THE ELECTION OF PREsIDENT.-rhe Argus

Southern States to select electors of President
and Vice-Presideat through the legislatures
elected by the people. 1t never complained
when in the good old Democratic State of
South Carolina the legislature elected By about
forty per cent. Of the people chose electors. No
other method was ever adopted there. So long
as the power was in the hands of landed aris-

Saturday large assemblage of the citizens
of Cape Elizabeth met at the Town House in
that place for the purpose of raising Union
flag with the names of Grant and Colfax in
scribed thereon. Owing to some misunder-
standing, the Portland Band did not arrive
until a late hour, and as the rain commenced
falling, it was deemed best to adjourn to the
meeting house close by for the speech making.
The meeting having been called to order, with
the Rev, Mr.. Prichard as presiding officer
Hon. w. FL. Vinton, of Gray was announced
as the first speaker. Mr.. V. made telling and
effective speech, and was followed by COL
Mckee, of Tennessee, who thoroughly exposed
and held up to view the hypocrisy of the Dem
ocratic party for the last eli sht years. His re-
view Of the action of that party during that
time was one of the most convincing argu-
ments why the loyal men of the whole Union
should put no trust in them, we have ever
heard. e,-+st+ .Igi.5 s.v.5tva- .le-lt +
After Col. Mckee had closed, the assembly,
with the Portland Band at the head, marched
to the place where the flag was to be raised.
Amid the playing of the band, and the loud
and enthusiastic cheering of the large multi
tude, a beautiful flag was flung to the breeze
At eleven o'clock the crowd began to disperse,

dates and the speakers who had addressed
them. ~ fa a9ur5.flls -ieas- IL 73T 3. 7.-,.i i.r
