DODGING THEIR RECORD=A REF-
RESENTATIVE OF THE DEMO-
CRATIC PARYE,

we do not wonder that democrats try to
dodge their record in the war. We should
think they would be glad to cover up the
past. and with sham indignation vent their
thunder upon anybody who calls it to
mind. 1t is disagreeable topic for them.
But i. can't be forgotten nor rubbed out,
Look, for instance at the democratic NOM
inee for Congress in the Fourth District,
standing side by side with General Roberts
on the same ticket. We refer to Marcel
lus Emery, who when Fort Sumpter was
attacked by the rebels, called upon his
brother democrats in the following trea-
sonable language published in the Bangor
Democrat.
DEMOCRATS or M1INE!-The loyal
sons of the South have gathered around
Charleston as our fathers ofold gathered around
Boston, in defence OF THE SAME SACRED
PRINCIPLES OF Liberty .-principles (which
YOU have ever upheld and defended with your
vote, your voice, and your strong right arm
Your sympathies are with the defenders OF the
truth. and the right. Those WHO HAVE IN
AuGuRArEp THIS UNHOLY AND UNJUSTI-
Il "A L. w
FRIENDS OF DEMocRATIc LIBERTY! Will you
aid them in their work of subjugation and ty-
ranny?
"When the Government at Washington
calls tor volunteers recruits to carry on
the work of subjugation and tyranny, under
the specious phrase of enforcing the laws,
retaking and protecting the public property,
and collecting the revenue LET EVERY
DEMOCRAT FOLD HIS ARMS AND BID
THE MINIONS OF TORY DESPOTISM
DO A TORY DESPOT'S WORK Say to
them fearlessly and boldly-in the language
of England's great lord, the Earl of Chatham,
whose bold words in behalf of the struggling
Colonies of America, in the dark hours of the
Revolution. have ems.-ined his name in the
breast of every friend of freedom, and immor-
talized his name wherever the name OF liberty
is known-say in thrilling language :-IF
WERE A SOUTHERNER AS AN A NORTH
ERNER, WHILE FOREIGN TROOP WAS LAND
ED IN MY COUNTRY, l WOULD NEVER lay down
my arms-nerer, NEVER, NEVER"
This was the response of the democratic
candidate for Congress in the Fourth dis
trict to the rebel guns at Charleston. He has
never disavowed a line or word of it. He
stands to-day exactly as he stood then.
Yet he is nominated as representative of
his party. General Roberts knows that
every word which we say is true, for
Emery is his neighbor, and yet he joins
hands with the man who uttered the
above.
Soldiers, patriots, republicans, demo-
Gratis who supported the war, read this
record and then consider if you can sup
port party which supports such men as
this!

HON. b. w. NORRIS.

We have already chronicled the fact that
this gentleman has been nominated fol
Congress in Alabama. Mr.. Norris was
chosen to the 10th Congress and served in
that body from the date of Alabama's admis-
sion to representation up to the day OF
Gen. Grants Inauguration. During his
brief service he won the reputation of a
very earnest, active, influential member,
wide awake to the interests of his constit-
nents and untiring in his efforts to pro-
mote them. Alabama is wise in returning
Mr.. Norris to Congress. The State has
few citizens within her limits better able
to protect her interests in Congress and
none more devoted to her good name, hen
prosperity and her happiness. We are
glad to learn that Mr.. Norris's election i,
well assured.

POLITICAL.

The democrats of Virginia and Tenne-
see are troubled because of the attempt of
a part of the party to work under the
name of conservative" They want to
sail under their true colors.
The Maryland Republicans make a
boast that they will cast a majority of the
votes for Congressman this fall. They
are working in the endeavor to prove it
Mr. Schenck has consented to stand as
candidate for Congress.
The republicans of Paris have nomina-
ted Henry E. Hammond as a candidate
for representative to the Legislature. In
Denmark the republicans have nominated
William Bean to represent the towns of
Hiram, Denmark Lowell and Stow.
Nothing has been done to appease the
Democrats of Georgia, who clamor for an
election this fall
The Republican State Convention of
Michigan nominated for Governor, II. P.
Baldwin; for Lieut.. Governor, Gen. w.
II. Humphreys; for Attorney General
Dwight May. Resolutions were adopted
which reaflirm the principles of the party,
denounce the Democratic party as rcreant
to patriotism, favor protective tariff, de-
clare sympathy with Germany in the war,
congratulate the country on the success of
the national Administration, and assert
that the public land should be open, I'M
restricted to presumption by the soldiers
and sailors of the Union army.
The Washington correspondent of the
Press says "Reports recent
ly received here from the Southern States
in which campaigns are now in progress
are becoming more and more favorable.
In South Carolina it is expected that
every district will be carried; Alabama
seems to be favorable; from Louisiana the
few letters received speak cheerfully of
the situation: but little is heard from
Texas that can be relied upon, yet the
most trustworthy information is favorable
to the Republican party; from Arkansas
one of the senators writes that all the dis
tricts are safe. But little information has
been received from Georgia on which to
base positive opinions, though the indica-
tons are bright. In the North and West
matters look better for the Republicans
day by day. Letters from many of the
districts are not considered reliable at
this time. as the nominations have not
been made, and in the rivalry preceding a
nominating convention more rumors than
facts are the rule.

