J,.E. IBurLER. ESQ, ;-Hayipg been among
the Republicans of the ossipee towns for the
last few days, l have harmed more Of the SEN
timnent Of the candid, leading members, Of the
party, and am surprised that the feeling Of re
sistaace to what seems fragrant Outrage up
on, the county rights. isso strong and 50 deep.
Blink at il as many ,Oiil, II, the time has rot
already come. II will come, and speedily, too.
when party allegiance win not be the strong
chain to bind unwilling souls in servlle oJedishse-
The young men, the. majority Of whom are
strong. active Republicans, demand q hearing
Of their claims, and il denied, dare rcbci,
whether party leaders old aud bigoted, piH 1t
or not. u The cry, call is fair in politics. will
not answer. Interested officials, whose only de-
sire Is to cling to office, and WORKOUT party
leaders, must give, way, or in some way ac-
knowledge the. growing claims and rights OF
the rising generation, 1t will not answer to
call the young men Of York county, who are
the bone and sinew Of the party, "gushing
simpletops, I" or "veriant /" for that Is no ar
gamsut. The sin Of being young is common
to all in the course Of o life time, and some
times age does not effect the cure. At any
rate, the remarks Of Neal Dow at the District
Convention, were strong evidence that his
Of. human nature had not improved
during the. last twenty years. II shame did
ever mantle his cheek. we have wondered he
did not cslhfor glass, when he closed his re-
marks that he might know the cause Of the
strange sensation! Republicans Of cumber-.
land, please send to District Conventions here
after, some better representative man than Neal
Dow. than whom no better disorganiIer or dis
'tnrber Of, aeandd feeling can be produced.
Had his tongue been tied. even II his presence
was to be endured, more harmony, IL not per-
feet Cancellation would have been the result. o.,
Because have strength have no moral !Or
political right to unduly exercise it. Because
Cumberland was strong in delegates and infla.
cnce, aud was fortunate in the possessions, Of
the Representative to Congress. was II just and
polite. in the face Of implied agreements. and
established usgr. TO "force York to the wall"
as n certain member Of the District Committee
declared was the intention, Was John Lynch,
honest. and Of work indef4tigable as he IS. TO
sacrifice himsslf or his pdrty' Is any man too
good and pure to step aside, for the good Of the
party, even though he Is loaded with honors,
and lntrustcd political friends urge him to still
cling to his official position. What are the us
ual results. and whittier do such Jung :nerous
action tendi Ask Of the many political changes
all over the country, which happen from time
to time, and wonder why men Of generally acute
minds do not heed those thunderings from the
masses, however full Of gushing simplicity
or like whipped spaniels'' they may be! urp,
1t Is no use tn say that York County had no
right in particular with the First District, for
common sense viii teach otherwise. The unity
of the party, the good results Of that unity as
manifested in County organizations. and COM
mon recognition Of equal representative rights :,
are facts patent to all who know any thing Of
political nsces sities and success. Deny one Of
these rights. and down goes the political struct-
ion, denoishing all who stand In the way, as
men in the First District will learn to their
shame and confusion, IL they persist in this
effort as illustrated at the late convention.
Tho Republican party is strong, but not strong
enough to have dissensions arise among its own
best friends, caused by unfalness and chicanery.
Lot all heed the many warnings Of the past! 3, i

If PArsons6eld alone. does not cast twice that
number agaiasi him, he will lose more than that
number BY ''cuttingr' The heaven ofdisafeo-

suit Of this election, but as evils do not come

usurpAiion will not or may not be the pivot on
which our destiny Is a p,rty in the District and
County win turn. Theren deep. strong feeling
