THE PANIc.-A lady in this city who had
serious intentions of indulging in a new dress,
called upon a dress maker the other day an d
inquired when she could have dress made.
The lady was somewhat surprised when the
middle of December was stated as the earliest
possible day that new order could be filed
That particular lady is very decided in her
mind that the panic aud money stringency has
not reached Portland, particularly the portion
that patronize dress makers

Aunexn,;oy at Turaer,s U,Iaud.

Mr.. EDIToR:-A few days previous to the
evening of the ODD inst, the anti-annexation-
lists of the agricultural portions of Cape Eliza
beth called meeting at Turner's Island The
call being issued under the somewhat general
term OF Citizens Meeting" at the hour ap-
pointed the citizens of the village being quite
unanimously in favor of annexation, organized
the meeting with c. L. Littlefield as chairman,
and FL. Foster, Secretary. The Ants came
shortly after with an organization already ar
ranged and made an Intellectual attempt to sub
stitute it for the citizens then in place. The
question was warmly discussed on both sides,
and on motion of the Antis adjourned until
Wednesday nightlast.
AT the appointed time there was good crowd
present, the "Antis' coming outin full force.
The hrst effort of this party was to break up
the organization, but it was sustained as the
Island people are unanimously determined to
JOIN Portland The chairman announced that
the meeting should be conducted impartially,
and called upon the Ants to open the discus
sion. They had lost their courage and declined
to open the ball.
William Atwood was called upon to show the
audience map of the villages and territory
proposed to be annexed. He pointed out the
line and sections of interest within, aud then
began the struggle in dead earnest. Mr. At
wood spoke of the advantages to the farming
portion, the portion within the line, and to the
city of Portland in such style and with such
force that some of the speakers failed to re-
spond. A speech of greater power and effect
has not been made in Portland or Cape Eliza
beth on the question. Col. Smart of Ferry
Village, spoke with his usual spirit and effect,
together with others in favor of annexation.
Messrs. Pickett, Staples, Hannaford and the
Rev. Mr. Hillman spoke against annexation.
The "Antis'' got the floor and kept it for up
wards of an hour, when it became evident that
they bad arranged plan to nullify the action
of those ia favor and as soon as they got
through to move an adjournment, which they
did and got defeated.
The following resolution was offered by Dr.
Lowell of Ferry Village, and unanimously
adopted:
Whereas. the policy pursued by the farming
portion of the town of Cape Elizabeth conflicts
with the growth and prosperity of the several
villages on the water front of said town; and
Whereas, we deem it for the interest of SAID
villages to be annexed to the city of Portland;
therefore
Resolved That we continue our efforts to the
contamination of that purpose.

The Scene of the Convention.

Yesterday morning there was in the Con-
feeling amongst the friends of the two lead
ing aspirants for the office Of Governor the
night previous. They were both gentlemen
without fear and without reproacb. The
friends OF each could say that they sustained
their tavorite not that they loved his adver-
sarv less, but the State more; and each vote
was cast with the regret that it was given
against a man so full of merit and Of such
high honor.
SO when the Convention assembled yes
terday morning all hearts turned to the gal
laut W1rHERs, who had been defeated the
night before, and soon it was determined to
prove to him the high consideration in which
he was held by all present. Upon motion
made, he was by reclamation nominated for
Lieutenant Governor, and by committee
informed of The fact.
All who knew ROBERT E. WRITER'S knew
that he would be disinclined to accept the
second position when he had been an aspi-
rant for the first. But he came to the Con-
yention escorted by the committee, and was
received amidst cheers such as are seldom
awarded to any man. Amidst these hearty
evidences of popular affection he made his
way TO the stage, where he was received by
the officers Of the Convention, and intro
duced to the people but just rs he was
about to speak, that venerable and whole
souled patriot Colonel FLouRNoY anticipa-
ted him with stirring appeal to him to dis
miss all sensitiyeness-ali personal pride
and yield to sense Of public duty by &C.
cepting the position rendered him by the
unanimous voice Of the Convention. lie
assured him that with kENPER aud WITH
Eas on the ticket the Conservatives would
sweep the State by an unprecedented ma
iority; and assumed that Colonel WRITER'S
owed IT to bis State to stand up for her as he
had stood in the late struggle, sacrificing his
own feelings fer the public good.
Colonel WITHERs stood in the presence of
the vast and intelligent assemblage sur.
rounded by the most distinguished men Of
the State. He stood erect and firm, and
beard the thrilling appeal. He responded
in clear, deliberate sentences, ackuowledg Lying
the extraordinary compliment that had been
paid him, but declared that his se'frespect
and pride had led him to decline positively
to accept the honor until he had reached the
stand and listened to the applause OF DIS
friends and to the eloquent appeal of the
