desire of the North to conciliate the South
renders it advisable that our readers should

been made. Referring to the formation Of
colored Republican clubs the Advertiser
says:

How little We know what day NAV
bring forth. Only short time ago the
Greenbsckers Of the Fifth District were
claiming that they had the naming OF the
next Congressman in their own hands and
appeared to look down with pity on the
misguided followers Of the old parties
This delectable condition OF things contin-
ned SO long as each Of the more prominent
leaders regarded II as measurably sure
that lie was to be the coming man, but
when they met in convention and were
brought face to face with each other. 10

they had been so loudly proclaiming, they
begun to rend and tear each other in a
manner that bids fair TO result the same s

bitterly criticising the 'bread or blood I, speech
OF that festive young ROcklsnd cooper, Mr.. L.
X. Campbell. and there is the cooper turning
around and neatly barreling up the Age editor
IN the following fashion, in . letter TO the
Rockland Courier:
The delegates from this section did not go
into The Convention, as yoa did, with months
Of preparation. They had not sent to neigh

entertainment 70 delegates who would vote
for their candidate. Nor did they while in
Belfast, as you did, furnish delegates with din
neYs for the purpose OF influencing their votes
They went to work fairly and honestly, with

stead OF standing by the issue OF the Cor ven.
