THE DEMOCRACY WAITING EOR
SOMETHING TO TERN UP—THE\
OLD-USERS UNDER A CLOUD.
The democratic convention at Portland
turned out to be s complete fmix pas. The j
delegates Assembled at this busy season of
the vear, losing valuable time and money, j
onlv to act a silly part in a programme pre
pared by Bion Bradbury & Co., and to turn
about and go home to be laughed at for |
this fruitless pilgrimage to the “natural
seaport.” There was considerable storm
ing and indignation in the convention, but ■
Bion held the ribbons and kicking and
plunging were ol no use: Ac had ordained
that there should be no nomination, and
the decree had to be obeyed whether dis
tent Aroostook and the hard fisted democ- j
racy who uieaut business liked it or not.
Bion has been quite anxious to turn the
democratic party to account; to take it into
the corn, coal, flour or liquor business,
providing he could see a chance for what
hecalls “success.” Like Wilkins Micawber
he has been waiting for something to turn
tip. Many conferences have been held
and much palaver had upon the subject,
but “success" has not appeared yet. Now
Bion is m the condition of Micawber as des- j
cribed in the following paragraph :
“ ‘You find us, Copperficld,' said Mr. Mi
cawber, with one eye on Traddles, ‘at present j
established, on what may be designated as a !
small and unassuming scale; but, you are ‘
aware that I have in the course of my career,
mrmonnted difficulties, and conquered obsta
cles. You are no stranger to the fact, that
there have been periods of my life that it has
bee* requisite that I should pause, until cer
tain expected events should turn up; when it;
has been necessary that I should fall hack, be- 1
fore making what 1 trust I shall not he accused
of presumption in terming—a spring. The
present is one oi those momentous stages in
the life of man. You find me, fallen hack.
for a spring; and l have every reason to be
lieve that a vigorous leap w ill shortly bo the
result.'”
He Has lalien duck tor a “spring, ami
a “vigorous leap'1 will probably be made
at Bangor that will astonish the “old
liners" more tliau the move at Portland.
A few pages farther on in the history of
Mieawber we learn what his vigorous leap
was to be. Listen to Mrs. Mieawber, and
mark how much her reasoning resembles
that of a Bion Bradbury democrat:
“ ‘The fart is, my dear Mr. Copperfield, that
we can not lire without something w idely dif
ferent from existing circumstances shortly
turning up. Now 1 am convinced, myself,
and thi* I have pointed out to Mr. Mieawber
several times of late, that things cannot be
expected to turn up of themselves. VVc must
in a measure, assist to turn them up. I may
may be wrong but I have formed that opinion.’
Both Traddles and 1 applauded it highly.
•Very well,’ said Mrs Mieawber. ‘Then
what do I recommend/ ‘Here is Mr. Micaw
ber with a variety of qualifications,—w ilh great
talent'—
‘Keally, tn&love,’ said Mr. Mieawber.
•Pray, my dear, allow me to conclude.
Here is Mr. Mieawber, with a variety of quali
fications, with great talent—1 should say, with
genius, but that may be the partiality of a
wife’—
Traddles and 1 both murmured ‘No.’
‘It appears to me, my dear Mr. Copperfield,’
said Mrs. Mieawber, forcibly, ‘that what Mr.
Micaber has to do is to throw down the gaunt
let to society, and say. ill effect, ‘Show me
who wiU take that up. Let the party imme
diately step forward.'
1 ventured to ask Mrs. Mieawber how this
was to be done.
‘By advertising sum .Mrs. .Macawber—in
all the papers.’
‘This idea of Mrs. Micawbcr’a ray dear Cop
perflold,’ said Mr. Micawbcr, making his shirt
collar meet in front of his chin, and giant-inn
at mo sideways, ‘i^n fact, the Leap to which
I alluded, when I fast had the pleasure of see
ing you.’”
Of course something must be done, tint
if a patty lias no principles why not adver
tise it for sale to the highest bidder. This
is Mr. Bradbury’s idea of the best way tc
manage the democratic party. The post
ponement of the convention was a cheat
upon the majority. Could the question
hare been fairly tested the vote against ad
journment to Bangor would have been
largely carried, hut those who wanted to
sell out the party sueeeded in delaying a
rote until many country delegates had left,
and then carried the convention by giving
no chauce for a fair expression. Thus tic
“truck and dicker” party won the day, am
went home rejoicing in their victory ovei
the “old-liners." Those who have soon
regard to principle, and who have borne
the organization through thick and thin
were crushed out hv fraud, and the party
stands advertised now to he sold at auc
tion (If anybody will bid) on the lfith day
of August next, at Bangor. Any promi
nent republican who can be found do for
swear the party with which he is connect
ed can have the nomination if lie will.