LETTER FROM WALDOBORO.

WALpoBoRo, Sept. lst, 1870.
To the Editor of the Journal.
We are having real drouth here in this
section. Everything is parched and dry; the
fields have burnt, scorched appearance,
fires prevail to an alarming extent in the
woods, streams have ceased their meander-
ings, cisterns have given up their contents,
and everything, animal, vegetable and human,
feels the want of rain. The traveller driving
through the country, finds no trough running
over with aqua-pura, the little roadside rivu-
lets afford his thirsty horse no relief, and if he
should call at farm house he finds they have
scarcely enough of the delicious beverage to
supply their own thirsty wants.
Ship building has been quite dull the past
season, but if there is to be demand, as no
doubt there will be, for American ships in the
carrying trade, Waldoboro' will surely, with
other places, come in for share of the bene-
fit to be derived from that source. We have
here every facility for building. We can
build, rig and man vessel of any size, and
no handsomer or better vessels pillow the
mighty deep than those built and manned by
Waldoboro' men. Many merchants here with
men in other vocations, in years gone by, have
tried their hand before the mast, and nearly
every young man at the present day, rich OF
poor, has been on foreign cruise.
Regardless of politics, four-fi of the
Democratic voters of this town sympathize
with the Prussians, and doubt if even this
can be ascribed to the fact that they are OF
German origin.
Work on the Knox Lincoln railroad seems
to be progressing finely on this part of the
line. Two abutments of block granite towards
the erection of bridge across the Medomak
stream at Winslow's Mills are nearly compile
ted, and the grading and filling in on each
side is handsomely and substantially done.
Another spring will surely bring us in direct
communication with the outside world; and
then good bye to the slow coach of the eigh-
teenth century. The benefit to be derived
from the railroad will be more especially felt
by the merchant and the traveller in the win
ter season, when communication by water is
cut off, and ride by land is like sledging in
the polar regions.
The census will show slight falling off in
the population. Massachusetts has taken
away large percentage of the young of both
sexes.
Mrs. Jones of China, the Quakeress
preacher, delivered sermon in the Congre-
gationalist church two Sundays ago, and in
the evening at the Methodist church, to a
large and appreciative congregation. Her
sermons are of the pleading, persuasive kind.
She appealed in kindly tones to the better
nature of her hearers to forsake the world and
follow Christ.
The steamer 'Charles Houghton" left this
morning with a load of excursionists for the
Northport camp grounds, on the Penobscot.
The sail will be pleasant but long one. They
return same evening, as the steamer is obliged
to leave Friday morning for Boston.

SURRENDER OF THE FRENCH.

The intelligence of the surrender Of
General Nc Mahon is better news than
was expected at this early stage of the
war. although from the muddle of des-
patches it was gathered that he was caught
in the Prussian tolls, and would find it diff
ficult to escape. This must be the coup de
grace for Napoleon, and inevitably insures
the early close ofthe war by the submission
of the French government, if such a thing
there is. Well may the Prussians exult
and Frenchmen die of shame at the result
America congratulates Germany on her
splendid victory, and bids adieu to the
Emperor Napoleon without u tear of re-
greet.

WHO REDUCED THE TAXES?

The Chicago journal (republican) very
truly says: During the last session our
friends did all the reducing there was done
at all. The Democracy was on the side of
high taxes. To hear the party organs and
mouth-pieces rant, one would think it was
just the other way; but the Congressional
Globe, with its record of all votes cast on
all revenue matters, sustains our position
fully"
