The wailing cry faded away, and
there was no answer. Louder and

nearer came the train. The rising moon

venture on the bridge when the train

And now delirium seized me. fancied
some giant fiend held down the plank
which I vainly tried to wrench from its
firm position-I could hear the chuckle
of satisfaction that it gave to think it
had me there so safely in its power.
The loud roar that now reached my
ear announced that the train had struck
the bridge-there came IA end to hope
no power could avert the death that
stared me in the face! For an instant I
saw countless demons lowering through

through my imprisoned limb, and all

Notice to Democrats to Mind their

Gradually il dawns upon the minds of the
few meddliug democrats who thought to take
command of their own party and the Green

determined to manage their own affairs. We

mains now to say that they have only to re-
tire entirely from view to restore harmony

Of this State. If they knew any way to convert
republicans from the error Of their ways 1t is
in order for them to pursue the work with

vcrted back to the old camp. and it is nee

Situation in Virginia.

is no peace possible between the Funders aud

the Conservatives. The endorsement of
Hancock was in reality designed only to hold

Virginia, who have not quite outgrown their

clare, so bitter is the quarrel between the

LETTER FROM j. II. MANLEY.

Saturdays Portland Advertiser contained
the following letter:
To the Editor of the -4dre,tiser:
In your paper of Yesterday l read letter
upon the MAINE Senatorshp.' from the
New York Herald, in which some reference
is made to myself. I am there accused of
charging Mr. Hale with defeating Mr. Blaine
at Chicago, because he lost his head, and it is
also alleged that am opposed to his election
as United States Senator, and it then states,
"Mr. Manley is one of Blanes chosen
leutenants, and when he speaks it is by au-
thoritv." Some of these statements are so
silly that they carried their own refutation
with them. | never heard any man charge
Mr. Hale with losing his head. Most GER
tainly never did. for he is the coolest man
under all circumstances | ever saw. never
for moment thought that Maine could have
done anything else than cast her vote for
General Garfield when she did. because In
diana. Iowa and Kansas, all strong Blaine
States. had voted for Garfield when the
call of Maine was reached on the 36th
ballot. | have, however, 5eiiered that
had Mr.. Baine's friends who voted for him
on the first ballot adhered to him with the
same pertinacity that Gen. Grants followers
voted for him. Mr.. Blaine would have been
nominated. nut III was the OPINION OF Hon.
Edward Mcpherson and others. strong friends
of Senator Blaine, who advised Mr.. Hale to
cast the vote of Maine for Gen. Garfield.
that if Gen. Garfield. was not nominated on
the 36th ballot Gen. Grant would have been
on the 37th. ! was not in the convention at
the time the ballot was cast. but approved of
it to Mr.. Hale and | learn that no delegate
from Maine objected
When this article accuses me as speaking
by authority of Mr.. Blaine upon any subject
it asserts an absolute and unqualified false
hood | never heard Senator Blaine express
any opinion upon the action of the Chicago
convention. or upon the question of Mr..
Hamlin's successor in the United States Sem
ate. On the latter que stion presume Sem
ator Blaine is wise enough to know that its
settlement belongs first to the people. and
next to the Legislature. and that of choice as
well as necessity he will leave it there | do
not speak for him upon any subject What
