The Proposed Celebration in Ellsworth

Auo AVPVoeO VoAOOk os4Oo ~ osaD WI sss'
1t has been decided that the approaching
Fourth OF July shall be duly observed In
this city with celebration that Is worthy
of the occasion. The decision Is a lauda-
bic one-all the more SO. because the dem
onstration b TO be conducted by the friessis
of Temperance, and il behalf Of The cause.
The programmes for the occaston has not
been fully made up. but its outline may be
given with sufficient exacfness for the pres
ent.
The principal features of the celebration
may be named as follows: An GRAFTON by
| some able speaker from abroad; al i'm
posing procession made up OF members OF
Reform Clubs. members OF Ladies' Aid
Societies. Good TemplArs. Tempiars OF
Honor and Temperance. Bands Of Hope.
members Of all other temperance or2ani-
zatlons and friends of temperance gener-
ally. Free Mssons In resslis, Bands OF
Music, riremen &C.. &C; psb'ie dinner at
Hancock Hall; trial OF engines aud n
gala-day OF rare attractions.
The arrangements for the occasion are 10
he hands Of The Committee of Ten" who
have issued q circular to the various tenn
persnce Organizations In Eastern Maine,
Inviting them TO he present and participate
in the festivities. Many Of these organiza-
lions have already responded fsvorably to
the invitation, and doubtless many others
will yet DO so. We most sincerely hope at
least every temperance organization In the
County will join with US on that day aud
help to make the celebration memorable
and inspiring event.
We hope that q new era will lie
commenced in the selection OF suitable
ceremonies for occasions OF this kind. We
do not care for the rear OF the cannon, or
the report Of the musket; We do not want
the horse race or anything else which shall
pander to the vicious tastes OF human na-
,ure; bot we do want q celebration the
tendency Of which shall be TO promote so
briefly, morality. good government, peace
and goodwill among men. Citizens Of
Ellsworth and OF Hancock Cousty. wheth'

Who are the True CouservatvesT

Who are the True Conservahvesr
II has been heretofore the fashion TO call
the Republican party radical. and the Dem
ocratic party conservative. The reverse Is
the truth. The Republican party came in
to existence as conservator for liberty.
1t was organized to resist the spread OF
slavery. IL did resist such spread, and
when the advocates Of slavery then NJ
tempted to disrupt the country, the Repuo-
lican party stood forth As the eonservstor
OF the Union. When. amer the war, at
tempts were made TO undo its results, the
Republican party was still the coaseryator
of those glorious results. Now, when At
tempts are being made to disbonor the na-
tons faith. and debase its currency, the
Republican party is found the conservator
OF both.
How different ID the record OF the Dem
cratic party. 1t first tried 20 subject the
territories to slavery. Fooled In that, II
was found symps,hizing with. and 10 the
South. promoting disunion. Fooled In
that, 1t assailed the fruits Of the war. II
has done all this. persistently and relent-
lessly.
For the last twenty years. the Democrat
ic party has catered 10 every element In
society. IL has shifted It's ground q, every
election /, has abandoned its principles.
aud put forth new articles OF faith as Of
ten as new notions were found to have any
following. Whenever any peril has men
aced the Nation, or peace OF society. that
party has never during that time been
found on the side Of country and la~. but
rather on the side OF disorder. During the
riots of last year, when millions OF prop
erty were destroyed by lawless villains,
Democratic conventions were passing res
olu,ions, not condemlatory. but rather
sympathetic. Democratic papers were at
trlbuting the horrid scenes to the tyranny
OF the Government. To-day, the Demo
cratic party is bent on cutting down the
Army, and destroying its power, and Dem
ocraiic Congressman are denouncinY the
presence OF the Army in quelling riots, and
saving life and property. They would re'
move every safeguard, and let anarchy
come.
When this notion arose OF making money
out of paper, and innic,ing on the coun'
try the woes of an irredeemsble currency.
Ii Was supposed tie Democratic party
would stand by Its traditions OF honest
money, but no, IL is everywhere surrender.

10 the new attack upon the national credit
The country must turn again to the Repub'
