"FrighteMing nvaIids.

The popular impression, strengthened by
some scientific opinions, that consumption
cannot be cured, has no doubt fastened the
death of many invalids, by depriving them OF
the consolation of hope. Persons afflicted with
pectoral disease should be supported by every
assurance of cure, not alarmed by the
gloomy, foreboding countenances of those
around For our part, we do not believe that
consumption is incurable, and let physicians
theorize as they will, we have mass of evil
dence to prove that persons having all the
symptoms of consumption, cough, deep,
bloody expectoration, pain and oppression,
sore throat, diarrh9a, night sweats, burning
fever. &C.. have been permanently cured by
cdr. Swayne's Compound Syrup of Wild
Cherry" This old standard remedy pre-
pared only by DIR. Swayne & Son, Philadel-
phia. Price 20 cents and 81, or six bottles
for 80. The large size is the most economi-
cal. Sold by all prominent druggists.

Democrats Opposed to the Steal.

The State House conspiracy is the all en-
crossing subject of conversation here, and
the leading men of all parties emphatically
denounce it as most diabolical larceny.
One of the forty-nne who manifested their
devotion to King Garcelon, by voting for him
at the last election, was to-day overheard to
remark: "This is intended to injure Blaine S
presidential prospects, but the fools will learn
that they have furnished his best boom. -
Another very intelligent democrat gave the
following expression of his views: mo par
ty can afford to sustain such outrageous
usurpation. The incentive is obviously de-
sire for reelection by the Council and State
officers, who, it is to be regretted were last
winter chosen to execute the laws of the
State. Not only duty, but policy, demands
that the democratic party openly and emphat-
ically express their disapproval of this wrong
and place the responsibility where it belongs.
upon the dozen cheap office holders, who most
unfortunately have had the power and the op.
portunity to make it possible for them to
draw one more years salary even though i,
cost us the defeat of the democratic candi,
date for President next year"

Capital to the cities. from the cities to the
towns the portentous news has been carried
and the people hardly believing their senses,
have become aware of the fact that their bal
lot, their dearest right, that right which is the
corner stone of our national freedom, has
been snatched from their grasp and made the
toy of a treacherous band of desperadoes.
They are coolly informed by the robber Re-
turning Board that twenty mine of their Rep
resentatives and eight of their Senators. who
were unquestionably elected by their ballots
are to step down and out, and their sacred
places occupied by the servie tools of the
coalition. Shall the people crouch and cover,
while these knaves are attempting the sub
version of their inalenable right of sufirager
Shall the loyal hosts of stalwart Maine stand
tamely bv and see the fires of liberty quench-
ed by these foolhardy men? Shall they stand
idly and witness the Inauguration of this
scheme which, if consummated will result in
the subversien and destruction of the State gov
eminent? Back from the rugged hills OF the
old Pine Tree State back from the Threats OF
injured thousands, clear and resonant, comes
the slogan cry of defiance No, never never
will we surrender! Never shall the heel OF
the democracy grind us to submisson IN
finchingly, unswervingly and indomitabiy
will we stand linked together in one solid
phaanx, for the common purpose of avertng
this audacious blow which has been aimed at
our civil liberties. With one terrible effort
we will snap asunder the manacles of tyranny
which have been forged for our oppression,
and the fair fame of our beloved State shall
again shine forth untarnished by this oppro-
brious burden of ignomy which the conspir-
ators have designed for us to bear. n.

The Masses i'm Earnest.

wish to inform you that the strong uncom-
promising position you take in the Journal is
very much admired, you cannot counsel re-
sistance too strongly, the masses are ahead of
our leaders, they must come up to the work,
any thought of letting the conspirators enjoy
the fruits of their nefarious steal is the purest
nonsense. No paper is so eagerly sought
after in this section as the Journal, all class
es, ministers, old men, business men, young
men, and even the women are very outspoken,
and declare that Davis must be inaugurated,
andthe Senators and Representatives elected,
must take their seats at all hazard. Our
ministers prayed from their pulpits yesterday
that this terrible attempt to subvert the will
of the people might come to naught. c.

IncOmprelIensible to Outsiders.

