Our friend VIM. Storer, u. who lately published the
Literary Emporium, the New-H avener, and We think
one or two otherttle papers in New-Haven, has now
sent out specimen number of the Neu. arcn Record
large and tolerably good looking paper-to be evo.
ted to religions, political and miscellaneous nelli-
gence." Mr.. S,orer deserves credit certainly for his
perseverance in establishing newspapers; and in this
case we trust, Notwithstanding believe there is no
great call in New-Haven for additional number Of
papers, that he may be more successful than in his
former efforts.
Troubles in Mainc.-For the last week or two the
papers from Maine have4had good deal to say about
the border troubles between Maine and New Bruins.
wick and tor some time we confess we did not pay
much attention to the subject, presunling that in a
few days every thing would settle down quietly again
But the matter is beginning to assume more impor-
tant Representatives. are actually meditated, and
Maine is ordering out large body of troops and rails
ing large sum Of money to carry on the war; AL
ready has messenger been posted on to Washing
ton to invoke the Intervention of the General Govern
ment. 1t is certainly high time that this vexed ques-
ton boundary between the two governments should
be definitely settled. No blood we believe has vet
been shed, but apprehend there soon may be un-
less the difficulties are settled.
% The steam ship Liverpool reached New. York
on Monday morning from Liverpool in 10 days. She
brings very little news. Parliament had assembled,
and the Queen delivered her speech. Cotton and
grain had rather receded from former prces-in con-
and slight decline. The French Chambers were
dissolved, and new election ordered.
Mr. Pnnter-I am not much in the habit Of putting
my thoughts upon paper, but when / hear 90 much
said about democracy, arisocracy, FEDERALISM and
on, cannot help speaking out. II seems to me that
the best kind of democracy thatwe, the people in this
country, canhave is to have our government admin
stered in the most safe, efficient, and economical
manner. And when the proof comes out as strong as
it has for some time past that every department Of
our government is in the greatest confusion and the
government officers are daily running away with the
public money il is time for the people to look out for
some other persons to ll these important stations
Why what would the people Of your town do If the
Town Treasurer or Collector should squander their
money, or the Seect-men run the town in debt by
bad management or throw the money of the town
into the hands Of some particular friends We all
know what they would d. they would displace them
atonce. And by 80 doing they would show the right
kind Of democracy. It seems to me If the people
would look TO these matters they are, and not have
their eyes blinded by newspapers supported by few
worthless politicians should have an end to these
| troubles r. 80. - A DEMOCRAT,
