HOW DEMOCRATS LOOK At 1T.

We give down below some democratic
expressions of opinion touching the situa-
ton in Maine, and commend them to the
attention of The Watertown Democrat:
Governor Garcelon and his advisers
have made serious political and not
less serious moral mistake. They have
nullifed the will of the people of Maine,
as expressed at the latest election, on &C
count of technical errors and oversights.
These errors and oversights were commit
ted, not by the electors but by the local
canvassers. The votes were thrown out
on account of the informality in the man
ner in which they were returned. There
is no pretence that this informality was
such as to leave the intention of the vot-
ers in doubt. The tenor of all statutes
judicial decisions and treatises which deal
with elections in that every presumtion
should be made in favor of giving effect
to the real intention of the voters. The
canvassers in Maine have unquestionably
nullifed the real intention of the voters.
There is no lodging that fact, and with
fair minded people that fact will be de-

THE MAINE OUTRAGE.

Referring to the outrage committed in
Maine by Governor Garcelon and his in
famous conspirators, The Democrat gives
in its approval and says:
That is right, Mr.. Republican. Now give us
your opinion of the peculiar transaction in 1876
by when clear majority for S. J. Tilden was
hocus Focused into one for K. b. Hayes. Speak
Eight out Mr.. Republican, and don't be afraid.
Can it be possible that The Democrat
is so stupid as to see no difference in the
two cases here presented? President
Hayes holds his office in pursuance of
law. Indeed, no president ever had a
better or clearer title The action of the
Louisiana, South Carolina and Florida
returning boards was in strict compliance
with law They did not exceed a single
one of their powers. But over and above
this the electoral commission, which was
the final arbiter, was the creature of con-
gressional law, and democrats and repub-
hcans agreed to submit the case to it for
decision. 1t is too late now for either
party to "squeaP' or lind fault. We ad-
nit that The Democrat and its party
were disappointed, for they supposed
they had a packed jury and were sure of
finding for Tilden, otherwise they never
would have agreed to that plan of settle
ment. But Judge Davis did not get up
ON the commission as they supposed he
would, and when the vote was finally
taken they were counted out. In Maine
there is not the semblance of right or law
In the doings of Governor Garcelon and
his crowd, nor the least analogy to the
case of the presidency which The Demo
crat tries to lug in and quote as a wrong
by the republican party in 1876 which
shall justify a greater democratic wrong
in 1879.

For the thousandth time we ask: if the union
is really restored why should not a southern
member of congress work for the interests of his
constituents as well as northern member. We
are disguised with the republican cant about
northern loyalty and southern sectionalism 'Let
us have peace. "-De1nOcrdt.
And for the thousandth time we ask is
the union Greatly restored?" Is not the
south ripe for another rebellion just so
soon as there is any promise that it may
be successful Are not the rebels kept
under subsection now through fear sof,
rather than love for, the north? Are
they not just as reasonable in their talk
as they ever were, and are they not CIV
ing proofs daily of their disloyalty? Of
course we are speaking now of the demo-
cratic politicians who are in the supre-
macy there and whothrough their shotgun
arguments have everything their own
way. However, The Democrat can
not be expected to talk otherwise than it
does. The only mistake it makes is in
not transferring itself bag and baggage
to the south where it would. be more at
home and find greater sympathy for its
disloyal utterances then they receive
here in the north.

AT the recent election in Louisiana,
the parish of Lincoln cast one republican
vote. In 1876 the republican ticket re
ceived 391 votes. Does The Waterto wn
Democrat really believe that this was an
honest expression of the voters there?
Now, let us have no beating about the
bush, no equivocation, no nonsense, but
fair and square answer. If you believe
that this result was reached without any
intemidation, or bulldozing, and on an
honest count, without any stuffing of the
ballot boxes, say SO, if not, be equally
candid and admit that fact. We want
to know exactly how much honesty or in
telligence to credit you with, and this is
the test we propose to try you by.

GOVERNOR Garcelon of Maine having
established his claim to democratic sup
port and confidence is already spoken of
as a suitable candidate on their presiden-
tial ticket. Bayard and Garcelon are the
names proposed by one paper we see, but
The New York Tribune suggests that
Garcelon and Barksdale would makeia
more appropriate ticket, for between the
latter's shotgun and the formers patent

The american Reprint Of The En-
cyclOpediU Britannica
We wish to call the attention of the readers
and thinkers of our city to this grand work. Ne
work of its kind stands higher in the estimation
of scholars than the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Its great cost was the only hindrance to its gene
raj use. American readers generally could not
afford to pay ten dollars per volume for twenty
one volumes. And until the work was reprinted
in the United States we were obliged to content
ourselves with its possession in few of our lead
ing libraries.
The work is now furnished in the American Re-
print at about half its original cost and per.
feet in all its parts, every word cut, illustration
map and plate being honestly and faithfully re-
produced.
Letters like the following show what the lead
ing men of the age think of this great work.
Letter from Prof. Darid Suing of Chicago.
The American Reprint of Fhe Encyclopedia

The Encyclopedia Britannica is, outside
the Bible the most valuable work in the English
language, It's articles bring down all scientific
and other discoveries to the date of their issue.
SO that the general reader who wishes to know
what has been discovered on any matter has on
lyt O refer to its pages. Through the enterprise
OF Messrs Stoddart, of Philadelphia, this great
work is being reprinted in our country, and sold
ut half the cost of the English edition. AS the
accuracy of the Reprint is guaranteed the pur-
chaser obtains for very small sum what is it
self perfect library. To buy abridged en-
cyclopedia, when one so copious and SO recent
can be had for nearly the same cost, is to show
ones self fit for the lunatic asylum.

Our friends in Maine must be aware
that the entire country is now watching
the course of events there. Several dem
ocratic papers have already criticised with
severity the action of the governor and
council. We have differed with them
! and defended the executive. But the
popular will can never be thwarted with
impunity, and the party that does that
invites, and will in the end be sure to re-
ceive, public reprobation. A general
charge of bribery and corruption on the
part of the republicans at the last cleo
ton, unless substantiated by better evil
dence than has yet been shown, will not
justify overriding what appears to have
boon the popular will.-Frone The Bos
