lar with their Bibles and turn the leaves quite
rapidly to proof texts.
AS the late hours of evening drew on, guards
were stationed around the encampment, and at
the ringing of the bell all became quiet in and
around the tents.
This morning there are some indications of a
pleasant day.
At half-past the people gathered in the
grove for social worship. Waves of song float
up to heaven and pleasant sounds and scenes
render the air dreamy and delicious. To the
thoughtful heart the scene is well calculated to
stir the depths of feeling. Life in varied forms
is assembled here. Old men and women,
blooming youth and maidens, and the child of
tender years, just beginning the voyage of life,
all have sought this beautiful spot to adore
their Creator.
AT o'clock family worship was held in the
tents, and at half-past 10 Elder Farnsworth
spoke to the people upon the manner of seek
ing God, using Jer. xxx, II, 10, as a text
line main drift of his argument was to show
the Importance of an entire conservation to
God. He showed how "holy men, of old
sought God when they desired special blessings
-Neh. I, As; Dan. vi, 10, 8; Luke xviii, Ill.
Prayer was referred to as the great means to be
used in seeking the approval of high Heaven.
He closed with a stirring personal appeal.
Elder Farnsworth is very pleasing speaker
and one who impresses his audience with the
sacredness of the subjects upon which he treats.

Deluded Democrats i'm Esrb nm

What was supposed to have been Demo-
cratic caucus met at the town hall In Gorham
yesterday afternoon. About sixty were present
and everything worked like put up job on
the part of few who slightly inclined towards
greenbackism. Although Mr.. Chas. B. Merrill
made short speech it was evidently thought
that speech making would be disastrous to their
little game, that of making combination with
Observation-Disclosures, and so it was ruled out OF
order. Business was attended to. Everything
worked like charm. The name of Mr.. VIM.
Guptill, the Greenback nominee, was men
toned. Out of the whole number just fifty
one persona, who were said to have composed
the Greenback caucus, cast their noble (?) votes
for the man mentioned. The hard money
Democrats did not vote, but were of the opinion,
if they did not express it, of one of their num-
Der that they all acted like id fools. The
Greenbackers deluded the Democrats, and the
real Democrats feel sick,

A GreenbacIker in lS6S.

The Kennebec Journal in noticing the
efforts of the Belfast Age to represent that the
state expenditures for schools, agricultural
college, &C., have been extravagant and IN
called for, reminds Mr.. Rust, the editor, that
in 1868 he was member of the legislature,
and voted in favor of the Superior Court in
Cumberland county; in favor of the State
Board Of Education; in favor of an act in
creasing the amount OF money towns shall
raise for the support of common schools; in
favor OF Hebron Academy and for resolve in
favor of the State Agricultural College. The
Journal also reminds Mr.. Rust that during the
same session he made speech against limiting
the rate of interest, in which he said:
"The gentleman from Scarboro', Mr.. Gunni-
son. has reiterated the old stale cry of Capital
against labor, the rich against the poor This
cry was formerly potent in this state. 1t had
begotten jealousy and prejudice which had
led to the adoption of a state policy which
had kept Maine in the background. In the
name of the poor man he protested against the
everlasting cry of the rich expressing the poor.
Every man in the state that has any manhood,
detests it. He wants none Of your special
fav0rs because he is poor; none of your
cosSeting; none of your laws formed expressly
to take care of him. All he wants is equal
laws and equal rights. This cry of depressing
the poor has baen SO long used by demagogues,
that the people have come to regard it with
supreme contempt"
