more than chickens alongside Of peacocks. Has
Mr.. Anderson tried it out yet with our own law
yers in court want to know what mark he is
up to, and what kind of stuff he is made of, before
he makes push in the political world with my
consent. And it is my wish 70 have our new
State appear respectable at Washington'
a. am much afraid that Mr.. Anderson IS not
quite the thing to meet the advocates OF the man
ufacturing companies. They are too crafty to
send any but their >st rate champions to Con-
gress. We wantrsasoning, and sound reasoning
too, on that subject, as well as votes, for we have
a very deep interest in it.
5. If any man in the county, had difficult
case in law, would he engage Mr. Anderson, in
ii, instead Of MfIongfellsw If not let every
man be honest enough to deal as fairly towards
the public interest as he would deal faithfully
with respect to his own. This is the plain duty
of every good citizen, and no man of truth will
deny it.,
6. And finally, il is never prudent to leap in
the dark, or to give the helm to green hand in
gale, or to intrIist your keys to stranger, or
to give your votes for man you know little or
nothing about. All which errors, mistakes, &C
cidents and blunders, may the good people of the
county of Cumberland, at the approaching cleo
ton, have the wisdom and prudence to avoid,

whose character cannot be considered as fully
formed, who has had no experience 10 political
life, beyond the petty Squabbles Of party IN this
vicinity, and who certainly cannot carry with
him into Congress that Judgment which is formed

growth of conspicuous services. Mr.. anderson

WASHINGTON, March a.
"Mr. Chief Justice Marshal delivered the o.
Finion of the Court on 442 casks of wine impor-
ted in the ship Sarah"
The opinion Of the Court in this case would be
entitled TO the highest respect, for without doubt
they are good Judges Of tcine !; and if the wine
was as good as the Judges we do not believe
they could find it in their hearts to condemn it,
though it is possible they might make up their
mouths to sentence cask or two to be druwn
and quartered without any other jury than .jort
de Vilo. Between the Bar and the Bench the
points would be well settled agreeably to every
ConytitutiOn.--SaEe1nG Gazette.

PORTLAND. TUESDAY. MARCH 25, 1872

A variety of candidates have been nominated
in the several districts of this State for represen
tatives in the next Congress. We are glad to
find that we have SO many men in the state who
are thought BY the people qualified to discharge
the responsible duties of representative in the
National Legislature. We do not know how
lightly some people may feel this responsibility;
but it certainly is no trifing concern, to take
upon ones self, the defence not only Of the rights
Of the 10000 persons who compose the district
he represents, but also to watch the progress of
public measures, and TO see, that in the multi
plicity of business, which is urged upon every
Congress, that the interests Of the whole commu-
nifty is preserved and that the principles offree
government, and those. institutions, which have
been dearly purchased and vigilantly guarded,
shall be purely transmitted to the millions of be-
ings who are to succeed us in this extensive en-
pire. Are these considerations of trivial impor-
lance Ought rot the persons who are placed
on this watch tower as sentinels, to be men Of
clear vision, Of great reach of mind, of compre-
hensive and enlarged views? Men who can dis
cover the end from the beginning, however
darkly the measure may be obscured by the arts
Of political managers, or the interested policy of
individuals ,
In the next Congress subjects'wll be presented
and urged, which involve questions of great mag
nitude.-The Tariff is one this subject concerns
every member in this community every farm
er and mechanic, as well as every merchant, is
deeply interested in the adjustment Of its princi-
pies. The Bankrupt bill will undoubtedly be
again brought forward. And the several PROPOSE
tons to amend the constitution, in material points,
which were started last session, will probably
again be pressed BY their warm advocates. These
are serious subjects, & to act understandingly up
on them, man shouldcaIry to reconsideration OF
them, mind practised in delberation on ques-
tons of their speculative and complex char
acter. There have been but few occasions, since
tue existence Of this government, when talents,
weight Of character, integrity, and irmness have
been SO much demanded as they will be in the

In this district, the people have two candidates
presented TO them, enc. a man Of great talents,
sound Judgment and unquestioned intcgrity.-A
man whom his political opponents do not hesitate
to entrust with their property, their characters &
their lives; against whom, the person does not
exist, who can cast reproach. This man is

COMMUNICATIONS.

Mr.. SHIRLEr-What is the best mode Of get
ting into the town Treasury, the amount Of mon
ey which is assessed upon its inhabitants, is a
question of considerable interest to the tax paw
ing part of the community. In some places,
have observed, they have found it expedient
to hold out an inducement for prompt paw
ment, by making discount to those who
shall pay within 80 or 60 or a greater number
Of days. The law for the assessment and collec-
ton of taxes, Chapter 1I6 Sec. 81, seems to
contemplate such mode, by giving authority to
towns, TO make an abatement from the bills OF
those who voluntarily pay their taxes within 80,
60 or 100 days.
One good effect of this plan is, that il places
funds In your treasury at the beginning Of the
year, aud enables the town to meet its expences
without embarrassment, and without DELAYING
the persons who are dependent upon its supply
Tor their support. 1t also may induce those tc
pay promptly, who would not otherwise paw al
all, or not without much trouble and difficulty.
Those towns which have adopted this mode.

WARRINGTON, h1aTCh 10.
Salt Water.--A person at Wheeling, Va. has
penetrated rock sesen hundred and ftfgfeet in
search Of salt water. He found vein at the
depth Of 440, but not sufficiently large for his
purpose. He bores by horse power, at one
fourth the usual expense. AT 500 feet he passed
through thin stratum of stone coal. The rock
still presents the same appearance that 1t did
near the surface of the earth.

So much of the following extract taken from

Vice President, we utterly disbelieye. lie has
the ambition to desire it, and the vanity to sup
pose he might be elected; bat in the spirit Of
prophecy we say, that man is on the pinnacle Of
his greatness.
We are glad however to catch this rumour,
for it affords some clue to political operations at
home. Many people among US cannot be made
vet, to believe, that there is strong party a.
mong us in favour Of the election of Mr.. CrGlg-
ford. Now if it is to be consequence OF his
election that Mr.. John Holmes, to rise into the
Vice Presidency, can We doubt that j.. ii. and
his friends will earnestly promote the cause OF
Mr.. Crawford
cit is supposed that Mr.. Clay will be nominated
for President Of the United States, by the Lee
gislature of Louisiana. Langdon Cheyes has
lately been mentioned as candidate for Vice
President, to which we say amen, with all our
heart. Mr.. Holmes, of Maine, il IS said, will be
the candidate for Vice President, TO run with
Mr.. Crawford. 1t is understood that Mr.. Holmes
opposes Mr.. Adams, because HI aCdS once d fedeT-
