To which shall we Gravitate ?
Said a prominent Democratic editor to us a
few days since, “All jMilitical opinions and
practices are tending to extremes; either to
extreme abolitionism or to extreme pro-sla
veryism: to the doctrines and logical sequen
ces of Wendell Phillips or to those of Jeff.
Daviswho is presumed to recognize the di
vinity of slavery. He further remarked that,
as between these “radical extremes” lie “could
find no neutral ground—no midiUe-groimd on
which to stand and make fight.”
There is, perhaps, truth in this idea Transi
tion is the order of the day. Opinions no long
er remain stationary. Men who have been
neutral heretofore are beginning to take sides
on the slavery question, and w ill soon be pre
pared to tight on one side or the other in the
great warfare that is now taking hold of the
social organism of society. Without pretend
ing to endorse the idea of our democratic friend
in its fullness, we were curious to know which
way Ac would gravitate. We pressed the ques
tion upon him,—his own statement being ad
mitted, that we weie all tending to one or the
other of the extremes mentioned,—towards
which extreme lie would most willingly and
most naturally drill, liis answer was far less
uucquivocal than had been liis statement,
though we Dud liis paper drilling in any other
direction rather than towards universal free
dom.
Now if it be true that we have got to stand
on the ground of extreme abolition or extreme
pro-slavery,—oil the general doctrines of Wen
dell Phillips or those of Jeff. Davis, then we
ask not a moment for debate. The decision is
ready ionned. Both ideas, taken in their ex
treme, radical, unqualitied extent, are perhaps
impracticable, at any rate, are so for immedi
ate purposes;—but still, we infinitely prefer an
Impracticable truth to an impracticable false,
hood ; and slavery, in a free government, and
mixed up with tree institutions,is a falsehood—
the great practical and living LIE of the age.
It has with much truth been said that the
social svcTotn nf The South is on triI The
jury are now out upon the question. The ar
guments have been heard—heard in the loud
tones of the camion and in the groans of the
dying, occasioned hy a fratricidal war for
w hich slavery is responsible. Slavery has been
allowed a fair bearing; it has been for genera
tions on its good behavior, and it has fully
proved to the satisfaction of most minds, that
it is an unsafe.and an extremely dangerous ele
ment in a civil government; that it is the ene
my of all true liberty, the antagonism of equal
rights and human equality, and totally incom
patible with all true democracy, it has raised
its assassin kuife to slab the heart of the na
tion; it has sought to apply the incendiary
torch to the proudest temple ever yet dedi
cated to liberty. For these and kindred crimes
it has been arraigued; as we have said, the ju
ry are deliberating, and the verdict can scarcely
be mistaken. Aud if, under the providence of
God, this internal system goes to the wall, and
our nation becomes a nation of Iree men, we
shall not mount, but we will say “Bless God
for it.”
Prolane but Significant Letter.
The New York Post publishes a verbatim
letter found by one of our soldiers on the body
of a dead rebel sergeant after the battle ot
South Mountain, in Maryland. The Post
gives it with all its ribaldry and profanity as
an indication of the teiiqier which prevails
among the soldiers of the rebel army. As we
don’t care to send quite so much profanity in
to the families of our subscribers, we copy
the letter, substituting dashes for its ornamen
tal expressions. It will show the feeling of at
east one poor fellow who has fallen a victim to
the sin of rebellion.

“Dear Jim: We arrived here yesterday alter

since we left Gordonsville we have had n
of a time; first fighting with old Pope, then
hard inarching after the-Yankees, and liv

the fighting and they get the honor of the
Whippiug of the-Yankees.
