The Republican party
do not want to defeat a sick man. "The game
would not be worth the candle" They want
the man who is run over the Presidential
road to salt river in November to be sound
bodily. Politically, full of bruises, of course
But bodily in good order. He will be sick
enough in November, to compensate for the
rudest health for the prior fifty seven years of
his life! The specific prescribed, as the medi-
cine that will bring him out all right at last
are "Union pills"
Another item eff news of still more impor-
lance accompanies that just named. Mr.. Sey-
mour is quite certain of the success of the
Democratic ticket in November. "Ah! Hora-
tioi There are more things in heaven and
earth than are dreamed of, in your philos-
ophy."
This latter intelligence conveys to the mind
a melancholy presage. If Mr.. Seymour is en-

Republican Meeting i'm n Demo en- atie

Mr.. EDIToR,-A Republican mass meeting
was held at Naples on the 9th ult.. which was
quite we'll attended, considering that Naples
is a Democratic town and the Democrats, fear
ing nothing more than Republican meeting
of this description, always do all in their pow
er to diminish the attendance. The meeting
was called to order by Mr.. Cole and Hon.
Samuel F. Perley was chosen chairman. Aft
er few very appropriate remarks Mr.. Perley
ris Esq. of your city. Never having seen
the gentleman before that day. we could Judge
of his speech uninhuenced by personal con-
sideratiOns. Seldom have we listened to so
calm, dispassiOnate, clear and truthful dis
cussion of the topics of the day He was
master of his subject throughout. and aiming
at no stump-speakng eloquence or fippancy
OF manner he deduced conclusions as forc;ble
| as his premises were undeniable Bold and
| severe in his denunciation of the Democratic
| platform, he INDUCED in no vituperation but
| calmly and with quiet dignity exposed and
destroyed its frail foundation and pointed
| out the path of honesty and liberty
Mr.. Morris may carry with him the satisfac-
| ton of knowing that Naples has been made
| wiser and better by his visit there. Mr. Nor
ris was followed by Mr.. Stevens of Portland
| who spoke but briefly on account of an even.
! ing meeting which he was to address. This
we were unable to attend. The meeting broke
up-all appearing satisfied and hopeful except
| squad of Democrats whose idea of Repudi
alton, Reconstruction and Suffrage had receiv.
| ed wonderful check and we trust radica
| cure. fE

| but feel by what we saw and heard that Maple:

A New Man.

James A. Briggs, Esq, in his Speech on
Thursday evening in the City Hall, at Bath
said: "The Republicans propose to elect neoc
man President of the United States on the Sd
day of next November in the person of the
able and accomplished soldier who led the
armies of freedom to victory, and who is the
standard bearer of party that never furnish
ed a man to fire bullet at the flag of his
country. 1t is said that General Grant is a
new man. This is true, and we have this
consolation; he is not the only new man who
has appeared in human history to astonish'
bewilder and amaze those who have driven SO
long that they believe the reins of government
belong exclusively to them. DAVID was new
and quite young man, and had no experience
even ia arms when a deliverer OF his wonder
full people was needed, and he went out 10
meet the Goliath of his day, who had 'dehed
the God of the armies of Israel and without
any Boosting slew him. The King and the
CAPTAINS of the host could not tell whose son
is this youth?" But they soon found out; for
David said in reply to Saul, who asked him,
Whose son art thou, thou young man" L
am the son of thy servant Jesse, the Bethle-
hemite' And this new man. who was NOM
mated for President at Chicago by the unani-
nous voice of his great and patriotic party,
when some old fogy who years ago should
have been embalmed and placed in the great
mummy chamber of defunct politicians shall
ask, whose son art thou, thou young man?'
will answer him, 4 am the son Of thy servant
Jesse, the Tanner Now Ulysses is like unto
David for we are told, David went out with
ersover Saul sent him, and behaved himself
wisely; and Saul set him over the men of war,
and he was accepted in the sight of all the
people And thus it is with Gen Grant"
