To the Editor of the KeaneJec Journal:


The experience of the last two years has
demonstrated to the republicans of Aroostoof
the necessity of having in this county an able
and reliable republican newspaper. The uni


form success of the party during the fourteen
years the Sunrise was under the management


of its founder, the disaster which followed Its


management by other parties for the two
years previous to the present and the mel
| gain of 1856 votes for the republican candi-
dates this year, after its having been under
the control of its former editor for three
months, proves the necessity of a republican
paper in this county, to ensure the welfare
and success of republican principles.
The republican ma iority in the county,
outside of the French towns and plantations,
which are hopelessly democratic, is about
255, and including those towns the republi-
cans have made within A. votes of our pro-
portion of the republican gain of l2,975 votes
Aroostook have become fully convinced that
il is for the interest not only of this county,
but of the State that we have strong, relia-
BILE, energetic and enterprising republican
newspaper, conducted with marked ability, at
some central point in this county, and are
prepared to give such a one an earnest and
generous support.


The very important election which is TO
rapJorc IL tb "A
such paper be establishedat once.


The amendment of the constitution adopted
at the last election, provides that the Legis-
ature elect shall make all necessary altera-
tons in the choice of county officers, and no
doubt all county officers will be chosen at the
next September election, and every true re-
publican will at once see the importance of
that election. 1t is important that the old
worn out theories of democracy and the
loose communistic vagaries and talacies of
greenbackism, be silenced and buried forev-
er; that we hear no more of States independ-
| ent of, and greater than the American Union !;
| or the disfranchsement of American cti-
| zens, of fiat money, and of the reputation
of public indebtedness and obligation; but
on the contrary that every citizen, however
humble, be protected in the enjoyment of his
civil and political rights in every State, coun-
ty, town and hamlet over which floats the flag
of our Union.


This enterprise is not only demanded by
the public good, but born newspaper man
may make it financial success. The next
canvass will show population of more than
80 900, probably of nearly 10000 in this
county.


Our population is. rapidly increasing by
immigration and with it our wealth. The
publisher of the Sunrise made it a success
when at first there was not over half the
number of people or wealth that there is
now


As have already said the republicans of
the county are ready and anxious to give Il


live republican paper a generous support.


The special inducements which will be Of
fered to the right man who will engage in the
enterprise, may be learned by visiting Presque
Isle, or by addressing through the mails Dan
iel Stickney, at that place.

The performance of the Pinafore Com
pany last evening was witnessed by an
audience of about five hundred. The
manner in which the play was put up
on the stage was attractive and for
such young artists simply astonishing.
The parts taken by the youthful peo-
pie were assumed with an apt tude
that impressed the audience greatly,
and the efforts OF the leading perform
ers were particularly noticeable. A
number of boquets were thrown upon
the stage from the audience curing
the evening. Those in attehdanc1
were delighted with the play and gave
vent to their appreciation by prolong
ed applause. The entire troupe mum,
bering about eighty, came from Phila

drilled. Those who failed to witness
this extraordinary performance will

The flag of the United States-the Stars
and Stripes-which led our "boys in blue"
to victory over rebellion, can be found
quite as numerous in any foreign country
as in Virginia, and is much more respected
wherever it is unfurled in the Old World
than it is on the sacred soil of the mother
of Presidents This seems rather strange,
but it isquite as true as strange. 1t will
be recollected that when Norfolk COM
pany ofcitizen soldiery, some months since,
made visit to our city, without the cover
or protection Of the National flag, it ex-
cited some little excitement When the
company paraded our streets without the
old flag, that remarkable fact attracted
some attention and remark, and the result
was that popular feeling sprung mp
among the loyal people of this city that the
visiting company found it expedient to
placate by marching to the steamer when
they were ready to return to their homes,
with the old flag kissing the breeze above
their ranks


This circumstance is called to mind by n
recent occurrence. The Winchester Light
Infantry, u citizens corps of gray coats who
reside at Winchester, Va, arrived in this
city on Thursday ca route for the AleXan-
dria fair, and having no National banner,
and the reasonable inference being that none
could bo obtained datWinchester, the company
came without one. Its members undoubt-
edly called to mind the circumstances at
tending the Norfolk company, and regard
ing the National Capital as not very fl-
yorable place to appear without the National
flag, they telegraphed for one TO be provided
them on their arrival at the depot. This
was furnished uniurled and borne through
the town above the company as it passed
| on to Alexandria. 1t seems to have been
adopted as sort of flag of truce or protec-
tion against popular feeling while in trdnsitu
for the sacred soil.


The circumstance is notable-inasmuch
ms it evidences the flct that the Virginia
military which come from the people there
have no use for the National emblem for
home display, and it is only resorted to here
as a protection against the loyal sentiment
which still resides to some extent ut the

originating in Virginia, may be regarded as
of trivial Importance but there are volumes
in them. They show that very little, if any

therefore suggest to that State that it can
make no better investment than to expent
somewhat largely of its financial resources
in National flags, to float from every public
building even to the common school-hOuse:

THE "FLATULENT FOOLS who controlled
