THE religious issue is upon us. The gross
intolerance of the Democracy is shown by
the attempt of their leading organ, the argus,
to thrust hellfre down the throats of the
people, and to precipitate the country into
religions war. The argus takes its stand
upon hell-fire as good Democratic doctrine,
and is laboring to commit the state to that
dogma. Universalists and Unitarians, be on
your guard! You are in serious danger.
The Democrats purpose to outrage your be-
lief and trample upon your religion. They
are engaged in wicked attempt ''to excite
sectarian prejudice for party advantage"
Take warning ere it is too late. If the DEM
ocrats ever get possession of Maine you will
all be burned.

History.
PORTLAND, Sept. IL, 1875.

PoRFLAND, sept II, 1870.
To the Editor of the Press:
was not little surprised at Gen. Mattocks'
remark which gave the audience at City Hall
to infer hat Gen. Roberts served through the
war. have looked the matter up and find
that Gen. Roberts was leaving the army in
disgust just as Gen. Mattocks was entering it,
In other words, Gen. Mattocks took Gen. Rob-
erts' place. 1 have been looking too, to find
who has said aught in this campaign against
Gen. Roberts military record, but I can't find
word except in praise of his courage and sol
dierly qualities. Gen. Roberts left the army
because he was d.sgusted with the Lincoln ad-
rainistration; to use the words imputed to him:
LINCOLN WENT TO BED WHITE MAN AND GOT
UP a NIGGERp' The fact is patent to all that
Gen. Roberts came back from fighting the
rebels at the front to fight his comrades from
the rear. VETERAN.

A Chang (!

The Democratic leaders are demanding a
CHANGE. 1t would be good thing for those
who have not tasted the pleasure of officia ;
positions since they were expelled from office
by an indignant people whose government
they either had attempted to destroy or look
ed on quietly and approvingly while the work
was going on. 1t could not benefit any other
class unless the men who plunged the nation
in a debt to preserve it, repudiate the nation
al promises. The country has got to pay
ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY OR FIFTY
millions because the Democratic leaders
plunged the nation into 1RAITOROUS
war. The State of Maine has to pay SEVEN
HUNDRED THOUSAND dollars annually
to pay debts contracted in putting down a
Democratic Rebellion. There is no way to
get rid of this ENORMOUS burden but by
repudiation. Do the Democrats propose to
cut down taxes by repudiating the promises
of the government?

The Duty of Voting.

We desire to make as prominent as posi-
BILE the following just sentiments from SER
mon recently delivered by Rev. John Will
hanson of Chicago:
voting is religious act. The good citizen
is allowed no discretion. He must vote at ev
cry election or stand condemned. God has a
will respecting the nation well as the man.
good man should vote, though the duty may
seem an unpleasant one. 1t is crime to be
pre-occupied on election day.. The voters of
the present hold in their hands the destinies of
the civilizations as yet unrevealed. In our day
duty is no longer an emotion, but service
Good men outnumber and so may outvote bad
men if they will. Government, then, both

1t is needless for US to say that we enter
tain the highest appreciation of the ability
and integrity of Gen. S. j. Anderson. We
have frequently shown our appreciation oil
the mans estimable qualities by defending
him against the aspersions of his own party
organ. But we have had occasion to remark
that Gen. Anderson, since he went into rail
road business, has only attended to politics
as diversion; and men who do this sort OF
thing as amateurs do not keep posted. We
have no doubt, General, but that you told
exactly what you believed about the salary
grabbing; but the fact is, you was unfortu-
nate in not being posted. Now, General, we
will present you the facts about the votes of
the two parties in Congress on the salary
grabbing bill:
Republican members and Senators for the bill; rs
'' &c against the bliss
Republican majority against the BILL. ......... 8
Democratic members and Senators for the bill -; SO SO
Democratic majority for the bill. "a
Now, General, the above is taken from the
official records, and your statement about
salary grabbing in your remarkable speech of
Saturday night is an unfortunate one for a
gentleman of your intelligence. Clip the
above, General, it may save you hereafter.

Mr.. Pillsbury told us Saturday that the bill
granting aid TO secure the building of the Pa
cific Railway was great steal, a black Re-
publican steal of seventy millions. Now we
don't agree with Mr.. Pillsbury. We believe
that one Pacific Railway is necessary and
that it could not have been secured without
the liberal aid of the government. At any
rate, LORENZO De MEDICI SWEAT of this
city, the Democratic Representative in Con
gress from this district, voted for it, and it is
hard to call him Republican thief.

You who are inclined TO believe in Demo-
cratic professions of reform bear in mind the
practical illustration given by their leading
organ, the argus. That paper condemns
stealing for others, but does not object to de-
ing little on its own account. In its opin-
ion salary grabbing is something frightful, but
subscription grabbing is quite the proper
thing to do.

state treasury, in charging the state more for
a subscription than it does an individual, ,invio-

To the Polls 3!


REPUBLICANS OF PORTLAND! To-day
victory is within our grasp if we work for it.
Our enemy is confident, because he relies
upon our inactivity. He imagnes that we
are palsied by apathy. Let us show him that
we are awake and as determined as we were
in the glorious days of the past.
Do not be deceived; it is the same vicious
foe that we have so frequently conquered.
He has the same instincts now as in the past
To-day the leaders of the Democracy will
marshal their solid ranks of voters who repre-
sent the most ignorant and most vicious of
our population. There is no question but
that the voters who cannot read and those
who chafe under the restraints oflaw will be
out III full force They are the natural allies
of the Democratic party. In view of this
fact, does it not become intelligent and law
abiding citizens to meet them at he polls
vote for vote?
To-day the verdict in this city will depend
possibly upon fifty voters. Fifty Republicans
by excusing themselves, may give the city to
the Democrats. Hence the imperative ne
cessity of securing EVERY REPUBLICAN
vote.
REPUBLICANS OF PORTLAND! Show
yourselves worthy of your glorious record OF
the past by GIVING TO-DAY UNTIL THE
