Gov. Palmers MeasagsIts State Right
Declarations.

SPRlSGFMID, LII, Jan. 1.-THE state
rights declarations contained in Palmer's
inaugural, although couched in language
the least offensive the governor could en-
pov, create great deal Of squirmlng
among tue radicals Of the legislature. They
complain very bitterly Of the attitude the
governor has assumed, although they make
an effort 70 conceal their chagrin, and do
not seem inclined to discuss .he message,
save in little knots by themselves. The
language employed by the governor appears
TO be dlstastefil enough, but It faukIes all
the deeper from the fact that the introduc.
ton OF his state rights doctrines into the
message was purely gratuitous, the governor
going entirely out Of his way and discussing
this question at time when, from a radical
stand point, there exists no especial occa
sion demanding it, They might, perhaps,
manage 10 swallow what the governor says
ON the rights Of the states and the encroach'
mpntq OF the federal government if the gov.

governor does no such thing. Through his
whole message there is not one single sen

are dear 10 the radical heart. Il nowhere
supports the alliance between God and ia.
cobiaism which generally forms the burden
Of our state papers. Not single line ex.

principles, or congratulstes the country up.
on being safe in the hands Of that party. go
The radicals are especially alarmed at this
attitude Of the governor, IN view OF their
apprehensions that Gen. Graut will not
prove to be as sound and true on the loyal
issues as was supposed when he was nomi
nn,ed and elected. They fear that Gen
Grant viii 90 back on them, and lheir peace
Of mind is not the least improved by Gov
Palmer placing himself in position to fol
low Gen. Grant in his secession from the
radical party.

The Truth as it is.

a number Of the citizens Of Maine,
purporting to he true temperance men,
have formed new political party in
order 10 promote the cause OF temper
ance, and protect their sons and
daughter, at the ballot box
Nothing could they have done more
detrimental 10 the cause for which they
profess to labor with earnest zeal, than
10 mingle it with politics. | shall not
however attempt To produce any argu-
ment in favor Of lntemperance-ld dare
not. lntemperance is a great moral
evil, the darkest blot. the foulcst stain.

lightend land; odious in the sight Of
God and curse TO mankind. but
moral suaslon Is the most eifectual IN
driving the demon from the land.
admit the re-establishInent of the
state constabulary. and the enactment
OF certain laws prohibiting the sale of
liquor would greatly aid the temper
auce movement. but when temperance
men organize political body and seek
to gain power and create special laws
for their support, they not only fail
but cast a gloom over the cause for
ever. and these fanatical leaders. like
the prodigal son. will return and beg
admission to their respective parties.
Experience has taught us that when
ever temperance has been directly con,
nected with politics it has proved a
failure. Take warning by the past
act wiser in future. We have beer
looking for signal victory, but alas
we are doomed to defeat. and why Is
this. Simply because our leaders, II
whom we placed implicit confidence
have proved traitors aspiring to hon
or. fame or notoriety, they have pur
sued a course which must eventually
destroy our societies.
Temperance men Of Maine, look thi
matter in the face and see il selfisl

Thus far there appears to be very ga
flying unsnimity In the preference for
General Chamberlai In for the next Republi-
can candidate for governor. The Bath
Time, and Lewiston yoayaaf have express
ed some apprehension. lest his rcnomira-
tion should lead to dissensien. but they
name no other candidate and we trust their
forcbodings will prove groundless. 1.-THE
convention should re-nsminate Governor
Chamberlain by large majority. as now
seems likely, IL will hardly be becoming

that they are minority. The Eennsb,c
