Our republican friends in the several towns, where the *j>eaking is to take place, are requested to make the nccetan*1 ry arrangements for the mcetiug*. The County Convention. Wo give, in the appropriate place, the names of the persons nominated for State ami County officers by the republican County Convention, held at Alfred on Thursday of last week. Notwithstanding the morning of the day on which the Convention wax hold was wet and low ering and gave indications of disagreeable weather through the day, the Convention 1 was fully attended, and delegations were \ present from the most distant parts of1 the county. The proceedings were char-; acterixcd by great unanimity, and the nominations were made with the best of feeling. We give in another place the official report of the doings of the Con vention. It will be perceived that the • convention presented as candidates fur the j State Senate, the gentlemen who so ablv and satisfactorily represented the county , in the Senate last year. Their re-nomi-1 nation was not more in accordancc with party usages than it was a deserved trib ute to public officers, who had faithfully and acceptably discharged the tru«t con fided to them. The convention in pre senting them as candidates for the Sen ate, acted wisely, and in accordance with public sentiment. Elected, as we have no doubt tliev will be, they will ably rep resent the people of York. Zealously, and promptly caring for their interest#, i and serving the State with an ability and t'uithfulnens which will not be surpassed by any delegation, from any other section i of the State. For County Commissioner and Coun ty Treasurer, the convention selected as . candidates, respectively, the gentleincu,! w ho now fill these office*. The accepta-1 blc manner in which they have hereto fore discharged their officiid duties, give the l>e*t assurance that the promptness und fidelity, which ha* characterized them ! in their official duties, will 1h» continued. The selection of a candidate for Regis-1 ter of I>ccds was embarrassing somewhat, from the fact that all the candidates pre-' sented, possessed the best of qualifications for the office, and were entirely unobjec tionublc. The first ballot having resulted in no choice, a second ballot was taken, and in j this Hon. Samuel C. Adams of N'ewfield was nominated. Mr. Adams is well known in the county, its u man of sterling in- ' tegrity, correct business habits atfablc in ! manners, and stands deservedly high in the estimation of the people. The ticket, in every particular, is a strong one, and j will be most cheerfully supported by the j republicans of the county, who will feel j in depositing their ballots that all the | nominations are such as were "fit to l»e made." The sentiment* of the convention, as ox-1 pressed in the resolves passed, we tali ere• will moot tho hearty approval of the re- i publicans of the county. Xo better ex-1 position of the principle* cherished bv the republicans in relation to the Slavery quest iou wa* ever made,than that put forth by the Philadelphia Convention, held in ! June of last yeaj, The resolve* are conch* cd in tirni but temperate language, cover j the whole round of opinion a* to what 1 ideas should govern in the administration of the government, and so far as they re late to the practical question touching the effort to spread Slavery in Kansas, are dis tinct and emphatic. The convention in re-producing them and iv-nttinuing their correct nes* acted wisely. The resolution censuring the present administration, for continuing the policy pursued by its pre deceseont, is most appropriate. President Buchanan has very lately, in his reply to ! Profcw»or Silliman, declared his determi nation to enforce the bogus laws forced on the people of Kansas by Missouri Bor der Ruffians, and so long as this is done, there is ample justification for treating his administration as the apologist for the outrage* and crimes which hare been committed against the people of Kansas. The resolve relating to the spread of intemperance, mforcea the riew expressed by that adopted by the State Conreotion* It mqwU that the present lioenae law baa failed to prevent the spread of tbo evil, in incorrect in it* princtploa, and de clares that a prohibitory law, when again onacW, shook) he cautiously drawn, and before becoming the law of the State, be* Hubmitted to the test of a popular vote.— Tbo coures >uggcfttcd is in accordance with the views of the great IkkIt of the tem perance men of the State, many of whom have been of the opinion from the begin ning, that such submimion would remit to the permanent advantage of th> tem perance caune. After the business of tho convention was rccoinplUhed, Ilou. Ansok Buelix game, by invitation, addressed tho peo-l pie who had assembled in Urge numbers from every section of the county, on the absorbing political question which inter est* tho American people. He apoke fr<»m a stand erected in the open air, near the house of John II. Say wood E»q, and to an audience composed of *otno eight hundred person*. For two hour* or more he kept the assembly enchained with his eloquence, analyzing closely the power* of the government, showing that--the intentions of its fram^m wore to enlarge the boundaries of human freedom, and that the Attempt now being ma I e by tho sham democracy to prevent it and pros titute it to the unworthy purpose of id tending slaver}', should be met calmly iud resolutely at the ballot boxes, l»y the American people. Mr. Ilurliugume nev er *|>oke liettcr, or to a more appreciative audience. It is sometimes objected to Mr. Ilnrlingamc, that his warm and for ©red spirit, lead* him to indulge too much in the grace* of oratory, and to the use of brilliant metaphors which are incon sistent with close reasoning. No fault of this nature could be found with liiin on this occasion, llis speech was practical as well as eloquent, and as closely com pacted an argument a« well could be made, showing conclusively that he ha* the breadth of the Statesman, as well an the brilliancy of the accomplished speak er. At the close of his remarks, he was enthusiastically cheered, and tho conven tion separated. We have never attended a more satis factory gathering of our political friends in this county, or one which wis more unanimous in its action, or was pervaded with a bettor feeling. The large number present, and tho interest manifested in the cause is a cheering indication of the de termination of the republicans of York County to do their whole dutv. If our opponents arc reckoning on succc* to be obtained through the inertness of the re pablicaii!>, uh wc arc tolil they an\ the sooner tin*}' dismiss the idea the better for them. They need not spend time ami money in the dictation of catching the republican* asleep, nor need they do m>, at nil, unlcs« they love t«» spend time and money for the fun of hwing it. Tim peo ple of the County cf York have no syin jmthy with the principle* of the Sliaui Democracy. They are earnest, uno.ni proiniiiiii^ oppo*cn of oven principle which in inconsistent with the prevalence of free institution*, hostile to any measure which will lead to the introduction into the union of another iuch of Slave terri tory, and mcau in the coining election to renew their cuudeinnation, so emphati cally made last year, of the authors of the outrages, and apologists for the crimes committed on the free people of Kausas. We were assured bv republicans from every section of the county that the re publican voters would be at tho polls on election day, and in view of the good feel ing that exists the complete satisfaction everywhere with the candidates presented, and the determination manifested bv the people to stand their grouud, we hazard nothing in predicting the succciw of the republicans of York ou the day of elec tion. The Temper&nse Question. The subjoined article in taken from the j Maine UptiHt/tlUl, n religious paper pub lished at Ix'wiston Falls and con ducted with ability, candor and conscien tiousness. We do not desire to suppress the tact that there is soino difference of | opinion among teni|>erunec men at to w.iat course should Ikj adopted in refer ence to future legislation to cheek the | spread of intemperance. We believe how ever, that a vast majority of the friends of the cause in the State, arc sal infill that such a policy as is indicated in the Kvan-, gclist is the correct oue. 'Hie considera-' tions urged are such as appeal with great j force to the w isdom of the people. Some thing must be done to avert the swelling tide of inteiu|>crunce, but whatever it may bo, and it can take no form but that of i prohibition, let it have the unmistakable sanction of the people. In this way alone I can we put down the cavillers, and silence j opposition to the execution of any prohib-1 itiory law that may receive the sanctiou i of the |>eople. Wo bolievo there in no ' difficulty in fanning a law, which may bo constitutional, contain the prohibitory , principle, and that such a law would re-, ceive the sanction of three fourths of the people of the State. We were not among those who supposed there was any prac-1 tical necessity in 1855 for adding niateri-' ally to the stringency of the law of 1853. We rather believed that the people were: gradually becoming satisfied with the law as it then stood, and that in the end, all bnt those who were influenced by pecu niar}' and personal considerations, would become satisfied with it, and it would be comc^asy of execution. The friends of prohibition thought it expedient to pass the law of 1855, and friendly as we wore to the principle of prohibition on which it was baaed,we felt it our duty to sustain it, and did so to the best of our ability. We do not belicvo that the defeat of the re publicans in 1855 was owing entirsly to the p—ifi of that law of thai ymt, though uo doubt, the chmor that was raised on its account ami some unfortu nate event* thgt occurred connected w itli it* execution, contributed in *01110 degree to the result of that struggle. Wo do not believe that the |wople of the State have yet, nor will they hereafter, repudiate the principle contained in the law tint passed in 18.11. Never, in our view, ha* there been a greater necessity than at the pres ent for the passage of a law w hich would effectually *11111 up tin* prog *hops whose poisonous water*lire dowing over the land, and in common with the friend* of the principle, we shall look to the Legislature of out State, to adopt measiiiw such a* are suggested in the appends! article, and such as will, in our opinion, Lo tlu* mean* of finally plncing on the Statute book a law which shall effectually restrain the «alc of anient spirits, and put an end to tho evils of intemperance. With the brief introductory remarks we commend the article from the Kvangelist to our reader*. . Oc* Tri'k Poller.