Well Done Vermont!

We don't keep ROSTERS. IT'S a vainglorious
bird much given to exulting over Rebel victo-
ries in the field or "white male" triumphs at
the polls in benighted Kentucky and treason
cursed Maryland. Still, if we had a real Re-
publican rooster, "trooly loil" chanticleer.
that never mOulted feather when Lee sur
rendered, or crowed when the Union army was
defeated, we should be tempted to let him have
free range of these Black Republican columns.
Inc dispatches on the third page show that
Notwithstanding the apathetic influence of the
certainty Of triumph which the Republicans of
Vermont enjoy, the magic name Of Grant and
the eternal principles of right involved in tho
present political contest have reused tho croo,,
Mountain boys to an effort commensurate viii,
the tremendous importance of the occasion
They have made handsome gain, and made if
in the face of desperate efforts on the part of
the Democracy to cheer the heart of Seymour
and his friends by reduction of the Repub.i-
can majority.
1t is becoming every day more apparent that
the Grant and Colfax ticket will sweep the
country, carrying before it every obstacle that
stands between the nation and peace.
The issue of Grant and peace, or Blair and
war, was plainly before the people of Vermont
They decided emphatically for the former, and
Maine will respond with still greater emphasis
on the 18th of the present month.

No Democratic paper has ever answered our
question as to why Democrats always and
everywhere oppose registration laws. Demo-
Gratis repealed the registration law of New
Jersey, endeavored to repeal that of New
York, got decision from court annulling
that of Pennsylvania, and endeavored to pre-
| vent the passage of that of Connecticut.
| If Democrats mean a square, honest fight,
| why is it that they always manifest such terror
at the idea of law that will protect the pur-
ity of the ballot box? Wherever the Republic
cans are in power they pass such laws, but
where Democratic reaction sets in they go
by the board. a ........ .-
There is reason to believe that only the ex-
large number of fraudulent votes being cast by
the Democracy of Maine this fall. There is
| reason to believe that many names will be
| placed on the check lists in this Congressional
District that have no legal right there
There is absolutely no legal way in which
the Democracy can make even a respectable
| appearance at the polls, and the history of the
| past shows most conclusively that they will
not hesitate to resort to criminal practices in
| order to carry their point. . .-..-..,
The cause of justice and equal rights must
not be imperiled in this State by such means.
Let the check lists be carefully scrutinized.
Our majority will be increased largely if a fair
vote is taken, and it is possible to compel fair
vote. Naturalization papers stepped in coffee
pots may pass muster in Pennsylvania but
they ought not to affect the result of an cleo
ton in Maine

Since all the men who sought to destroy this

fit that all the men who stood up for the I'm
ion should gather about Grant. 1t is an honor
that will not happen twice in mans lifetime
to have chance to vote for such man as
Grant. NJ young man can well afford to
throw away his chance. Even if done, 1t ought

Charles A. Shaw of Biddeford, Democratic
candidate for Congress. in this district, is the
owner, it is said, of United States bonds to the
amount of $4,000 dollars. Thomas Lane, the
chairman of the York County Democratic
Committee is said to own bonds amounting in
the aggregate to $4,000 Now in view of the
constant bowling of these gentlemen in favor
of bond taxation it becomes matter of some
interest to know if they voluntarily pay mu-
nicpal tax on their government securities
What is to prevent their doing so? Who
stands in the way? Are they sincere in their
professions Of sympathy for the poor man if
they do not of their own sweet will, being men
Of ample means, assist the poor by paying a
voluntary tax. Have you done this Messrs.
Shaw and Lane? We don't want to compel
you to do it because, first, it is illegal; second

TWO MILLIONS, FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND, WOMEN, CHILDREN, ORPHANS
AND LABoRING MEN, who, according to Gov.
Seymour, are COMPULSORY holders at
present prices. The Democratic bondholders
who are capitalists are bound to pay proper
tonate tax on all their government securities;
if they refuse to do so no one will pay any at
tention to their shrieks.

Washington dispatch says that some of
the more rabid Democrats say that Mr.. Pen
dletOn really desires the defeat of Mr.. Sey-
mour, and that the compliments he pays Gen.
Grant in his Maine speeches spring from that
wish. That is the most plausible conjecture
of the campaign. The proof of Mr.. Pendle-
tons apostacy is not to be found, however, in
his fairness toward Grant but in the real val
ne of his services to Republication in Maine
in the way of preaching reputation and tell
ing Copperhead 'whoppers." These things
have added hundreds to the Republican
ranks. --.-..,l .-.-.

