ocratic candidates are Seymour and Blair: Int
the Democratic papers speak only of Blair.
They mean that Blair shall be President. They
mean that the New York programme shall he
carried out. On the other hand, we have
candidate for the Presidency who is worthy to
fill that position, and candidate for the Vice
Presidency who is also worthy of the position.
The speaker closed with glowing eulogy on
Grant and Colfax. By electing them we shall
avoid the evils of divided administration.
The political complexion of the Senate will
not be changed The next House must also be
Republican. The only way to have a harmo-
NOUS administration, is by electing General
Grant. Every thousand that Maine adds to
her majority for him, will add as many thons-
ands to his majority in the great States of
Pennsylvania and Ohio. The alternative is
presented" peace under Grant, or war under
Blair"
HON Z. A. sToRRs,
of Chicago, was next introduced. He said it
was pleasure to him to bring greetings of
good cheer from the people of Illinois to those
of Maine. He did bring good cheer. From
the first word he spoke to his eloquent and
thusiasm of the audience were almost unpre-
cedented. The famous declaration of a des-
pairing reporter, who said in reference to
an eloquent o ator that it was impossible
to report the Aurora Borealis," would apply
to Mr.. Storrs. In reference to him and the
speech he delivered last night, we can only
say this: Let the Republicans in any doubt
full part of the State-if there is such place
compel him, by violence, if necessary, to ad-
dress them. Let him expose the meanness of
the Democratic opposition to negro suffrage,
with the keen and polished satire and exuber-
ant wit in which he is siDgularly felicitous;
let him play Horatio Seymour, as he did last
night, leaving him exposed to the world in all
the hideousness of his treason stained charac-
ter; let him make the comparison between
Seymour, the patent leather hero of New
York, prating of the Constitution while civil
war threatened the life of the nation, to the
man, who, in the midst of a storm at sea, be-
sought his fellow passengers to save his mar
riage certificate while he left his wife to sink
"gurgling into the water" let him not forget
to travesty the Democratic story of the Pro-
digal Son." Ii these measures are taken with
Mr.. Storrs, we will insure large Republican
majority even in Waldoboro.
The meeting broke up at late hour with
cheers for the Republican candidate, for the
speaker, and for the Grant Club.

GEN. LoGAN.-We have been little puzzled
we confess, at the Argus assertion that Logan
was traitor at the beginning OF the war,
since the facts are VIGOROUSLY otherwise
ut now we understand what it means-he
70 as traitor to the COntederacy. When most
of his Democratic associates went over to the
Confederacy, either in body or in spirit, Logan
declared to them that he and the true men OF
the West 'aoould cleave their acay to the sea
wah the sacord to maintain the integrity of the
Union" And they did So We acknowledge
70 the Argus without the slightest hesitation
hat Logan was not true to the Democratic
party after it rebelled. On the contrary he
was one of the first of our great generals who
took the field. He was the general whose di.
vision fired the very last gun of the war. He
was victorious in all his engagements, being
always under the immediate command OF
Grant and Sherman, who both had constitu-
tional prejudice against failure and defeat.
He was faithful to the flag from first to last
and still bears on his person the scars CT sever
al Democratic bullets.

THE ExCURsIoN-The members of the In
ternational Convention, and many ladies' and
gentlemen of our city, were invited to take
sail among the islands in our harbor in the
splendid steamboat John Brooks" AT three
o'clock yesterday afternoon, hundreds were on
board, and the steamer swung of from her
wharf and steered towards Harpswell. The
Portland Band enlivened the excursion by
their excellent music. The weather was fine
and the islands looked green and beautiful
we never seen them look better at this season
OF the year. There were many strangers on
board, and all seemed highly gratifed with
the beauty of the land and water prospects.
The steamer went nearly to Harpswell and
then returned among the islands. 1t was very
fitting and proper that the gentlemen who
came from distant States to attend this Con-
vention, should have the opportunity to see
the capacity of our harbor, which, at no dis
tant day, will become the base of an immense
traffic between the two hemispheres, and this
excursion gave them that privilege. The
management of the steamboat line between
this port and Boston, is entitled to much praise
for granting the use of the "John Brooks +" fol
this excursion. -r-........

The ARMY OF THE JAMEs.-The reunion of
the officers of the "Army of the James" in
Boston, on the I'd of September next, bids fair
to be very interesting occasion. The Journal
says:
From its appropriate name, as well as its
size and position, the ST. James Hotel has been
selected as the headquar tiers. Mr.. Stetson,
with his usual liberality, has offered the use of
rooms for the business meetings, and should
the attendance be too large, the square in front
can be resorted to,
This reunion has in it nothing political; it
is simply desire on the pant of the officers to
meet once more their old comrades, and not to
fght their battles Ger again." but to refresh
their memories of each other, and renew the
friendships formed around the camp fire dur
ing the long winter evenings when they were
waiting for chance to make their mark
They will come from Maine, New Hampshire,
Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois
The Armies of the Cumberland and of the
Tennessee have effected permanent and well
organized societies. This first reunion will
probably be the occasion for forming an asso-
citation of the Army of the James that will be
worthy of the gallant heroes of Fort Harrison
and Fort Fisher.

expedient under the present circumstances of
that Province that the delegates should not
commit themselves to certain measures which
were advanced yesterday. The people of the
Provinces were deeply Interested in the pro-
ceedings of this Convention, and he had no
doubt they would prove beneficial. He then
spoke of the importance of the railway to the
Provinces, contending that the interests OF Brit
ish America are the interests of the United
States. He also spoke briefly in favor of re-

was hearGily applauded during his remarks.

manner in which he has presided over the Con-

liberal offer of the steamer John Brooks for

Mr.. Prentiss said he should be false to the
interests of Bangor did he support the resolu-
ton. He regretted to differ with the speakers
who had so ably addressed the Convention in
the morning. The United States had sold or
given away her timber lands. Maine had sold
hers, and the consequence was that very high
price was asked for stumpage. On the contra
