Gen. Grant Warned Against Re
construction.

Senator DooLrTTLE, in speech he made
at Milwaukee on, the, Sd inst, which we
published q few days ago, says that both
General GRANT and General SHERMAN, two
years and, a, half ago, authorized him to
warn the people Of Wisconsin against the
consequences, of Reconstruction. They
then predicted that nothing but a standing
army could prevent, Civil War under exist
ing measures. The measures which they
authorized Senator DooLITTLE to warn his
people against as calculated to produce
Civil War General GRANT is now pledged
to support, and yet there is no evidences
that these measures, if persisted in, will moi
produce Civil War. Such man, with
shifting opinions, is not the man to be
elected President in these trying times.

Read the speech Of Hon. GEORGE F. Com
STOCK, which was delivered by him on the
lst at Syracuse, New York. 1t is decided
ly one of the best speeches that has YET
been delivered on the subject of Green
backs and Bond Taxation. 1t shows, too
that New York Democrats and Western
Democrats agree on these two vital ques-
tions. 1t shows that the Democratic Flat
form was not constructed to cheat the peo.
pie, as Mr.. THOMPSON, the author, says the
Chicago Platform was framed to do.

Hts Thoughts Running to Grave.
yards.

The Journal is very nervous. The mere
mention that the Democracy are gaining
fast-that everything looks well for the
Democracy-is suggestive of the grave
yard to it. Well, this is natural, no doubt.
Dying men suggest to their friends the
graveyard. 1t must be the same with dying
parties, and hence the Journal talks of
graveyards.
When party outgrows its usefulness
when it becomes rotten and corrupt, as the
Republican party has become, it is time 1t
should die and be buried out of sight
The Journal should, betimes, do as Republi-
can papers in Wisconsin are doing-haul
down the names Of GRANT and CoLFAx and
run up the names of SEYMOUR and BLAIR.

WE learn from the Bro,on County Ne,os
that on Friday evening last, the barn of
Joseph Canon, Esq, of Whiteoak town
ship, one mile from Mowrytown, Highland
county, was struck by lightning, set on fire,
and was burned up, with a large lot of
grain, &C. There were several men and
two children in the barn at the time. some
of whom were severely shocked, but none
killed. Several horses were got out of the
barn and saved. The loss is severe upon
him. T7t y1fd'oG ytaa. c=Js ss'p5.rilef

CHANCES /! Changes I

The changes which are going on in this
State, from the pseudo Democracy to Repub.
lcan principles, are among the NOSE gloriou:
precursors of success. OF some of them the
trembling and affrighted Seymourites are
aware; they learn of them from day to day
But the extent of this grand reaction is known
to but few For motives of prudence changes
are not always to be made public. PesecutIon
would follow, and other mean acts. So the
ballot is to show in many cases, where it was
not dreamed of before. There probably never
was a greater political reaction in this State
than now! Some of these changes astonish us.
Lifelong Democrats say, "never more with
that party. 1t is a party of destruction. They
have had my last vote" -....-, ff.....,
No wonder the faces of Republicans are radi-
ant with Joy; or that the knees of the Democ-
racy smite each other with fearful looking
for of Judgment to come. "The wickedest
man in New York" is as happy as babe,
when compared with these destructives, who
sought to carry the State bound hand and foot,
into the camp of the enemy-but find them
selves deserted daily by hosts of honest sup
porters, and are fain to cry out, with brother
Democrats of olden times, "My punishment is
greater than can bear!" .. ...l.. -4o-.,.Tl 10.

PERsoNAL.-Hon. B. W. Norris, M. c., OF
Alabama, passed through our city few days
since, on his return to his home in Montgom
cry. He has been on a brief visit to his old
friends in the county of Somerset-the place
of his former residence. The people of Maine
retain the kindliest recollections of Major
Norris as an upright citizen and public Off
Ger of character, efficiency and integrity. The
Republicans especially remember him for his
fidelity, his zeal and his persistent lsbors in
upholding the principles of our party in many
heated contest in the past. We are glad to
know that these qualities have been appreciate
ed by his fellov-citizens of Alabama, and we
are sure that they did wisely in selecting him
as Representative to Congress- We are con-
ndent that no man will prove more faithful to
MS constituents than Major Norris, and his
extensive acquaintance among leading and in
iueh''ai Republicans of the North will enable
MN to serve his constituents with peculiar
success in Congress-

EVERYBODY FULL
@1 OF GLORY.

The morning trains of yesterday gave indi-
cations of large gathering of the people from
the country towns to listen to the eloquent or
ators who were to address the Republicans in
this city .a.a 81
The Portland and Rochester. train was
crowded, so that passengers had to be denied
seats. The train from Saco and Biddeford
brought goodly number, and so did the reg
ular train on the Grand Trunk road. A
special train was run on this road, but in con-
sequence of no information of this train hay
ing been given, although it was promised, only
about one hundred came in ON it. People
from the adjoining towns came in in various
ways and in the forenoon our streets were
lively with pedestrians. -s sFs
The noon train from Portsmouth added
largely to the number, and SO did the after
noon train on the Grand Trunk, Portland &
Kennebec and Portland and Rochester rail-
roads. Lorings Yarmouth Band came in on
the Portland & Kennebec train, and quite a
large number of the Yarmouth club came in
on the Grand Trunk train in order to hear the
speaking in the afternoon.
The front of the City Building was decorat-
gu Will HdBS anu UuHIuS. LIE AmeTlCdn
flag was also flying from the cupola. The Fall
mouth Hotel, the Preble House and United
States Hotel displayed their flags, and others
were floating in various parts of the city.
The headquarters of the Republicans, Lam
caster Hall, was finely decorated, and until
the meeting in the afternoon was thronged by
enthusiastic friends of equal rights. All who
came in from country towns brought cheering
reports for the triumphant success of our glo-
rious cause on Monday evening. snsss-s 7..
e CITY HALL
Just before the hour appointed for the af-
ternoon meeting drizzling rain set in. 1t
rained just enough to keep people away if they
were not drawn thither by some motive of
more than ordinary potency. But it mattered
not. The hall was crow ded as it never before
was crowded at an afternoon meeting. On
the stand were seated the seven crippled SOL
diers whom Secretary Welles discharged from
the Kittery Navy Yard the other day. Their
presence was more eloquent than all the elo-
quent words that were spoken. About three
O'Clock the meeting was called to order by N.
A. Foster, Esq, of the City Committee, who
announced the following officers:

The Tac ON ManuSucf,,res.

When it is alleged that the Radical Congress
has not reduced the taxes. the following state
ment will constitute fair answer. The tax on
Manufactures in the first Maine district is near
ly FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND DOL
LARS LESS this year than last. The Copper
heads say that the poor men pay these taxes,
and so the poor of this district are indebted to
a Radical Congress to that extent for tighten
ing the burdens imposed by a Democratic re-
bellion. ..T Of.
