THE PARTY OF REPUDLATYON.

Is tie honest payment Of the public debt
completely assured? The Albany Journal
holds that the democratic members of Con-
gress the other day furnished an answer
and most significant and suggestive ans
wer-to this interrogatory. With six ex-
ceptions, they voted for apropositiom to pay
the national debt in greenbacks. They again
unqualifedly took the position which they
have heretofore repeatedly assumed, in
National Conventions, in State Conven-
tons. in Congress--whererer Democracy
could give authoritative expression to its
principles.
We need not stop to ask whether pay
ment of the debt in greenbacks is honest
payment. Upon that point the country
has fully made up its mind. Every intel
ligent man knows that payment in green
backs is but another name for REPUDLA-
TZON-that it is a distinct riotation Of the
nations plighted faith. and that it would
entitle all the multiplied evils Of undts-
guised reputation. The vote of the DEM
ocratic members of the National House OF
Representatives is another assurance that
the "honest payment of the public debt
and the preservation of the national honor
can only be secured by the continued pre-
dominance Of the Republican party.

THE KNIcKERBoCKER LIFE ISs. Co.-This
popular company is doing an excellent bust
ness in Kennebec county-and well it may, if
one half of what many of the most popular
Journals Of the country say of it is true. For
instance, "The Independent" of New York
says; "of all our insurance companies there
is not one that makes better progress than the
Knickerbocker Life; nor is there one that
more eminently deserves its prosperity and
success" c. F. White, the assistant mana
ger for this State, is their travelling agent in
this vicinity.
The danger of delaying insurance was
strikingly illustrated few weeks since in the
case of a gentleman in this county insured by
Mr.. White, who, when when the policy was
brought to him, hestated about taking it
thinking he might better invest his money
In about three weeks he died, and his family
lost the benefit of the insurance. Let those
who are not insured be admonished.

ing the action of the Maine Democratic
State Convention:
s'The question is, what are the feelings OF
Mr.. Chamberlain? He may oppose the Rad
icals on some leading questions. That is not
enough. Does he agree with the Democrats
on the great issue of Union and fraternity,
and the equality of the States? If not, the
Democrats cannot make him their candidate
without demolishing their party.
What are the views of Mr.. Chamberlain
on the great questions of the dayf The an

LETTER FROM MECHANIC FALLS.

MECHANIC FALLS, Me. july 7, 1870.
To the Editor Of the Kennebee Journal:
"The day we celebrate" was duly observed
at this place by the customary parade ofFantas-
tics, Firemen and Soldiers with exercises
such as reading the Declaration of Indepen-
dencc, Grafton, Base Ball etc. ETC., ending
with Fireworks in the evening.
1t is noticeable that Rum played very
small part in the affairs of the day. Old res
idents declare it the most quiet Fourth of July
IN that respect ever witnessed here. Since
the 'rum-holes" were closed up, by indicting
liquor drinking are seldom seen. 1t would
be strange indeed if rum as a beverage was
not used here-but il is sold if at all son the

There is no Lodge of Good Tcmplars here
at present, but the temperance men are ex-
pecting soon to organize one. A great objec-
ton is, that a former Lodge was abandoned
in consequence of the frequency of many of
its members drinking. Too many were
admitted who were not temperance men at
heart and joined to break up the organization,
rather than to reform themselves.
The nomination of VIM. P. Frye for Con-
gress in this District gives very general salts
faction to the Republicans. At this state
of our national existense, there is need
of Representative men to guide us through
the many difficulties that surround us.
Let such men be sought after, and obtained
if possible. There are many reforms to be
introduced, many abuses cured. Minority
representation is attracting considerable at
tention and trust the time is not far distant
when it shall be the law in every State in the
Union.
Mr.. Frye will do credit to himself, honor
his District and his country at the nation S

To ALL WHOM IT MAY CoSCERN.--I have
this day made thorough practical test of the
merits of the saving machine now being ex-
hibitcd by II. G. c. T. Smith, at le5 Water
Street With one man to assist me we saw
ed what would be equivalent to 500 feet run
ming measure of inch board, in less than one
hour. l never had man in my employ who
would do the same amount Of saving in ten
hours, to say nothing of the superiority of the
work and the saving of the lumber, which
was fully twenty-five per cent in favor Of the
machine. w. III. VIVIAN.

