Reuub,;cau Rally.

There was glorious gathering of the people
at Lancaster Hall last evening, in expectation
of hearing Major Haggerty, the Irish orator
and editor of the Irish Republic. The galleries
were filled with ladies', and the floor was
crowded with men,
Major Haggerty not having arrived in the
noon train, the Chairman. of the meeting an
nounced that fact, and said he was expected in
the evening train.
Joshua Dunn, Esq, of Hollis, occupied the
meeting for short time, in one of his enter
tanning and interesting speeches.
He was followed by Hon. George w. Wood
man in some extended remarks upon the pres
ent situation of affairs, aud the efforts of the
rebels once more to attain power.
The cars having arrived and Major Haggerty
not having come, Mr.. Briggs of Connecticut
was called upon to speak. He made some ex-
cellent comments upon the policy proposed by
the Democratic party, and of their endeayors
to depreciate the U. S. bonds, large proper
ton of which is held by the laboring class.
His remarks met with great applause.
The meeting broke up about 10 o'clock. Il

The Voting Lists.

Mr.. EDIToR,-It isn't often that see a copy
of your amiable cotemporary, the Eastern Ar
gus, but one happened to come under my OBJ
servation on Saturday when the FIRST line that
attracted my attention was
400 NAMES OFF THE LISTS"
and Democrats W, re called upon to hand them
in to the Democratic Head Quarters, in Or
der that they may again De entitled to their
rights!
Now Mr.. Editor. if understand this mat
ter, and believe do, there is no striking off
at all. These lists are made up anew every
year by the assessors and assistant assessors of
the latter for each Ward, whose duty it is to
visit every house and shanty inhabited and to
obtain, if possible, the names of all legal voters
who may reside within the bounds of the city.
This task is not an easy one as / happen to
know, as it is only with extreme difficulty
that the names, particularly of our naturalixed
citizens, can be obtained, the women
IN most cases being instructed not
to give names when called upon from
lear of a poll tax which they have per-
1ect horror OF, and to avoid which they resort
TO all sorts OF equivocation and misrepresen-
tatlon; hence, when the lists come from the
hands of the assessors for revision by the Sc
lectmen or aldermen, these gentlemen are
found to be among the missing and a great
hallabaloo is raised by their organ of proscrip
ton, and a rush is made of the prescribed to
get their names upon the voting lists in order to
vote, but by the time the tgr bills are out
the prescribed" are not to be found or heard
from until another election comes round when
10 and behold their names are again left off the
young t'sts by the rascally Republicans, and
tnose lew fellows are or would be deprived of
the r'ght-@ Suffrage were it not for their perio-
dical friends, the Dimercruts, who are so tena-
cious of their right
Now Mr.. Editor, hope our assessor and
collector of taxes will be ON the alert for tbeso
prescribed gintlemen and see to it, that thew
are not overlooked when the tax bills are
made out in the fall VOTER.

Judge James Hughes, for many years one Of
the Recognized Democratic leaders Of Indiana,
is about TO take the stump for Grant and Col
fax. he is very saDguine as to the result OF
the contest in November, aud says Grants ma
jority in Indiana will be greater than Lin
coin g.
One of the most effective Tanner clubs in
Chicago is made up of Irishmen. They are too
patriotic to follow rebel dictation
Baltimore is having a new census taken,
and the questions have been framed in such a
way as to give the Democrats a complete pc
itical canvass of the city, at the expense of the
of the lax payers. One of the present cries of
the party is economy in public expendi-
lures"
A letter written by Occasional" to the Phil
adelphia Press, on the Both of April, 1866, says,
when Grant went to She rman to revise the
terms of Joe Johuson's capitulation, he( Grant,
chad with him only small carpet bag and a
full cigar CASE. The rebels have had dis
like to carpet bags" ever since.
There is a little "sameness" about it; but it
contains pretty much all the arguments found
in Mr.. Blair's letter
The Boston Post says that the New York
Democrat has brick in its hat" So does
your Maine Democrat and your New Hamp-
shire Democrat. So do Democrats every
| where.
John Morrissey is confident that he can have
another nomination in his district, and says he
means to take it, 'A-''a '-' 3%Fs @Eel
Gov. Brownlow in the Knoxville Wing saws
that the Republican party of Tennessee is rap
idly receiving accessions, and that the MAORI
ty for Grant will be at least sixty thousand.
John Lynch voted for impeachment, "a rev.
dictionary scheme which cost millions of dol
lars" says Charles A. Shaw in the Biddeford
Democrat There is mild exaggeration in
your figures Mr.. Shaw, that is accounted for
by your anxiety to occupy Mr.. Lynch's seat
The appropriation was just $4,000 and that
has not been all used. For voting in favor of
impeachment the people of the first district
require no apology from Mr.. Lynch.
Stephen A. Douglass once said of Frank
Blair: "He is the most penicious demagogue

