A Democratic Mass-Meeting.

CONGREssMEN LADD AND MURCH AT PORT
LANr-THE TENOR OF THEIR REMARKS.
PORTLAND, ME-, December 30.-An i'm
menSe audience assembled at the Democratic
mass. meeting tonight, the CITY Hall being
packed. There were many ladies in the
galleries. and q large number OF distin-
gui>hed Democrats upon the platform. sui
Ivan G. Andrews presided and opened the
meeting with brief speech, introducing
Congressman Ladd, who expressed his JOY
at seeing such an immense meeting TO cX-
anime the mOmcntOus affairs now agi-
tating this State. Men have spoken Of
arms, but he would remind them that he
i thrice armed who hath his quarre; Just.
Mr.. Laid argued at length, accusing
the Republicans Of corruption and fraud,
and Of having established precedents by
which they now lost control Of the Legis-
lature. He believed the Governor and
Council had couLted the returns right in
every case. If not, then the Legislature
could correct the mistakes and seat all its
members. Congressman Murch was the
next speaker. Referring to The removal OF
arms at Bangor, he said Colonel BOutele
had surrendered ADD tho ar,ns had gone
quietly to Augusta. lie believed the Gov
ernor and Council bad acted strictly in CON-
law. The Republicans, he said, are making
a great howl about the candidates who had
no doubt received a majority OF the votes,
but through the laundering OF their own
officials they have been counted out.
They have practiced the same thing
for years, and never counted out
their own men. He believed that
large majority Of the people Of Maine are
in accord with the Council In this matter.
and that there would be no violation OF law.
Hon. l.. ID. NJ. Sweat was next presented.
lie testified to the honesty, truth, and JUS
iice of Governor GarcelOn, and said he was
prepared to stand by HIM and the Council.
lie claimed that his party had been msun-
dersloOd He discussed the law points in
yOlved in detail, and held that the Legisla-
ture alone had the power to decide who was
elected To that body. The maintenance OF
the Constitution was at stake. Hon. L. NJ.
Fogg, Of the Governors Council, was the
next speaker. He said the Council may
have made some mistakes, but il he was 10
vote again he would vote the same as be-
fore, except in two cases-he would throw
out Auburn and Augusta.
A number of resolutions were adopted.
The first calls on every true and loyal
citizen to sustain the Governor and Council.
The second resolves that the votes having
been honestly canyassed in accordance with
the Constitution, law, and precedent, the
decisions are binding and TO he oDeyed by
all good citizens; demands that the Cover
nor suppress all disorders, and pledges sup
port 10 every measure necessary for that
purpose
The third condemns partisan utterances
in the pulpit as unmanly and uRchristian.
The fourth resolves that Illegal acts do
not become respectable on account Of age,
and opposes the following OF bad prece-
dents.

An Insuperable Difficulty {.

One reason why Governor GARCELON did
not wish 10 submit Mr.. MORRILL's questions
TO the decision of tie highest court in
Maine, was no doubt found jim the fact that
the court by deciding them could not bave
changed the results Of the election as al
ready declared officially by the Governor
and Council. For instance, let us suppose
that the court had decided that no candl-
date should be counted out because his
name was incorrectly spelled. Under that
decision, two men would be entitled to
seats i'm the Legislature who had been
counted out by the Governor and Council.
But the other two men have the certificates.
The sctioniof the Governor and Council is
final, and cannot be recOn>idered. That Is
matter for the Legislature to attend to
a wrong which can only be rcmedied by
that body.
A few years ago candidate for the House
OF Delegates in Augusta county, in Vir-
plnia, was by the returning officers declared
elected. His right 10 bis seat was contested
I'm due form. He tbereupon sent a letter oil
resignation 10 Governor KEMPER, who ac-
cepted Il, aud ordered new election. But
upon rcconsidcring the matterthe Governor
recalled the order, as he had no right TO de-
eide whether the contestant or the coniestec
was elected; and OF course II the latter had
not been eli eted, he could not resign, mas
much. as he had no right TO resign another
mans place. So ii Is in Maine. The men
who hold the certificates OF election might
ofierto resign but thea overnor would have
no right TO accept their designations. They
can't resign places belonging TO other men.
1t IL for the two houses Of the Legislature
themselves TO decide whether the contest
ants or the contestees are duly elected. III
the Governor were to accept the resigna'
lions OF the mcn holding the certificates,
that act would be recognition OF their
claim to haze been duly elected; and If
they were daily elected, he could not give
certificates 81 election TO the persons who
claim their seats. II he weretO do So his new
certificates would be nothing worth. They
would represent acts on bis part ultra rireS.
He exhausted his powers In the premises
when be grautcd certificates OF election TO
the men who now hold them. 1t would be
a blunder aud a new crime for him to at
tempt to recall those certificates and give
new ones.
On the wheie. we do not see that there Is
anything that can be dene in Maise except
TO await the action of the two houses of the
Legislature themselves. They hold the
.c,ew which win enable them to lead the
State out of the lahvmnth oiltrolble in
wv hich she finds herself.
