window at another boy on the

ended in two instead Of four years and near
ly all of the Indebtedness incurred by Maine
towns for volunteers would never have been
required. But the greater part of the Dem
ocratic leaders and the great mass of Demo-
cratic politicians in Maine, by their disloyal
policy, held out inducements TO the enemy to
continue the war so costly in life and treas
ure,
Now turn to the state tax. OF the dis
bursements of the State Treasurer for the
year 1873 amounting to $1.362, ,453 the sum
of $500, ,294 was paid out on account of
liabilities of va-ious sorts growing out of the
late war. Wereit not for this war debt OF
over five millions, the state pensions and 9th
Ell liabilities of the same nature, the state tax
would not be half the sum now required of
the tax payers of Maine.
We therefore make the statement that more
than three fifths of the burden of municipal
and state taxation now imposed upon the
people of Maine IS DUE TO LIABILITIES
GROWING OUT OF THE DEMOCRATIC REBEL
LION OF 1861 IS, and we challenge success
ful contradiction. In view of this selfevi-
dent fact, one would think that the Demo-
cratic press would keep quiet about the bur-
den OF taxation; but those party Journals
have not even the goon taste or candor of
the highwayman who admits his crime and
attempts to give virtuous explanation there

Why Taxes Ara High.

The Democratic press with the audaeity
of the highwayman who commiserates his
victim after he has robbed him, is constantly
telling the tax payers in the mostpitiful man
ner of the hardships they are compelled to
bear because of the increased burden of state
and municipal taxes. Of this fact there can
be no doub5, and candor compels us to add
That although these burdens are constantly
growing lighter, they must be heavy for some
time. But how does it happen that towns
and cities are, as a general thing, so much in
debt? A part of our cities and towns are
paying interest on railroad bonds, but aside
from this large majority of the towns of the
state have large debts which they are labor
ing hard to reduce and pay the interest on.
1t is hardly worth while to take much time
in showing for what purpose these debts were
contracted. Every man with particle of
brains knows that these heavy town debts
were contracted in paying bounties to men to
induce them to enlist in an army to Illustrate
an attempt of eleven Democratic states to
overthrow the government. If these eleven
Democratic states had quietly submitted to
the will of the people as indicated in the
election of Abraham Lincoln, there would
have been no call for soldiers and the mil
lions of debt incurred to fill the srmy by
Maine towns would not have been needed.
Further, if the Democratic leaders in Maine
and the entire Democratic press had heartily
co-operated with President Lincoln ia sup.
pressing the insurrection, it would have been

An Independent Opinion.

No one will charge the New York Tribune
with being uDduly prejudiced in favor of the
Republicans. In view of this fact we com.
mend the following comments on the pend
ing election to our readers:
There is not particle Of doubt that the Re-
publicans will cary the election iu Maine next
mouth by about the usual majority. 1t is sim,
ply local election with Legislature and
state officers to be chosen, and the contest-if
the formality of canvass in which the Demo
Gratis indulge may be called contest-has lit
tie in it with which national politics is con-
cerned The election of single Congressman,
to fill vacancy, Is of small consequence, as it
cannot affect the political complexion of the
House of Representatives, and has no signif-
cance from party point Of view. As between
the two parties in the state, the Republicans un
doubtedly deserve to succeed. They have had
power in the state for more than twenty years
and though their administration Of affairs has
been by no means fautless, it must be admit
ted that they have shown sense of the re-
sponsibiiity of power, and a recognition OF
their obligations to the people and the state.
which fairly entities them, as things 60, to the
continued confidence of the voters. In their
administration of the state government there
haze been no scandals, no conspicuous abuses, no
inasscretions eUer, achich would justify the people
IN turning them out, and taking the desperate
chances aohich must tolloU the sudden elevation
to poDer of party so badly managed, so ,oeak
" led, so hungry for place, and so amused to its
responsibilities as the Maine Democracy. There
is no good reason why the people of Maine
should turn out the Republicans and put Demo.
Gratis in their places, and certainly no danger
that they will this year

Mr.. IsAAcS S. BROWN of Pownal hopes to
be elected Senator and thereafter write
Hon." before his name. He is very good
candidate as Democratic candidates go, and
bis Democracy is of that decided stamp
which receives the full endorsement of Mr..
Marcellus Emery. A townsman of Mr..
Brown tells us that his Democracy in 1868
was SO decided that he advised the town to
pay the communication fee of $500 to the gen.
eral government rather than put in men
when they could be obtained for 5000. He
said in effect, "Keep our men at home; pay
the $500 to Abe Lincoln and let him fill his
army with niggers" How such patriotism
strengthened the heart of Mr.. Jefferson Da.
Wis, who is now being punished for all the
sins of the Maine Democracy including Mr..
Isaac S. Brown of Pownal.

The Argus sounds the note of warning to
its Democratic friends, and hints that they
would do well to absent themselves from the
Republican clam-bake at Old Orchard, be-
cause, as it feelingly remarks, in case of sick
ness the Biddeford liquor agency is the nearest
place where medicine can be obtained. The
advice will doubtless have weight, for that
clam.bake is going to make the Democrats
feel very sick indeed.

mouth, last Saturday, Gen. John Marshal
Brown was unanimously nominated for Rep
resentative to the Legislature. The nomina
ton, we need not say, is an unusually good
one, and we sincerely hope that Gen. Brown
will be elected. Gen. Brown is man of po.
sitive character and ideas, and represents a
class of our fellow citizens who wonld have
healthy influences upon legislation.

shall have been duly convicted shall exist within

Article by appropriate legislation.
In the Senate, the above amendment to the
constitution was ratified bya unanimous
vote, as that body was unanimously Repub-
licsn. In the House the vote stood 103 yeas
to 10 nays. The first man voting against
this amendment to the constitution FOREVER

This same Benjamin NJ. Baker is a Demo
cratic candidate for Senator in this county.
Now, Mr.. Baker, if this same question was
submitted to you this year would you vote
yes or no? Doubtless you would say that
you had changed your uieUs on the subject
which is another and more pleasant way OF
saying that after fighting this amendment
and the events of which it was the result
with unprecedented persistency and bitter
ness for years, you have submitted to the in
evitable only when you discovered it was
such. Mr.. Baker,i you are satisfied with the
XI'Ith amendment, your satisfaction is very
like that of the badly beaten fellow in hand

nomy, shouts in panicky way, "Stop, stop,
