The Republicans of Topsham have nomi-
Representative to the Legislature for the
towns of Topsham and West Bath.
The Oxford Democrat says: "The halliards
of the flag staff of the Seymour and Blair flag
on the hill were cut on Tuesday night last.
We do not believe there is Republican in
town mean enough to do such thing. 1t is
probable that the act was an i'll advised one of
the friends of the flag, done to make little
political capital"
The Lewiston Journal says that it knows of
five Democrats in that city who had intended
vote for Grant and Colfax, on account of the
cowardly conduct of the Ku-Klux in making
a murderous attack on the Tanners Thursday
evening. We know seven men in this city
who from this and similar reasons have taken
the same course. 80
Hon. w. If. Vinton had most successful
meeting at South Berwick on the evening of
the Sd. 1t is estimated that the Republican
gain will be thirty or forty in that town.
There is actually Democratic paper in
Knox county so stupid as to affirm that the
members of the Maine delegation in Congress
voted for the copper tariff bill. The Boston
Post started this lie, the Argus copied it and
it has just got to Rockland. The Globe tells a
different story. All of the Maine members
present voted against it, and the rest, who
were absent, opposed it. Now, after a full and
conclusive refutation of this story by reference
to the official records, we think we are justified
in saving that whoever repeats it lies.

MATCH GAME OF BASE BALL FOR THE
CHAMPIoNsHIP.-The match game between
the Eons, Of Portland, and Cushnocs, of Au-
gusta, for the silver ball and State champion
ship, was played on the grounds near the
Arsenal on Saturday afternoon last, and re-
suited in a victory for the Eons.
Owing to the usual DELAY the game was not
commenced until 8 o'clock, when the Cush-
noes, having won the toss, sent the Eons to the
bat Very little excitement was manifested
until the fourth innings of the Cushnocs, when
Simpson made a splendid hit clean over the
center field, sending himself clear home aud
scoring the first run for the Cushnocs. The
EoHs took the lead at the start and kept it un-
til the close of the seventh inning, when the
game was called owing to the increasing dark
ness the score standing 80 to 8. The Cushnocs
were extremely careless in their playing, while
the Eons played careful to the end, watching
every point and proving themselves the best
nine ever raised in the city. We append the
score below: t .-s-. .. .F

A VOLUNTEER.-Thanks to Illinois, She
has given us for this campaign Storrs, Inger-
SOIL Farnsworth and Logan. The glorious re-
suit next Monday, which we now confidently
predict, will be due in no small degree to them,
and We would by no means be understood as
undertaking the services of gentlemen from
other States in saying so. But it is not of
them that we would now speak, but of gal
lant volunteer from the same State who, hap
penlng 10 observe political struggle going on
here, oHereh MS services and heloped along
the good cause. Perkins Bass, ESQ.,, an able
and wealthy Chicago lawyer, came to Maine a
few weeks ago to spend short vacation. The
campaign had commenced and he was unable
to refrain from participating in it. He there
fore promptly offered his assistance TO the po-
itical committees, assuring them that he would
accept no compensation whatever for his work.
So he took off his coat, fguratively speaking,
and for two weeks he spoke every day. The
effect of his speaking was excellent. He gave
the people facts, figures and solid arguments.
leaving the lighter business to his associates.
When at length professional engagements call
ed him back to Chicago he refused to allow
the payment of even the travelling expenses of
his tour. All the compensation that it was
possible to force upon him was the hearty
thanks of all who had listened to him as well
as the gentlemen under whose direction he
was employed. He said that he regarded the
contest here as not only in behalf of the party
in Maine, but that of Illinois also, and that the
other States owe something to the State that
first holds its election.

