From the Portland Gazette Of Mag Is.
Oar friend the /" Pigeon tgatterer y''--Mr.
Widgery, our member of Congress, returned
to this town in~the course of the last week
no doubt on voyage of discovery. Notwith-
standing the zeal and heat with which he has
advocated war through long and cold winter
session, now as the weather grows warm, he
has grown cool and has been wise enough to
come home and listen and learn the sentiments
of his constituents-'1is believed 1t will not
require much sagaety to discover that he has
been all in the wrong-that while his pulse
has been running fever high, the pulse of the
people has been down on the subject OF war
measures. And though in Massachusetts the
people are not assembling to publish resolu-
tions expressive of their feelings on this inte-
resting occasion, It's not because their feelings
are no. alive, but it's because the people
have in their recent elections, spoke Ian
guage as plain as it is loud-a language which
proves how congress and their GAG poll
cy is estimated by our merchants and our
farmers. Yes-wise as Mr.. Widgery is, he
will return to Washington wiser than when
he LETT it. He will be able to inform the Com
mfrce Raters and Embargaroons, that the spi-
rit of New-EngIand is rising higher and high
Grand it overhows in those multitudinous
assemblies which the constitution has COM
manded the people to hold annually. lis
matter of congratuIation that all these changes
which have taken place in our country are In
consequence of the violence of our state go
vernment and the unaccountabe conduct of
our federal government. The body polite
has for many years been laboring under dis
eases ofyarious kinds It's now recovering by
its own exertions-without medical aid ii is
throwing off its disorders and will be soon re-
stored to its accustomed health and strength.
May Heaven speed the day.
