SENATOR WILLIAMS OF MAINE.

PROFESSION rs. PRACTICE.
Mr. Williams, of Me. has received from his Legis
ature, body to whom he owes his station, resolutions
advising him that it ID their will that the Subtre
be repealed When Mr.. w comes to the vote on the
repeal he declines carrying out this expressed WILL be-
cause he is not instructed hop 10 pote! Every
must, of couse be his own judge, in matters Of per-
sonal conduct His own conscience must be his stan
daId Of right and wrong In opinion, however
il IS something worse than "humbuggery" and even
more than boIdness, TO pretend before ones election
to the Senate, that if elected he will be the agent Of
the electors in carrying out their wishes and them
when firmly seated to vote in direct and open defiance
Of that will fully, fairly and literally expressed What
is the meaning Of Instruction. II is the act of teach
ing, of Informing, of directing Of guiding of pro-
yiding or furnishing with knowledge Does an up
right Senator wish than to be furnished with
knowledge of the will Of his people That is suf
hcent instruction, in our opinion for any who is
willing 10 obey the will of his constituents Mr.
Williams Processes TO believe in the doctrine OF in
struction. Bat Mr., Williams is taught, il informed is
instructed that it is the will of the Legislature of
Maine that the Sub-ireasury should be repealed Mr.,
Williams admits the right of the Legislature thus to
indicate course for him to pursue, and yet Mr. VIII
liams votes directly against his instructions and in
favor Of measure which his constituents declare TO
bcobnoxious TO them He avoids his acknowledged
duty and endeavors to shelter himself under petty,
unmanly technicality, before unheard of we venture
to say, in the history of Instructions
Before the election Of Mr.. Williams 10 his present
station, letter was addressed 10 him by several mem
oers OF the Maine Legislature, propounding inquiries
as 10 his opinions upon several topics, and among
others, upon the right Of instruction and the duty Of
obedience His letter in reply, stated his opinion on
this subject, in the following explicit language -
regard the elected as the agent Of the electors
ny the election confidence is leposed in the agent
and he is to act in the absence OF instructions accord
ing TO his best judgment and discretion; when in
srueed he IS to vote the will Of his constituents if he
can conscentiously, If not to resign his trust and
thereby put into the power of those who gave him
power, TO cause their will to be obeyed."
Mr. Williams is technically instructed that it is the
will of his constituents that the sub Treasury should
be repealed but Nh Williams neither " votes the will
of his constituents nor does he resign his trust

OUR EXCHANGES.

Our list OF exchanges is probably larger than that
of any paper in the United Staestco large for profit
if not indeed too expensive TO be borne During the
election liberal in exchanging with all who
applied and our mails have increased to such an ex
tent that cannot find time to open more than half
the papers we receive, Happy we TO see daily
the faces of all our contemporaries, yet we shall be
constrained after the present Congress has rscn
deny ourselves that pleasure 1t will be much more
profitable for to subscribe and pay for such papers
as we may wish, than to continue our present system.
Many of our contemporaries must not, therefore, be
dispeascd if we rctrench cannot, in Justice
to ourselves, afford.

THE 22d OF FEBRUARY.

Yesterday was bright and animated day for this
city Ii Order had presided the proceedings, it
would have been glorious spectacle. As 1t was,
there were thousand things 10 swell the heart of a
patriot, and delight Vrgnian. There 5 or
$3.50 persons called to witness the spectacle Of de-
hvering the nine Swords from the portlco of the cap
tol. The Governors Address very happy, and
part OF 1t very eloquent The replies Of the Officers
who received the swords, those who represented
them, were in the finest spirit. The sword thcm-
selves were exquisite specimens of taste-imaae By
Ames, OF Massachusetts, under the auspices OF the
gallant Iowson, who giaced the whole scene with
his presence. Gen HARRISON was pre- .ent-and so
were all The officers of the Executive and Legislature
whole host OF ctizens--a goody array of military
volunteers including three companies Of dragons
The at ensemble in the porco, and the square be-
meath was sngnlarly striking and brilliant
From the square, the multitude marched down to
the Military Hail. where they partook Of an abundant
collation. Col Muntord presided with great taste.
He gave toasts in honor OF General HARRISON Of the
Vice President, John Tyler, and OF the Governor,
who acknowledged the compliments paid them in short
speeches General Harrison paid tribute TO Virgil

as being ant-S ates-Right, anti Virginian, anti

We wonder if il ever occurs to the editor of
the Enquirer that there are several other States
on this Continent besides Virginia--that there
are resolutions and reports Of other eras, and of
other States--and, above all, that there is on
this Continent United Republic of 20 States,
and three territories, all living and acting under
a written instrument, called the Constitution Of

