the victory will be overwhelming. If by the
personal efforts of hundreds of active Repub-
licans in the five hundred towns and planta-
tions of the State, the Republican majority is
swelled two or three thousand, it will be to
the Democracy of the country what the cap
ture of Five Forks was to the fall of Rich
mond, the surrender of Lee and the collapse
OF the rebellion. If, as in 1850, 1864 and
1868, the Republicans of Maine desire to hold
the honor of leading the column of Victory,
they can do so by applying themselves to the
work in every school district as they did then.
The skies are bright. Intelligence from
every part of the State indicates that our pros
poets are frightening hourly. At the same
time unmistakable signs indicate that the De-
mocracy is losing ground and losing courage.
The popular tide turned in our favor several
weeks since, and has been setting stronger
day by day; but we must not allow ourselves
to be satisfied with these gratifying results.
We must not rely upon large and enthusiastic
meetings and eloquent and forcible speeches
alone. To achieve the victory we shall be
proud of, our hundreds of Republican workers
must do their utmost from this time until the
close of the polls, Monday, September 9th.
1t is gratifying to know that our friends are
awake and at work in their localities. We
only invoke them to double effort and re-
newed energy on the eve of the most impor-
tant political contest ever fought in Maine.
Let our watchwerd in every town in Maine
until the polls close, be:-NoT THE DEFEAT
BUT THE ANNIHILATIoN OF THE ENEMY.

will be spared to us.'-[HOrace Greeley.

The Loss OF THE METTs.-The awful disas-
ter to the steamer Metis, on Long Island Sound
by which twenty-five persons--this is the last
estimate-lost their lives causes thrill of pain
all through the community, and one turns from
the perusal of the sorrowful details to inquire
where the responsibility for this wholesale muir
der rests. OF course a correct Judgment cannot
be made up until formal investigation has
been had; but we confess that the statements
OF the surviving passengers and the testimony
OF the captain of the collding schooner, if tcs-
tlmony given under the circumstances has any
weight, place Capt. Burton, of the steamer in
no desirable position. The captain of the
schooner says that he was run into. He hailed
the steamer to lay by, but finding his vessel not
sinking he made for New London. This state
ment appears to be corroborated by some of the
passengers The steamer Stonington offered
her assistance, but Capt. Burton, without stop
ping to ascertain the condition of his vessel de
clned the offered help The first knowledge of
the real state of affairs was developed when the
steamer began to settle in the water The
officers of the Metis disregarded one of the first
rules of navigation. 1t was their duty to keep
clear of sailing vessels. This obligation is nat
urally thrown upon vessels propelled by steam.
Again, the captain was criminally negligent in
not hooking on his pumps and ascertaining to
certainty whether his vessel was making apy
water. Instead Of this he sent the mate to
make An peculiar survey. The needed informa-
ton might have been obtained in five minutes.
and thus good many valuable lives would
have been saved. Trusting to appearances and
relying on the staunohness of the vessel was
the blunder which magnifed the disaster. From
the tenor of all the accounts that have reached
the public, carelessness and nefficency COM
bined were the causes which led to the terrible
rasnlI
