Gov. Plumer Of N. r. at Porlsnouth, during
he visit Of the presdentn 81. S. has been
animadverted upon with much humour, in
some Of the prints Of that state. In the first
instance twas stated that the Governor was
notified by express, early on Saturday morn
ing that the President would be in Portsmouth.
that afternoon, and that His Excellency would
set out for Portsmouth, as soon as he break
lasted. But if the Governors own word is TO
be taken, the reason was, severe indispos-
don," and could not attend, however much in
clined. With respect 10 his not furnishing
military escort, he gives as reason, that the
law did not authorize him TO call out the mi
litIa on sach an occasion.
These facts the Governor communicated in
very respectful note to the President while
at Concord, on bis way to Vermont.

filed your columns I accept an invitation
you sometime since gave of wish to re
ceiye communications, relative to literature
and agriculture, TO observe, have resided
in the District Of Maine few years and
have found cause to lament, that gentlemen
OF leisure, property and experience have
done so little to encourage and patronize the
agricultural interest, so important to every
class of the community. The rage for en-
igration has become extensive and alarm
ing yet am necessitated to believe, that
many are not sufficiently acquainted with
the resources of Maine and will find their
hopes of reaping nothing but Gold in Ohio
or Illinois, in some measure delusive So
far as have had chance Of examining the
soil and crops in this section, I am induced
TO believe that Mr. Greenlears statistical
view is not too highly colo ed and had we
more independent philosophical farmers,
who by precept and example would encour.

he may here live on the fruit of bis industry
and comfortably support his family. The
political situation of the country since 1907,
has operated more essentially to distress
Maine, than our unfavorable seasons. The
farmer has been engaged in too many bran
ches of business most of them are deal

CATION. But when they have exclusively
confined themselves TO agriculture, fully
believe they have been as successful, as the
farmers of Massachusetts, or The Western

Mr.. EDITOR,
regretted to observe in the last Argus, a
mean attack upon gentleman of the first
responsibility and character. Such attacks as
the one alluded to, whilst they eviace the ex
IRENE malignity Of their authors, fail in their
object, and never can reach any person of
reputation and standing. Ii was TO have been
supposed, that the sepaTatists too well knew
their vulnerable side, to be willing to rouse
any feelings that might lead to contest on
that subject. 1t is to be hoped for the honor
Of the District, that no scurrilous paragraphs,
will induce any one to remind the people of
the conduct of certain leading advocates of
the separation, but that time will be allowed
as tar as possible, to bury forever the dis
graceful sceGes of the last year. ANXIOUS.
II is curious to observe the different species
of Insanity. Sometime. it will occasion out
rsgeous ravng, upon the mention of apartic-
ular subject, when the mind seems tolerably
rational upon some others.--Thus ifany man,
whatever may be his situation or circum-
stances, shall utter a sentiment, which touch
es the lacerated nerve of separation, he in,
stantly becomes to the mental vision OF the
Argus, vagabond, fool, and pauper.
| Billingsgate itself would blush al its raving.