"I am getting must dead siek of this war,
and if 1 had only known when 1 entered in the
service that the war would lie so long, and we
would lie led such a-eternal dog’s life, I
would have run away from the whole
Southern Confederacy, for I begin to think
that we have >ieen humbugged the-by our
officers in the war. What in -difiereuce
does it make to Us, Jim, whether we live un
der old Abe or under Jetr Davis; neither of
them care a-fir us, only to do their fight
ing anu voting, aim men we may go to
for all they care. You must not think that I
am turning Yankee, I am as good a southern
right man as ever, but I begin to think that
we have been fooled by a —— set of office
seeking villains who are too-lagy to work.
and have lost good fat living by the elec
tion of old Lincoln, and waut us poor white
niggers to build tiieir bouse for them, while
they don’t care a-if it fail oil us and kill
every-one of us, if they can keep their
-niggers and grow fat in office. Yon may
think that 1 talk-queer for a sergeant in

don't think its time to stop tills-killing of

If oar captain was to hear me talk so I ex

and put iu the guard-house and bucked or per
haps shot like poor Max; but 1 tell you, Jim,
I hare been thinking a good deal lately over
this matter, seince 1 have got into Maryland I
have talked to a good many Yankees or Union
men as uiey call themselves, and they gener
ally uuk very sensible; they seeiu to be down
on the nigger as much as any one in the South,
and say they only waut to preserve the Union
under our goyerimient; and 1 almost begin to
think that it would be a-shame to devidc
it for tile sake of a few office seekers. 1 buve
found a great deal of hospitality among the !
people here, and And they don't diA'cr with us
on many points. They only say preserve the
Union, and let the-nigger goto-. They
nsk us what we are lighting lor, and we tell
them for our rights, they say they have all
they ever had, and it would be- lolly for
them to join us, and, in fact, to speak candid,
I can’t Anally see what rights we have lost to
maKe such a-of n fuss about. 1 And things
quite different here from what 1 expected. We
was told that Md. was ripe for revolt, and as j
soon as we entered tier borders 40,000 or 50,- ]
000 would flock to our standard; but we found
we had been fooled the-, for the people all
appeared to i>e very well satisfied witli their
condition, and il l can judge from the appear
ance of their country and the prosperous con
dition of the people, I think they have made a
-good hit of it by slaying in the Union.
and it would have been a-sight better if !
we had all remained contented w ith our condi- i
Cion and not made a-set of fools of our- i
selves. I am afraid we are in a trap here, and .
the half will never get out. 1 think it was a

RECEPTION
OF THE
SEVENTH MAINE REGIMENT,
GREAT EMTHUSIAMK.
Brilliant Escort, Speeches, the
Dinner, do.
The 7th Maine regiment left Augusta, Aug.
23d, 1801. It was composed of about 850
men, rank and file. It was organized August
22d by (he election of (’apt. E. C. Mason, l"th
II. S. Infantry, 09 Colonel; Seiden Conner of
Fairfield, Lieut. Col., and Thomas W. Hyde of
Bath, Major.Col. Mason, having failed to ob
tain leave of absence from the l"tli, resigned
and Thomas H. Marshall, Esq,, of Belfast, w*as
elected in his place. Col. Marshall died at
Baltimore on the 25th of October, 1861, from
fever contracted by exposure and fatigue,
while in the discharge of his duties. Colonel
Mason was again appointed to the vacancy
and took command.
In its campaign of about founteen months
the regiment fire- taken part in all of the. hard
fought battles by the Army of the l’otomac
hut one. At Lee's Mills, Yorktow n, Savage's
Station, White Oak Swamp, Williamsburg (in
Hancock’s famous charge) Mechauicsville,
Golding’s Farm. Malvern Hill, South Moun
tain and Antletam, this regiment was in the
brunt of battle, and so great was their valor
at Williamsburg, that by permission of the
Major General the name of Willlamsbuig was
inscribed ou their banners.
The regiment has been reduced by sickness
and death to about 350 men, of whom only
about 150 are effective for service. So high
was the estimation in which it was held by
Gen. McClellan,that be told (Jell. Franklin the
highest compliment he could pay it, was to
order its return home. The application of
Gen. McClellan to the Secretary of War was
successful, and the regiment was ordered to
this city to recruit.
The Arrival.
