IiIL fIEEBRAND
was introduced by Mr. Emery of Port
lamui. v ho proceeded TO read resolu
ton pronouncimg it expedient for the
convention To adjourn until the 9th OF
August next, and then To reasonable in
the same place at IL in the forenoon.
Mr.. Emery moved to refer this resolu
ton to the county delegations. for 4 yea
and nay vote, to be reported by the
chairman OF the several delegations, and
then proceeded to say that in making
that proposition he expressed the unani-
nous desire of the Portland delegation,
who wished to wait and see what action
the people of Maine would take in view
Of the proceedings of the recent conven-
ton mt Augusta. He believed the peo-
pie of Maine would decide TO bring for
ward as their candidate that eminent
patriot and statesman
JOSHUA l.. CHAMBERLAIN.
At this point loud and long continued
applause broke out, i'll which a yellow
dog on the platform took prominent
part When the cheers subsidized, vigor-
ous misses succeeded. MIR. Emery went
on to say that no Democrat had ANY
cause TO complain of Governor Chamber
lain; that under the circumstances, he
is the best man available ior governor,
and the best man for United States Sena-
tor. (Applause.)
At this, Col. Charles W. Roberts OF
Bangor rose. As his resolnte soldlery
iace turned silently toward the platform
the other side of the convention raised
shout. Col. Roberts wanted TO ask one
simple, square question.
Is TIE DEMOCRATIC PARTY DEAD.
(Cries OF No, no.) We do not come
here as mendicants, the speaker contin-
ued to adjourn for thirty days and humb-
ly beg Tor crumbs from the Republican
table. (No, no.) The greatest error
the Democratic party could commit,
would be the adoption OF this resolution
Mr.. T.. Wilder Farley, OF Newcastle,
followed. Mr.. Farley was member OF
Congress before the deluge, and is a
rare specimen Of the Silver Gray Wing
AN amiable gentleman, with pleas
ant voice, conservative and smooth
shaven ON the beard question. Mr.. Fai-
ley was amazed at the proposition. Inc
coalition OF Clay and John Quincy
Adams, though MIR Farley did not wish
to he understood as admitting the
charge against Clay, showed how use
less it is TO talk Of political combinations
OF men instead Of principles in common
unless upon the dirty question Of pro-
hipition, and Mr.. Farley moved tnat
| the resolution be indefinitely post
poned.
Mr.. Vim. G.. claiborne Of Portland
next got the floor, but Scion Chase, the
author OF "the Poor Mans tracts y
moved.
