The NEXT S1ATE.-And now for
Maine. A little over q month remains
for work-the election coming on the
9th OF September. A months cam
paign suficed to revolutionize North
Carolina. Shall we not do as we'll in
Maine?
To attain an actual revolution in Maine
were indeed grave undertaking. She
assisted in the first national victory of
the Republican party, and for twelve
years. through good and through evil
report, has kept the faith. In 1860. she
gave September majority of 1901.
and followed that with one of "a. 5O4 for
Lincoln. In 1864, she gave a Septem-
ber majority of $3.50; in 1865, of
%. 821; in 1866, of 27, ,687; and 1857. in
spite of distractions, of 1854. The
Presidential excitement brought up the
September majority again in 1868 to
20, 403; but it was the last year of over.
whelm'ng success. In 1869, the same
candidate found his majority reduced to
6, 6,O84; in 1870. new man forced it up
to 9,5O6; and in 1871 to 1881. That
is the figure which the Liberal Republi-
cans and Democrats propose to them
selves to overcome. It is q serious but
not impossible undertaking.
On the 18th of June, the Grant Re-
publicans placed in nomination, for the
third time, Sidney Perham, the present
Governor. On the 18th, the Democratic
Convention, for the second time, nomi
mated Q. z. Klmball, whom the Liberal
Republicans will support. 10 elect him
seemed then almost on impossibility; but
since then, we have had several things.
We have had an unexpected develop
ment OF Liberal Republican strength.
We have had Baltimore. We have had
North Carolina. To-day, our friends in
Maine believe that, by rallying the Libe-
raj Republicans upon the anti-Adminis-
tration candidate, they may wipe out the
whole 10, 200 adverse majority and elect
him: If We do not yet fully share their
confidence, it is from lack of faith, not
in their ability, but in their organizu-
ton. Men of Maine, North Carolina
bus made this campaign easy for US.
With you or without you. the ticket of
Cincinnati and of Baltimore is sure OF
triumph. But shall we not have the in
spiration OF your splendid work in Sep
tember for our October contest in Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Indiana? Will you
clasp hands with North Carolina, and
assure the victory OF peace. reunion and
reform, before the battle is on? It is in
your power, by 80 signal sign as the
reversal of the great Administration ma
jority, to settle the contest. Will yon?

SPEAKER BLAINE TO SENATOR SUMNER.
The Hon. James Ct. Blaine, of Maine,
has written letter to Senator Sumner,
which is intended as reply to the letter
OF the latter to the colored men, recently
published. 1t does. not appear to be
very vigorous sort of o reply, however,
at least not in logical way. Its tone is
rather suggestive OF the vail of for
saken one, broken with occasional fits of
melancholy reproach. ''Your letter."
he says. "will create profound pain and
regret among your former political
friends throughout New England;" then,
rising into spasmodic severity, he adds:
Your power to injure General Grant
was exhausted in your remarkable speech
in the Senate. Your power to iniure
yourself was not fully exercised until
you announced On open alliance with
the Southern secessionists in their ef-
forts to destroy the Republican party OF
the nation" Now. to awaken tho re-
morse of the recalcitrant Senator, the
writer refers piteously to the Gaming af-
ialr In the Senate chamber in 1856, when
Brooks. OF South Carolina, ''struck him
down;" then he glides into the theme of
the rebellion" with view to associate
it With the Liberal movement, and cou-
ples the name of Horace Greeley with
all Of it's terrible heresies. His great
point here seems to be to show that in
his opinion the party that nominated
MIR. Greeley is not fully committed to
the rights Of the colored race, and he
tries hard to make capital out of the as
sertlo2 that Mr.. Sumner has united with
Jefferson Davis. Toombs and others to
again build up the Democratic party.
HnnNIn6nQ a fol
''The colored men of this country ere
not, as q class. enlightened, but they
have wonderful instincts, and when they
read your letter they will know that at a
great crisis in their fate you deserted
them. Charles Sumner, cooperating
with Jefferson Davis, is not the same
Charles Sumner they have hitherto
idolized, any more than Horace Greeley,
cheered to the echo III Tammany Hall, is
the same Horace Greeley whom tho Re-
publicans have hitherto trusted. The
black men OF this country will never be
ungrateful for what you have done for
them in the pust-nor, in the bitterness
of their hearts, will they ever forget that,
heated and blinded by personal hatred of
one man, you turned your back on the
millions to whom, in past years, you have
stood aa shield and bulwark of de-
fence"
There is evidently no such thing as re-.
Cancellation with Speaker Blaine. Like
Mr.. Boutwell,, he is opposed to closing
sanguinary assures. But his letter is no
reply to MIR. Sumner. for all that.

STANLEY. have always been un-
believers in this world of ours, and
somehow they don't seem to grow any
less. One OF the very worst of the class
is the editor OF the Omaha Bee, who,
after reading the New York Heralds
wonderful accounts Of the discovery of
Livingstone, and the daily column of
newspaper extracts in that journal in
praise of the Bennetts, Stanley ami the
expedition, fails to be convinced, and
fatty declares he doesn't believe word
of it. The Bee says that Stanley used
to live in Omaha, and was looked upon
in rather an Ananias sort of liGht. Il
says: "When we reflect upon the fact
that he was in the habit of writing up
bis experiences OF trips to Denver and
Western towns from the sanctum Of the
Republican. with all the coloring of
truth, we shall go rather slow upon any
thing he has to say about Livingstone
and Central Africa. He is consummate
fabricator of sensations, and the story
that Livingstone refused to return for
two years longer from Africa is, in itself,
proof in our mind that he has not met
with that distinguished traveller" Can
it be that the Bee man doesn't know -
the dreadful doom which awaits the r--...
who doesn't believe in the Herald?
