The Fifth District.

The following letter from Hon. Ebenezer
Knowlton explains ITSELF Wepublish it en-
tire to prevent any Misrepresentation of the
motives of his action. Mr.. Knowlton frankly
accepts the verdict of the Convention and
will earnestly labor for Mr.. Hale's election.
His honorable and manly course should in
spire all his friends to similar determination
to prevent the success of combinations which
seek to throw the representation of the Dis
trict into the hands of the Democracy:
-Ig SOUTH MoNTvILLE, July 8, 1872.
Hon. j. A. Milliken, Chairman of the Fifth
District Congressional Committee.
Dear Sir:-I have learned that the late
Convention at Ellsworth nominated me as a
candidate for Presidential elector. Now I
shall most cordially support Gen. Grant and
so aciu every delegate from Waldo pho pre-
terred me to Mr.. Hale as a candidate for Con-
greSs. shall also support Mr.. Hale as the
regular nominee 0fthdt Convention, according
to all honorable usage between opposing can
didateS in snch cases, and as the Oaly practi-
cal way to prevent the election of a Demo-
crat or Greeleyite.
But as the Office of Presidential elector is
regarded as merely complimentary, and as
that honor was given me four years ago-and
no man has held that office twice since the
foundation of the Republican party-and as 1
could not accept this extra compliment at this
time, without causing unusual thoughts to
arise, respectfully decline the nomination.
Yours &C.,

The Southern Platform
(From the New York Evening Post }.


The Caucasian is Missouri newspaper
gifted with the gift of prophecy. Whether it
had knowledge on which to base its vaticina-
tions, or whether it was only natural cute
ness that gave it the power to look into fltur-
ity, it is in vain to conjecture. But this is
certain-it predicted the nomination of Gree
ley and Brown as the Democratic candidates
months before the meeting of the Cincinnati
Convention.
The Caucasian is not only a prophet, tits
also statesman. 1t has a platform of its
own, and here it is:
State Sovereignty, White Supremacy, and RE-
PUDIATIoN! This is Libertyp'
Our platform The Constitution of 1860 and
the Rights of the States!'
This is White Mans Government, made
by White Men, for White Men and their Pos
terity, forever!'
"DowN WITH THE FIFTEENTH AMEND
MENTp'
Equal Taxation and the Rightful Represen-
tatlon OF all the States, ANOTHER REBELL-
IoNp'
Except that the Fifteenth Amendment is of
comparatively recent enactment, and that re-
pudlatlon may be a consequence of acquisi-
ton OF war debt, this statement of princi-
pies has nothing new in it. If it is in the
least startling it is only in its profuse use of
notes of admiration, small capitals and italics,
for from estate sovereignty down to "rebell-
ion' it is precisely the body of doctrine which
'fired the southern heart'' before the war;
State sovereignty at the South means,
as it always meant, State suprema-
cy at the South only, or southern indie
pendence. 1t never meant sovereign local
government, but the sovereignty of the south
ern States over the northern States, and the
supremacy of power based upon chattel
slavery over all that section where slavery did
not exist, and between whose interests and
those OF shareholders there was an irreconcil-
able hostility. ''White supremacy means,
therefore, not only the supremacy of white
men over black men, but of white men own
ing or controlling negroes. over all other
white men. This was the autonomy which
the South endeavored to establish nv force Of
arms in civil war of four years.
Is this obscure Sheet called the Caucasian
the only Southern rebel that has kept green
the memory of what the South fought for
and lost? We venture to say that not only
does every rebel remember it, but he believes
in it still. Not only does he believe in it, but
he would fight for it again as well, if he
thought it possible that anything could be
gained by fighting. But the Caucasian is
only absurd when it talks about another re-
bellion. The South learned that they lost
by war that which they had always possessed,
and might still have held in peace, through
politics and the Democratic party. Through
the Democratic party they hope now to re-
gain all that can be saved from the wreck of

night.-BangOr Commercial.
These gentlemen are not accustomed to
travel in such company. The Commercial
evidently feels that the Bangor public needs
special assurance that Tilton will not be ac-
companied by Mrs. Woodruff and that Kill
patrick does not take along the companion
with whom he scandalized the Court of Chill,

MIR. Wilson's Prediction.

