The Canvass in Maine

Appears to be at blood heat. Both par
ties are straining every nerve for success,
but the Republicans seem to be over-leap-
ing the Copperheads and bid fair to distance
their rivals in the chase. Ex-senator Cres-
well is doing his duty in the star of the East
State. The Bangor Wig in giving an ac-
count of a monster demonstration and flag
raising by the Grant Club of Oldtown, says:
After the organization of the meeting A.
B. Weed, Esq, chairman introduced Hon.
J. A. J. Creswell, ex-senator from Mary
land, as the first speaker of the evening -
Mr.. Cresswel spoke for three quarters ofan
hour in an able and eloquent manner, fire.
quently interrupted by the loud cheers and
applause of the multitude. During his re-
marks he gave the best definition between a
copperhead and rebel that we have heard
A rebel is a courageous copperhead, while
a copperhead is cowardly rebel"

Local MIscEILASY.-"T The Sins of Elk
ton = will be the topic of the Sunday evening
sermon, Aug. 30th, at the Methodist Church
in this town. We predict for Rev. Matlack
a full house on this occasion, and we are
sure all will be we'll repaid for their attend
ance.
Henry r. Torbert, Esq, who has been
absent several weeks at fashionable water
ing place, returned home on Saturday last.
The Westamwell Sunday sckool held their
annual pic mic, in the grove of Hon. Hiram
Mccullough, on Wednesday last.
The large unoccupied room, in the base
ment of the Odd Fellows Hall, is now be-
ing fitted up for an eating saloon exclusively:
no liquor of any kind being connected there
with. Elkton has long needed just such an
institution, and it will pay if properly kept.
The party who rented it is a colored man
from Chesterville, Kent county, Md.
On Friday and Saturday evenings, Sep
TENDER 4th and 9TH, the celebrated Lubin
Brothers, Magicians and lllusioniss, will
give two grand entertainments in the Odd
Fellows Hall, Elkton. On the latter even
ing the drawing of the $500 Odd Fellows
Lottery Scheme will take place. See adv.

The "Democracy" of Cecil held a
County Convention at Elkton, on Tuesday
last, and selected Col. J. j Heckart, Andrew
Pennington, Albert Constable, Clinton Nc
Cullough and Alexander Briscoe to repre-
sent the party in Baltimore, on the I'd of
September, at which time the unterrifed as
semble in State Convention to nominate
electors of President and Vice President
No Conservatives name appears among
those chosen on Tuesday to represent the
party in the State Convention. None are
found there but the simon pure, who endors-
ed the Baltimore mob of the 10Th of April
and favored general uprising of the people
of the State to drive back-or rather "try
at it - the" northern hordes " and Evan
dals /" from the sacred soil p" of Maryland.
Quietly that auxiliary is put aside, having
served its purpose, and fullblown rebels
are placed in the van. Preparing to rise to
the charge over the ramparts under Blair,
those men of straw, which they have carried
for concealment, are now left behind.

PETIT JURY.

THE TIIRASIIING MACHINE TRIALAr New
ARK.-An interesting thrashing match took
place at " Granite Ill.," d J. Murphey's farm
at Newark, Del, on Wednesday, between the
Wheeler, & Merrick & Co.'S three horse, thrash
err and cleaner, and the % Diamond State three
horse thrasher and cleaner, made by Casino &
Co., at Newark Del. Three impartial and Judi
cious judges were appointed by each party, and
these six selected another, who decided on the
merits of the machines. Between two and three
hundred PERSONS many from Il distance, we.e
present, taking much interest in the contest
Each party thrashcd from the same NOW of
wheat, which had been reaped from the same
field. At about halfpast two o'clock the chair
man Of the Judges called the attention of the
visitors, when the following rules, which had
been previously agreed upon, We're read:
]. The machines shall be set perfectly salts
factory to the parties entering them.
2. Each machine shall run onc-halfhour The
Wheeler machine, the challenging party, shall
thrash the first half hour,-then the Diamond
State one half hour and thus alternately, until
the ial is through.
3. No allowance for this shall be made, ex-
shall keep strict account.
4. An account of the exact number of doz-
ems of sheaves thrashed in the one-half hour,
shall be kept by two persons appointed by the
Judges. Also an exact account of the number
of bushels of grain, struck measure shall be kept
by two persons selected by the Judges.
5. The management of running OF each ma
chine shall be in the care of the respective par
ties entering the machine, on the trial.
6. A ring shall be drawn encircing each ma
chine, snl at ten (IO) feet from them, inside of
of which no persons 1t the Judges aud par
ties shall enter while machine are running.
:. The test of the ability OF the machines
shall consist in the rapdity of thrashing, the per-
fiction of the work, and the cleanness of the
grain when ready for the measure.
g. The horses used on one power shall be used
on the other alternately one half hour at ii me.
The Wheeler machine, being the challenging
party, opened the contest, thrashng in half
hour 3Os dozen of sheaves, turning out III bu
of wheat The Diamond State" then, in the
next half hour thrashed 81 dozen and sheavrs,
turning out l3a bushels. new pair of horses
was then procured, according to rule 8, and
the Diamond State in the following half hour
thrashed :6 dozen and 3 sheaves, turning out
I4a bushels. The Wheeler machine thraslng
(thc horses which were on Diamond State pow
er first being used) "a dozen and 3 sheavcs,
turning out III bushels in the following halt
hour.
The Judges then adjourned to the Deer Park
Hotel, where sumptuous supper had been
served by the proprietor, B. F. Ierdman, and
unanimously decided in favor of the Diamond
State machine This decision seemed 10 be
sustained by almost all the visitors AS each
power was elevated the same (234 in. and all
things being equal rs possible, it is thought to
have been an exceedingly fair test.
