LABORING MEN ;

DO you want to pay four hundred millions
OF dollars to the late rebels for their slaves :?
Then vote for the Democratic party with
Horace Greeley at its head. Do you wish to
be taxed to pension the late rebel soldiers for
trying to destroy your country? Then vote
for the same party. Gentlemen under oath
say, Greeley assents to a proposition to PEN
sion the rebel soldiers. Greeley admits he
said at Vicksburg, she hoped the time would
come when the soldiers, who with Lee fought
to destroy the country, would occupy as
proud position in the hearts of the Ameri.
can people rs the soldiers who fought with
Grant and sherman As proud position in
the hearts of the people. The heart to swell
with the same feelings of gratitude at the
name of the gray, as that of the blue! The
stars and bars equal with the stars and stripes,
and the enemy of his country to be made the

Mr.. GARRISON ON LIBERAL RE-
PTBLICANIS.

The following is an extract from recent
letter of William Lloyd Garrison to friend
in Worcester County, which appeared in the
Spy of Thursday:
"What stupendous imposture is the game
going on between so.caled liberal republi.
canism and rebel democracy for the presiden.
tial prize. In the history of political corrup-
ton is there anything to match it.? have al
ways regarded Greeley as a man without any
fixed principles; but he is daily revealing
himself, both in what he does and through
the columns of the Tribune (Which is his spec
ial organ and for the spirit of which he is to
be held responsible, make what disclaimers
or lodges he may in regard to its manage
ment) as a first-class political demagogue, I'M
less it may be charitably suspected that he is
smitten with imbecility. His election to the
presidency will, to all intents and purposes,
be the restoration of the South to the control
of our national policy; and in that event there
is to be poured out upon our land fresh walls
OF wrath to the extent of our recreancy, as a
people, to the principles of freedom and
righteousness. 1t is something worse than
mockery for him to point to the Cincinnati
platform as a proof that he and his hackers
are eminently patriotic, as it is when Satan
quotes Scripture to his purpose. Greeley we
know, and what the democratic party North
and South has been and is we know, namely,
that they are not to be trusted with official
station and power, promise what they will or
swear to what they may. For the great peril
that threatens US in the rejection of Grant and
the downfall of the republican party, l con-
slider Mr.. Sumner largely acco untable by his
speech and conduct toward them both. He
may be able to persuade himself that he is act
ing most patriotic and disinterested part;
but the fact is none the less humiliating and
condemnatory that none are SO pleased with
his course as those who took up arms to de-
stroy the republic, who until recently have
been his bitterest foes, and who are still es-
sentially as southern in all their aims and
sentiments as they have ever been

The Chase Fortune in England

1t has been decided recently by the highest court
of England, that property to the amount of two
hundred and fifty million dollars there situate, be
longs to the heirs oil William, Thomas and Aquilla
Chase, who came to this country about 1929. No
tice has been published through the English pa
pers for the heirs of the above named persons to
prove their claims.
A convention of said heirs was held at PittsHeld
Me- June 18th, 1872, the object of which was to de
wise some plan by which to establish the hership
of the descendants of said William Thomas and
Aquilla Chase, now resident in this country. The
convention was called to order by Alfred Chase,

the Republican party to-day.

Grant in view of the past history of the Dem

The New York World expresses the hope
that Mr.. Greeley will write no more letters.
THE business" it says, is Hazardous"
-Semmes Of Alabama, in his speech ratify-
ing the nomination of Mr.. Greeley said, "Be
it understood that Semmes has not gone over
to Horace Greeley, but the latter has come to
me upon the deck of the Alabama" He had
nothing to repent of; the penitent was
Horace.

Brown, and thereby caused the Tribune to
rejoice exceedingly, was always notorious as

S. D. Brown, Esq, of Milford, published as
a Vice President at the Democratic meeting
at Bangor on Saturday, is out in letter to
the Wing stating that he is ''no such person.
but is as he always has been, Republican,
and proposes to remain so.
Democrats are not seen wearing white
hats and white coats, as some enthusiastic
followers of the philosopher predicted. They
still seem ashamed of the uniform of their
commander. But in reality that is the least
shameful part of the performance.

OLD CAPITOL PRISON, WHERE HE
VAS SENT EOR STEALING MILES

FITZPATRICK A GRADUATE OF THE
OLD CAPITOL PRISON, WHERE HE
WAS SENT FOR STEALING Mules.
The Portland Press Of yesterday in re-
viewing Gen. Kilpatrick's speech con-
cludes as follows.
Zone more point, which we exceedingly re-
greet to be obliged to make, Is forced upon Us
by the insinuation in Gen. Kipatrick's speech
against the Presidents personal integrity
an insinuatlon which very few persons have
the effrontery and indecency to make. Where
such insinuation is made publicly against the
head of the nation it well behooves the peo-
pie to look closely and see what manner OF
man makes the charge and whether it com es
from a source worthy of credence.
We have in our possession copies from the
records of the War Department of afidavits
which show that on or about the 18th day OF
September, 1862, Gen. (then 1t. COL Kill
patrick seized on plea OF military necessity
two mules, their harnesses and wagon,
which he promised to return to the owner
He (kilpatrick) sold the mules to a sutler for
seventy five dollars which he put in his pri-
vate pocket. The owner, being able to OBJ
tain only his wagon and harness,-Kilpatrick
having gone North meantime, made COM
plant substantiated by his own affidavit and
that of the man who bought the mules, where
upon Fitzpatrick was arrested, confined for
considerable period in the Old Capitol Prison
and then kept under arrest for several months
on parole, confined to the limits of the city Of
Washington. Afterwards, by the earnest So
licitation of friends and the leniency of the
War Department, he was allowed to return
to the service for which he had shown him
self so unworthy and which he had done his
utmost to disgrace.
So much for the man which makes the base
insinua,ion of want of personal integrity
against the President of the United States.
We make this statement deliberately and with
the proof at hand to substantiate every point.
We feel it our duty to inform our citizens
what style Of men the Greeley party imports
Into Maine to preach reform" and political
publication. They have inaugurated the
system of violent personal attacks and must
take the consequences"
