JAMES NJ. SMILEY, Editor

Notwithstanding the unparalleled pressure,
which for the last twelve months, has crampcd
and trammclled every depart ment of the Me-
chancal, Agricultural and Commercial COM
munity, the unwearied and interchangeable ener
gies Of American enterprise, are once more
giving evidenceof higher and fairer prospect
before us. That quiescent attribute, which, for
time, seemed to mark and designate our
downward proclivty to carelessness and indf-
ference, has fortunately awakened from its
sluggish apathy; and partially disinthralled
from the fatal influence of too blind credu
llty in the infallblity of those whom we have
elevated above US, may we not still indulge the
hope, that there is yet held in reserve, a hap.
Ply result in the experiment of this last and
once purest Of Republics?
lnstlgated, in part, by that grand revolution
which has already commenced, and which is
still going on. in the opinion of the people, so
far as respects the political relations existing
between the respective States and the FEEDER
to embark in the publication Of the Liberty
Advocate.
Two years ago, this journal dated its origin
at period when, in this County, It had many
diihcuitioe to encounter, and the strongest OPP

as we conceive, orthodox principles, which
have nurtured and sustained the Journal through
"good and through evil report" had then in
their infancy, but a mere minority which sus-
tanned it. But, the resistess march Of human
reason, before whose advance all obstacles
must ultimately recede, has brought about a
brighter and fairer dawn; and the philan-
thropst and the patriot can now look in pro
Spective upon the revisit of those purer days,
which once pointed to the destiny Of our much
beloved country.
The political creed of the Advocate will be
he same which it has heretofore advocated
State Rights and STATE Sovereignty, will be tho
rterial action which shall give life and amin
ton to its political characteristic, while ex'
rcisng a tenocity for those principles which
will never yield to caprice, the columns OF TINS
ournal will, at all times, be open to liberal
and offered as u ready channel to the

MAINE RATTLE SONG.
Come sogers! take your muskets up,
And grasp your faithful rifles;

Come sogers! take your muskets up,
And grasp your faithful rifles;
We're gwoin to lick the red coat men,
Who call US yankee "trifes."
Bring out the big gun made Of brass,
Which forges July thunder;
Bring out the flag of Bennington,
And strike the foe with wonder.
Wen lick the red coats, any how,
And drive them from the border;
The loggers are awake--and all
Await she Gin'ral's order;
Britannia shall NOT rule the MAINE,
Nor shall she rule the water;
They've sung that song full long enough,
Much longer than they oUGHTER.
The Aroostook's right slick stream,
Has nation sights Of woodlands;
And hang the felier that would lose
His footing on such good lands.
And, all along the boundary line,
There's Pasturing for cattle;
But where that line Of boundary is,
We must decide by battle.
We do not care about the land,
But they shan't hook it from us;
Our country, right or wrong, we cry
No budging or compromise.
So--beat the sheepskin---blow the fife,
And march in training order;
Our way is through the wilderness,
And all along the border.

IN consequence of the popularity which GU

10 adopt the same fguratve style used in our

W''e" for more distant voyages, and freighted
her with all sorts of notions in the shape of

which she has met with while coasting nearer
home, we shall doubtless receive rich returns

tended sea on which she is destined to move,
we have put on her many additions and i'm.

been taken out and replaced by new--she has
a greater measurement toreand aft, q greaterI

Notwithstanding the Increased size, the pub

MARINE MUSEUM AT SALEM, MAss.-'Hhe FOL-
lowing is an extract Of letter from Boston TO
the editor orthc Philadelphia Saturday Courier,
dated in 1888:
81 took ride to-day on the new railroad to
Salem, to see the celebrated museum of eastern
curiosties. 1t is a large, splendid and most in
teresting collection. 1t belongs to society
composed of sea-captoins, all Of whom have
doubled either Cape Horn or the Cape of Good
Hope. This is indispensable to membership.
Every member pays 1926 on his admission, and
a certain sum annually afterwards. The
fund thus raised goes to the reierofthe widows
and orphans Of deceased members who may be
in circumstances TO require such assistance
strangers are admitted TO see the museum gra-
tuitously. In these principles Of organization,
and in the mode Of conducting the establish
ment, we see the professional pride and the no.
Bile generosity fthe true tar Yet, consider
ing the excellent use to which the funds of the
society are devoted, think it would be pleas
ure to almost every visitor to pay a small sum
for admission rather than to goin for nothing.nI