Thus reads the record of the Portland con
vention. Among the many disgraceful
acts which ihe party has done none seenn
to stamp it with greater infamy than this,
What kind of “success” it will have undei
such a coarse is not doubtful. Those dem
ocrats who have any honor will leave itf
ranks in disgust ami shame, and iti
numbers will be smaller than ever before
It will be obliged to make a nominntior
from its own ranks, or none. Lk-morali
zation will attend it In every town ant
district. General Smith who was entitle!
ho tb« nomination ami would have given i
some respectability, was thrust aside
slaughtered w ithout a hearing, and now
the party is waiting, at Mr. Bradbory'i
inotion, for something to tarn up. Win
hfrji t\jf the democratic party? Let us se<
what advertising will do.
LETTER FROM WALDOBORO'.
Waldoboro’i Me., ;tune, 2,th, 1870.
To the Editor of the-formal.
hnv» bees having equatorial beat here
| for the past few days, intact »o warm that one
'would feel comfortable even in a Imt bath.
Yet. although it i» extremely warm here dur
ing the middle part of the day, owing to Its
close proximity to the broad Atlantic, it cools
off perceptibly towards evening, and in the
evening one is not uncomfortable with a
heavy overcoat on. Along towards t o’clock
in the afternoon of each day the wind almost
invariably pulls round to the sonth’ard and ;
then we get a pretty stiff sea breeze, and by ,
this breeze and the tides vessels are enabled !
to reach our wharves, for steam tugs are
something unknown on these waters.
It is an odd place is this AA aldoboro , or if
not odd in itself, odd in its queer sounding
German-Dutch names. One has but to glance
nt a sign here to be puzzled. For instance,
who would pronounce the name AA inchenbach,
Winkerpawt Bui, so it is pronounced. If
me was asked to spell Coon, he or she would
spell it as 1 have written it; but that would
be a grievous error, huhn is the correct way.
And we find such names as Stahl, Hahn and .
Genthner; with the h silent you have the pro
nouneiation. But these names arc nowhere
:o some others. AA’e can get up integral parts ;
>( a bovine “Critter” with surnames. Anat- ■
jmically we have for him the following names : ■
[lead, Horn, Sides, Schenks, Hofses, and !
ast but not least, Umbtyhind; with a little j
itretch you can place the appendage. And
hen we have Sidensparker, Sidelinger, and
Mink. AY hat bashful lover but sparks side
vays.und what bravado but would give one n
sidelinger if provoked?
Hows used to be a common occurence here
in days gone by, “but times aint as they used
lo was.” and yet for all that we had a skirmish
here the other day. I am sorry to record it,
hut the battle came off between two brother*,
men who were old enough to do better, and
all about a line-fence. They pounded and
pummcled each other to their hearts content.
One with a black eye and swollen nose made
his appearance at a lawyer's office, and we
arc perhaps not speculating when we say he
may have come off second best.
A wedding took place here a short time
since. The boys, or outsiders, who hold forth
on such occasions, not believing in the worn
out custom of serenading with tin pans, tin
horns, kettles, gongs, &c., &c., got out a small
cannon and gave the happy couple a salute of
three guns. Tableau inside —fainting ladies
and startled gentlemen. This fun. however,
was put a stop to by the presence of an inter
ested party, and then all went merry as a
marriage hell.
Since the suppression of the liquor truffle
by the authorities, a drunken man is really a
rare sight, whilst heretofore three or four
drunken sots stretched out on the sidewalk in
a drunken sleep, was a common occurrence.
The I-odge of Good Templars, called th*
Woodbury Lodge in honor of a temperance
reformer and speaker, is an excellent institu
tion and has done and is doing much for the

LETTER FROM BOSTON.
The Beethoven Centennial—The Handel
and Haydn Society—Sew York Courtesy
— Warm Weather—The Rose Shoiv—
Heath of Mr. Valentine—Meeting on the
Common, tic., &e.
Bortox, June 25, 1870.
There seems to be a dearth of interesting
matter just now, the latest sensation, in the
form ol the Beethoven Centennial, having
i been fully canvassed in the papers by way of
gossip, controversy, and ridicule. The un
fortunate projectors of that enterprise have
failed in two things, viz: first, to outdo our
jubilee, second, to make it pay- It is bnt fair
to say, however, that the best musicians ol
New York had nothing whatever to do with
the affair, ami an ovation to Beethoven (a
name dear to all true lovers of music) was
not so much the object, as to make a grand
speculation, by using his name for a sign-board.