The regiment left Boston in a special train
at 8 o'clock yesterday morning, and arrived
at the depot in this city at ten minutes past
one o'clock. An immense crowd, comprising
both sexes, had assembled in the vicinity of
tile depot to greet the soldiers. Before the
soldiers left tile cars ladies were passing at the
side distributing beautiful hoquets amoilgtbem.
They were received at the depot by the com
mittee of arrangements on tlie part of tbe
city. As they emerged from tlie building
shouts of welcome rent the air. The cheering
was most vociferous, and the ladies waved
their handkerchiefs. Salutes were tired from
field pieces near the depot. Tlie officers and
soldiers looked worn out with the hardships
and privations they had endured. Their ban
ners, rent with bullets and stained with blood,
were brought hack with them. There were
140 men in the regiment who came through to
this city. The sick and wounded, about a
dozen, were placed in carriages, and as they
passed by the 17'.h U. S. regiment tlie band
played and a salute was given.
Two companies of tbe 17th U. S. Infantry,
under command of Capt. Chase, accompanied
by Poppenburg’s Band, met tlie 7th at the de
pol and escorted them to State Street. Here
was drawn up in line a procession under the
direction of Otis Cutler, Esq.,Chief Marshal,
consisting of three liattailions of the 23d, 25lh
and 27th Maine regiments. The 1st battalion
from the 27th, was commanded by Lieut. Col.
Wentworth; tlie 2d battalion, from tlie 25lb,
was commanded by Maj. Tolman; tlie Sd, front
the 23d regiment, was commanded by Maj.
Soule; the whole under command of Col. Fes
senden. The High School Cadets, to the
number of 100, under Capt, White, made a
very handsome appearance. Then came the
Portland Commattdery Knights Templar—
grand and imposing. The Portland Fire De
partment, under command of Chief Engineer
U. C. Barnes, Esq., brought up the rear. This
was composed of the members of the
Machigonne, Falmouth and Cumberland
steam fire engines, Ellsworth Co., No. 3,
Ocean, No. 4, Davidson, No. 6, Dirigo, No. 8,
Pacific, No. 9, America Hose Co., No. 1, and
Washington Hook and Ladder Co., No. 1. The
17th U. S., with tlie 7th Maine, passed tlie
line uuder salutes, and formed on tlie right.—
The escort then marched past tlie Maine 7tli
and the LT. S. 17th, when these latter filed in, j
and were escorted to tlie new City Hall. All
along the route, from the depot to the City
Hall, the 7th was vehemently cheered by the
crow d gathered in tlie streets, and by ladies
in tlie doors and windows and on the roofs of
dwellings who waved their handkerchiefs. Many
of the houses in State street were decorated
with (tags, among which we noticed the tesi- ,
dunces of Edward Fox, Esq., Martin Gore,
Esq., Mr. Alvah Libby, ami Mr. William Hunt- ;
tumid. A flair was strung across the street
below Spring street. Another was thrown
across Congress street, from Misses Jones’ anil
Geo. It. Davis residences. The dwelling house
of II. J. Libby, Esq., head of High street, was
beautifully decorated with (lags, ami so was
the Preble House.
Besides Poppeuburg's Band, (lie Portland
and East Auburn Bunds furnished splendid
music. We were glad to notice our friend
Chandler leading the Portland Band.
In the Hall.
Tlie procession arrived at the hall about two
o’clock. 'Plie bull had been beautil'ull^decor- j
ated for the occasion, more gaily than ever
lie lore, with Hags and streamers Htid flowers,
and implements of war. Over the stairway
w as the inscription
“WKI.COM 12 GALLANT 7tII.”
Over the platform and on the sides of the
hull were flags festooned, bearing the inscrip
tion “Antietam,” “Williamsburg,” "White Oak
Swamp,” “Malvern llill,” “Lee’s Milis,” “Sav
age’s Station,” “Meeliauicsville,” “Golding’s '
Farm,” "South Mountain,” “VorkUiwn.” On
the platform was a mhuilurc tent, inscribed
“Headquarters 7th Regiment,” with a sentinel
pacing in front ol it. The soldiers were taken
into the “Senate Chamber,” where a collation
was provided for them. The officers partook
uf a collation in the Mayor's room.
