Briefly, we want all of the Farmers in Maine, to
remain in the State because we believe they are
better off here than than they would be in the
west. So also we may say in reference to most
professions but if any class of citizens can go

selves, il is perhaps men of the learned profess
sions and neutrality-suspicious. ind mechan
les espccially,-the former will have their hands
full in mending diseased bodies, and the latter,
who will find employment in making and men
ding dwelling places for the settlers. But to a,
ny men in good business Mt home, to all who
can live honorably and comfortably as they are,
as well as to all who have enough ofthis worlds
goods to live either without, or with moderate
labor,-we say earnestly, seriously, and with II
wish to give the sume advice, us we should he
glad TO receive remain ,0here you are, let toelL
enough alone.--Poriland advertiser.