There was nothing during the whole festival
! to warrant the use of it, and it should nevei
have been connected witli it. Oration music
was set aside for Anvil Chorus, Star Spangled
, Banner and like music, all very well in its
' place, hut scarcely such music as Beethoven
' himself might have selected. Undoubtedly
the directors of the Centennial might have de
sired that their invited guests should be treat
ed with courtesy and respect, but many of the
New York chorists seemed disposed, ns I can
testify from personal observation, to throw
cold water upon the effort* of the Handel and
Haydn Society, and it was only hy the most
vigorous efforts on tiie part of the directors,
that they obtained their seats together in or
der to sing the first part of Mendelssohn’i
“Elijah.” One of the New York papers cami
out with an article, averring thut it could no
say much for the courtesy of Boston singers
who spent most of their time in criticism*
, New York Ringers and New York audiences
i l'crhaps Bostonians feci like returning the
; compliment. Taken all together, it was «
jumbled affair, without any system or arrange
ment whatever. Nome of the soloists would
sing without their pay in advance, and often
times the whole performance had to watt some
time in consequence, to the intense disgust ol
) the audiences. After a delay of some time,
in getting checks and money for Madame
Rosa, Miss Sterling, Mr. Whitney and Mr.
Castle, the performance of “Elijah” com
menced at a quarter before nine, by Boston
time, and this was the only performance—so
the Tribune asserted, that called out the elite
of the city,
1 I saw by tiie description of the Rink, in
' you Journal lust week, that a “monster cal
liope” was to play outside all the time. I did
not tee or hear the calliope while I was there
and I am inclined to think the managers had j
all they could do to pay for the music inside,
without affording an out-door concert.
Th« Handel and Haydn Society did not
fare to badly as the papers stated, however,
nwtay of them being very comfortable—sub
stitutes, and those who were more crowded,
feeling compensated for any little discom
forts by the pleasant acquaintances thus
formed. Mutual good feeling prevailed, ami
those who seem disposed to pity their terri
ble experiences, may expend it on more ap
preciative subjects.
This hot weather is driving people into the
country very fasf, and a great many houses
arc already closed, and the inmates making i
themselves comfortable on farms, among tho
mountains, and at fashionable 'watering
places. Torjee is going to the Adirondack*
witli Mr. Murray, and a writer in the Com
monwealth suggests that he may organize
black flies into a chorus. No doubt those
who contemplate a trip there this season
will he glad to have him do so.
The tempest of rain, hail, thunder and
lightning, which visited us last Monday, did
considerable damage, so thst the Hose Show
at Horticultural Hall, last evening, was not
so good as it has been previously, although j
it was well worth seeing, and there were quite
a number there to admire the flowers and
listen to music by the Germania band. The
strawberries were very tempting, and if there
were many present whe were trouhled witli
what is generally termed Cleptomania, they
must have been strongly tempted to secrete
and make off with a basket of the delicious
looking berries.
One of those sad railroad accidents occur
red yesterday morning, which are so signifi
cant when they happen to somo one we know.
Mr. Charles Valentine, Master of the Quincy
school, who has also been connected with our
schools for twenty-five years, was run over by
the cars at VVc6t Newton, and had both legs
crushed, so that amputation was necessary.
He only lived till four o'clock. He attempted
to get on the cars while they were in motion,
and a large basket which lie hail on his arm
prevented his doing anything to save himself.
He leaves a large circle of mourning relatives
and friends. His schools will be closed until ,
Monday.
The working women met on the common
last evening, where they had an express
wagon for a platform, nnd speeches were
made by John C. Cluer, Jennie Collins and
others, on the question of the evening, after
whieli Mrs. Gibson delivered a temperance
lecture. I presume it is safe to say—•'there
was a large and interesting audience,” al
though I was not there.
Yesterday was class day at Cambridge—
pleasant, but unusually sultry.
After a session of even longer than last
year, the Legislature adjourned on Wednes
day. Pkrsis. ,

The National Publishing Company have
issued in a good, stout volume, an account of
4‘Life in Utah, or the Mysteries and Crimes
of Mormonism.” The author of this is J. H.
Beadle, editor of the Salt Lake Reporter and
Utah correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial. The work not only gives an otft
side view of Utah, but it profesees to unveil
all the secrets of Mormonism. some of which
arc infamous enough, if this book be true,
•to consign the actors to penitentiaries. It
commences with the early life of Joseph
Smith, the first prophet and founder of the
sect, gives a full account of the settlement
at Nauvoo, the gxodus to Salt Lake, the
growth of the sect since, and goes on down to
the latest facts connected with the Mormons
that are of importance, even to their schisms,
their mysteries and their future prospects.
The work can only be had of an agent or by
addressing the publishers.

Banoor. June 28, 1870.
