The views ofthis correspondent
are eminently correct, save in one
particular. There should be an
early meeting Of the Democratic
party here or elsewhere soon for
permanent organization. And
this party should consist Of all the
honest, decent men Of the State,
irrespective of past combinations,
associations or pledges. They
should come together and consult
as to the best manner Of throwing
off the foul political system Of cor.
ruption which is now weighing
down the people and crushing the
prosperity and advancement Of the
State. 1t is puerile to talk Of ere.

THE New York Sun (Radical)
favors the law recently passed by
Congress for the enforcement Of
the provisions of the Fifteenth
Amendment, and yet while en-
deavoring to make it palitable
even to its own party, is drawn
into these strange and APP
parently incompatible positions.
1t says, "this act seems to
carry the power Of Congress to
an extraordinary extent, and it
will undoubtedly clash with our
old. fashioned, hereditary ideas,
especially on the subject Of the
enjoyment of the right Of suffrage,
and the exclusive control Of the
States over that matter
But it argues that this will not
amount to much with the people !;
that infraction of law, violation Of
precedent, Capitalization Of power,
&c, does possess much terror to
the people, since 1.-THE powers ex.
ercised by Congress during the
war and the reconstruction Of the
Union, almost without question,
have so accustomed the people to
novelties in legislation"
1t admits that some Of the
clauses fare OF rather doubtful
authority" 1t says, to correct
the abuses which have crept into
the exercise Of the elective fran.
chise, ''the friends Of representa-
tive government and Of pure cleo.
tons will consent to almost any
thing which tends to extirpate
them"
Where greater abuses then by the
Radical party in the South, and
show US if it is possible, any re-
lief from Radical abuse Of this
power in the elections held here?
The people Of the South through
this iniquitious bill are powerless
in the hands ofthe negroes. But
says the Sun, to correct abuses of
election, "every good citizen will
yield to its provisions, while at
the same time 1t will be regretted
that there Is any necessary for
the passage Of 50 unprecedented
and stringent . statute.

The JEFF. DAVIS MANSION The War
Department has had proposition pend
ing for some time TO abandon the Davis
mansion 10 Richmond as military
headquarters, and turn it over 10 the
municipal authorities, upon condition
that that CRY will bind herself never to
set up a claim for rent. The city attor-
ney finally recommended the Council to
receive the building under protest, and
reserving the right to prosecute the
claim for rent. The Council referred
the whole matter to the attorney, with
authority to receive the building and
turn it over to The proper city authority.
The War Department will insist upon its
terms, and the executive mansion of the
confederacy is likely 10 remain the
United States properly for the present.

GO TO THE CONVENTION.

The indications are that, owing TO the ex-
traordinary action at Portland, the te-assem-
bling of the Democratic State Convention ut
Bangor will be marked by one Of the largest
gatherings of the Democracy ever held in
the State There is determination among
the members of the party, who have stood
by it in the past and look to it as the hope of
the country in the future, that its integrity
shall be preserved. We say, therefore, to
all our friends who may read these lines,
that they should have their localities repre-
sented at Bangor. 1t may be that the ensuing
canvas will be 4 quiet one, but we are rapid
ly approaching the Presidential election, and
it is important that the organization and
vigor of the party be kept up. We cannot
fritter away our strength and discourage our
friends. by foolish and impracticable schemes
if we are to expect success in the future
Therefore let the Democracy be at Bangor
in force, prepared to pass authoritativcly up
on any and al new schemes that may be
presented.

TURKEY OR TURKEY-BUZZARD.

We have no unkindness Of feeling toward
our friend of the Machias Union, or desire
to indulge spirit of antagonism toward him.
We are only combating certain dangerous
hereses with which he has become innocu-
lated, and concerning the evil Of which we
agree with us. lie saws
We can tell Bro. Simpson that the Democracy Of
Washington County are more than a wears march
in advance of their local organ in the desire to be
alive organization.
We thought them q long way in advance
of all Democratic papers and organizations
when, two years ago, they passed a resolu-
ton tavorng the nomination of u. s. Grant
Whether they have halted for n year, or the
Union at the end of a year started for their
position, or by what means only wears
journeying is now between them we cannot
say. But certainly the declaration of their
organ that the Democratic party is defunct,
and voting its ticket farce, shows that the
Unions sympathy with the supporters of
Grant is lively at this date.
The Union illustrates the position of the
anti-adiourning and anti Chamberlain swal-
lowing Democrats by a little story, thus
just for a little story by way of illustration. A
man was riding a tall horse, day when the
mercury only twelve above zero. His teeth
chartered and his whole frame Shivered with cold.
He was met by a friend who says ''get down and
walk, and you will get warm" The shverng
man said mo, will not; this is a hired horse and
will ride him if freeze" If some of our former
associates conclude to scl, to the old organization
once rallied round, rs just, patriotic and National
the pride of the Democracy we are Sorrv but can
only invite them to get down.
The Union omits the point of the story,
which is that the horse was saw-horse, and
couldn't be spurred into a trot sufficient to
warm a mans blood. The Democratic war
horse is a different animal altogether Now
LET rs illustrate by an anecdote--
Lawyer --was a candidate for the Legislature
in Maryland. On election tour through the
northern portion of Hartford Co., he stopped at
the house of an old farmer, who asked him what he
was. The lawyer, not knowing the farmers poll
ties, and wishing to be on the safe side, answered
crat Republican," "A whaty' GA Democrat Re-
publican repeated the legal gentleman. "Well
SIR said the man of the SOIL slowly, ~ am very
fond of turkey. tery; but don't like turkey -buz-
zard."
Such, we think, will be the sentiment of
the Democracy in this State The invitation
to join the turkey party will not be
largely responded to- The latter half of the
name smells too loud.