MYSTERIOUS AND poUBTFr1.,

1t would seem probable, from the following article,
copied from ncghboring journal that the succession
to the British is to be contested Not only is
the ilegillmacy of the infant daughter of the Queen
boldly asserted but her imputed paternity as boldly
announced We are, confess, incrcdulous The
character of the young Queen has hitherto been un-
tainted by the breath Of Islander, and her alleged part
ner IN guilt is whose name is associated in every
mind with the brightest images of pure and romantic
chiAlry. Wetrust there is some mistake in this mat
ter, and yet the known discretion and candor of the
Editor ofthe Gazette, forbids the supposton that he
would, on light grounds, permit his highly respectable
paper to be the vehicle of portenous an accusation
The article is follows:
From the Alexandria Gazette, Dec. 25. 1910
The Acadia brings intelligence of the safe deive
ry OF the Queen of England of daughter Of the eel
ebrated st. JEAN D. ACRE, after bombardment of

"MILITARY COMBINATIONS
MIR. cRlrTENDEN AND GEN. SCOTT.


In the course of his remarks on the expendi-
lures of the Government, delivered by Mr., Crit
tenden in the Senate, the following sentence re-
latve TO the Florida war occurred
The army in one place and the provisions in an
other and tor aught know, suffering for the want
OF them. Is this your military combination r.
The Globe, by intmating that Gen Scott was
responsible for the faults Mr.. Criltenden com
planned of, endeavored 10 torture Mr. Critten-
denis remarks into an attack upon Gen. Scott.
Mr.. Crittenden was induced TO send to that pa
per the following downright denial Of any right
TO put such construction upon his remarks;
TO the Editor efMe Globe
in an editorial article contained in your paper of the
l7h instant am represented having made an sat
tack on General Scott, in speech not long since de-
liyercd by in the Senate of the United States 49,
TO warran, any such construction, my remarks must
have been very lily reported, very much msunder-
stood In none of the culpable circumstances Of the
transactions on which animadvertcd did | suppose
General Scott TO be at all implicated. So far from
making any attack him, the occasion referred
to, did not mention him, had any ausion to
him in word or thought
The friendly relations that have long borne TO that
distinguished and gallant officer render me DESTROYS
TO correct the into which you have fallen and to
that end request that YOU will publish this in your
next paper Yours, SC.

February lS, lS4l
The Globe might have been content with this
disclaimer. 1t chose, however, to pursue its
malicious purposes, and to make additional COM
ments intended still to make Gen. Scott, If pos
sible, responsible for the miserable mismanage-
ment of an eight years war in Florida, where
Gen. Scott had neither lot or part, for more than
one or two seasons. All theimprovdence COM
planned Of, the want Of Skill the accumulation
Of provisions, the "mitary combinations &c.
are now for the first time attempted to be thrown
off the War Department upon General Scott!
The source of these false and malignant accu-
sations cannot be disguised. The same military
combinations which have directed the ineffcc-
tual war against the savages, are directing now
We do not intend to defend Gen. Scott. He
does not need our defence If his assailants
meet with no greater success in their war upon
him than they do in their war upon the Indians,
he will never feel nor fear their attacks.
We will only add that, if these "military
combinations" which have proven so unsuccess-
full in Florida should ever become the subjects
of investigation, we trust another military
combination" not far from the purlieus of the
War Department in this city, will not escape
due attention.

The bill TO confirm these lands TO the State of

and has probably received the signature OF the

through the House, we observed, that Messrs.
Rariden, Profit, and Lane, manifested that in
