FIFTH DISTRICT.

AS our dispatches have stated, Mr.. Hale
was nominated on Thursday for Congress
in the Fifth district. The number of dele
gates who left the convention because the
nomination was not conceded to Waldo
county was not more than twenty-five
Hon. Ebenezer knowlton, who was the
candidate opposed to Mr.. Hale will sup
port the nomination, so also will the most
of the Waldo delegates. A call appears
in the Bangor Commercial for conven-
ton of republicans opposed to Mr.. Hale to
be held at Belfast on the 10th day of July.
1t is signed by d. X. Chase, n. A. joy.
and Charles Baker. The action of the
convention which nominated Mr. Hale
was so conclusive an expression
Of the voice of the district that an at
tempt to overturn it by an irregular con-
vention can have but little support from
republicans. There appears no reason to
doubt that if the question of boiling were
left to Waldo alone-the aggrieved party
her true republicans would crush it under
foot, sustain the nomination of Hale, and
wait for time to bring them justice, il
they have not had it. The course of their
high minded candidate, Mr.. knowlton,
will be safe one for them to follow.

TIE NEW JERSEY SQUABBLE.

! The democracy had a stormy time in the
New Jersey convention. The Greeley pa
pers say it was all pleasant, but the reverse
was true. When the resolves were read they
were declared adopted, but the nays were as
numerous as the yeas. A correspondent says !:
Columns would be required to fnlly narrate
the disgust and dependency of the New Jer-
sey democracy tonight. | have heard the
names of hundreds of democrats mentioned
as men who will under no circumstances vote
for Greeley. Taking what have seen to-day
as trustworthy evidence of the feeling in the
State, there does not seem the least possible
chance for Mr.. Greeley to receive much more
than half the democratic vote Of the State.
Yet he had fully half the delegates here, and
will undoubtedly have the vote of the State
at Baltimore These are some Of the contra
dictions Of Greeley politics.

DEMOCRATIC DLSAFRECTION.

The signs of democratic disafection at
the prospect Of the nomination of Greeley
increase as the time Of holding the Balti-
more Convention approaches. There is no
longer doubt that the feeling against
Greeley is strong, especially in the States
that have democratic majority. 1t is in
the States which have not tor quarter of
acentury given an electoral vote for a dem
ocratic candidate for President, that the
pressure for the nomination OF Greeley
comes. Maine will give fourteen votes,
and Massachusetts twenty-six, at Balt-
more, to nominate Greeley, but Grant
will get every electoral vote of those
States and popular majority of of about
hundred thousand. In such States as
these there has been great activity among
the democratic politicians for Greeley.
much to the disgust of democrats in the
democratic States, who charge them with
being over Jealous and INSCRIPTIONS in
they can do nothing to elect.
The two leading democratic papers OF
the country unite in opposing the nomina-
ton of Greeley. The New York World, it
is well known, has opposed him from the
start. Its articles have been powerful, its
course inspired no doubt with what it con-
ceives to be for the interest of the demo-
cratic party. The trading politicians who
are ready to grasp at any straw to beat
Grant, have the advantage Of it at present,
but the end of the campaign will prove
that the World was not far from right in
its opposition to Greeley, The other pa
per now joined with the World against
Greeley is the Times of Chicago, the lead
ing democratic paper of the West. That
paper takes the ground that the nomna-
ton Of Greeley at Baltimore is ioregoue
conclusion, and that the result is due 10
the manipulataions of wirepullers and
place hunters who have eflectually packed
the convention for Greeley. This being
the case the Times holds that the nomina-
ton will not be binding upon the demo-
cratic party. In an article on June 24th.
the Times says:
The nomination OF Mr.. Greeley at Balli
more will terminate the organic existence of
the democratic party. In that act the party
organization will abdicate its functions, and
ofscourse, with such abdication the idea Of
party allegiance will cease; for there is no
such thing as party allegiance to men, to can.
didates, or TO conventions; such allegiance is
due only to principles Party organizations
are nothing but instrumentalities by which
some aggregate number of persons seek to
carry certain principles into effect When
the fundamentally ceases TO act for that pur-
pose, or is perverted by scheming individuals
TO different purpose, as the nomination for
office of declared enemy of the principles
Of the party, it ceases to exist as a party au-
thorisy. The nomination OF endorsement OF
Mr.. Greeley at Baltimore will, therefore,
place no one holding democratic principles
under the slightest obligation TO cast his vote
