Tho Great Grant Meeting.

We give this morning condensed but
graphic account by our correspondent ssYar-
mouth" of the great assembly of the citizens
OF New York to express confidence in the ad-
ministration of President Grant, and to de-
clare their opinion that he ought to be re-
nominated and reelected. The meeting was
very remarkably in contrast with its predeces-
sor last week. 1t was immensely larger and
more enthusiastic; the immense hall of Coop.
er Institute not only being crowded to suffo-
cation, but the stands outside being surround
ed by an earnest crowd of at least five Thousand
people. Difference in size, however, was not
the great point of difference between these
meetings. In the former the platform was
covered by curiously motley assemblage, and
the list OF Vice Presidents filled with an equal
iy incongruous array of names for a ssReform''
meeting. Tammany Republicans, ex-office
holders, VIGOROUSLY persistent office seekers
and ambitious men seeking for re-establish-
ment OF lost influence by somersault of af-
tairs, made up the list. With very few ex-
cepuons the fgure-heads and organizers of
the matter were well known professional pol
lticians with sore heads. Of the few unob-
Jectlonable names in their list a considerable
part have since declared that their names
were used without their consent and have ut
terly repudiated the whole business. In mark
ed contrast with all this was the meeting of
wednesday night. 1t was a convocation of
the business men of New York, to express
thelr views on subject which is of large in
terest to them and all citizens everywhere.
The list of Vice Presidents--made up with
full concurrence of every person named-em-
braces the leading business men of New York
men whose names are known throughout
this country and to all the world as synonyms
for enterprise, shrewdness and sterling char
acter. We would like to give full list of the
names, but as tits very long must forbear.
Among those on the platform were John C.
Green, Judge Edwards Pierrepont, Hon. E.
ID. Morgan, Henry Clews, w. NJ vermilye,
Dudley s. Gregory, Hon. T. w. Dwight, Isaac
ID. Bailey, FL. B. Clafin, Peter Cooper, Alex
ander Stuart, w. II. Vanderbilt, Charles But
Ter, James F. De Peyster, W. orion, Russell
Gage, LIE Grand B. Cannon, Robert L. Ken
nedy, ., b. Chittenden, and many other PROM
1nent gentlemen. The outside meeting was
addressed by Gen. Joseph C. Jackson, the
chairman, Isaac Fl. Bailey, E. Delafeld Smith
and Col. A. W. Tenney.
This great assemblage of business men
notable for the absence of politicians, Office
holders and Observation-Disclosures the
strength of the administration with the peo-
pie, with force which cannot be controyert-
ed by the scheming malcontents, who are
seeking by indirection and misrepresentation
to secure more facile and manageable sue
cessor to President Grant. Such support in
New York, with the help of the same kind of
people all over the country, makes victory
certain.

The Political Situation in Maine.

The political canvass in Maine during the
coming summer will naturally De very actlVe,
owing to the important reiatlon OF our
election in point of time to the later State
contests. and the general election of Novem-
Der 9Th. But the Republican party is singu-
larry fortunate in being able to meet its
opponents with full ranks, so that all the con-
troversy will be between the two main armies,
as it ought to be. There will be absolutely
no internal dissentions, unless the Republic
cans OF the fifth district should be so unwlse
as to hazard the loss of their majority by per-
uniting the personal aspirations OF indlvld-
uals to outweigh considerations OF the general
good. There is no Senatorial contest" this
year, nor even the shadow OF one, to disturb
the natural relations of the party to its can
didates. The Cincinnati schism has not
and cannot extend into this State. The
Tribune circulates very extensively here it is
true, but the farmers who make up the great
mass of its subscribers are much more likely
to stop their Tribunes than to join the party
to which JEFF. Davis, Toombs, Brick Pome-
roy, Marcellus Emery and w. M. Tweed are
enthusiastically devoted. There is no con-
test over the State Offices even. The re-elec-
ton of Gov. Perham is conceded. The Con-
gressional nominations in at least three and
perhaps all of the districts will be mere mat
tiers of form, the people selecting the candi-
date beforehand with substantial unanimity.
In short, it will require either large degree
of malice or an unprecedented amount of
laundering to mar the brilliant prospect of a
signal Republican triumph on the 9th of Sep
TENDER, to be followed by a still more glorious
one in November. Ourprincipal duty now is
to avoid everything calculated to create those
dlssensions that are so happily wanting.
The common enemy will spare no pains to
stir up strife by means of the arts they I'M
derstand so we'll They will not fail to keep
the liquor question constantly before the pub
lie. They will magnify the Importance of
such individual movements Cincinnatiward,
as there may chance to be. They will per-
haps try the passive policy in State politics,
and adopt halfand-half Republicans to run
against the regular nominees of the party.
But it will require only a moderate degree of
sagacity and industry to neutralize all the adj
verse influences that can be exerted.

Large and powerful revivals of religion are re-

Mr.. c. Z. Bsbee, Agent for the Kennebec

they shall only be expected to entertain tn,

PENNINGTON, April IS, 1872.
To the Editor Of the Press:
In my telegram to-day recording the destruc-
ton by fire of Mr.. Samuel Craig's buildings
did not tell as big a story as might have
done. 1 have since learned some additional
facts: The buildings burned consisted of house,
ell and three barns. The fire caught on the
roof of the ell, and as quite gale was blowing
at the time the flames quickly communicated
to the adjoining buildings. Mr.. Craig and fam
lily managed to clear the lower part of the
house, and his son rushed up stairs and secured
one bed. Six tons of hay, and the greater part
of his farming tools were in the barns, all of
which was consumed; his stock was saved
Loss will amount to over $3OOO insured for
$1,000. Mr.. Craig is very estimable man, and
he has the sympathy of our citizens in his great
loss
since the recent enforcement of the new IL
quor law our "cider merchants" have taken
down their signs Our people are interested in
the subject and intend to see the law enforced
to the letter
ohe specimen OF the genus hon,o(?) has per
sisted In selling liquor in the form of old cider
he claiming the right to do so, by ssbeinp a
manufacturer" Several of our respectable c;t;.
zens begged leave to differ" He was arrest
ed yesterday, and tried before Justice morrill,
who ordered him to pay fine of $50 and costs
He appealed, and recognized in the sum of
5000 for his appearance at the next term of
Court
The greater part of the ice has left Sandy riv-
er, and, so far as we have learned, no damage
has been done. 1t went out Tuesday night
A gang of river drivers passed through town
Monday, on their way to the head waters of
Sandy river. They will commence running
lumber down this river for Bangor company,
as soon as the channel is clear, which will pro-
oaDiy be in few days. JACK.
