FOR THE COUNTY POSE.


 MT. SMITH
 Although the eve of another election, 1t seems to excite very little attention. The prevailing apathy is the more to be deplored asn my opinion there is connected with the cotntng election question of more importance than has been before the people since the adoption of the Constitution. have not the least doubt that very large majority of the Electors in favor of dsrictng the state aud in the manner too proposed by the bill which passed the House of Representatives at the last session and if the friends of the bill do not go to sleep under an apprehension that it has few enemies that there is danger of it's success, have fear to the result. The F. ectors ought to be thus early notfed that although very little is said in opposition to the pending bi and although every body professes to be in favor of dis rictng, yet there exists in the midst of us deadly hostility to that measure in any shape that although the friends of csucus dictaton signally defeated and dispersed at the last election ys they intend ma king desperate effort to rally their scattered forces, and to regain their lost power The result the late Senatoria nomination n this county has shown them, that if the people are left to themselves they will al- ways do about right, and that if the present opportu- nty passes by without being restored te public favor. they must retire and be forgotten.
 From what have observed, I am convinced that the ant-dstrict managers will not have the hardhood to come out in opposition to dstrictng in the abstract So decided Is the voice of public opinon in favor of this measure, and so irresistible IS the movement of public sentiment, that he must be bold indeed who would throw himself into the current and endeavor te resist it's But the opposition 1t will show itself by protesting kind of vague and unde6ned con- currence in the opinion that perhaps would be best to district the state at proper time and m proper manner, but this profession will be accompanied with
 hint that such time has not yet arrived, or that the bill before e pabRc will not effect the obectin proper manner.
 hope the Electors will be aware, as trust they are, that with respect to the gentlemen just mentlen- ed the proper time will never come and that presene them with what proposal will to district the state, it wall always be subject their fault-hndng and crit icism No project be devised but that it will with their oppositon and yet they still profess to be friendly to the cause ot dstrlcting. 1t believed that the free and enlightened Electors of hle state will not be deceived in regard to their operations, and that they their pretended good wishes in the cause be what in truth and in fact they are- Uanity an& e He.''
 The people will see that the bill now pending will accomplish the object, manner the least objection able of any which has hitherto been devised 1t was in fact framed reconcile all conflicting Opin ions among the real friends of the in the last Legislature. trust the Electors will to it that individual is elected the assembly whois hostile to the present bW, or whose friendship for 1t IS o dOubtfil character. have fears but that board or senators VIII De elected Wn0 Will OecloeO TlehuS the bill, and it hoped that single word of warn- ing will be sufficient to produce like result in the election of representatives. CAUTION.
 The painful duty devolves upon us of announcing the 1ecease of Major General JACOB BROWN, Commander in Chief of the Army of the United States. He expired his residence in this city yes terday, Feb. 27th after brief illness of three or four days, preceded by general indsposition of lsnger duration.
 His name is too intimately interwoven with the his- tory of his country, make necessary for us to ac- company this annuncation with any reference in his public life services. His individual merits are too universally appreciated 10 need to be hazoued hY the
