MAINE.
"Have you heard the news from Maine?"
The great northeastern State,
Which opens into Yankee-land,
A mighty granite gate.
There treason hoped to rule,
And there it writhes in pain ;
But they've turned the tide to the other side j
Hurrah for the news from Maine !
"Have you heard the news from Maine?"
'Tis a question old you know ;
They asked it ere the boys were born,
Some thirty years ago.
It meant that men had heard
Of overwhelming gain ;
And for me and you it still is tme;
We have heard the news from Maine.
"Have you heard the news from Maine?"
" Do you hear the shouts afar?"
We have gained the second victory
In slavery's second war,
And wej shall hear those shout.-!
Again, and yet again.
Cheer, voice and hand, thro' all the land ;
We have heard the news from Maine.
" Have you heard the news from Maine?',
In the main she's always right,
And what she is she'll remain,
In every coming fight.
Pass, pa.s the word around !
And thunder out the strain !
We've won at a bound the second round!
Hurrah for the news from Maine !
Mixed Up.
A letter from Horatio Seymour to C.
W. Ipgersoll, of New Haven, Conn., has
found its way into print, in wh:;h the
writer says :
"I see the Republicans arc trying to
dodge the financial issues, and to sink the
election into a mere personal contest.
Our papers must not allow this. They
must push the debt and taxation upon
public attention."
Whatever the Republicans may be do
ing, the Democrats can hardly afford to
make their fiuancial policy very promi
nent, at least until they reduce it to some
degree of consistency.
The Massachusetts Democrats have just
declared themselves as follows :
"Resolved, That gold and silver coin is
the only constitutional legal tender, and
while we would have but one currency
for all, the Demorcacy of Massachusetts
now, as in the past, arc true to their old
faith in hard money, and demand that it
be restored to the people at the earliest
moment consistent with the interest of
the business and labor of the country."
On the other hand the New York State
Democratic Convention resolved :
'That the payment ofthe public obliga
tions in strict accordance with their terms
in gold only, when gold is nominated in
the bonds, and in the lawful currency of
the country, when coin 13 not specified.
Strange to say, the candidate whom
these jrreenbaek New Yorkers have nom
inatcd for Governor, said in a speech in
January last :
"We do not propose I do not at least
to discuss the question of the National
debt. I simply say this to place myself
right upon record. I declare the honor,
the good faith of the country is pledged,
every right arm of labor is pledged to the
payment of every dollar of the National
debt, honestly and fully, not only accord
ing to the letter, but according to the
spirit of the bond."
In view of theso facts, the New York
World does not agree with Mr. Seymour
on the pre-eminence of financial questions.
It says :
'T he great dividing line between the
two political parties is the reconstruction
question. No citizen who detests the rad
ical policy of reconstruction will be deter
red f rom voting for the Democratic can
didates by his dislike of greenbacks : nor,
on the other hand, will any citizen who
accepts the Radical policy be enticed into
the Democratic party by his belief that
the five-twenty bonds are payable in law
ful money."
Tho question still remains. Have the
Democrats a financial policy, and if so,
what is it ?
fSrThe following letter was actually
written by a Maine Democrat :

Adjustment of Taxation.
The fourth demand of the Democratic
National Platform is expressed in the fol
lowing words :
u Equal Taxation of every species of
property, according to its real value, in-
eluding Government Bonds, and other
public securities."
Ihe Democracy insist on "equal taxa
tion." On the other hand the llenubli-
cans have legislated whole scries of sharp
discriminations designed to impose the
largest ratable share of the public burdens
upon the opulent, thus relieving numerous
classes icho have about as much as they
can do to take suitable care of themselves,
their tcives and their little ones. This
will be understood by examining the ex
isting adjustment of direct National Tax
es. All branches of industry, except those:
which produce articles of luxury, are ex
empted from taxation. The Democracy
wants taxation equalized by taxing all
branches of industry.