DIR. GARCELoN WITH THE REPUBLICAN,
The Democratic nominee in the Second Dis
trict has thrown dismay into the ranks of the
men who nominated him, by putting forth
this sentiment under his own signature. 1t is
written in a letter accepting the nomination
and signed with his own name. 1t would
have been hard to believe if we had not seen
his name attached to it. Then again it was
published in the Argus and of course we
couldn't help believing it.
DIR. Garceon says this:
Entertaining these views. and sim
cerely DESTROYS of promoting the peace and
prosperity OF The country, acknowledging al
legiance to no party any farther than its prin-
ciples and designs contemplate these results,
shri mixing from no duty, accept the nominal
tiOn rendered me, &c. gst st = ~
There, if that is not an adhesion to the Re.
publican party, then we are no judge of tae
force of language. The doctor is trump.
He goes for "the peace and prosperity Of the
country" and SO does the Republican party.
But unfortunately for our worthy friend,
there is better man than he for Congress in
the Second District, and when the votes are
footed up on the evening of the 18th proximo,
it will be found that SAMUEL P. MORRILL,
will be so far ahead of ALoNzo GARCELoN
that the worthy doctor won't find out till the
next day whether he is at Bull Run or Lewis
ton Grange. The voters of the Second Dis
trict decided on that course of medical treat
ment in the case, several avs ago. a

'EfoSEsTy THE BEST PoijeY"~We uaier-
derstand the Canadian Government has pro-
cured loan OF 100000 pounds in England,
in aid of the building of the Intercolonial rail-
road This loan was obtained attour per cent.
with the addition of a premium OF pou'us
los on hundred. This was the amount OF the
loan called for by the proposal. Ten million
pounds were offered. This shows conclusive
" how plentiful money is in Europe, and with
an intention to live up to its obligation, and an
assurance that it will, any country might OBJ
tain money there on the most favorable terms.
This country would find it equally easy to
obtain money ON lower terms than it is at
present paying, were it not for that class of
politicians who are seeking to ruin its credit
by false pretences. The alarm in the money
marts, both abroad and at home, keeps pace
with the efforts of unprincipled men, who for
their own ACKNOWLEDGMENT would blast the
fair prospects OF our country.
Senator Shermau's ideas ON this subject, are
of this character The funding bill was the
result. 1t proposed to save millions OF dollars
to the country in way of interest. The bill
passed Congress, that destructive, extravagant
Congress, which it warmes the heart OF the
| opposition to abuse; but the President-one OF
the candidates of the New York Cow entlon
for the Presidency refuses to sign the bili,and
it falls dead. And yet they pirate about econ
omy and taxes, and high living, as though all
means were not used by that desperate minor
ity to hinder any change for the better We
say minority" and we mean it The day is
| long distant when so destructive combina-
ton of odd and ends, bent on rule or ruin, will
ever be anything but in hopeless minority in
this country.

A DANGEROUS ANIMAL.-The Argus is very
uncomfortable about the "Lobster Brigade"
as it facetiously terms the successful organiza-
ton of our young men in support of the coun
try. Tehre was an organization of this class
of our citizens in the time of the war. They
were numbered by thousands and carried mus
kets. They used that dangerous weapon.
Many of the friends of the Argus were wound
ed by that deadly weapon. Some were killed.
jeff Davis might have fallen in that way one
pleasant morning, if feminine garments had
not protected him. The Argus has always
had an ugly feeling about the boldness of
these young men, and now it abuses them.
Look out a little in that direction. The Lob
ster is strong bird 1t presses terribly with
those hideous claws. Look well to yourselves,
Messrs. Argus; that pressure which does not
relax its tenacity till the victim falls dead,
will come upon your political body to give it
one fraternal hug from which embrace no
monstrosity ever arises.

worthless will win, but do not crave. 1t will
follow the elections of this fall, and will fall
upon them like the stiffness of the grave No
resurrection to the Argus junto from that po-
litical funeral of all their hopes, aspirations

tied burial, the last their deceived followers
will hear from them, gurgling up, as they 90
down, will be, fainter and fainter still-"Let

DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY IN MARYLAND.-The
characteristics OF Democracy are the same ev-

their arms deeper into the treasury keep them
there longer and take more out than their Re-
publican opponents have ever done under SIM
liar circumstances. We have in the case of
Maryland fresh illustration. A Washington
dispatch says: ~
The Baltimore American has prepared a
statement of the appropriation made by the
late Democratic legislature OF Maryland, Civ
ing all the items. There were no Republicans
in the legislature. The Democratic convention
of 1865 cost the people $125 900, but immediate
ly following upon its adjournment comes
body that appropriates $8,618 890.32 in carrying
out its plans for the restoration to place and
power of the men who, in many instances,
were engaged but q few years ago in deyastat-
ing the homes and firesdes of those who are
now taxed for their support, and in other in
stances to elevate to position men who at
tempt to drive and then drag Maryland into