Ay, Remember Kittery! The political an
nails of the country do not afford another so
outrageous instance of prescription on political
grounds as followed the visit of Secretary
Welles to the Navy Yard
Charles A. Shaw and the York County DEM
ocratic Committee had IN interview with the
Secretary Within ten days ONE HUNDRED
MEN WERE DISCHARGED FROM THE NAVY
YARD.
Every man was Republican.
SEVEN WERE SOLDIERS WHO HAD
LOST EITHER AN ARM OR A LEG.
All were assured that they could remain if
they would vote to surrender to Davis and
Lee.
The discharge of these seven men leaves only
three crippled soldiers employed in the Navy
Yard.
There is no mistake abont the facts. We
have published the names and residences of the
soldiers, ~
Remember Kittery! If jeff Davis had been
President and Semmes his Secretary of War,
the case could not have been made stronger
This last charlatan trick of the Bodugger will
cost him hundreds of votes Don't let the peo-

an outrage that will bury the Democratic party
OF Maine deeper than the most enthusiastic
Republican has yet dreamed.

other remarks of the paper, that we may ex-
pect this precious document any hour Per-
haps among the wonders of politicalchicanery,
this trick may be played, of getting ont a let

The most painful portion OF the article from
which we quote, is yet to be stated. The edi-
tor says, the repentance of Gen. Grant will

Washington Express. When that paper is

large slices of humble pie, as it now is pot val
liant. Such staggering fellows are always
the most ready to beg the pardon of those
whose contempt they have so richly deserved
by their duplicity.

MEETING AT DEMOCRATIC HrApouApTrno

nEEilNG AT DEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS -
A procession of about fifty persons marched
into the Democratic Headquarters Saturday
evening, and a small gathering listened to
speeches from Gen. Meauey the Fenian leader,
Hon ). 5. Cox of New York, "a gentleman
from the home of Seymour" and others
Meaney's remarks were received with great
enthusiasm by the Irshmen present, who evil
IDENTIFY regarded his services of much greater
value than those of Senator CONFESS, who has
done something besides talking in behalf of the
rights of naturalzed citizens CoDness and
his Republican associates in Congress have
done more for the protection of the rights of
naturalized citizens by passing law in their
behalf last session than all the Democra tic adj
mlnstrations from JeffersOn's down.
When Cox was called for he jumped up with
the hea-like agility that he 80 often displays in
his 0ratory We liked his speech. The "nig-
gers" he painted were the blacklist. had the
thickest lips and the longest heels. had more
cranial deficiencies and out of the way facial
angles than any heretofore exhibited on

with pearls, but couldn't seem to lay his hand
just at that moment on a proper subject for

coronet of Immortality" Now we could sit
for weeks at the feet of Mr.. Cox and learn ora

more than one coronet; and, if so, how many?
Third, if the beads of sweat on the brow of any

way? We await with great interest an answer
to the last question, for it settles the question
as to whether Immortality gets any contribu-

nearly all the sons "of honest industry" there
are "niggers.'

Cox Again.

Our excellent Brunswick correspondent
*, whose whole communication we should
be glad to print had he not been anticipated by
another party, says that the recollection of S.
S. Cox's infamous New York speech on New
England had such an effect on the people in
that vicinity that they would not go to hear
him, and that his audience at Brunswick was
very small We quote:
We well remember his hatred Of New Emo
land and his sneers at her schools churches
aud Puritanism AS the boys say at was lit
tie cheeky" for him to stand in New England
village and address a New England audience.
Had Northern man said of the South what
he has before said of New Nngland, and then
have dared to stand up before a Southern audi
ence, he would at once have been treated to
hemp cravat, and suddenly passed away by
promotion
We notice that Mr.. Cox has addressed a
note to the editor Of the Path Times complain
ing that the Press ''garbled" his New York
speech, particularly where we represented him
as saying "PERIsH New England" He says
that his language was, "Some madly say, Per
lsh New England" and that he deprecated
the sentiment. You cannot escape from your
black record in this way, Mr.. Cox. Your
speech was one of the foulest, most lbelous
and most abusive TRADES that ever fell from
the lips of an American citizen. 1t was an at
tempt to hold up New England and its people
| to the scorn of mankind. 1t was the most
| elaborate and carefully finished piece of Wilt
| fcation that was ever uttered. You endeav-
ored to make New England appear to the
world sort of Nazareth, out of which no good
thing could come-an aceursed land occupied
by an accused people. -<5s #..
You attacked all her material interests, as
well as her theology, her institutions and her
laws. You said: "IF New ENGLAND Is NOT
| DRIVEN FROM THE UNION SHE WILL BE HUMIL-
lated IN IT." The humiliation you had in
view was probably a deprivation of the equal
| representation in the Senate guaranteed to her
States by the Constitution, since you complain
that she enjoys such representation.
Now do you dare to make use of such con-
temptible subterfuge as to shield yourself be-
hind an imaginary interlocutor into whose
mouth you put the words "Perish New Eng
land and to say that you deprecated the SEN
timent?" The spirit of your remarks was pre-
served in our extracts. We construed them
just as an intelligent reader of Shakespeare
would construe the words of Antony when he
speaks of Brutus and Cassus as Honorable
men," IT you are willing to let the people of
Maine decide between us on this question.
have your speech reprinted and circulated, or
instead of your new address which you are
now using, repeat your New York effort. You
don't dare to do it, Mr.. Cox. The Democratic
State Committee would give five dollars each
for all the copies now extant in Maine in order
to make a bonfire of them- That speech makes
all the meetings that you are to address "fiz-
zes." The people will not forget.