In his speech at Cooper Institute in April
Senator Wilson said that in 1860. in 1864.
and in 1868 he predicted how the States
would 60. In the first year he did not miss
one, and on the other occasions he missed
one each-the last time because he did not
comprehend The "coming power of Tam
many" He then predicted that at the COM
ing election twenty-seven States would go
for Grant. Friday, while the Senator
was in New York, he was confronted with
the alleged statement that he had said Grant
would carry but one State. Mr.. Wilson re-
marked to his interviewer that he still adj
hered to his Cooper Institute prediction, and
that Grant would carry twenty-seven States.
This puts aquietus upon class of roorbacks
which is becoming quite numerous among
the Fusionists. They have discovered that
all the world is for Greeley, and that the Re-
publican lines are breaking. 1t is too bad to
be obliged to remove this delusion and nre-
sent their case in all its naked deformity. Int
it must be done.

class without political recognition; repudia-
ton, or more probably the assumption of the
southern war debt; that sort of state sover-
eighty which means the sublection OF north

South still hopes is possible if the existing
Democratic organization will be restored to
power. They know, and the Democratic
leaders know, that the people will never con-

put the government again into the hands of

did their best to end it by the subjugation OF

The Republicans of Ohio are at work per-
fecting the most thorough and complete or
ganization ever made in that State.
The Machias Republican says:
We are safe in saying that there is not
single Republican i'm Machias, who has, up to
this year, been depended upon as a Republic
can, who will vote for Horace Greeley. We
do not believe there is single man in Ma
chias, who heretofore has upheld the Repub-
lcan party, and who did not need looking af
ter Oh election day, who would not feel
ashamed and degraded to put Democratic
vote into the ballot box; for vote for Horace
Greeley, is to all intents and purposes, a
Democi attic vote. ...
In July, 1868, the Argus thus pays its
compliments to Gen. Cochrane, now Mr..
Greeley's right hand man as "the renegade
Democrat and shoddy contractor and the very

Doolittle, President of the Baltimore Con-

Greeley. Doolittle ran for Governor of Wis

the following compliment from Horace:

ROMANTIC STORY OF DIR. LIVINGSTONE
The Herald has letters from Stanley, its African
correspondent, giving a history of his travels,
his meeting with DR., Livingstone, and the lat
tiers accounts of his explorations. According
to Stanley, DIR. Livingstone says the Chambezi
is the head waters of the Nile. The stories
the Doctor tells of the two countries through
which the great river runs sounds like fable
He tells of ivory being SO cheap and plentiful
as to be used for door posts, of the skillful
manufacture of fine grass cloth rivaling that of
India, of people nearly white and extremely
handsome whom he supposes to be descendants
OF the ancient Egyptians, of copper mines at
Katrange, which have been worked for ages.
and of docile and friendly people. DIR. L:v-
ingstone and Stanley explored the head of Lake
Tanganyika and returned to Ujji, where
they spent the Christmas of 1871. Stanley
says he found Livingstone iu very destitute
condition robbed and deserted by his men, He
looks to be only about 80 and quite hale and
hearty and weighs 1870 pounds. = In March 1872
he began to organize an expedition to explore
few doubtful points which he thinks will take

bronze statue of Lincoln, for the monument to
be erected over the remains at Springfield, ILL.,,
is now receiving the last touches at the hands
of the artist, Mr. S. Mosman, at the Ames

is eleven feet, and it represents Mr.. Lincoln in
citizens dress, standing at rest, with his right
hand (still holding the pen with which he had
just signed the emancipation proclamation
resting upon the Roman fasces, over the top of
which is carelessly thrown the American flag.
Beside the fasces lies laurel wreath. The
left hand is slightly extended, grasping the roll
which gives liberty to three and half million
slaves. The figure weighs 44OO pounds Four
groups of bronze statuary surround this. effiey
on the monument at Springfield, which is to
comprise a memorial hall, and will be a very

be $136, $50, and that of the bronze $4,000,
