ELECTIONS

MAINE. The whole number of Representatives
now known to be chosen is 171-94 Whgs-V
Van Burenites. 90 constitute majority OF the
whole House. Fourteen districts remain to DO heard
from, from which the Wings calculate to elect five
at least. The Van Buren, party will probably have
a mai ority of the Senate. One of their candidates
appears TO be elected where it was supposed there
was choice, which secures them 13 Of the 20.
The Belfast Journal, Van Buren, paper says
awe have met the enemy, and theirs -

this election they know not how to appreciate VIC

DEPOsITE REPEAL BILL.

By reference TO the proceedings of Congress 1t
will be seen that the bill has been passed withhold
ina from the people the fourth instament, due on
the LIST of October amounting to 100000 of dol
lars The distribution Of this sum would have car
risd partial temporary relief into all sections Of the
country, and saddened the hearts Of many suffer-
ing citizens of this oppressed and pundered nation,
bnt which is now to remain in the hands of the Of
flee holders who neither suffer or care for the sur
ferings of the people. But few months since we
had an ovoraowng treasury, now exhausted ny lhe
populations and courtly extravaganza OF those whose
duty it was to guard it as sacred trust. Inc PuS'
sage of this bill has been effected purely Tor the
benefit of the office holders without regard to the
good of the people, whose interests demanded ana
required that the provisions ofthe law distributing
this nine millions among them should be observed
They expected it. The faith Of the Government
was pledged to them for the sum, and in many
States disposition had already been made OF 1t for
the extension of public improvements and the poor
laborers employed upon these works will be COM
PEELED TO seek the means of subsistence elsewhere,
or, which is probable, be thrown upon the cold
charity of the world. 1t not necessary that
the Government should have this money to assist 1t
in the performance its legitimate functions;-it
was, or is, only needed to MAINTAIN its unbounded
extravaganza. Will the people consent to be plum
dered ?

"rHE PEOPLE ARE COMING"

A recurrence to the late manifestations of popu-
lar sentiment in reference to the measures of the
administration affords cheering evidence to the
friend of FREQ institutions that the people, though
thew may be blinded for a season to their best i'll
teress, awake to the calls of patriotism Light
has broken in upon from the East and West, and
tho.dawn of brighter day opens to our view The
people feel and act Party trammes rent asunder,
and the free spirit OF the American ycomanry, 50
long crushed by the of destruction, or quietly
resting in a mistaken conf dence, is aroused to tho
importance Of the crisis Many who were dispos-
ed to despair of the Republic, and to retire from
the arena of political action, have come forth, and
armed with removed courage, they determined
to redeem the country from the thraldom of official
misrule. The annexed table, exhibiting the chang
es in twelve States where elections have lately
taken place, affords pleasing result The first
column of figures shows tho official state of votes
given for electors last fall and the second column

1t is fact worthy of notice that in most of the
States where the Jackson party maintained the as
tendency the same extravaganza of the public funds
has been practised as has marked the of the
General Government. For eight years previous to
the reign of corruption, prior 1929, in New
Hampshire, the average annual expenses were but
$29, ESQ. For the last eight years the average an
nnal expenses have been $52,50O. Gov. Hill as
well as General Jackson preached and promised re-
form and retrenchment.

greater than tor several years past and the
produced in Maine is supposed to exceed the de-

of produce necessary for the comfort and subsist-

his meal; yet we are not so forclbly struck
with the greater misdeed of him, who wan
tonly, or malicionsly, destroys the happi-
ness of his companion, by abuse or slander.
Now, the proportion fthe offence cannot
be defined, bat the latter is the greater, in
as much as it is more durable, and more
dangerous in its consequences. We
should so conduct ourselves, as to secure
the greatest aggregate for happiness to the
community to which we belong. The
first step towards this result, is behaviour,
suavity of manners, and forbearance of tenn
per. He that diffuses happiness around him,
is rarely miserable. TO spread happiness
around us requires no great act, buta strict
guard over small ones: guard against i'm
proper speaking, sarcasm and repartee.
When by regulating your conduct'properly
you have made yourselves happy, you have
advanced one step in making yourselves
learned, because your minds are fitted to
receive instruction.