YARMOUTH, Sept. 8, 1868


To the Editor of the Press:
Last evening the Copperheads of our quiet
town had another demonstration, reminding
one of the convulsive struggles of an expiring
donkey. The great Republican meeting to
hear Senator Wilson and the news from YER
mont have so disheartened them that they find
it almost impossible to assemble greater num-
Der than are usually found in a Calithumpian
Band, which they much resemble in principle
as well as discordant noises. Mr. Perrin was the
speaker, and his strongest efforts were put
forth to prove the love of the Democratic par
ty land the Rebels in particularly for the flag of
our country. Republicans can Judge of the
task before him.
The Republicans will soon have another of
their grand, inspiring meetings, of which your
readers will have due notice. Monday even
ing. 9Th. our Grant Club meet at Temperance
Hall for drill. All those wishing to take part
in the procession of Wednesday at Portland,
are requested to attend. ANOTHER +.

Great Republican Meeti7sg at
CITY Hall.
Another Live western Orator.
Speeches by Hon. r.. G.. I1sgers0H
and Hon. John Conness.
Unbounded Enthusiasm.

City Hall was again filled to OVERLOOKING
Saturday evening, to listen to the addresses of
the distinguished gentlemen whose names an
pear above. The enthusiasm of the people of
Portland is ON the increase. We have expe-
rienced nothing like it since the fires burned
so brightly in 1860. The bare announcement
of a Republican orator is sure to bring out the
people in body. They are determined to
keep the ball rolling until it has crushed the
lite out of the last remnants of the Democracy
The Tanners presented splendid appearance
as they marched towards the hall with banners
waving. On the stand we noticed besides the
speakers of the evening Gov. Hartman of
New Hampshire, Hon. w. P. Fessenden, Gen.
Shepley and others.
The meeting was called to order by N. A.
Foster, Esq, of the City Committee, who
called Judge Woodbury. Davis to preside over
the exercises of the evening. Judge Davis on
assuming the chair referred to the great mis-
sion of the Republican party, and the tri-
umphant success with which it had fulfilled
its promise, and which success was to be per-
fected and consummated by the election of
General Grant as President of the United
render of Lee, it remains for the country to
seal the victory by the election of the Repub-
lican ticket in November.
Mr.. e. w. Locke then brought the enthusi-
asm of the audience up to a fever point by
singing a soul stirring song to the tune of
"Rally round the Flag, boys" in the chorus of
which the audience joined. f.f..
Hon. r. G. Ingersoll of Illinois was then in
troduced, and was received with perfect
storm OF applause. He commenced by thank
ing the soldiers of this country that the flag
still floats, that the eagle still flies and that we
are still progressive people, and that we are
not on the way to barbarism and Democracy.
Is the country better than it used to be? Yes,
thousand times better! Who made it so?
The Republican party. Who has given liberty
to the people of this conntryo IL is the Re-
publican party. Who has removed from our
statute books laws more Infamous than hell it
self? The Republican party. The question
presented to the Republicans when they came
into power on the 4th of March, 1861, was
either to attack the elements of barbarism
which then existed in the country or have no
government at all. The minute the first gun
was fired, the people of this country was d.
vlded into two parties, patriots and traitors.
The Republican party at first wanted to COM
promise, but they do not wish to now. 1t has
become courageous and noble. 1t has become