Alter the 7lli Regiment had entered their
quarters, and the 17th l*. S. companies w ith
liiu firemen had entered the hall, the Battailous
from Camp Lincoln marched to the Kennebec i
A Portland depot ami received Gov. Wash- ;
burn, his Suite and the Executive Council of
Maine, and escorted them to the hall. There
was gie it applause when they entered, l*oi>- j
penburg's Band playing a National air. Soon
afterwards the remnant of the gallant 7th en- j
ti red, and it seemed as if the roof would come i
otr, so rending was the cheers given them. I
The ladies in the proscenium were not a whit
behind in their demonstrations of w elcome to i
the brave defenders of their country. It was
the most cheering and lively scene that Port- |
laud lias ever witnessed. The same scene was j
repeated when Col. Mason, Lieut. Col. Connor
ami Major Hyde, with the staff of the 7th
Regiment, entered and took their places on
the platform. After the music had ceased,
seven cheers were proposed and given with a I
will lor the soldiers of the 7th Maine, and the |
same number was repeated tor its gallant
officers.
The exercises in the hall commenced with a j
fervent and appropriate prayer from Rev. Dr. '
Bosworth, of the Free street Baptist Church.
Then followed a beautiful piece of music by
Poppenburg's Band. Alderman S. \V. Larra
bee, Chairman of the Board of Alderman, the
Mayor being absent, then welcomed the
officers and soldiers to our city, as follows:
Col. Mason, officers and soldiers of the gal
lant 7til Maine Regiment,
It has fallen upon me to occupy the place of
the Mayor on this occasion, and oiler to you
the hospitalities of the city.
I regret his absence, because I am sure he
wotildexpress to you the feelings of these warm
hearts, now gathered around yon, far better
than I shall he able to do.
It is now about 12 months since you (more
than eight hundred strong,) went out from -s,
as the defenders of our country. And nobly
have you performed your mission.
We are happy to be permitted to express to
your our gratitude, and thank you for your
deeds of valor.
You have now returned to us, with little
more than one-third of your original number.
Many of those who went out with you have
fallen on the lleld of battle, others by sick
ness, and others still are yet lingering by dis
ease, some far away from home and kindred.
With these, and with the friends ofthosewho
have died, and fallen in buttle, we do most
heartily sympathize, and pray God that the
consolations of His grace may be vouchsafed
to them.
We shall ever cherish, and love the memo
ries of those who have given their lives in the
defence, of our country.
And you, the remnant of this noble hand of
heroes, we cordially welcome you—we also
thank God on your behalf—‘‘and upon every
remembrance of you.
We meet you here w ith warm and open
hearts, and open hands—and in the name of
the city Government, and citizens of Portland,
1 hid you welcome! Welcome—welcome.
It shall Ire our endeavor to do all that we
can to make your stay amongst us pleasant and
happy.
I now have the pleasure to introduce to you
Ilis Kxcellenev, Gov. Washburn.
Gov. Washburn was greeted with prolonged
applause as he rose to welcome the regiment
home. He spoke as follows:
Col. Mason, and officers and soldiers of the
• gallant and faithful SetenUt!
In the name of your friends, and they are all
the loyal people ol Maine. I salute you !
Alter a service of some fourteen months,you
have come back to the State, whose patriotism
and valor you have so gloriously illustrated,
but with ranks thinned, and shattered by dis
ease and battle—with colors soiled, riddleiL
“torn—but flying”—and she takes you to her
heart, and gives you the welcome due to he
roes, and champions of liberty and law, of jus
tice and humanity.