Farmers, mechauics, miners and manu
facturers, pay no taxes upon their busi
ness, beyoud the paltry sums exacted from
a portion of them for liceuscs. Democra
cy would tax all of these to equalize taxa
tion. Farms, shops, factories, stores and hou
ses, make no contribution to the National
Treasury, Democracy demands that
these be taxed, so that taxation may be e
qualised. All household goods, except pianos and
- silver-ware, over forty ounces for each
family, go untaxed. Democracy would
equalize taxation, by taxing all household :
Carriages used for pleasure and gold
watches are assessed, while other vehicles
and watches are not. Democracy de
mands the equalization of taxatiou by as
sessing all kinds of vehicles and watches.
All yearly incomes which amount to
above one thousand dollars, are taxed, but
all under that sum are untouched. And
it may be further stated that the Federal
Government has, from the beginning, stea
dily taxed the income derived from inter
est upon its bonds, from interest on all
private securities, just as income from any
other source. The bondholder pays five
per cent, on all his gains, exactly as does
the manufacturer, the merchant, the bank
er and the lawyer.
Hut the Democracy, if they get control
of the Government, propose to uproot
these discriminations.
They propose to assess farms, tenements
shops, factories, and all articles of person
al property equally, according to their
value.
They propose to assess the poor man's
silver watch in proportion to the rich
man's gold and jewelled one.
They propose to tax the poor woman's
dozen of silver tea spoons in proportion to
the abundant plate with which the mil
lionaire garnishes his mahogany.
They propose to tax the poor person's
bed in proportion to the rich mau's piano.
Which scheme of taxation do the peo
ple prefer? That which has been adjus
ted by the Republicans, or that which the
Democracy propose ?
Under the existing system the poor
man is entirely exempt. Under that
which the Democracy would inaugurate,
the property of every man, no matter what
may be his resources, is to be "equally
taxed according to its real value."
JGtiT'The New York World has engaged
some sapient military critic to write dowu
General Grant, and prove what a poor
soldier and wicked butcher he was. The
Philadelphia Jost't military man comes
to the assistance of the World, and with
pungent wit tells how General Grant
should have done it, as follows :
"He ought to have formed a brigade
line of regimental columns, doubled on
the center ; then moved by parallel regi
mental columns right in front; spent six
months in semi oblique, front face, left
wheel in front of a wooden caunon : then
marched up the Peninsula, eyes front and
toes turned out, to the Chickahoniiuy ;
then laid backs dawn, eyes closed, and
heels turned up, for two months, in the
mud, and then retreated, right oblique,
bair on end, and coat tails flying, on the
road he came. This is the way McClcl-
Jan aid. ana lie vraa a

that Crant won all the battles and sup
pressed the rebellion by trausjrrcssm;;
theso time-honored rules, and we hope
the American people will punish hitn for
it next November.

arc sometimes fired for the purpose of rais

tThe Philadelphia Post 8ays :-
"The reason why Southern Republicans
are called carpet baggers, is to distinguish
them from Democrats, who generally car
ry theirclothes in a red handkerchief."

GENERAL DIX.
He Indorses General Grant and Denoun
ces the Democratic Candidates and
Policy.
General Dix, the American Minister
to Paris, has sent the following letter to
a frieud in New York. It was not writ
ten for publication, but the gentleman to
whom it was addressed has consented to
give it to the public :
Paris, Sept. 4, 180S. My Dear Sir :
It was my hope that my distance from
home would have saved me from all par
ticipation in the political excitement pre
vailing there. Rut I notice in one ofthe
newspapers that 1 am heart and hand with
31 r. Seymour. I am not aware of any
thing in the present or the
past which could rightfully subject me
to such an imputation.
I have been acquainted with Mr. Sey
mour more than a quarter of a century.
