"BANK OR NO BANK"

This Argus, before the election urged up
on the voters of Maine that question to
be decided, was whether we should have
the ascendancy of federalism or a National
Bank
We may on the other hand contend
that the great question Immediately deci-
ded were on the right of the petition
and the sub-trea sury, and that the majority
of the people of Maine have decided that all
petitions to Congress relating 10 slavery
ought TO be laid on the table without heing
read or referred: that the sub-treasury
scheme shall be the true policy of the
country; that the boundary line shall not
be run by Maine, nor any roads made to
our public lands. So far as the re-
suit of the election establishes any thing,
it establishes these principles. We have
no idea that one out of ten of the act
ual majority meant to decide either one or
the other; and a large portion Of this major
ity had no distinct ideas about the matter,
one way or the other, having given them
selves up to the direction of partizan lead
ers, ia the vain belief that they were
supporting the democratic party" and
putting down the "federalists " The fact
is, they have been cheated and humbugged,
and have honestly supported error delusion
and prohigacy. Instead of being discour-
aged at such result, we must take cour-
age from the fact that this delusion is rap
idly passing away in most of the States of
the Union, aud must do so here in the end;
and whether it does or not all good men
must strive continually to diffuse good prin-
ciples and correct information as widely as
lies in their power

It is good on every possible occasion, for
ms Americans to ponder the character Of
this man. We have never seen finer
picture Of Washington's greatness than the
following. 1t appeared in the London
"Conrer," then leading British Govern
ment paper, on the gath January, 1860 II
was at that time cut from the paper. and
has been preserved in family scrap-bool
ever since. If it has been re-publshed IN
more recent days, we have not seen it; but
we are persuaded our readers will own,
even if it has appeared since, it cannot be
revived too frequently. We have no idea
TO whom its authorship is to be ascrbed.-
"The melancholy account of the death of
Gen. Washington was brought by vessel
from Baltimore, which arrived off Dover
Gen. Washington was we believe, in his
6sth year. The height of his person was
about five feet eleven; his chest full, and
his limbs, though rather slender, well sha-
ped and muscular His head was small,
in which respect he resembled the make of
a great number of his countrymep. His
eye was of light grey color; and in pro-
portion to the length of his face, his nose
was long. Mr. Stuart. the eminent portrait
painter, used TO say, they we're features in
his face totally different from what he had
observed in that of any other human being;
the sockets for the eyes for instance, were
larger than what he ever met with before,
and the upper part of his nose broader. All
his features he observed, were indicative of
the strongest PASSIONS; yet like Socrates,
his judgment and great self command have
always made him appear man of differ
ent cast in the eyes Of the world. He al
ways spoke vita great diffidence, and somc-
times hesitated for word but always to
find one particularly well adapted to his
meaning. His language was manly and
expressive. At levee, his discourse with
strangers turned principally upon the sub
ject of America and if they had been
through remarkable places, his conversa-
zion was free and peculiarly interesting, for

electng a Wing Governor last year by
1913 votes, and wing majority in one
branch OF the Legislature, for the first time
since 1926.
Now Gov. Kent has near $4,000 votes,
aud Mr. Fairfield near 10000 1t will be
seen that the wings have thrown about
TEN THOUSAND more votes this year
for Kent than they did for Sprague in 49,
81, when they made hard struggle for the
ascendancy with a very popular candidate,
and near NINE THOUSAND more than they
gave for Kent last year. The natural in
crease of the voters does not amount to one
half of this gain. The balance is made up
ofpersons who have left the jackson party
and become Wings. We shall continue to
make acquisitions from the best men of the
Van Buren, party, while most of the young
men of the country who have stamina, in
telligence, enterprise and patriotic princi-
pies, will grow up to be wings. The reign
of loco-focoism and humbug must have an
end. 1t is rapidly going down every where
else, and must soon go down in Maine.
The 43, 900 Wings of Maine have only to
stand their ground firmly, and each one of
them use his personal influence i'll dissem-
mating truth and exposing error, and they
will soon find themselves an invincible ma

THE SAIL-BOAT AT SEA.


THAT gallant boat with snow-white sail.
Full rugged and trimmed TO breast the gale,
Hath left our own green pleasant shore
To sail the southern pillows DER.
In fancy now ! see her ride
Ger the blue wave, where swiftly glide
Many craft more proudly free,
Yet none more loved, or dear to mo.
Fer the broad sea she gay makes,
Though stormy winds her light sail shakes,
Yet safe she'll skim the topmost wave
Her PROV, and sides the waters lave
The helms-man sits with steady eys
Viewing each crested sea go by;
All fearless he, for well he secs
His boat can stem the tide and b.eeze.
GAN, all alone he steers the bark
Now fleetly on she goes-hut bark!
y he winds shrill tones, he hears them near,
The coming storm, list list tits here.
lie sits prepared the boat to guide
Der foamy surge, and adverse tide;
Nor heeds the wild storms raging power,
His heart grows bold in that lone hour
The gals is weathered--now is fonnd
A haven snfc.--His friends around
All anxious wait the tale to hear,
" hat dangers passed, and what bis cheer.
Then all unmoved, that helm.-man brave
Reeounts hi. pers on the wave
Tells how that buoyant sail-boat lay
In the seas trough, like child at play;
How feet the sea-bird O. er him SCARED,
When loud md wild the storm-wind roared--
Then. that the boat might ride more free
lie cast the anchor in the sea.
Then all alone upon the main,
For days and nights he watched in vain;
And sighed for his FAR, northern home,
Though well he loved the seas 10 roam.

HONESTY REWARDED "A farmer called.
on Fitzwilliam to represent that his crop Of
wheat had been seriously injured in field
adjoining certain wood where his hounds
had during the winter, frequently met to
hunt He stated that the young wheat had
been so cut up and destroyed, that in some
parts he could not hope for any produce.
'sWell my friend" said his Lordship, "I
am aware that we have frequently met in
that field, and we have done considerable
injury, aud if you can procure an estimate
on the loss you have sustained, l will repay
YOU"
The farmer replied that, anticipating his
lordship's consideration. and kindness, he
had requested d friend Is assist him in es-
timating the damage, and thought that as,
the crop had been entirely destroyed, sol
would not more than repay him. The Earl
Immediately gave him the money. As the
harvest. however, approached, the wheat
grew, and in those places Of the field that
we're trampled, the corn was the strongest
and most luxuriant The farmer went again
to his lordship, and being introduced, said:
81 am come, my lord, respecting the
field of wheat adjoining such wood"
His lordship Instantly recollected the
circumstances.
"Well, my friend, did I not allow you
sufficient to renumerate you for your loss"
Eyes, my lord, l have sustained no loss
at all, for where the horses had most cut UP
the land, the crop is tie most promising;
] have therefore brought the sol. back
again.
"Ah'' exclaimed the venerable Earl, ssthis
is what like; this is what it ought to be-
between man and man."
He then entered into conversation with
the farmer, asking some questions about
his family.--how many children he had SC.
His lordship then went into another room.
and returning, presented the farmer a
check for 1901
"Take care oft this, and when your eldest
son is of age, present it to him, and tell
him the occasion that produced it."
