Empire Grove Camp Meeting.
EMPIRE GROVE, East Poland

Aug. %, 1872
To the Editor of the Press:
To day the disagreeable weather has had a
visible effect on the interest of the meeting,
the congregation being even thinner than yes
terday. There was no sermon from the stand
this forenoon. but services were held in several
of the tents. Rev. Messrs. Chase Morse, Mum
ger and Stevens preached. The usual social
meetings were held, in which considerable in
terest was manifested by the few present
In the afternoon Rev. Mr.. Watson preached
from Proverbs rs, %, to an audience of about
$50. His text, GAS cold water to thirsty soul,
so is good news from a far country" was used
to illustrate the manner of learning about
Heaven, which he pictursd.as ''far off coun-
try" where we are all interested, either from
having received its benefits or from the fact that
our friends have gone there before us, and that
we are all hoping to go there ourselves. He
presented the pleasures of hearing news from
that land which was so soon to become his
home forever, and of which he was glad to
gather all the tidings possible from the Bible.
His discourse was peculiar one, being some
what humorous in the beginning, and as a
whole rather emotional, and was finally closed
in an abrupt manner on account of indisposi-
ton of the speaker. He was followed by sew
eral other preachers, some of whom gave very
eloquent exhortatiens
Owing to the prompt action of the police in
expelling the disreputable crowd that was as
sembled near the grounds, from within the linn
its of one mile from the camp ground much
better order is observable in the vicinity of the
grove. The parties arrested yesterday were
John Jefferson and Jeremiah Edwards. They
were brought before Judge Knowlton of Lew
iston, this morning, and on the testimony of
officers Collins and Newell, were found guilty
of having violated several provisions of the
prohibitory law, aid fined $50 and costs each,
and in default of payment were committed for
thirty days to the watchful care of Mr.. Little
field in Auburn Jail, by which arrangement
Mr.. Perham's majority will probably be in
creased by two, owing to proportionate fall
ing off of "Guvner" KimbalPs VOTE The Lib
eral candidate ought to be on the lookout for
his prospective constituency in this neighbor-
hood. MINor

"No Sacrifice of Principles"

The Bangor Commercial is frank enough to
print the New York Day Books adhesion to
Greeley. The latter sheet has been, and con-
tinues to be, the most bitter, unrelenting,
impentent pro-slavery, pro-rebellion sheet in
the country, having outdone the Bangor
Times itself in its palmiest days in these par
ticulars. We commend this sentence of its
article to the consideration of those who be-
lieve that the Democrats in adopting the Gin
cinnati programme have abandoned their
distinctive ideas. The Day Book says:
"We yield no principle in helping to
destroy this Grant despoism by aiding the
election of the only man to-day in all this
country aoho shoaos support strong enough
to drioe the military autocrat from the White

ton advertisers Washington special says:
A brief examination of the document recent
ly compiled by ex-Register of the Treasury
Jetfreys, and published by the democratic cam
paign committee, pretending to expose gross
frauds in the Treasury department, the mis-
management and incapablity of Secretary
Boutwell,, ETC., proves that the most essential
fraud in the whole business is the pamphlet it,
self and that it is full of errors and mis-state-
ments. From few examples the character of
the whole may be inferred The pamphleteer
says that the finance report of 1870 shows that
Johnson during the last three years of his adj
ADMINISTRATION, reduced the debt 1924, 423 :39S. g.
In fact, the report shows something entirely
different that the reduction was only S147, 1884,
914.57. The annual average expenditures of
the government for the last three years of
President Grants administration are 1858, &c.,
912 less than those of the last three years of
johnson, instead of S1O7, 500, 327 more as claim
ed by the document, fact which can be dem
onstrated by the official figures. Comparing
the actual expenditures eff the last wears of the
respective administrations and including only
the same items in each comparison, those I'M
der President Grant are shown to be 800. 500. 332
less than those nnder johnson.

The Outlook.

The Philadelphia Press takes very candid
survey of the Presidential field and comes to
the conclusion that there is no possible chance
for the success of the Greeley coalition. 1t
says:
Pennsylvania, it is now pretty generally
admitted on all hands, is certain to give its
electoral vote to the Republican candidates
in November, whatever may happen to part
of the ticket in October. Neither Mr.. Gree
ley nor his friends claim the State in their
private calculations. Indeed, the indications
are, owing to the very marked disaffection of
the Democracy, that Grant and Wilson will
have larger majority here than did Grant
and Cofax in 1868. Indiana votes regularly
with Pennsylvania in all Presidential con-
tests, and though it gave a small Democratic
majority, amounting to 1865, at the election
of 1870, it may be confidently set down for
Grant In 1868 the electoral vote of Indiana
was given to Grant by large majority, not
withstanding that it went Democratic in the
preceding October election.
The following States cast Democratic ma
jorities at the last elections held in them !:
Alabama, Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Ken
lucky, Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, New
Jersey, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and
West Virginia. Giving to Greeley the cleo
toral votes of all of these except Indiana, and
Also Inat OF NEW 4Ofk, winch the democrats
are tolerably sure to regain, and then adding
to the Greeley column the six States of Ar
kansas, California, Connecticut, Louisiana,
Mississippi, and New Hampshire, which,
though they went Republican at their last
elections, may be considered doubtful, the
Electoral College would stand thus:
For Grant and Wilson. as5
For Greeley and Brown. Observation-Disclosures. ISL
Total alector.l vote. occ
But the six Republican States which we
have granted may possibly be carried by the
Coalition, are not a whit more doubtful than
the four at present Democratic States of
Alabama, Delaware, Nevada, and New Jer-
sey. If only a small percentage of the Dem
ocrats refuse to vote, or give their ballots to
Grant in preference to Greeley, all these four
States may 60 Republican. Adding them,
therefore, to the six before enumerated, we
have ten doubtful States, one-half of which
at least Grant is likely to get, and yet Greeley
might carry them all, and still fall four short
of a majority in the Electoral College.
The following table will better illustrate
the situation:

A SINCERE Greeley man of this city who
followed ''the great and good Horace" to
City Hall the other day and shook hands
with him, became thereby very enthusiastic
in politics. When the Portland Band began
to play in front of the hall in the evening he
said to himself, "Hallo! our friends are 60
ing to have meeting, guess!'' and he fol-
lowed the people in and took a seat in the
rear of the hall. "Pooty good crowd" said
he to a seat-mate, who was stranger !:
"first-rate meeting; glad to see our
folks turn out SO well; will give
them Radicals fits this fallp' Then
he settled down to hear Governor Noyes.
He applauded when the rest did, and seemed
to enjoy the speaking. After the meeting
was over his neighbor asked him how he liked
the speech. "Fust rate; fust rate; he's a
little hard on the Locos, but they've been
pooty crooked and need a little touchin' up !;
but liked it; twas the most sensible speech
Eve heard. Twas true; all true; every
word of it," and he was losa'in the crowd, a
very well satisfied man. apparently

Maine for the purpose, we suppose, of incit-
ing the Democrats to greater zeal in behalf Of
Mr.. Greeley whose cause seems just now to
languish in this State. 1t is a capital idea
and does credit to the cleverness of the editor.
What greater incentive could there be to a
disguised crow eater than to parade the names
and pay of a hundred or two of office-holders
coupled with the oft repeated assertion that
by hearty effort all these may be secured to
the Democracy.