He is an amiable gentleman, of unexcep
tionable private character, and respecta
ble talents. Rut you know as well as I
that he has not a single qualification for
the successful execution of the high of
ficial trust to which he has been nomina
ted, and he is especially deficient in that
firmness of purpose which in critical em
ergencies is the only safeguard against
public disorder and calamity. lie has
been twice at different times Governor of
the State of New York, and has in neither
case had the talent or the tact to keep the
Democratic party ofthe State together
more than two years. I should regard
his election at this juncture, when stead
iness of purpose, decision and self control
are so much needed, as one of the great
est calamities that could befall the coun
try. Moreover, he has been put in nom
ination by a Convention which has open
ly declared the purpose of those it repre
sents to pay the greater part ofthe pub
lic debt, contracted to preserve the Union
in depreciated paper.
Such a measure would, in my judg
ment, be a palpable violation of the pub
lic faith, pledged under circumstances
which should have been binding on all
honorable men. Mr. Seymour has made
public speeches to show that it is our du
ty to pay the debt in specie. In accept
ing his nomination to the Presidency he
adopts the declaration that it ought to be
paid in paper. I know nothing so hu
miliating in the history of American poli
tics a3 this tergiversation. It was, per
haps, not unfit that Mr. Seymour, after
presiding in 18G4 over the Chicago Con
vention, which declared the war a failure,
should preside over the Convention of
1808, in which a proposition to discredit
the debt contracted to carry on the war
was received with "tremendous cheering,"
and that he should be the chosen instru
ment to execute this act of national tur
pitude.
I do not believe that the wishes or
opinions of the great body of the Demo
cratic party are fairly expressed in these
proceedings. They have nothing in com
mon with the statesmanlike views of pol
icy and the high sense of national honor
which guided the party when Martin
an Rurcn, Yv ilham Jj. Marcy, bihis
Wright, Lewis Cass and Stephen A.
Donglas were among its most conspicuous
members. I see but one source of safety
for the country under existing circum
stances, and that is the election ot Gen
eral Grant. On his decision of character,
good sense, moderation and disinterested
patriotism, I believe the South will have
far better hope of regaining the posi
tion in the Union to which it is entitled,
than under a man whose political career
has been in nothing more conspicuously
marked than iu an utter inSrimity of pur
pose.
Independently of all these considera
tions, I should be greatly surprised if
the people of the United States were to
elect as their Chief Magistrate a man who
was making, at the Academy of Music.
on the 4th f July, 1SG3, a speech defi
cient iu all the characteristics of an ele
vated lovo of country, at the very hour
when General Grant was carrying the
victorious arms of the Union into Yicks-
burg, and wheu thousauds cf our fallen
countrymen were pouring out their blood
on the plains of Gettysburg, in defense
of their homes and the government, which
Mr. Seymour was doing all in his power
to embarrass and discredit.
I am quite willing that yoa should
show this letter to any Iriends who may
take an interest in my opiuiou in regard
to the coming election, aud I am parti
cularly desirous cf removing the impres
sion, if it exists, that I am iu favor of
Mr. Seymour, or tha repudiation of any
portion of tho public debt.
I
am,
dear sir, very truly yours,
JOHN A. DIN.
Tho Pittsburg iW, a leading Demo
cratic organ, boasts that its party has
plenty of uiouey to expend this campaign.
In its issue of August 30th, it fays:
"There is no trouble about tho money
this year with the Democrats ; there is
lashins of it and why not ? The Demo
crats stayed at homo during the war,
and got tho mule and other late contracts,
while the Republicans were getting kill
ed! the army. That's what's tho mat
ter." Prank Rlair's love for the Irish, whom
he calls "Finnegaus," is no less than the
respect which he evidently entertains for
tho Germaus. lie was fond referring to
Gen. Fremont's staQ ofliccrs as "a pack
of d-d Dutch."
Gen. rhillip Sheridan has recently
written a letter to a New York friend
from which the TriJune publishes tha
following extract : '
"It is, perhaps, needless forme to tell
you how light my heart is on account of
the glorious record, in front of which
General Grant now stands before tho
country.
