Article No. 2, was to the , effect that

First Mailne, then Indiana, and then
New York- The battle is already in
progress in Maine. ; Everything in the
wity of oppesijiou has united against
the jRcpublican parly. Great as-is this
opposition, and fierce aa is the struggle
or tbo Democrats to rise even to fem
blance of a vi ctory in tbejopening fibt
of the campaign it is now generally
conceded that the 'Republicans wifl
I ' i
elect their Governor, control the Leg-

islature, and choose Republican Presi
dential Electors. The fact that in one
or two districis lhe temperance people
are rur niDg t ?mperancc Congres,ionat
tickets, makes what nvould otherwise be
Republican district, somewhat doubts
tul. This arises from the jfact that no
Democrat was ever known to vote a
temperance ticket, of any kind, and in
consequence all votes of the kind are
from the Republican party.

EiJiToi:rcar 00 yesterday Buxton
and Jarvis met in joint discussion at
this place according to appointment.
Thcro was jibout 8U0 persons 'present of
both political partledj Much enthusi
asm and good leeliug prevailed. Judge
Buxton's smiling, honest face, together
with" his arraigumeut of tho Demo
cracy for their false pretensions, made
him many f iends in Onslow,
The Governor in reply -to his having
voted lor the special; Tax Bonds, at
nted it in toto, with the exception of
one vote when he did h for the ur
pose of retionsidering. ' Cato," who
ever ho may be, has incurred the dis
pleasure of the Governor, who lie de
nounced as a! scoundrel, whp lied and
was ashamtd of his name. He further
stated that there was no deficit in the
Treasury, ami that the stale hjtd not
borrowed any money under his admin
istration. The Governor went oh .fur
ther to fctale that two years "lS79-70)
of Republican ule bad cost the peo
ple f.K),000 moro tiian, , two years of
Democratic rule about ten years after
ward when; as. every jeraon knows,
who has comuioa j sense, the (iurchasing
power; was more thau cnc-lhird greater.
Thi sert cf talk may ass for argument"
in some places but not here. '
Thej Republicans are alive and doing
their whok- duty in old Onslow.: They
have raised a Gai field and Arthur,
Buxton aud Canaday flig at this piace,
something which was iievcr known be