DfcAR Joins al : The exercises of the Ma
sonic celebration have passed off thus far very
pleasantly, fully up to the expectations of the
nost sanguine. The dedication services at
lie new Masonic Hall, by the Grand Lodge,
■ommcnced about Hi o'clock this forenoon.
At 12 o’clock a procession was formed, com
posed of the several commamlcries and lodges
^resent, interspersed with several hands of
Tiusie. The procession was formed near the
Bangor House and marched through some of
;he principal streets to the mammoth tent on
Lime street, where n bountiful collation was
partaken of by nearly 45000 Masons. An ad
Iress was made by M. W. Grand Master J. II.
Lvnde. Prayer was then offered by tlic
Grand Chaplain, when the collation was par
;aken of, followed by fine music by the Ban
gor Cornet Band. A very interesting and in
structive oration was then pronounced by
Hon. J. TI. Drummond of Portland. M. P. S.
Grand Commander of the Supreme Grand
Council of Masons. He gave a minute history
if Masonry id this section of the country from
lie earliest stages to the present time. He
<aid there are now lot working lodges in the
State, with a membership of between fourteen
md fifteen thousand ; that tor the last fifteen
fears Masonry has about doubled every five
rears. Then came a report from the chair
man of the Imilding committee of the new
Masonic Hall, Sir Jeremiah Fenno. From
this we learn that the entire cost of the struc
ture was 8450,000. of which sum $20,000 have
been raised by voluntary donations, averaging
|50 from each contributor. The remaining
810.(100 came from the funds of the several
lodges in the city. Next in order. Sir David
Barker, of Exeter, recited a quaint, original
poem entitled “The Sign of Distress.” This
was followed by an interesting speech by Sir
Chas. H. McLellan of Bath, 14. E. Grand
Commander of Maine, who was succeeded by
14. Hon. Moses Dodge of Portland, in one of
his witty and mirthful addresses. The fol
lowing well known speakers were then-An
nounced, who proceeded to address the vast
assembly : B. W. T. B. Simonton of Belfast,
Sir Stephen Berry of Portland. E. C. E. F.
Dillingham of Bangor, Sir Bcnj. Andrew* of
Portland, Sir Silas Alden of Bangor, M. W. 1
Past Grand “Master Hiram” Chase of Belfast,
and others. Sir A. D. Knight of Hallowed,
E. C. of Trinity Commanders- of Augusta, of
fered the following : -‘Free Masonry—a tree
of six thousand years'growth, whose branches
extend East. West, North and South, from
the centre to the circumference of the earth." i
Sir Ira B^rry of Portland Commandery, sang
a humorous and characteristic song which was
received with applause. Next in order was
the singing of the hymn “America,” by the
audience. Three cheers ior the city of Ban
gor and three for the Grand Master closed
the afternoon exercises, which lasted until 5
o'clock. M.
The Bath Times learnes that on Saturday
a small schooner, about 25 tons belonging in
Georgetown, was overtaken by a sudden
squall, to the south east of Seguin, capsized
and sunk. The crew fortunately escaped in
a dory. The name of the schooner was
“Zephie Todd." She was four years old.
and was owned sevfcn-eights by A. B. llowe
of Georgetown, who was in command, and
one-eighth by Chester M- Neal of Arrowsic.
She was vulued witli her outfit at $2,000.
The loss is a severe one to Bowe, who had
every dollar he was worth invested in the ves
sel.
The Trustee* ol'Bates College on Tuesday,
accepted a proposition of the Free Baptist
Education Society, which finally locates the
Free Baptist Theological School there in
connection with Bates College. A Batin, or
Preparatory School, to be called the Nichols
Batin School, in honor of Byman Nichols,
Esq., of Boston , is established. Kev. Charles
Malcom of Newport, R. I., was elected Pro
fessor of History in tlio College. Commence
ment took place yesterday.
A meeting of tBe stockholders of the E. &
N. A. Railway Co., commonly known as
Western extension, was held in St. John last
week. The directors congratulated the
stockholders on the success that lias attend
ed the building of the road, and upon the en
couraging prospects of its paying qualities as
shown by the receipts since it was open for
traffic. The receipts to May, 1870, wore
$30,717.04; and'the working expenses during
the same period $27,088.30.
The Portland Press says at Curtis’ ship
yard a vessel is being built of r>40 tons, 237
feet long, 30 foot beam and 17 feet deep.
She is to be double-decked and built of oak,
bark-rigged and cost $40,000. She will carry
locomotive and machinery for a Philadelphia
Company and lie owned by Messrs. B. J. Wil
lard, F. C4. Cummings, J. B. Curtis and oth
ers. She will be commanded by C'apt. Tuck
er and ready to be launched by the first of
September.