"The country now begins to appreciate
that his was the only hand which pat
ted me on the shoulder and gave me air
encouragement, when I, almost alone;-
stuck up my little battle flag at New
Or-
leans, to assist a second time in
savmsr-
the country and preserving the record ot
our soldiers. Had Grant, Sherman andr
myself, and all others gone over to the
enemy, much darkness would have eoma
upon the laud.'
"Two solutions were necessary for tha
settlement of the rebellion. The first
was to take away from it its military
strength. That was done at Appomat
tox. The second to take away its positi--cal
strength. That will be done next
November. It will be a short campaign
but as decisive as Appomattox."
Kentucky.
In a private letter to the editor of this'
paper, from a prominent Republican of
Keutucky, the writer says : "If Sey
mour is elected hundreds of Union men'
will have to leave Kentucky and find
homes elsewhere. I speak advisedly.
For God's sake fight hard and win if you
can. It is our ouly salvation."
Citizens of Indiana, remember that tha
J fate and future ofthe faithful, persecuted.
Union men of the South depends on tho
elections of 1863. They fought to save
us from rebel invasion, and suffered losses
that would havo fallen on you but for
their patriotic sacrifices when the enemy
was threatening your homes. Shall they
now be delivered up to plunder and ban
ishment by your votes ? A rousing ma
jority for the Republican ticket in Octo
ber will cheer them as Union victories in
the field used to rejoice the heart, andi
will deter their enemies from the commis
sion of the outrages caw threatened.
Indianapolis Journal.
The Vincland Democrat has hauled
down the Rebel colors, and in its last is
sue (Sept. 19) comes out flying with the
names of Grant and Colfax and the whole
Republican ticket at the head of its edi
torial columns. The editor, A. G. War
ner, gives in his "Explanatory" six rea
sons for so doing, and which, no doubtr
to the Democratic party are satisfactory..
The first reason given by him is, "Re
cause we had a mind to do it." His
third, "Recause if the Democratic ticket
is elected, the Democratic party is de
feated." His last and decidedly the best
reason, though the unkindest cut of all,
is, "0. We felt unwilling to furnish a free
literature to a party that could not read."
David R arry, an Irishman of Cleve
land, publishes a card, in which, refer
ring to Rlair's St. Louis "Finncgan"
speech, he says he "would a3 soon vote
for that arch traitor, JeS". Davis, or Ren
jamin Disraeli of England, as for a man
who could so heartlessly trifle with the
most cherished feelings of our race."
He then adds : "The Irishman who can
tamely swallow down such an insult tO!
his country and her heroic efforts to bo
free, without resenting it at the ballot
box next November, is destitute of alt
public spirit, dead to the claims and suf
ferings of his motherland, and is any--thing
but an honor to that proud, de
fiant, sensitive old race whence he
sprung." 4 3
Gen. Robert E. Lee coolly says that"
the only way to have peace is to let what
he calls the "Southern people" that is
to say the "Southern Democratic party
rule as they did before the war, and trust
to " them to "treat with humanity and;
kindness" their political oppoueut, the
Southern Republicans, whom he will not
even allow to be a part of the Southern?
people.
The Democrats are smuggling rebelj
from Maryland into Pennsylvania. It
is not the first time the rebels have trie!
to capture our State. In this attempt
they will meet with a second Gettysburg.
The Carlinville (111.) Democrat says
that at a recent Democratic rally in that
neighborhood the procession was twelve
hours passing a point. said point being
a corner grog shop.
"Seymour has a policy." He may
have a "policy," but he has no patriot
ism. If he had, he would not boast thatho
never loaned the Government a dollar to
carry on the war.
It is reported from New Orleans that
Gen. Hancock has written a letter to &
personal friend iu New Or'eans, that "Sey
mour and Rlair have not tho ghost of a
chance."
