Ma. ADAMS,
|. YOU are requested to give publicity
to the following Democratic Circular
which was intended for those only who
are In the secrets OF the Democratic
Junto, in this county. II shows the Sc
cret and insiduous rneans that are en-
Ployed to impose on the honest anc
unsuspecting part Of the community
tor the democrats have constantly rep
resented every thing Of this kind as be-
ing repugnant to republican principles
when, at the same time, they were au'
thors of these things themselves. Pre-
yious to the election in 1906, the Ar
gus published circular letter to the
tederalists, as a wonderful discovery
II was Eoitity termed the Cat out ofthe
Bog J" and declared to be plenary evil
dence that all the feCleralists were old
tories,' " monarchists," &c. SC. and
the writer's in the Argus, heaped every
base and malignat remark on the gen
t'enen who signed the circular, that
malice or neanness could invent. 1t Is
unnecessary to publish their observa-
tons they are fit only to occupy the
polluted columns Of the Eastern Argus.
AsOpportunity will permit, | propose
to offer some structures on this famous
Circular, alias, /" Cat in strange gar

high respects to the gentlemen whose
names are affixed. 1t will be idle for
any one to say the signatures are not
real--their hand writing is as well
known as their faces.
ask, Whence cones all this zeal
for promoting the democratic cause I?
A democrat will say, it springs from
the hi4rest and most disiniefested patri-
otism, and their l9ve cfthe heohie ; but,
on looking at the signers of this address,
] find that most Of them have had their
reward In the possession of fat offices,
through favor Of the powers that be.
The others win in due time probably

held up and supported at the ensuing

for Governor, and the Hon. LEVI
LINCOLN, of WORCESTER, for Lcufen-
am. Governor. Their integrity, talents
and services recommend them to the
suffrapesof their fellow-citizens. Their
zeal in the cause Of their country, their
characters, their principles, and the
whole tenor of their past lives designate
them, as suitable guardians Of the pub

Hon. LEVI HuBBARD and JAMES

correctness Of sentiment, the infiexible

ton and trust Of their fellow citizens.
Retubicdn Brethren,
Ifyou appreciate the blessings which
you enjoy if you would alignment, con-
tinue, and preserve them be dillsent
be elert, be resolute. Your own inter-
est requires it of you. The public
safety claims it. Posterity demands it.
On this election much depends. The
event is within your controul. Let not
this opportunity be lost by remissness.
IF YOU succeed, union and harmony viii
prevail. If you fail, dissention and
strife, calumny, SANDER and contention,
viii continue.
It's important that full rcpresen-
tation should be sent from every Re-
publican town, TO counterbalance toe
Aristocracy Of the Metropolis, and to
ensure a Republican majority in the
General Court. 1t will be the policy
and the endeavour Of the opposite par

MISCELLANEOUS THoUGH7

MISCELLANEOUS THOUGHTS.
Vice appears more disgusting in wo-
man than in a man. The superior white
ness of her character, when compared
with the other sex, discovers every spot
which it receives. Vice, fastening on
woman, appears in all its malignity-
we view it as 4" hog in flower gar
den" We behold with regret the pros
tration of whatever is lovely, delicate, or
beautiful in the human soul.
Nature imbla1ts no disposition in vain.
1t seems to be a general Ia1O throughout
the 1Vh0le animal creation, that no crea-
tire zUihom exercise, Sh0uld enjoy
health, or be able to find subsistence. E.
gerry creature, except man, takes as much
?f it as IS necessary. He alone, and such
animals as are uider his direction, deviate
from this original la7o, and they suffer
accordingly.

1t is not, however, improbable but my
impressions on this subject may have
been erroneous. Perhaps the article in
question was not intended as the genu-
inc Testament of any one Of our Bache-
lors. 1t may be the production Of some
wag, intended for a quiz upon the whole
brotherhood; or it may be transcribed
from some old publication, altered and
perhaps amended, and thrown into the
Letter-box for republication.

both in body and mind, tho prey to

and barren ground much overgrown
with 6riarS, Morns and Mistles: but ca

Mr.. CHARLES CAsTLE-BUILDER my

in the Regions of Imagination, rises Sc

Executor of this my last Will and Tes-
lament, requesting and enjoining him

der a firm persuasion that l shall have
no further use for the articles devised,
l desire that my Legatees will not con-
slider their respe ctive legacies as IA
YOURS conferred upon them. 1t is also
my earnest request, that they will not
hoard them up, or make long and
improbable use of them, but endea-
YOUR to dispose of them as soon as
possible, to the end that they may be
the better disposed and qualified to
follow me into that happy state into

Gore waited, n anxious, daily expectation
that 1Oeaaing in the neighbourhood,

Altho' one or two Of our Bachelors have
lately made some attempts to soften
their manners, and have occasionally
furnished themselves up little, and
stalEed about, as if they were " almost

keep SO far aloof, and discover such an
horror of 1V''lkS and .gigglca, that 1 can

ACTION OF SPANDFN.

June 5'h, the Rufiian army put feveral of its
d'vlhons in motion.-The right attacked the
bridge-head OF Spanden, which General Frere
defended with The 9Th regiment. Twelve
Ruflian regiments made vain efforts they re-
newed them ieven times, and feven times were
repuied-IO the mean time the Prince Of Pom.
te.Corvo (Bernadotte) had attended his troops,
but before they could act, a charge of the 7th
dragons forced the enemy to retreat. Thus
during whole day, two diviGons made repeat
ed pniuccefstul attacks on one regiment; but
it mu0 be owned this regiment was entrenched.
In Whiting the entertainments between one of
the attacks, MARTIAL Bernadotte was Rightly
wounded, which will render him unable to re.
fume his command for fortnight. Our lots

AFFAIR OF THE 9Th

On the Sth the emperor arrived at Deepen,
and gave the necefary orders. The 4th corps
moved TO Wolfdorff, where it met Ruflian di-
Whom about to join the main army, attacked it,
diidbied 500 men, took $50, and in the even
ing took poit at Atikirken.
at this moment the emperor advanced on
Guitadt, with Ney's and Lannes' corps, his
guards, and the referve of cavalry. Ten thou
land cavalry, and 1000 infantry of the enc
my's rear guard, took poflefiion of Glotuu,
and attempted to dipute the pafage. Martial
Murat, after iome kful maueuvres, drove
them from their petitions, and the light caval-
ny and heavy dragons triumphed over all the
efforts Of the enemy, and in the evening we eH-
tered Guftadt by force. One thoufand prifon.
erS, the pohcilion of the poGtonsb before Gufladt,
and the routing of the infantry, were the COM

were peculiarly feverely handled.
