reference given to the section in the organic
act, which prescribed the manner in which the

cations.

AN EIPL4NA TORY LETTER-SEN-
ITORLiL.

The following letter from Hon. Fred n.
Dow of Portland was published in the Ad-
vertiser of that city on Tuesday evening.
Mr. Dow is a candidate for nomination at the
coming republican contention in Cumberland
county, for State Senator.
To the Editor of tie Aarertiser:
As some writer in the Star of the 10Th, re-
ferred to me as 'Hamlin man., and as a
somewhat lively and ingenious opposition is
circulating every variety of rumors as to my
position upon the Senatorial question, and as
do not desire any person to support ME for
the State Senate through any misapprehen-
sion of my views upon any question, deem
it proper to say that am entirely uncommit-
ted upon the subject of the United States
Senatorship, save only that l feel myself
bound in case of my nomination and election
to represent the views of Cumberland County.
have, however, recently said to one or two
gentlemen that, as Governor Washburn and
his friends are vigorously opposing my noml-
nation, thus rendering such an event (should
the county be favorable to Governor Wash
burns aspirations for the United States SEN
ate) undesirable and improbable, it would be
a natural inference, if should be nominated
in the face of such opposition. that the coun-
ty preferred the Hon. Josiah II. Drummond
(who is supporting me) to Governor wash
burn for United State Senator.
may add that, under such circumstances
and in the absence of instructions from the
convention to the contrary, if nominated and
elected, shall consider that l am 'repre-
senting the views Of the county," which alone
l have pledged myself to do, in using all hon
orable means to secure the election OF MIR.
Drummond to the United States Senate.
Thus much have felt it due to myself and
the public to say upon this subject, as know
eff nothing in the position with which my
name is now somewhat connected, or in any
other, that is worth obtaining through mis-
representation or any dshonorable course