TOWNSHIP MEETINGS..

From a call, signed by majority of the
standing committee, and published in this
paper, it will be seen that the democrats of
Columbia will choose delegates on the 9th
inst. to represent them in the 4th of March
convention. The notice seems very limi-
ted; but we sincerely hope that a general
turn out on Saturday next at the Township
meetings may secure an expression of the
sentiments of each individual member, and
that all subsequent proceedings may singly
tend TO unite and harmonize the party, and
eventually crown with success the nomina-
ton of democratic candidate for Cover
nor. Let every township and district be
represented in the county convention.

Chesapeake and Ohio ca,aal.-The Cum
berland Advocate states that the contractors
on the line of the canal, from Cumberland
eastward, are preparing for active opera
tons. The Advocate adds: at is one of
the heaviest undertakings known in the
country, and will require many thousand
labourers in order TO complete it. The
number now employed is computed at about
six thousand, and when the whole line is
under way it is thought the number will be
increased to about $4,000. Average the
wages and board of this number at one dol
lar and % cents each, per day--and the
sum expended per week will be 1922, 500.

D%From the report of the "Union Ag-
riculmral Society's Cattle Show" held at
McEwensville on the Oath uIt. we perceive
that Maj. b. S. WooLvERToN, of Danville,
obtained premium for Burr Mill Stone.
1t is said to be "of very superior consmuc-
ton' highly approved by the committee,
and also by several gentlemen, owners of
mills, who were present." This is quite
complimentary to the skill and enterprise of
the Major; but the patronage he receives
is a stronger proof of the general character
OF his Burr mill stones.

CREDIT.
November, 9TH 1897.

There is much force and propriety in the
following remarks which we copy from the
Providence Morning Courier:
THE thing is all lOrong.-The Josephs,
in New York, it is said, are in debt six and
half million of dollars, and have a nominal
property Of seven. Many other CONNER
cial and manufacturing men in other COM
munities beside the city of New York, have
been bolstered up by banking institutions
in similar manner. We say, that there
exists no reason in the world why these
men should have been bolstered up by
banking institutions, so as to get in debt
six millions of dollars. Better, infinitely
better, would it have been if the same a.
mount of credit had been enjoyed by five
hundred honest traders, mechanics and far
mers, who might wish small sums at differ
ent times, and who would be able to pay
their notes without this great flare up.
This process of building up few over
grown houses, to swallow the small con-
Germs, is not correct, either for the banks
that give credit, or for the community in
which it is given.--Credit should 90 to the
many, and never to the few, as well for
those that give Il as for those that receive.
Will wisdom come by experience!

GOV. WOLF'S LETTER,

This dictatorial and uncaled-for produc-
ton will be found in another column; and
we are pleased to see the universal spirit of
condemnation which attend the notices of
our democratic exchange papers. Gov.
Wolf now holds lucrative office under the
Federal government; and for many other
reasons besides the two term principle,
could not have considered himself in the
field as a candidate. His letter therefore
must have been got up for mere purpose,
unless he still felt the wounds of the fated
contest, and was determined to have SINH
lar scenes enacted in the coming campaign.
1t is moreover meddling from abroad
which the people will not submit to. Let
Pennsylvania alone. Let the Federal Gov
ernment mind its own political affairs.
We felt the effects of high dictation in 1895;
and I'VE are resolved to always exercise
our humble efforts in repelling such spirit,
come from what source it may.
In the approaching contest, we have no
personal predictions. We wish to con-
ciliate and harmonize the whole democratic
party; and we shall consequently support
the regular nominee of the 4th of March
convention, no matter whom he be, having
entire confidence in the capacity of the
representatives of the party, to choose a
suitable candidate. Forgiveness and for
getfulness of the past should now inspire
democrats TO action; and not such trade
of bitterness and threatening as indicates
the feelings of the Ex-Governor against
many who gave him helping hand to OBJ
tain hrs present situation at Washington.
