COMFY THIS YEAR.

Our opponents are really set OF
Philosophers. They keep their courage
up by hoping against hope, and content
themselves with dwelling upon some fond
anticipation. After the September cleo
tons of last year, they stoutly denied that
Parks was defeated; for while this was
the order ofthe day--but after the returns
had como in, it was then shouted, from
Kitery to Calais, that there was no choice
and that Kent could not be Governor of
Maine. After the Legislature had a
majority, it was alleged that there were
illegal returns which they could dodge
behind and save themselves, and they
gravely asked leave of the Supreme Court
to it. When they found that woaldn t
do---they then comlorted themselves with
the idea that it was ''only for one year. !"
There was no change at all in public senti-
ment. There was not Wings enough in
Maine to do any thing
That there was more on their side than
ever before since the world began, only
they had been asleep, and did Mt get fairly
walked up till the elections were over,---
but another time we shall all be on hand.
It's only one year-you'lI die at the end of
the year-isthe half complacent half whim-
perlng cry, as the disconfitted leaders trying
to rally their spirits, and rouse up the
courage of their Responding followers.
Only one year 1t looks like it, does it.;
Ask the Wings of Lincoln if they are to
exist only one year. Ask the rcdee med
and disenthralled State of Connecticut if
she has embraced principles which will
stand the test of ''only one years. trial.
Ask the Wings of New ork if it is ''only
for one year" that true Wing principles
keep the ascendancy. And ask the Wings
of Maine if their principles are of such
gourd like growth, that the destructive
worm of Loco-focoism, even though it
gnaw stealihily and darkly at the root, can
destroy it in one year; No. The principles
which have been disseminated by the Wings
of the Union, are based on the immutable
foundation of truth---they cannot be shaken.
They are the fruits and the effects of long
f, experience---andt the clouds Of selfshness
may obscure for while, or the whirlwind
ofpassion may shake them for a moment ;
but truth is mighty and will prevalent has
prevailed, and every year will see it in
creasing in strength and in beauty.

comfort from the senseless cry of ssonly ont

Dr. Barlow of New York, advertises a
chronological lecture in Troy, which must
be exceedingly edifying to old bachelors.
The notice runs thus:-'In this lecture, he
will first show the innatcness of the social
nature of man; that he was designed for
marriage-that he violates the laws of
God not to marry. Second the influence
of the present system Of education on
marriage. Third, he will show the Phre-
biological doctrine on the subject, aud state
and illustrate those Combinations Of cere-
bral organs, which make happy ,riues and
husbands, and happy home. Mr.. B. hopes
it is unnecessary for him TO state, that he
will treat this subject philosophically.'

PORTRAITS. BY an advertisement in an
other column, the reader will perceive,
that Mr. Finch has taken room near DIR
Wilkinson's, directly over Mr. Gannett's
shoe store, where he is in readiness to
wait upon the Ladies and Gentlemen of
this town.
We have seen some of this gentleman
work, in the course of our observation and
do not hesitate to say that he thoroughly
understands his business.--He has some
few specimens now with him; among 9TH
ers, we noticed one representing the brave
Commodore Tucker, which is very cor
rect and striking indeed.
This is favorable opportunity, and
those of our friends who wish to be 'hand-
ed down to posteiity" had better call, while
they have leisure.

PRosPEcT FOR CEoPs.-The growing
crop of wheat in the surrounding country
looks finely, far better than many years
past at this season; but the long continu-
ance ofcool, dry weather, has much re-

the corn from coming up well. AS for

BETS. The best soil for beets is a rich
sandy loan, but they will grow on any soil
if proper care be taken to prepare the
ground. Manure well with long stable or
compost manure, plough deeply and tho
roughly, pulverize the ground by frequent
harrowings. Plant thinly in drill from
one to one and half foot wide; as soon
as the plants are about three inches high
thin them out to The distance of about one
foot apart. The ground must be stirred
through the season, kept loose, and no
weeds permitted 10 choke the growing
roots.
They should be planted from about the
middle of May till the beginning of June,
for fall crop, and must be taken up early
in November To keep them after taking
them out of the ground, they should have
their tops trimmed off and be laid away in
dry state, in dry cellar where they will
be secure from the frost. If kept in the
dark so much the better. In this way they
will keep sound during the entire winter