Such fame as yours, won in an v common
war, w ould be cause of honorable uride.—but
how much shall your renown be increased
when the story of your courage, fidelity ai.d
patience, of the valor which knew how to die,
but not how to fuller, is associated as it must
be, with the cause in which you fought—the
grandest, and holiest that ever enoblcd war!
with an effort to save the life of a free country,
for the preservation of a Constitutional Gov
ernment tiie most perfect ever framed by hu
man hands—for tlie advancement of Christian
civilization, and tiie progress of mankind—
against a foul and wicked rebellion originating
in barbarism, violence and fraud! when you
shall remember that it was in behalf of the
American Union that you pined in tlie famous
charge at Williamsburg; in defence of the
Constitution of tlie United States that your
martial virtue was conspicuous on nearly
every battle-field of tlie Peninsula; in sup
port of those free institutions which have been
tiie strength and ornament of our land, that
at South Mountain, with broken columns hut
with fearless hearts and strong hands, you
bore tlie honored standard of tlie Till Maiue
in triumph over tlie perilous ridges of battle;
and, finally, that it was in a struggle for hu
man rights, on that dreadful day at Autietam,
when tlie array of the Republic won tlie vic
tory against superior numbers, that your little
but devoted band, by its gallantry, courage
and consecration, made for itself a name which
shall live so long as tlie memory of this war
remains, and won from its Uivi-lon General
tlie exalted praise that it had “performed the
most gallant feat of arms he had eccr seen or
heard of, or read in history,” and from tlie
Coinnrander-in-Chief the unusual, if not un
precedented, compliment implied in your re
turn to us at this time. liu’ you shall hear
from Gen. McClellan in his own words:
IlnADquAttricits Abmy of Potomac, )
Camp near Sharpsburg, Md.,
October 4, 1t>62. \
To His Excellency the Coceruor of the State
of Maine:
Sir:—In view of the reduced and shattered
condition of the Seventh Regiment of Maine
Volunteers, the result of arduous service and
exposure during the campaigns oil tlie Penin
sula and in Maryland, 1 made on tiie 2d hist,
a special application to tlie War Department
that the regiment should be sent to report to
you in Maine, that it might be recruited and
re-organized under your personal supervision.
I yesterday received the necessary authority,
ns you will observe by the copy of Special
Order No. 2T1 from these Headquarters, en
closed herein. 1 send the regiment to you for
tlie purpose indicated. 1 beg that when this
purpose shall have been accomplished, that the
regiment may be ordered to report to me w itli
all practicable despatch.
In returning this gallant remnant of a noble
body of men, w hose bravery has been exhibit
ed oil every lield almost in tlie campaigns
cited, to the State whose pride it is to have
sent them forth, I feel happy that it has tieen
in my power to signify even in this insufficient
manner, my appreciation of their services and
of their value to this army, and 1 will venture
on the latter account to ask your Excellency's
u i v<*o kw "UV.V un.ll vaiiiii UI.'IHU
ranks, that I may again see their .standard iu
the army of the Pototnae.
I am with much respect,
Your obedient servant,
(Signed) Geo. B. McClellan,
Major General, U. 5$. A.
What is here requested by the Commanding
General it will be my happiness to promote,
and i pledge you all that no effort 1 can make
to till your regiment shall be wanting. The
State bounty of $55 will lie paid to those who
enlist in it. and to this sum will be added the
United plates bounty and advance pay,making
iu ail $9t to be received by each soldier before
leaving the State.
Colonel* You will rememl>er that in re
sponse to an urgent call of tire Government
the 7th Regiment left f ir the seat of war be
fore it was l'uliy organized or equipped—but
though all unprepared for marching >o soon—
you, sir, ami the other Held officers had been
elected but the day before—it went upon the
instant without a murmur or siugle word of
objection. Its only anxiety seemed to be to
get where it could enter upon actual service
at the earliest moment. Y'ou have come back
to Maine to have that organization completed.
Let it be the grateful duty of the people and
the authorities to co-operate with you iu this
patriotic and necessary work!
Soldiers and friends! We mourn the loss of
the brave and devoted men who have falleu
from your ranks. They were dear to many
hearts. They are gone lroin us, but their
works shall live after them iu a country wiser,
stronger and freer than they ever knew. The
voices of our heroic dead, crying from a hun
dred battle-fields, have reached the ears of the
President, and his answer bus come in the
great Proclamation, that “deed of terrible up
rightness,” which gives assurance that their
blond has not been spilt in vain.