MAINE HIsToRIcAL SoCIETY.--The Maine
one of the institutions of the State. In 1892,
the Portland Argus states, as the State Gov
eminent had become established, the Hon.
Ashur Ware, Secretary of State, suggested
the formation of the Historical Society,
whose business it was declared to be, to ''col-
lect and preserve as far as the state of their
funds would admit whatever in their opinion
may tend to explain and illustrate any depart
ment of civil, ecclesiastical, and natural histo-
~, especially in this State and of the United
from different parts of the State, most prom
inent at that time in the department of law,
letters, theology and medicine, and promi-
nent in public affairs, to constitute the society
the most venerable of which were Judge Sc.
wall of York, then in the SO year of his age ;
DR.. Benjamin Vaughan of Hallowell, in his
74th year; Prentiss Mellen, Chief Justice at
that time aged SO, and Judge Bridge of Angus
ia, aged 5S, while the youngest members at
the time were Hon. Ether Shepley, aged SO
years, and Peleg Sprague at that time 30.
Four only of the original members remain
alive, the venerable Judge Ware, now in his
seth year, Ex-Chicf Justice Weston of Au-
gusta of the same age, Hon. Peleg Sprague
now in his 18th, now resident of Boston, and
Ex- Chief Justice Shepley now in the enjoy
ment of green old age in his so year.
The seven volumes published by the Maine
Historical Society as to first series prior to
1857 are works of very great interest. Dur
ring the last ten years, the labors of the soci-
ETY. have been largely directed to the investi
CATION of the earliest discovery of the coast of
Maine and the struggle of rival races for its
possession, and the great work of DIR. Kohl,
published in 1869, has attracted attention
throughout this country and Europe, devoted
to the discovery of the northeast coast of
North America. The Territory of Maine was
the theatre of all the early movements to pos
sess the country. Other volumes of equal
interest are soon to follow.

The celebrated Centrifugal Threshing and
Saving Machines, full description of which
has heretofore appeared in our columns, are
still on exhibition by the Messrs. Smith, at
the store on Water ST., one door south of the
First National Bank, where they are still at
tracing large crowds of people, who arc
forced to admire the principle involved in
their construction and perfectness of action.
When put to the test they are found equal to
any emergency. Mr.. VIM. H. Vivian of
this city, practical mechanic, has recently
had occasion to use the saving machine in
his business, and is greatly pleased with its
operations. The other day he had some inch
stuff, three feet in length, which he desired
to split into threeinch strips. One hour
with this machine enabled him to do the
work, which with common saw and by the
ordinary process, would require one man a
whole day to perform. The lumber was cut
in good shape. Mr.. Vivian is of the opinion
that great saving of lumber can be made
by carpenter residing out of the range of
power shops, who is furnished with this ma
chine. He put his name at once to paper
signifying his opinion of its merits. And so
it is. Practical business men at once see
that there is money in these machines, and
all that is needed is to bring them before the
public to ensure a ready sale. We hope that
some of our shrewd business men will see
enough in these machines to engage in their
manufacture here, and secure for the town
the benefit of an increased business.

ular. Jesus has declared Gods love to sin
sinners confidence in that divine love. Faith
thus becomes an inspiration at every moment
quickening to the enthusiasm of life of love.
Here we notice these peculiarities of
tue the element of personal love. The heart
responds to the appeal of Jesus, "For my
sake" This inspires enthusiasm. 1t trans
forms law into life, and duty into love. 1t
combines the two mightiest springs of action,
the firmness of principle founded on the con-
victon of reason, the voice of conscience
Hence 1t gives the moral element a promi-
hence and power in the life of the individual
and Of society, which philosophy never could
give. Christian virtue is also characterized
by spiritual freedom.
The President closed with an affectionate
address to the class. He said he would glad
iy give them some potent word which should
be talisman always to bring down on them
the benign influences of heaven. There is
not one such word. 1t is this, God lopes you.
This is the word which God has given to the
world in Jesus Christ. 1t is the gospel.
Take to your souls this life-giving thought to
live by, and to die by, that you be pure and
strong and blessed in Christian life and york.
Even if unhappily you shall stray from the
ways OF virtue, still let it come to you as
power TO quicken and to heal, that God loves
| hat &, -.
in its Unreasonable fullness to recall you to
the right way and to quicken and strengthen
all your efforts to return.
