The Bangor Register in speaking Of the late caucss
held IN this town TO nominate Governor, has the fol-
lowing remarks
All that was important in the doings Of this
meeting was published i'll the Argus, at or about
tn time il took place. Why then this second
edition? Was 1t Tor the purpose of giving the an
swer of the Governor, which had not then been
prepared for the press To that answer we will
give moments attention. The first paragraph,
with the signature, was certainly all that the 0c
ClslOl required.
" " agree with the Governor, that his name
has been improperly connected with the subject
OF the next Presidential election; as well might
the pame OF any other respectable individual be
brought before the public in relation 70 this sub
Jcct as that OF Gov. p.
We do not sec what good reason the Gov
ernor had for intruding the subject on the com
mttee had they requested any information on,
or explanation of the subject we did not learn
that they had. If the Governor, " drcss'd in d
little brief authority" did conceive that his o.
Plnlon ION 4 subject not within the limits of his
authority was OF consequence, surely. enough
had been SAID on the subject; If any thing had
been animated, il had also been denied; ii as
serted, ii had been coiltrGdictcd.
Did the Governor wish to occupy little more
space in the public eye We are not pleased
with this covert way of assuming consequence.
The Cumberland and Oxford Canal
As meeting Is soon to be held in this town
Of those who are favourably disposed to the pro-
JeCted Canal to connect this town with the coun-
" of Oxford by water communication. we
cannot bat again advert to the subject as one Of
the greatest interest to this section of the State
Many years ago the country through which il i.
contemplated the canal will pass, was SURVEYED
10y the able engineer, who superintendent the
erection Of the Middlesex Canal il was found
by that survey, that the project was easy 10 Ne
carried into effect that but few distractions
existed TO retard the undertaking and that the
cXPence would be comparatively small Bot
the enterprise failed at that time in consequence
OF the commercial embarrasSments which press-
ed with - much severity upon this portion OF
! he country. Since that time the subject has Of.
ten been agitated, and the great advantages
which would arise from its operation been re.
| Peatedly acknowledged BY men of the most dis
eliminating Judgment. And now that 4 meet
| ing Is to be held of those favourable To the mea
sure, we cannot but anticipate the most happy
| results by a vigorous prosecution of the work

and the Hudson, and which will exist a monu
