Maine Democrats.

The Democratic State Committee of
Maine assembled in Augusta Thursday.
and organized by the choice of Eben f.
Pillsbury, Esq, for Chairman, and Col.
John ID. Anderson of Gray for Secretary.
At its meeting the following resolutions
were adopted
Whereas, a widespread fear prevails
that band of conspirators is attempting
to overthrow our constitutional system of
elective government by substituting the
fraudulent certificates of corrupt partisan
Returning Boards in several States for the
votes actually given by the qualified cleo
tors, therefore
Resolved That the mass of reliable in
formation from private and public sources
,iustities the opinion that Samuel j. Tilden
and Thomas A. Hendricks We're fairly
elected on the 9TH day of November, 1876
by majority of all the electoral votes of
the thirty-eight States as well as by a
large popular majority of the popular
vote Of the whole country, to the offices of
President ard Vice-President of the United
States, for which they were respectively
supported. All attempts, therefore, to de-
feat the popular will by counting in mi
nority candidates for these high positions
should be persistently opposed by every
legal and constitutional remedy, to pre-
vent such monstrous crime against the
rights and liberties of the people.
Resolved, That we demand that Con-
gress shall honestly and impartially ascer-
tain the result of said election upon the
same principle and through the same pro-
cesses by which the results of all previous
National elections have been ascertained
and declared since the foundation OF our
Government; and to the popular will
thus ascertained and declared the sixty
thousand Democrats of Maine will render
willing obedience, and they will impera-
lively demand the same from every citi-
zen of the Republic
Resolved, That if conspirators are now
allowed to succeed in reversing the actual
vote of two or three States and counting
them for candidates against whom there
is clear majority, similar proceeding
at any future election can be applied to
ten, or any number of States necessary to
retain power in the hands of the ruling
party, and elective government in this
| country would be at end.
| Resolved, That we denounce the use oil
the army by the President of the United
States to control elections, to interfere in
the organization Of State Legislatures and
to menace the representatives of the peo
pie in Congress assembled as fragrant
violation Of the Constitution, demanding
the unqualified condemnation of all citi
zens who desire the preservation of popu
lar freedom and the perpetuity OF repub
lican institutions.

Louisiana.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. s.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. s.
This has been red-letter day in the history
of Louisiana. Gen. Nichols, the victorious
standard bearer of the Democracy in the recent
campaign, was inaugurated as Governor at 9
o'clock, amid the widest enthusiasm. Twenty
thousand people aided in the ceremony and
drew the Governor to the impromptu State
House in carriage. The most perfect peace
prevails throughout the city, and the new adj
ministration is selecting its State officers. The
City Government is in full operation. No man
| whatever his race, color or previous condition,
can suffer injustice in this State under Gov
Nichols administration.
INAUGURATION OF PACKARD.
| NEW ORLEANS, Jan. s. There was little eX-
| element in the vicinity of the State House to-
day attending the inauguration of Gov. Pack
| ard. A heavy force of police were on duty and
| admitted those who had passes. Not over 200
persons were in the Streets At O'Clock Gov.
| Packard entered the House of Representatives.
| Many ladies were in attendance, and the band
| played sHail to the Chief" After the Legisla-
| ture was called to order, Gov. Kellogg, intro
duced Packard and made a short speech; after
which Packard read an address. There was no
enthusiasm the people staid away thus testify
ing by their absence to their contempt for thi s
| farcial occurrence. President Grant hesitates
to recognize the Packard government, having
learned lesson from his meddling with Louis.