—In the present criaia of the Temperance Reform, it is an important quMtion whether its friends shall pursue the policy of exclusion and narrowness, or inclu> •ion and comprehension—of denunciation or conciliation. There are those who will join us and work with us in our efforts to secure a judicious, and acceptable prohibitory law, it wo invite their cooperation and oounsol, and who will be repellod, il we in arrogant ■wlf-sufficiency, treat them 9s our^ensinies and the enemies of the cause alpe. The cuuse is not^hat of unr p*rtj orany narrow circle of individuals, but of the whole people of the State. It not Republicans alone, but of the whole people of the Sute. It is not Republicans alone, but Democrats as well, tha. are concerned to abate and ii possible wholly subvert the evils of tntemperance.— There is not a father in the Sute—not a brother, not a son, not a mother, wife or sin ter, that has not an interest in the suppress, ion of the traffic in Intoxicating liquors.— Point u* to a home that has not been desola ted or may not bo desolated by the incursion* of intemperance and we will point you to one that has no interest in the progress of the temperance reform. In isuiuch then us it is a matter not of party or section, but ot uiiiveniul concern, the widt»t co-opcrati<>n i«hould be sought, uhd the most diverse, il friendly, counsels wulcouied. On the ques tion about the law which is to supernodo the present one, if it shall > superncdca, all opinions huul.l lie welcoin ■*!, sinon it in to derive its practical force not Iroin a clique or a party, but from the groat mamcs of the people, scattered all over theState. It mat* tern little what specific law u* might enact, if all tho power of its enactment and execu tion lay with us. The im|»oriant thing U to know what law will meet with general acceptance ui.d furtherance as a working lorce. Wo are utterly oppoMil to the cact ^icnt of u prohibitory law till the people iimvu given their nanction in 1111 unwi*ukn'>le way to tin? principle ul proiilOltlon me jieoplo f»v thin time ought to know whut kind of u law they want, ami they ill ant bo con muIUh! in tin* matter, an without them any law will remain a dead letter U[ion the itat> uta book. We are not in favor of coaxing or cajoling, or climating a law out of tli»> poo plo. Wo aro not in favor of treating them at children, and blinding them to its impor tant provisions. Lot thoin cnact virtually the law, knowing ti.n while, what they un doing, nnd then we may hope to get a law that will stand fire—that we shull not !>•• afraid to carry right strait out through all olmtrurtLna. Suite fuw men may fruiuo a law, and work party machinery to get it en« acted, hut they cannot inak«» it u working force when it in enacted. Wo are tired ol lawn that men write out and put to vote and write within paper cover*, and thee t/ioylio a< harm let* and an m tint <l»ml in their grave*. Laws that run before public opinion—laws that are the exponents of ox tretne views—of the men who rango ahead of the masses aro utterly valueless. They are not worth the paper they are written on.— Do the people of this Stite want a prohibi tory law, yes or no? If they do, let them Niy so—if not, let them my so. All we want oi any party is just to give the people an op portunity to say yes or no on this matter.— if some sixty or suventy thousand voters do not want a prohibitory law, ice don't want on-». for witiout a in i|«>rity of ten or fifteen thousand voter* we could not woik any law of this aort to much advantage. Our* true policy is to invite all, of all shades of opin ion that will oo-operato with us, to do so.— We should deuouncs none—w: should repel none We shall need all we can get. Ev ery man's vote counts one. Not exclusion, but inclusion should be our policy. It is not for any man to dictate to nis fellows or to be cross or snappish beftwiso they will not do as he wants them to do. It is a mattor for mutual consultation and conciliation, and the man who petulantly seeks and de termines to have his own way in a thing of this aort shows not his strength and wisdom, but his weakness and f lly. We are in lavor of a prohibitory law—are you, fellow citi zens ikune sixty or seventy thousand of you ? If we say yes, and you say yes, we will have one—but if you say no, we shall just have to wait till rum has destroyed a few hundred more of your, fathers, brothers, sons, and then over their gloomy graves you will perhaps My, yes with us. t^r Tii« editor of tlu> Democrat makes bad work, explaining how it came to state that we were doing fat job# of printing for the State.

We have Ikvii engaged in it* duties for now nearly four month*, laboring with our colleagues in attending to the publication of the revised statutes, preparing indexes thereto, and other matter counectcd with their publi cation. Whatever pay we may receive for the service willbj fairly earned, as the otHco i* one of laltor, and not a mere sinecure, such as the editor of the Demo crat enjoys as collector of the port of Saco. If there is any body who has fat jobs of printing to bestow, if they will give them to us, we will execute them in the best matiuor. We should not even object to doing work for the State. fSf The Democrat after giving the names of tho persons nominated at the Republican Convention held at Alfred tlippcntly adds, "Mr. Burlingamc address ed the convention upon Xiyyerum, wo suppose." In 1849, the editor of the Democrat addressed the people of York through his paper, in favor of such Nih grrism, and declared that the Democracy of Maine would stand by it. He was then a nu/gfr, now he is nothing but the poor apologist of slavery. He is to I* pitied.
