From late issues of the Beacon we see that
the Democracy of our sister county are in a
state Of considerable ferment over the APP
preaching nominations preparatory to
holding the Convention the inkslingers are
fairly delusing the columns Of our cotemporary
with communications in the interest of one or
the other of the factions into which the good
people seem to be divided Some weeks ago
several advocates appeared in favor of the
Crawford County System" and last week the
cudgel is taken up by two others, in favor Of
the old Convention system and in derogation
Of the newly proposed method Of bringing out
candidates. Again, another knight OF the
quill makes his appearance on the turf, and
pitches into Conventions of whatever name
and sort, and advocates free Eight. In the
meantime, the Executive Committee have
called Convention for the nomination Of
State and county officers, to be held at Leon-
ardtown,. on the 18th of July. This action
on the: part Of the Committee, it will be seen
i~aters-but, We hope, upon the completion
i0f the work Of the Convention, tho seething
-eiuldrou will ultimately compose itself, and
that by the time the campaign actively COM
mences, quiet and union Of strength will be
once more fully restored. The Beacon, in an
able and convincing editorial article under the
head Of "The Duty Of the Hour, enforces the
expediency Of submission to the action Of the
Convention, and urges the Restoration Of peace,
harmony and union as the only means Of q
chewing success in the pending struggle.--
Our neighbor is right. This is no time for
'dissension and discord. The best energies Of
the Democrats Of our sister county should be
expended upon the common enemy, and not
be wasted in quarrels and Improbable bick-
erings among themselves. We venture. this
advice to our. neighbors at the risk Of being
deemed Intermediates charge which we are
sure no rejecting member of the community
would make against u.s. ti.5i ste ,e---s7fst i

Considerable hail also fell but mparatively

to its virtue as a preventive and remedy. They
are spread over tina whole country; they are eager

many who are continually exposed to the epidemica

seize the opportunity to and means OF preven-

to obtain This is strange; it is OF the anomalies
of human nature which it is impossible to account
for or explain. 1t is, however quite certain that
every day the number of these Martyrs of Neglect

sales of The great remedy. During the present fall
the demand for it has increased beyond all precedent
and it seems if in the end the entire commu nifty

HE projectors of the Penobscot Bay and
River Railroad are now going 10 work in earn
est. The Knox and Lincoln road will lease
the new line as far as Camden, and work on
that part of the route will be begun at an ear
ly day. 1t is hoped that an arrangement will
also be made to lease the Northern end of the
road, so that work can be begun there, too, at
the same time. The completion of the Pc
Aooscot Bay and River road will supply the
only link now necessary to constitute line
through to Bangor competing with the Maine
Central.

from 1851 to 1858, leaving upon the pages of the

great issues, and which have in later years

THE N. Y. Times thus castigates Horace
Greeley over Fenton s back:
No sooner is the election over than we find
him (Fentcn) running about over. the State
holding consultations with Tom, Dick and
Harry, to see how he can best make the Re-
publican victory serve his own personal and
political ends. If Mr.. Fenton has any other
peculiar talent to display for the "benefit of
our party" than that of an underhand schemer
and wire puller, it is time he let the world
know it, for that kind of"talent" will soon be
at discount with all parties. The people have
had enough of it.

THE Lewiston journal says that the girls
who committed suicide in that city could
hardly have been driven to that desperate
measure on account of difficulty in obtaining
work, or of actual destituton. To this we
can only say that the very full accounts pub
iished in the Journal at the time of the sui
eide and republished in the PRESS are crowd
ed:with intimations that the girls we've out of
work, that they were at times for many hours
without food, and that they were entirely
destitute of means. We took it for granted
that working girls of fourteen or sixteen
would not Voluntarily fast eighteen or twenty
hours, iffood was attainable. 1t is very like
ly that their own bad conduct may have ag-
gravated their misfortunes and suferings,-
but what power is it that is expected to lead
homeless, friendless, penniless, ignorant girls
OF fourteen into the paths of peace, wisdom or
even of prudence?
