II Giving II Up. -
tits obvious to the most careless oose,'.
that the Democracy will not make even 'nei'
ordinary effort in the approachins o""' as III
this State. It is already certain that the new
,,oi;t,cal movement which was initiated only
a.few weeks ago with such geetul anticipa-
t;ons w;,, move conspicuous failure in the
1,sf State where it is tried. Its failure in
Maine. where there are no special reasons for
its proving unpopular, will make success else
where almost impossible.
The effect of the new movement in Maine
has been to disorganize the party undertaking
#, and to unite the party against which it was
aimed, and which it was expected to divide.
We remember no time since the first year of
the war when the Democracy of this State
has been SO little harmonious as at present.
The best evidence of this is found in the
want of zeal and a remarkable lack of co op-
Grafton and unity of purpose on the part Of
tue Democratic newspaper organs. The Au-
gnsta platform being designed to mark a
great era in political history, it was to be ex-
pected that Immediately after il was framed
all the newspapers of Conservative sympa-
thies would rival each other in eagerness to
explain, support and defend it. Perfect con-
cert of action was TO be ANTICIPATED
But instead of this harmony and zeal, we
have been surprised to find that not one
Democratic journal has formally endorsed
explained and advocated the platform. That
Mohstrosity has been received in profound 81
lence. No applause is heard from any quar-
ter The Argus devotes itself chiefly to the
tariff, there being no new departure on thai
question. The Belfast Journal goes on max
ihg good jokes, m erely aluding to the plat
form in the way of emphatic condemnation
of the only important and significant resolu-
tions embraced in it. The Bangor Democrat
which probably represents the numerical ma
jority of the party in Maine, continues tC
uphold and enforce ultra Hunker doctrines
that ought to have become obsolete on The
day the decalogue was promulgated, and tt
square away at its new bette noir, Superin

racy, puts but trifing part OF its customar,

disdains. The Blddeford Democrat, havin:
conamitted itself to opposition to the surren
derso 'sLee's left wing" in advance of th'
Convention, does not are to be guilty of th'
glaring inconsistency of too suddenly chang
ing its ground. The Machias Union is yer,
sensibly devoting its energies to exciting il
Its readers proper understanding of the i'm
portance of railroad through the coast
towns Of Eastern Maine, while the editor o.
the. Anson Aduocate still employs his ready
pen % defending his personal reputation
against the attacks of his foes. As for th,
Brunswick Telegraph and one or two othe
Democratic auxilaries, they do their lttl'
best TO magnify the importance of the trans
parent farce, but nobody heeds them. Th
"new departure" is dead in Maine.
The Portland daily press., 1871-07-15

THE readiness of the Democratic press to
mates from its officials and leaders is amply
illustrated by their almost unanimous en-
dorsement of the order that Mayor Hall as
sumes the responsibility Of. The press that
claims to be the first to denounce the in.
fringement of popular liberty, with few ex-
ceptions. stood forth to defend and advocate
the Tammany surrender. Their attempts tc
get out of the shameful position only render
them objects of greater contempt.
