BOLTING.
From the N. Y. Tribune,

From the N. Y. Tribune.
When no great national question is to be
decided, the Republicans are fond of showing
their Independence. A third of them decline
to vote at all; about as many more split off on
all manner of side issues. Thus, though the
late Republican State Convention of Maine
resolved in favor of liquor prohibition-which
we think no Republican State Convention
ever did before-certain jealous temperance
men have since held State convention and
nominated a distinct candidate for Governor
Of course, they will not elect him, nor will
they beat Governor Chamberlain; but they are
very likely to throw the election into the eLegsla-
ture. In Massachusetts, though the Governor
is a prohibitionist, and the Legislature has
just passed stringent prohibitory law, some
red-hot temperance men say they will bolt this
fall-probably to balance the free-drink Re-
publcans who will vote for John Quincy
| Adams From Pennsylvania we hear that
some Republicans threaten to vote against
Governor Geary-others will not vote at all
and SO on. 1t looks as though this would be
good year for boiling
| Very well, gentlemen, go ahead! If such
humors pervade the body polite better bring
them to the surface at once. Boiling is
wholesome and highly conservative institu-
| ton, though radicals seem exceptionally fond
| of it. Scolding or whining does no good; SO
| let every one bolt who will, and be done with
| it, You will feel better for it, we presume,
| and put yourselves in shape to take hold like
true men next year, when we have House
of Representatives to choose and several
Senators depending. Let us get the boiling
| done up this year and out of the way, so that
| we may all pull together next season. There
| is temporary vexation in bolt, but perma-
nent good often comes of it; and we urge all
! who mean to bolt some time to do it this year
| and have done with it.