The best writers always adapt their
language to the comprehension of those
whom they address. A transparency with
some popular phrase which even the dull
est must understand, will often reach mind
to which elegant rhetoric is incomprehensible
II the Argus is told that Portland shipping
has been reduced to almost nothing, and the
question asked "Who done it?"-the Argus at
once comprehends and writhes under the per-
tinent query. One might go step farther and
charge home upon the Democratic party and
its owners this woful destruction of our marine
interests. 1t would be necessary then to adopt

The WAY they DO Ii In Democratic Otter.

The settlement of the estate of Devlin late
City Chamberlain of New York discloses in a
satisfactory manner the almost penurious con-
duct of Democratic municipal governments.
Devlin had held the office of City Chamber.
lain for four years. AS Chamberlain, all the
city and county funds passed through his
hands, and were deposited by him in bank of
his own selection. His custody of the money
was only nominal; Notwithstanding this he re-
ceived from the city and county some three OF
four hundred thousand dollars. In ad iition
the bank where he deposited the millions OF
the city and county funds paid him 8 IA per
cent. amounting in his four years of Office to
about $4,000. This latter money belonged to
the city and county, and should have been
paid over by Mr.. Devin or by his heirs. The
Democratic party is extremely DESTROYS of re-
form. The manner of reform is however of a
very peculiar nature. Either the CITY Cham
berlain or the Corporation Attorney, Mr..
Richard O. Gormon, gets more money than
would be sufficient to pay the salaries of all
our Custom House officers, including the
eighteen soldiers.

Admiral Porter is an avowed supporter Of
General Grant, and says that no soldier car

John Morrissey is confident that he will re-
ceive the Democratic nomination for Congress

The Bath Times is informed that DR.. Garce.

Hon. Israel Washburn, Jr., and Hon. NJ T.
Ludden will address the citizens OF Lewiston
tomorrow evening. On Friday evening Sena-
tor Fessenden speaks at the same place.
The Tanners of Augusta have recently re-
ceived accessions to the extent of two hun
bred men, and now form two full companies.
A recent vote at Tony Pastors (near Five
Points,) resulted as follows: Grant 30; Sey-
mour 275. ' "''"
The clause in the Democratic platform that
declares in favor of equal taxation upon ev,

bondholders toiustify them in insisting that
the same tax be imposed on homesteads and

A Word TO n esShip.Owner.v

Mr.. EDrToR,-A "Ship Owner" in the Argus
appears to be greatly excited over the trans
parency carried in the procession on Saturday
evening last, representing the old Democratic
ship IN laundering condition, with the mot
to, "one Seymour and down she goes" He
sees through a glass darby" The true in
depreciation of it is simply this: that the old
nulk has been knocking about in so many seas
and storms, and been stranded so many times,
mat she is now in sinking condition. My
dear boy, there is no land in sight; all is dark
ness and despair; no shore; no boats; every
thing gone; she is alone in the deep blue
ocean; no one to succor-no one to save; "one
sea more and down she goes" The arguments
OF the Argus and Post are all In the same
strain. The Post says the Republican party
"cantingly tell their voters how badly Semmes
hurt their interests. Semmes made business
for the ship builders, by every vessel he burn.
ed but radical Congress has voted to destroy
that business, by taxing the ship-building ma
terials out of their reach" The fact appears
SO plain that the only wonder is that it had not
been discovered before. How much trouble
and expense it would have saved if the gov
oinheHt naQ only Deen aware vi tue gnu he
was doing, when they were making such cost
ly exertions to interrupt his career! The
Democratic party loved the laboring man and
was striving to give him more work to do
Semmes was its prophet and missionary, that
was all! but we poor fools of nature ignorant
ly supposed he was doing us great harm by
destroying our commerce
When our Democratic friends shall have
succeeded in obtaining the desired recognition
OF Admiral Semmes's claim upon the graft
tude of the shipping interest through his eff
forts in making business for the ship-builders
we shall expect incendaries to be encouraged
for their usefulness, as for every house the,
burn they make work for the car
| penters and builders. Taking a sensible Dem
ccratic view of the case, New York must re
| greet that the southern "carpet- baggers" failet
in their attempt TO burn that city; it would
have made business so lively for the builders
