MAINE.
AUGUSTA, June 27.-The Maine democratic
state convention, which is the first public con-
vention of the democratic party in New En-
gland since the PRONUNCIATION of the Vallandig-
ham doctrine OF new departure, convened at
Granite hall, in this city, at eleven O'Clock this
forenoon. The great bulk of the assembage is
made up of live and progressive young men.
The affair at the present outlook promises to be
presenting such formidable array of strength
as to overawe their opponents, and to strip the
series of resolutions of ALL antediluvian APP
pendages. 1t may happen that the convention
will end in a general row, although a comprO-
mise was said to have been agreed upon be-
tween two contending factions last night for the
formation of platform with this view. Charles
p. Kimball, of the firm of Kimbal Brothers, car
rage manufacturers of Portland, will undoubt-
eddy serve as martyr to the desire of the young
democracy to nominate him for governor, and
the resolutions will be doctored to suit the taste
of almost anybody who chooses to read them
Ldter.-At the afternoon session Hon. G. P.
Kimball of Portland was nominated for candi-
date for governor, receiving AS votes; scatter
ing, %. The following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved, that, burying out of sight all dead is
questions that can have no application to the pres
ent affairs and conditions OF our state and country
we address ourselves to the vital issues and ques.
tions of the hour, bringing them to- and deternin-
ing them by the living principles Of democracy as
promulgated by the fathers of the country.
Resolved, that we recognize our binding obliga-
lions to the constitution Of the United States as il
now exists, denouncing the means by which the
same became the supreme law of the land.
Resolved, that we will faithfully support the con-
stitutOn of the United States as 1t now exists and
that demand for 1t strict construction, so as to
protect equally the rights Of states and individuals
Resolved, that we cherish the American system
of state and local governments and will forever de-
fend the same against centralized federal power.
Resolved. that reject the Idea of reputation of
the national debt and believe 1t to be the duty of the
government to pay, according to law, and in lawful
money all its liabilities.
Resolved, that the democracy are opposed to
high protective tariff believing 1t to be based upon
false philosophy destructive to the industries of
the nation, delusiye in its professions tax levied
on the many for the benefit Of the few, calculated
to foster great mOnnpplies, and having no effect
permanently to increase the income of the national
treasury hasten the liquidation of the public debt
Resolved, that the imperfectons Of the civil SER
vice. under the republican administration, demand
further application of the rule of examinations as
to qualifications, which the democratic party long
since inauguraed and we are in favor of any JUDI
cious and constitutional measure of reform in this
important particular.
Resolved, that We would extend universal amnesty
to the SOUTH the best corrective measure the gov.
eminent can apply TO soOthe all irritation remove
local irregularty and disorders, and restore peace
full and harmonious relations between the different
sections which are only ths permanent basis of
union, and should be the chief aim Of our national
legislation.
Resolved, that the recent action of the admins
tration In using the power of appointment to over
ride the settled decision Of the supreme court we
regard IS Dangerous and ominous indication, and
as demonstrating that SINCE the grand co-erdjnate
divisions OF the government are not safe from exs
ecutive usurpaton, that the party unfolding such
an arrogant assumption Of power Is unit Tor the
position OF the trustees OF constitutional liberty
Resolved, that In Hon. 0. r. Kimball, the nominee
of this convention, we recognize gentleman Of In,
