FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.-Sevices in memory
OF the late DIR. Robinson were held at the First
Baptist church Sunday afternoon. The sermon
was by Rev. DIR. Smaller, from Col iv:14,-
"Luke, the beloved physician" In the dis
course the preacher referred to an incident in
the life of the deceased. When he was recov-
ering from the effects of amputation he re-
marked to his pastor, 81 shall soon be able to
attend church again; and added, half in ear
nest, want you to preach sermon for me-.
The minister consented, and asked, When shall
it be? The first Sunday in July, replied the
Doctor. The sermon aoas preached for him on
that day, but it was funeral discourse, and
not return of thanks for restored health.

THE INFANTRY EXCURSION. all the
people of Rochester and the neighboring towns
seemed to have turned out on Friday to wit
ness the unusual spectacle of three military
companies from abroad in their midst. The
citizens manifested their usual hospitality and
gave the citizens hearty welcome. In the
grove all sorts of manly games were INDUCED
in. The Sebascon base ball club of Gorham
beat the Atlantics of Rochester, by score of %
to Is. The Atlantics declined to play with the
Dirigos of this city, understanding they were

they made very pleasant day of it.
We understand that the delay in reaching
Rochester was due to the fact that the train of
seventeen cars, which left Portland was not
overloaded, but the passengers increased so
fast as they proceeded, completely filling TWEEN
ty-one cars, at Alfred it was impossible to send
back for an additional engine. Had the Super
intendent anticipated a rush at the out-statons
two engines would have been used at the start.

The Grant and Wilson Ratification meeting
in Houlton to-day wednesday, was an i'm

gor arrived by special train, among whom were
Senator Hamlin, Fred. Douglass, Gen. Hersey,
Hon. p. P. Burleigh, Gen. Charles Hamlin and
Grant and Wilson Club of 40 with the Ban
gor Cornet Band. They were received at the
station by large crowd of Aroostook Republi-
cans, headed by the Houlton Cornet Band A
procession was formed under the direction of
Major Strickland which escorted the visitors to
the Town Hall, where a collation. had been pre-
pared. Notwithstanding the threatening and
rainy weather, and the very muddy streets, the
procession was very large. The visitors were
led by Senator Hamlin and Fred. Douglass who
refused to ride, saying they "would walk with
the boys" Arrangements had been made for
a grand out door meeting at the Park but the
rain made different arrangements necessary.
A meeting was extemporized in front of the
Smell House at five O'clock at which Francis
Barnes, Esq, of Houlton, presided. Fred.
Douglass, Senator Hamlin and others spoke
large crowd, one of the largest ever out to a
meeting in Houlton, stood in the square three
hours in the rain listening to the distinguished
speakers, frequently msnifesting their approval
by hearty cheers. In the evening meetings
were held in Cary's Hall and the Court House,
which were crowded. There was also a torch
light procession, the largest ever seen in these
parts. Had the weather been favorable, the
demonstration would have been immense.
Everything is most favorable for brilliant
Republican victory in Aroestook JOS.

Wendell Phillips's letter to the colored men,
suggested by the famous epistle of Mr.. Sum-
ner, is one of the most brilliant of his later
efforts and ought to be everywhere read. 1t
will be impossible to say hereafter that the
leading American orator of to-day is great
only because of his skill in the use of invec-
tive. In Phillips's letter Mr.. Sumner is
treated most reverently, and the resistless
force of the appeal lies solely in the facts
which he marshals against the Senator Mr..
Phillips must be credited with a tolerable
familiarity with the facts, and if after his
resume any rational man can contend that
Grant has been untrue to the cause of hui
man liberty while Greeley has been faithful,
that Grant is the assailant of the African race
and the heartless ruffian generally, while Mr..
Greeley is the man of principle, it will indeed
be surprising.
Mr.. Sumner is now curiously isolated
from all men whose goo non has
hitherto been desired by him. He has
found even more quickly than Seward or
Chase or Schurz or Trumbull or the other in
fuential leaders who have from time to time
deserted the Republican party, that no vener-
alton for the past services and no respect for
the character of any man, however en-
inent, have any effect in cuasing the minut
est diversion of the American people from
their pursuit of justice and equality. Mr..
Sumner expected tn political heavens to fall
when he made IN the Senate that monstrous
speech across which history is sure to write
in ineffacible letters FALsEHooD. Rut the
moral sky is still as serene as eyer.-none the
less SO for the loss of one bright star. Gar
rison, Gerritt Smith, Phillips, and all the
old Spartan band of Abolitionists are still
there. Gsrrison's letter did as much service
in the cause of human rights as dozen num-
bers of the Liberator. Phillips's letter shows
that its author might be giant in the domain
of practical craftsmanship, if he did not pre-
fer to be an agitator. Blaine does not belong
to the school of men with whom Mr.. Sum-
nsr's name has been associated, but his letter
must have annoyed the Senator because there
were points in it that could not be answered
and which he attempted to meet with
defamation and digniied insolence alone.
But Mr.. Summers great disappointment
must be in the utter contempt with which his
suggestions have been received by the freed
men His letter was written on purpose to
influence the North Carolina election. ,,o+
the negroes of that State voted for Caldwell
almost to man. Frederick Douglass, whose
fsncied wrongs were made one of the most tell
ing points in Mr.. Summers" abusive speech
adheres to Grant as the most reliable friend of
his race and defends him against the unjust
aspersions of his foes. 1t is now conceded
on all hands that the negro vote of the whole
South will be thrown for the Grant electors.

political point of view. Unless the fellow is

the Liberal cause has been languishing and
that every day the prospect of the Republi-
