All parts OF the state were well repre-
scuted and in point OF character and in.

strong. 1t was anticipated that . differ.
ance Of opinion would exist among the
members with regard 10 the conduct Of the
Administration. and early in the day this
expectations was realized, by the introduce
ton Of the clashinr resolutions Of Gen.
Chamberlain and Capt. Bou;el.e. II was
at once seen that the opinions held by the
advocates and opponents Of these resolu-
lions, were irrecouci.able. Fortunately
the Convention was made up of Republic
cans Of too much good sense and with too
high a regard for the welfare of the party

though 1t might have been gratifying To
either side, TO have their opionions endorsed

thereby resulted. but on the other hand.
much harm TO the party. The policy OF
the Administration has been settled and
resolutions for or against. will not change
il. Ii is probably too soon to foresee with
certainty, the result. and ii is far better 10
allow the people to judge OF its wisdom,
than at this early day to favor or condemn
by State proclamation
The platform adopted was all that could
be desired. as a clear and strong statement
Of the principles of the party and the omis-
sion Of views TO which all could not as

OF the Republican party in the coming cam.
pasn. The unanimous denomination OF
the gallant Gen. tonnor as Governor. with
no question a TO his views on the national
policy, proves couclusively the unity OF the
Republicans Of Maine, and points with
uuerring certainty TO glorious victory in
September.