The Providence Journal says: 1.-The
Governor and Council rejected the returns
and made changes on purely technical
grounds, every one OF which returns could
have been corrected according to the uni
form practice by the State administrations
of all parties in the past, and according
to the precise directions of the statute.
The statute was set aside as unconstitu-
tional But the Supreme Court said that
the right of inspection, which is only val
liable as including the right of revi-
sion, is constitutional one. The statute
provides specifically forthe fact of reform
alton OF returns, as the constitution does
by implication. 1t will be curious to note
the reasons given by the Governor and
Council for their notification of "A law, and
their reversal of the will of the people
This, however, only theoretically, the mat.
ter is so plain that the outrage has been
already condemned and the perpetrators
thereof convicted by the general Judgment
Of the community. The more fully the
special facts are made known, the more
incomprehensibl does the action appear
unless it be classed in the category of the
deeds of the Mississippi democrats, who
make mo bones about it. but openly de.
clare their purpose to rule anyhow, and
by whatever means may be necessary"

UNFOLDING the Steal.

The conspirators made an endeayor last
night AT Granite Hall to cram the Great
Steal down the throats of the people
Garcelon was there, pillsbury was there
and Ladd was there. GarcelOn acted the
part OF injured innocence, and Pillsbury
and Ladd hurled denunciations at the men
who have the audaeity to raise their voices
against the crime of the Executive.
The language OF the conspirators, con
sidering the crime they have perpetrated,
was simply atrocious, and well calculated
to stir up the very strife which they harpcd
upon and denounced. Ii will require the
greatest patience on the part of a suffer
ing and wronged people to endure grace
fully such meetings to bolster up the
great outrage as that last night.
Evidently the crowd was not in sympa-
thy with the sentiments of the speakers.
The letter of Judge Rice was not an en-
dorsement of the count of the Governor
and Council, though intended to appear as
such. 1t only rehearsed the power Of the
Governor and Council begged charity for
their acts, and invoked the spirit OF peace
and Cancellation. Nowhere dos it en-
dorse the outrageous use they have made
of their power in counting out the repub-
lican majority in the Legislature. We
have not yet seen decent democrat that

The following is the full text of Mr.

THoNAsToN, Me-, Dec. Is, 1879.
To the Edito, of the Commercial:
A copy of the Commercial was shown me
to-day containing letter from an Augusta
correspondent stating that had given it as
my opinion that the Skowhegan vote could
legally be thrown out for want of some COM
pliance with the law on the ballot. This
statement is wholly incorrect / never con-
suited about the Skowhegan returns,
and ! did not know anything about it until
tonight Will you please make this correc-
ton in justice to me? | was asked while at
Augusta, the general question, without ref
erence to any particular town, whether the
Governor and Council could consider Il
violation of the statute, in the form or
color Of the ballot; and gare most emphot
&c negatire dnsirer. But did not know there
was any question about the Skowhegan
vote until | saw the statement in
the Commercial above referred to- | have
given no opinion concerning the power
ofthe Governor and Council over the returns.
except such as would be approved by all
sound lawyers, and as | am ready to maintain
elsewhere; and have uniformly and repeated
ly asserted it as my opinion that the Governor
and Council had no poacer to 90 into the pro
ceedings Of the meeting on election day, er-
eept as to the making and scaling Of the re-
turns IN open torn meeting.
Very truly, A. Z. GOULD.

A Democratic Proposition.

The Boston Post prints a communica-
ton from a leading democratic lawyer in
that city, in which he makes the following
suggestion to his democratic friends in
Maine:
each branch, when organized, and before
proceeding to any other business, should pass
upon the right of each member whose seat is
contested to his place, and determine who, if
any one is elected in each case of vacancy.
Let the Democrats, who have received certi-
ficates when they are plainly not elected be
voted out by democratic majority, and tie
republicans who were elected be voted in.
The uneected men who hold the certificates
should vote in body against their own right
TO seats. Whether the Democrats of
Maine will prove equal to this emergency re-
mains to be seen. They have an opportunity
to confer great benefit or infict great evil
upon the National Democratic party"

No Submission to the Wrong.

Higher, still higher the wave of Indignation
rolls Onward still onward flows the tide,
with momentum which, if unchecked, will
sweep Pillsbury, Garcelon, and their ignoble
elan into an abyss Of ruin little dreamed of
by them. From Quoddy-head to Kittery,
from Canada to the sea, the stentorian voice
of the people is heard denouncing in one
mighty avalanche of sound, this gigantic us
urpation which, like thunderbolt in a clear
sky, has been sprung upon them. From the
