The Democratic Congressional Con-
vention for the Fifth District holden
Yesterday at Bangor, has put in nomina-
ton for Representative to Congress,
Hon. p. J. Carleton of Camden, a gen.
tleman Of excellent personal character
and good business talent. He has
served with credit i'm both Houses of our
Legislature, being a member in 1867 and
1868 at the same time with Mr.. Hale,
and we know that the two candidates
have for each other high personal
regard.
The nomination is as good rs could
have been made and we have nedOubt
that Mr.. Carleton will receives full
party vote But the lines are clearly
and distinctively drawn in the canvass.
Mr.. Hale represents the Republican
party in its successful endeavors TO
administer the Government in the in
terests of freedom, and equal rights to
man, and of prudence and economy in
its financial affairs. He represents that
party in its sympathies and gigantic
efforts to suppress the rebellion, and
reconstruction. He is liberal in his
views for revenue reform, and took a
decided and significant, position in the
session of Congress Just closed. in favor
OF measures to relieve our shipping in
terests from the unjust burdens resting
upon il.
Mr.. Carleton on the other hand is
Democrat, and has always been such.
He represents the party which is now
obstructive in administering the Gov
eminent, the party which in Congress
votes against all measures of reconstruc-
ton. and against all the measures TO
redace the burdens of taxation, which
have passed into laws in the ilst Con-
gress. He is good man Of the Demo-
cratic party, but will not We presume
get score of republican votes on the
whole district.
