PRESIDENTIAL EI.FCTTON.

In the Course we have pursued relative
to this important subject, in the remarks
we have made, and the srntiments pro-
mulgated IN our paper, we have eudeavor-
ed to be uniform, consistent and explicit
In doing this we have expressed not only
our own feelings, views and opinions, but
those of the Republicans generally, in this
section of the Union. While in other sec
tons and IN other states, we regret TO find
a difference OF opinion among those who
profess an att .chmeat to the principles of
Repubcanisn, and have heretofore been
ranked on the American side in the great
political divisions, it affords us much salts
faction, to find in this, in Maine more par
ucuiarly, but one prevailing sentiment
Our means OF ascertaining This, have been
very ample. and we have endeavored so to
improve them, as to render our paper a
Correct, full and fair expression of the pre-
vailng sentiment. In confirmation of this,
we are happy to learn, that the Democra-
tic members OF the Legislature, and other
gentlemen of the same political character,
from different parts ofthe Commonwealth,
nave recently had meeting at Boston, in
which the nomination of JAMES MON
ROE, as candidate for the Presidency,
was unanimously approved. Here then is
public opinion-that opinion, which our pa
per has constantly advocated. The Re
publicans here are actuatcd by the most IL
beral and patriotic views. They spurn at
those contemplate and selfish geographical
distinctions, which have been brought for
ward 10 sway the public mind in New
York and some other places. They recog-
nize no claims whatever on account ofbirfh-
hiace or residence. They regard the Anne
rican people as one family, a great zvhole-
and in selecting one from this body for the
highest office in the governments, they
would only enquire, whether he is the best
nlan--not whether he is from Georgia or
New York England or Kentucky
Virginia or where-these do not enter
into the account-it is - sufficient qualiGca-
ton for the c.ud date in this respect, that
he is a natiUe citizen Of the United States.
Mr.. MONROE being considered better
qualified for the presidency than any other
ran thdt can be brought in competition
with him, the K pubicans of our state have
come forward in support of him. We
trust, that, tho 'lomiaaAy minority, their
voice will be heard--that the Republicans
of other sections will he induced, by their
patriotic example, to sacrifice State hartt-
dHtieS and local attachments to the COM
MOI good of their country-and that the
friends of the american Unioa, will vet rail-
iy under the same standard, and exhibit 70
Federalism, and the opposers of cur coun-
try's prosperity--to all our foes, both fo-
reign and douestic-a firm, solid, and i'm
pregnable phslanx.-[ Portland .drgus.

An occurrence, much to be regretted,
happened in our river few days since. A
boat belonging TO the ship Resource, capt.
Kirby, from New York, attempted to pass
Fort Jack sou, for the purpose Of landing
passengers from on board her and thus
violate the quarantine law. The boat was
hated from TIC fort by the centincl and
ordered to come too--hut refused and a.
gain returned to the ship. Upon her get
sing alongside Of the Resource, the fort fir
ed upon ner, and killed one seaman and
somewhat injured the ship AS there
are many rUmofs about L, and pubic opin-
ioa much divided on the subject, we have

the Mayor cf this city:
Fort jackson, Fe6. 3, 1916.
Sir,
1t becomes my painful duty to inform
you. that some time after the close of the
evening" of the LIST inst. an attempt was
made to break through the quarantine re-
gulations. which compelled me to the pain
tul resort of force to prevent its succeS ding.
a boat was discovered by the centinel in
the act of passing the fort she was hailed
three times /; and, upon no answer being
returned, musket shot was fired over her.
Upon finding herself discovered, she at
tempted to return, when a second shot was
fired at her, but failed to bring her too.-
She then went alongside the ship Resource,
commanded by captain Kirby, then subject
to the Quarantine regulations. After wait
ing full quarter of an hour, / was at this
ship (Which lay about mile and a half
below the fort) compelled to fire from a
twenty-tour FOUNDER, which carried away
her foretop- gallant mast. No notice, to
appearance. was taken of this compulsory
act. l again waited quarter of an hour,
when second shot was fired, which cut
away part of the rigging. Still no effect
OF compliance was produced. After wait
ing as before, a tn I'd shot was fired, which
entered her bow, and, pas ing through her
'orecastle, unfortunately killed man b.
| longing to tue ship, The ships boat was
then immediately dispatched to the fort
upon her reaching the fort.a man (whom
took to be the mate) enquired the reason
OF my firing en- the ship: directed him
to state to the captain, that / should ex
pect within fifty minutes to be informed
what boatit was that went alongside of him.
The captain then came ashore himself and
asserted that it was an oyster boats This,
however, knew to be untrue, as the boat
had, by the light which was reflected from
the Ire on the opposite marsh, clearly been
perceived to be yaw boat. | enqured of
Captain Kirby the reason of his obstinate
ly refusing to obey or to notice my centinei's
hire but his answer was so equivocal that
was confirmed in my belief, that an at
tempt had been made to infringe the quar-.
antine regulations.
AS this affair was unfortunately produc-
tive o. the loss of mans life, ] have
| thought 1t proper to hand into you a
statement of the instances of the
case. l most deeply lament that so
dreadful consequence should have been
produced, and doubly so too, as the
misfortune fell upon an innocent indiv;du-
