The result in Virginia is a disappointment to
almost everybody, and the occasion of the di-
version OF so great number of the colored
voters to the Walker interest is only imper.
fectly understood, at the present writing, but
will be made plain when the s'bacl towns
make up the whole history. 1t would seem
that Walkers majority is at least 10000, and
that the election is generally in favor OF the
Conservative" interest. As1
The Washington correspondent of the Bos-
ton Journal has the following interesting Cos
sip concerning the animus of the Walker
move:
AS soon as it was definitely ascertained last
night that Virginia had gone for Walker. a
dispatch was sent to Mississippi that judge
Dent, brother-in-law Of the President, would
consent to run as the Conservative Republican
candidate for Governor of Mississippi Judge
Dent owns plantation down there and claims
to be citizen of that State. This fact is taken
as an indication that the influence of the Ad-
ministraton will be cast in favor Of the Con
ser vatlye Republican parties in Mississippi and
and Texas in the pending contests in those
States. Others here say that the Administra-
ton was waiting the result in Virginia before
taking decided position, and that it now sees
that the best way to secure the early recon-
struction of the States named is to favor the
Conservative Republican side as being most
acceptable to the people of the South general
ly, and as affording the basis for the most sub
stantial reconstruction. a very few days will
develop the policy on these questions
Latest,-Walker'sm majority in forty-two coun-
ties is 1000. All of Wells strong counties
have been heard from. Those counties still to
be heard from will nearly double Walkers
majority. The Conservatives have got about
30 majority on joint ballot in the Legislature
and have elected all their Congressman but
three, who are Potter, Porter and Norton, coll

Correspondence of fhe Portland Press.
Mr.. EDrToR,--In your editorial of the Sd
inst, in speaking of the Temperance conven-
ton recently held in Portland, my name is
used in such manner as to place me in
false position. am represented as being op-
posed to State police or "constabulary." This
was not the position which took in the con-
vention / ami in favor of State police, and
do not believe the laws of the State can be
vigorously and impartially enforced with
out State constabulary. My position was
simply one of expediency. believe that the
Republican party are sincere in the deolara-
tons made IN their platform adopted at their
convention at Bangor, and that Gov. Cham
berlaln, IN his letter OF acceptance, will plant
himself squarely upon that platform. sboud
he do so the formation of third partv with
independent candidates is not only inexnedi-
ent but very un wise. There is no real division
among the temperance men OF Maine. There
is only difference of opinion with reference
to the best methods of carrying out their
views. A majority of the members of the
temperance convention believe that it can be
done only by distinct organization, while /
think majority Of the temperance men of
Maine believe that the only feasible wav is to
remain in the Republican party and hold that
party strictly to their platform of Prohibition
with its rigorous and impartial enforcement"
My views and action, as at present advised, are
with the ast-named class. But should the
party prove recreant to their pledge, or should
Gov. Chamberlain, in his letter of acceptance,
ignore the Prohbitory resolution in the plat
form, should not be surprised if you would
see more "bolting" than you now dream Of
Allow me to say, that 1 regret exceedingly,
the manner in which many of the Republican
papers of the State, treat the movement Of the
Temperance Convention 1 DO not think it
the better way to advance the cause. They

THE PRESS
Thursday Morning; July 8, 1869


FoRwARD-The representatives of the Re
publican party have met in convention, per-
formed the duty imposed upon them, and adj
journed. The standard bearer has been select
ed and the principles and purposes of the or
ganization tersely and boldly proclaimed.
The duty of eIecting the candidate AID of
giving force, vitality and effect to the declara-
ton of principles, lies with the great body of
the party.
Nothing further can be done by proxy. The
convention at Bangor sounded the reveille
which summons all true Republicans to the
post of duty. That summons is to each indi-
vidual in propria persones 4
The important daty of arousing the indifer7
ent of attending to details and finally OF de-
posting ballots cannot be delegated to others
1t is not expected that the same interest and
enthusiasm which characterized the last CAM
paign, will characterize the one upon which
we have just entered. Perhaps, if possible it
would not be desirable. A presidential cam
paign involves great deal of "wear and tear"
and the loss of time and money to nearly ey-
erybody who takes the slightest interest in the
result. Excursions, professions, banners,
music, torch-lghts gunpowder and speeches
do well once in four years, but would lose half
their significance and effect, if employed in
the conduct of each annual campaign. But
the absence of streaming banners, artillery sa-
lutes and martial music is no excuse for the
absence of persistent effort to secure victory.
1t should not be forgotten that tie battle is
not for this year alone, and that the result will
affect us in the years to come, when questions
of greater moment must be met, discussed and
settled
Indeed, the absence of last years ''pomp and
circumstance" is a reason why greater efforts
should be put forth to induce men loving the
party and its great cause, to enter into the
campaign with quiet vig)r. 1t will not be less
effective because undemonstrative Calm, dis
passionate personal appeals in behalf of cor
rect principles are always effective. [
The past demonstrates that the party in this
State is irresistible in hand to hand or open
field fight Should 1t prove equal to the task
of overcoming the apathy consequent upon the
lack of great national issnes the indifference
usually succeeding presidential election and
the malign influence and general eussed-
ness of the few old bummers and camp fol-
lowers, who think their disappointment as Of
fee-seekers sufficient cause for attempting to
consign the whole concern to the 'sdemnition
bow-wows,' the party will have proved itself
invincble and be saved deal Of work in the
years to come. 7fsa.ffi stilfa

movement to have been unwise, those who
took that position are not fanatics, but, on the
contrary, a large majority of them are among
the most reliable men of the State, and
have always acted with the Republican party.
