Mr.. EDIroR:-When any political party has
become so reckless, so desperate, and has SO
little regard for what is in accordance with the
feelings OF civilized community, as to bring
Gen. Chalmers of the Fort Pillow Massacre
to teach and instruct them in regard to their
political rights and what pertains to a free
government, then it is time for the people to
rise IN their might. and teach that party les
son, which they never can forget. I remarked
to Democrat yesterday, that was surprised
that Chalmers was brought into Maine to en-
gage In this political campaign. His reply was
that sit was mistake;" but the people can
say 1t was an outrage, an insult to the intelli-
gent freemen of Maine, to have this man here
who was engaged in that battle and one of the
chief actors-as the history of the war will
ever'show.
The Fort Pillow Massacre was blot upon
humanity and will forever stand out in bold
relief in history side by side with the cruelties
of Missolonghi in the Greek Revolution. If one
Of the actors in the terrible atrocities at Fort
Pillow, come among us, one of the men, who
could participate in, and countenance the
murder in cold blood, of innocent women and
children, will the intelligent people of Maine
listen to- or for moment tolerate him? The
thought of the Fort Pillow Massacre causes
every feeling man to shudder, and intelligent
m en- become indignant, that anyone can so far
have forgotten the infamy to which he is con-
signed as an actor in that awful tragedy, as to
appear before them as political teacher and
instructor.
The political battle of freedom is to be
fought again upon the soil of Maine; the ewes
Of the whole country are u~on us-"as goes
Maine so goes the Union" The importance
of the contest now impending, in national
point of view, in our State cannot be over esti-
mated Will the people of this State counte-
nance the complete overthrow of the ballot in
Alabama as in the late election? or the dis
reimbursement of the negroes of the South?
Do the people of this State countenance the
outIages which have been inflicted upon white
and black in Mississippi, and other Southern
States for opinions sake. If not. let them say
to the South in thunder tones in the result of
the approaching election that the amend
ments to the Constitution are sound; that no
man over whom floats the stars and stripes,
citizen of the country claiming its protection,
shall ever be prosecuted for opinions sake;
that the elective franchise is sacred right,
which can never be taken from any man with
out the shedding blood, and the destruction of
of the liberties Of the country H,
