Deeply were Il not for the fact that the issue
raised by Gen. Roberts, in denouncing the pro.
bibitory system, strikes at of the fundamental
principles of Good Templarsm. Our declaration
Of principles declares:
"No license in any form or under any clrcum-
stances, for the sale Of liquor to be used as bev-
craze. And the absolute prohibition of the man
nfacture. importation and sale of intoxicating
liuuors for such purposes prohibition by the will
~ the people, expressed in due form of law, with
the penalties deserved for crime of such cnor-
mty." 49,
Every Good Tcmpar who takes the obligation
of the order, subscribes to the declaration above
ouoted and is prohibitionist; indeed, this is now
the creed of Good Templars the world over.
And vet, here in Name, the birth-pla of prohi-
bition, we have the alarming spectacle of Gen.
Roberts, the standard bearer Of great party, de-
claring uncompromising hostility to this principle,
and denouncing it as Revolutionary in spirit,
ETC. and the press of his party very generally en-
dorse these sentiments. The party of which
Gen. Conner is the standard bearer, occupies
ground precisely the reverse of this-in fact the
very ground which the Good Temp.ars avow as
theirs in their declaration Of principles. And
while it is not for me to make any suggestions as
to the political duties of our friends, l must re-
spectfully inquire If the consistent Good Templar
or the consistent prohbtionist of every name, can
satisfy his conscience that he has been true to his
principles when he walks up to the polls in Sep
TENDER, and deposits ballot upon which is writ
ten-"Chas. W. Roberts-prohibition is revolu-
tionary in spirit, clog to business; never IA
vored i'll never will"

There is the best OF reasons why the
Argus should abuse Senator Morton. In
1868, Indiana elected democratic and
conse quentIy rebel Legislature, just such
a one as the Argus would have endorsed
at that time. That Legislature not only
refused to make provision for the raising
of new regiments and filling up OF those
in the field, but even to appropriate money
to pay the interest on the State debt. MIR.
Morton was at that time Governor. He
went to New York, and on his own re-
sponsibility obtained half million dollars
to pay the interest and enable Indiana to
respond TO the calls of President Lincoln
with an alacrity which was remarkable.
lie saved the credit Of the State and
thwarted the designs of a rebel democrat

The democratic papers are advertising
Senator Morton very freely. Their notices
ofhim though not intended to be compli-
mentary OF assist him in the assembling
of audiences to hear his speeches, will
commend him TO the attention of the peo-
pie of Maine and gain for him many lis
teners Were the democratic press 70
speak in commendation OF him, the com
munity would naturally inquire what
wicked thing he had done that the democ-
racy shonld praise him. Senator Morton
is a man entitled to the respect OF the
American people. He is one OF our hrst
liFors.torsand statesmen. He proved him
self a true patriot in the time OF the re-
bellion. He wields great power III the
Senate of the United States, and as pop
ular speaker few men equal him. we adj
wise everybody who can to hear him while

evening, and will be greeted by one OF
the best audiences our fair city can pro-
duce.

THTRMAN AND THE ca TXOLiCS.

Late utterances of Senator Thurman are
reported. in which he curses Sam Cary
the inhationists and the Catholics. Mr..
Humans friends have denied the truth
of these reports, but the person who made
them AYERS that they are true and has
made affidavit to that effect What he said
about the priests is as follows:
"Yes; we shall lose the State. The id priests
have oyerdone the thing by sticking their noses
INTO our politics, and they deserve to be beaten to
teach them their place. The democracy only have
themselves to blame in submitting to the demands
of the priests in the way they did. 1t was unfor-
tunate, indeed, that the Catholic question was
lugged into the campaign. The democracy was
the only party that ever did anything for the Cath
olics, and it would seem that the more that is
done for them the more they will demand. Their
arrogance is insufierable and, as we shall be de-
feated any way, / hope it will hereafter teach
these meddlesome priests a lesson that they will
understand-that is, to let politics alone. l, for
one, don't propose to stand any further nonsense
from these fellows"

WAKING UP.

The republicans of Bangor are going in.
to the campaign with their sleeves rolled
up. Monday evening they held a rousing
meeting and organized campaign club,
with list of officers of the best stuff
among them as campaign workers. This
means business. as General Roberts will
undoubtedly find. He claims that he will
carry the city. but we think he and his
friends have crowed too early. Let the
republicans everywhere exert themselves
as our friends are doing in Bangor. Wake
up! Bring out your banners!!
