State Muster at Bangor.

The second day of the muster has been a
magnificent day, and there has been large
attendance to witness the evolution of the
troops. The forenoon was principally occu-
pied in an artillery drill by the Androscoggin
light artillery, and by battalion drill, which
was witnessed by thousands who were de-
lighted with the proficiency of the troops.
who drilled like veterans. During the drill a
special order from the commander-in -chiet
gave authority to the Hamlin light infantry of
this city, "a new organization named in honor
of our distinguished SENATOR to parade with
arms. They appeared ON the grounds in the
afternoon, making fine appearance 10 their
new uniforms, and will to morrow take an act
i've part in the muster. This afternoon ba-
tallion drill occupied the time from $50 to s.,
and at at 5 p. m. dress parade in the presence
of an immense crowd closed the duties of the
day. This evening the Montgomery Guards
of Portland, with Chambers band, attended
the bazaar being held in the new ST. Mary's
(Catholic) church, returning to camp at IL
pm. Governor Dingley arrived tonight,
and will review the troops tomorrow at three
o'clock. Thus far everything has been a
success, and if the present promises of fair
weather hold good the most sanguine expec.
tations of all will be verified.

est resumption Of specie payments. He con.
tinued his remarks IN line with sentiments
OF the platform and adopted by the convention,
claiming that cheap transportation was need
ed BY New England, the South and the West.
What is wanted is scheme just to the pub
lie and just to the Railroad Companies, and
when such scheme is perfected there is no
doubt Congress will enact it, at least Repub-
lican Congressman can be trusted with the
matter. In reference to the present trouble
In the South, he traced them to the fact that
the worst elements there thought they saw
evidences in the North that their friends the
Democrats, the old allies of slavery and Sc
cession, were about to obtain control of the
Government again, and then commenced
their old lawlessness, persecution of negroes
and loyal whites, which within the last few
weeks has eliminated in wholesale murder
and the most appalling outrages. The poor
colored people sadly need opportunities for
education and culture. He favored separate
schools, but Insisted that some hour every
child shall have the benefits of the common
schools. The republican party opposed
slavery, so it will oppose oppression of every
sort, and the c)lored men must be protected
by the same law that is over US all. He de-
cided the third term gasconade, and closed as
follows: "Party ties in this country are not
as strohS Us formerly, 1or intelligent men are
beginning to think and act for themselves
without regard to party leaders. Indeed, no
man can be leader who is not in accord with
the best and highest sentiments of his con.
stituents. 1t now becomes all honest and up
right citizens to take their stand for principle
and right, looking forward with confidence
to grand and prosperous career for the Ma
ton, and assured that he who doeth his duty
fearlessly and faithfully will be remembered
with the appreciation of his connsrymen."

New York, Sept. 2.
An advance copy of Gov. Noyes' speech
made at the ratification meeting tonight on
the nominations made by the Ohio republican
convention was sent to the New York city
papers. In it he says the great questions of
the day are the management of the finances,
cheap transportation, the thorough paci6ca-
ton and development of prosperity in the
south, the civil rights of the colored people
and the promotion of such moral reforms as
are necessary for the public good. He says
it is for the country to determine whether the
republican party, which has done so much, is
better prepared to master these important
matters, or the democracy which has done
nothing and attempted nothing except to en-
bsrrass the best efforts of the administration.
He referred to the different stands taken by
different democratic conventions on the rev.