May God bless the 7th Regiment, and all
the Regiments of Maine volunteers, for they
are one in valor and devotion, and prosper the
can e of our country.
Long continued applause followed Gov.
Wa> lib urn’s welcome, and when Col. Mason
rose to respond, tlu* cheering was deafening.
Col. M. spoke in so low a tone at times that
we could not hear his remarks. He said that
such a welcome, such a hearty welcome, was
a sufficient compensation lor all the trials and
hardships and privations they had endured.
He alluded to their diminished ranks—some
of their lost comrades lay, they knew not
where, while others they were permitted to
bury, lie paid a high compliment to tin* rank
and file—to them, lie said, belonged the great
er part of the glory, and, as an officer, lie
would not destraet one iota from the credit due
them for their bravery in battle. The soldiers
of Maine came in for his highest meed of
praise. All the qualities that make the perfect
soldier, said Col. Mason, exist among them.
There is not a band who will make a more
perfect record at tiie close of this war than
* the soldiers from the Pine Tree State. In re
lation to his own l giment, he said nothing
gave him more pleasure than the general good
conduct of the tnen. No, not even when he
had returned to the command of the regiment,
and the men with a shout exclaimed, “We are
glad Little Johnny has couie back again.” lie
had seen it stated in the papers that at the
battle oi Antietam the 7th hesitated at an order
to charge in the face of three batteries. No,
said lie, the 7th never hesitated at an order,
and the order was promptly obeyed, though at
a terrible loss of life. In conclusion, he
thanked the City and State Authorities for the
kind reception given the regiment, and trusted
there would be enough of the valiant hearts
of Maine to come forward and replenish the
ranks, so tiiat they could soon again be at the
sent of war. Col. Mason's remarks elicited
great applause. At their conclusion, three
rousing cheers were given for Col. Mason,
three for Lieut. Col. Connor, three tor Major
Hyde, and three for the 7th Regiment. The
hand then played “Hail Columbia.” A bene
diction from Rev. Dr. Bosworth closed the ex
ercises in the ball.
The Dinner.
After the exercises in the hall were closed,
and while the immense throng of people were
leaving, a general interchange of civilities was
going on upon the stage, between the officers
of the veteran regiment and Gov. Washburn.
As soon as it could he done conveniently, the
procession was re-formed and escorted the gal
lant 7th to Mechanics’ llall, where the City
Government hud provided a sumptuous enter
tainment. Five rows of tables were spread
longitudinally, and tine across the head of the
hall. At the latter was seated the presiding
officer, the Held officers and chaplain of the
regiment, and the Governor and his suite.
The other tables were tilled with the rank and
file of the regiment, and invited guests. The
entertainment was got up by that popular
caterer, N. J. Davis of the Commercial House,
according to the following

The only drinks were hot coffee and cold
water. S. \V. Larrabee, Esq., Chairman of the
i Committee of Arrangements, called to order,
| and invited the chaplain of the regiment to
Invoke the divine blessing; after which the
viands were discussed with a relish.
Owing to the lateness of the hour all speeches
1 were dispensed with, and the company sepe
rated informally. Iielorc the seperation, how
ever, Col. Mason dismissed his regiment until
nine o'clock in tile evening, telling them they
were at full liberty to enjoy themselves until
that time, only be sure and report themselves
promptly; to remember that Portland was a
quiet, orderly aity, and not to yo in at too
many open doom. Tbe cheers with which
the “boys” responded, showed something of
the strength of their attachment to their be
loved Commander.
Thus ended a proud day for Portland—a day
long to be remembered by the noble fellows ot
the "Maine iHetenth"—a day back to which
everycitizeu may turn with honest pride. The
only thing to sadden the general festivities of
the occasion was the thought that so many of
those who once belonged to the regiment now
till soldiers’ graves or languish in hospitals,
hut even such sad thoughts were relieved of
much that would otherwise serve to depress,
by the reflection that they had fallen or been
wounded while gallantly defending the stars
and stripes, the proud emblem of constitutional
liberty.
