SIXTY DAYS PATIOVS.

The report in Corporal Emery's paper
of the speech of General Roberts III Dan

nominated to assume command OF the
GRAND democratic army" makes the
..patriot soldier" close his remarks as fol-
lows: II bid you good night, with the
.hope tina: shall shortly meet you in line

"and equipped as the law directs
In the light of Order No. 2, recently is
sued from the headquarters of the General,
this matter OF rations becomes significant
and important. According to that Order,
which was sent out but IL few days ago,
the work of enrolling the democracy in
companies, regiments, brigades, divisions
"and corps was only then about to be-
gin, and the middle of August is stated
as the date which will find "our whole
..army, for the first time in twenty years,
..in battle array, from the New Hampshire
boundary to the Province borders, and
from the Canadian frontier to the Ocean. "
Now from the middle of August to the
dav of election is less than the half of six
ty DAYS. The war will end on the 18th of
September The notes Of the "bugle"
will then no longer be heard in the land;
the "watch-fres" will have ceased to
burn; the .'minute men" will be rejoicing
on the evening of that day with their fam
lilies at home. What need then of sixty
days ra,ions for a campaign which will be
less than thirty days from commencement

We have no key-hole witness to tell us
ali that has transpred in the secret coun-
ellis of the democratic chieftains, but 1t
seems reasonable suppostion that Cen
eral Roberts is not well supported in his
plans; that the democracy are rather
slow to "face the music" under such Cor
porals as Emery and Pillsbury, more re-
nowned for running away than fighting,
better acquainted with discouraging en-
l;stments than with forwarding them.
And so General Roberts finds that the siX
ty DAYS which he was to have for cam
paigning with a we'll organized army at
his back has shrunk to thirty, with a
prospect that unless Corporal Emery and
Pillsbury resign, his "battle array will be
exceedingly meagre even on the very day
when the battle will be decided 1t may
be that the inertia of General Mcclellan
the Great Unready" as the British re-
viewers styled him-clings to General
Roberts and affects his management of
this campaign, but whether it be this or
the cause previously mentioned which has
operated to postpone the organization OF
the democracy, the fact remains that the
"army" is very slow in getting into LINE

DEMOCRATIC ABUSE or SPEAKER
BLAINE.

DEMOCRATIC ABUSE or SPE1hER
BLAINE.
1t would be interesting to know what
the democratic papers expect to accom-
plish by their constant misrepresentation
and abuse of Speaker Blaine. They are
merely gnawing file. Their bandying
his name about alternately as candidate
for the Presidency and U. S. Senator.
making him the author of personal attacks
upon their candidates. representing him
figuring in republican county conventions
to secure support for U, S. Senator and be-
ing beaten, and placing him at the head of
an imaginary political ring, is all simply a
display of impotent rage. The effect of
this misrepresentation and abuse. if any,
is only to place him higher in the estima-
ton of the republicans of the State.
Attacks of this character were never
more undeseryed. The democrats never
had more magnanimous opponent. His
practice and his influence have always been
in the direction of giving them as the mi
nority party more than they could justly
claim. As to personal attacks, they are
not Mr. Blaine mode of warfare, as ev-
erybody knows who has observed his
course both rs an editor and political
speaker. And to represent him us having
written, or dictated, or inspired an article
to be put forth over the name of another
is mean and contemplate. His methods
of political warfare are far different and
far more effective, as the democrats have
found to their chagrin.
Asto NJ Blaine as a public man, there is
not statesman in the country with
cleaner political record. During the time
he has been Speaker in Congress, he has
been as light set on a hill, and his oppo-
nents with all their narrow watching have
been unable to detect any flaw in him.
They have been unable TO involve him in
Credit Mobiier operations or salary grabs.
If they have discovered that he has be-
come the possessor of moderate wealth,
they have been unable with all their pry-
ing to discover that it has not been by fair
aud hoporable gains. When he left the
Speakers chair he was more popular than
when he went into it. and no Speaker ever
left the chair with so earnest testimonial
as to honor and faithfulncss AS he The
shafts of political malice and envy which
the democratic papers in this State are
aiming at him fall utterly harmless al his
feet. No man in this country unites the
qualities of the true statesman and the
sagacious and high minded politician to a
greater extent than he Among the prob
able candidates of the republican party for
the Presidency he stands to- day pre-emi-
nent, and no stronger name in our view
can he presented. The republicans Of
Maine will support his candidacy with a
will. In the mean time, those democratic
ours may keep barking il it suits them

Referring to the assertion made by coll
ored friends that he is being quoted as hay
lug advised the coiored people to leave the
republican party, Mr.. Frederick Douglass
makes this reply in letter just published ::
There is no truth in the story that at
Hillsdale. Or anywhere else. advised col
ored men to abandon The leaders of the
republican party. and to set up for them
selves. In the speech at Hillsdale no such
idea was in my mind and heart, and how
ANYBODY could honestly think otherwise
cannot imagine Properly interpreted, it
is an appeal to the American people to
substitute the simple rule of Justice TOR the
rule OF invidious charity in their treatment
ofthe negro--to give him his rights rather
than slips, TO give him, not favor. but fair
play. - -
