The folly and sAorl-sighledness Of political
partisanship was displayed by the friends Of Mr..
Van Buren, in conducting the Gubernatorial
campaign which Las just closed in Maine.
The State Convention which assembled in jane
last, selected as candidate for Governor The Hon.
Hugh ]. Anderson, his acknowledged intimate
political and personal friend That was well
enough, aud it they had had The discretion TO
have stopped there, we should not have been
obliged 10 mourn over such defeat as that we
have just experienced. But, elted with un
ooked-tor success, they Introduced and forced
through the Convention, against the most ear
nest and respectful remonstrances Of very
large minority, a string OF resolutions highly lau-
daio-y of Mr. Van Buren,, and as highly con
demnaory Of another prominent Democratic
candidate for the Presidency, and thus clearly
dentifed the cause Of MIR. Anderson with that
of the great defeated Of 1910. This movement
has resulted, as was feared and anticipated by
he more reasonable of the Democratic party
with a Democratic majority of thousands we
have failed to elect our Governor, and have UNI
fortunately exposed the State to the grasp Of the
wings, who are ever ready TO profit by our fault
and lolli,s. Our only chance now to ho.d the
reins another year, is to secure ID mocralic
Legislature, who will give US a Democratic
Governor of some sort.
1t is proper to state that most of the leading
Democrats opposed 10 Mr.. Van Buren,, voted
for Mr.. Anderson, under the acknowledged OBJ
legation 10 support regular nominations But
he great body OF the party practically renounced
for and all allegiance to "King Caucus" that
they might distinctly negative the report thai
Maine was Van Buren, State, ard prevent his
friends from claiming Democratic triumph as
heir triumph The truth is that the mass of
the Democracy are opposed to the reelection of
MIR. Van Buren. Democratic Tennessee and
Democratic Maine have both been lost under hi
lead In voice, which trust will not be un-
needed by The Baltimore Convention they have
proclaimed that they will not again "have this
man to rule over them" MAINE.

Colonel Zabrske urged that II right and pro
per that at this time and in this large assemblage Of
The Democracy Of the Fourth District, the names oil
all the Democratic candidates be named. MIR. -,
sail that the reason he Offered the amendment there
was one name ,iz that of JoHN TYLER, that was
obnoxious TO thu Democratic party, and that the Dem
ocrats of this District could rot acknowledge him as
a Democrat. Try IT, try itm responded from every
part of The house, while the multitude seemed indg-
nant and many inquired Z" what ass is that so igno-
rant of the feelings of the Democracy towards one
that has done much for the party, for the Consti
tuition, and for the country.
Colonel Zabriskie arose, and said, that inasmuch
as the reasons above given the objections to The
resolution, he hoped The motion the amendment
would be put to the Convention. The motion was
then put the amendment, whena full, heavy hearty
response of NO was the answer And when re-
yersed, four voices were heard to say YES The
amendment was lost The motion was then put on
the resolution and most hearty and full response
given, in lis favor; and on the question being re-
versed, the solitary voice OF the mover Of the amend
ment was heard to say o. 1t was then announced
that Captain X. f. STOCKTON was present, as one OF
the Democracy OF New Jersey. Ii was, on motion,
resolved that the Captain be requested TO address the
Convention. He came forward amid the cheers OF
the assembly although some four or five, that were
in the clique TO oppose the resolutions bit their lips
and muttered out slight opposition
The Captain defined his position and principles,
and gave what he considered democracy, namely
| soveregn-that those who were elected by the peo-
pie should carry Out the wishes of majority of their
constituenis-that all men were born free and equal
| and that no Infringement should be made upon the
rights and liberties of men; and consequently he
went for the largest liberty of the elective franchise
and against any other qualification for Office than
capacity, and character establishing the fullest con-
hdence in the virtue, honesty, patriotism, and inte
gritty of any person who might aspire to any station
in the gift Of the American people, and that no pro-
| perry qualification should stand in lbe way of any
! freeman, either for an office to Vote. The Cap
tain said " go against U. S Bank and gave
many good and substantial reasons why he OPP
posed to National Bank for, said he, ITS desoating
track is from the Pacific to the Atlantic ocean
and from the ST. Lawrence TO the Gulf Of Mexico
| and the wang Of widows and orphans is heard il
every city and village throughout this wide spread
country; and whole families have been hurled from
ailuence to the depths of poverty and distress LIS
track was like that of comet approaching the earth
or mighty cataract breaking from its bounds and
spreading devastation and death through its entire
course.

AVAILABILITY.

The late election in Tennessee furnishes a
60 I'd illustration of the importance OF the position
held by President Tyler and his friends. In oAe
of The Senatorial Districts, composed OF four
counties. a fIien Of the Administration was
run by the Republican party against the Clay
candidate In the four counties, composing the
district the majority for Jones over Polk was 500
whereas the Clay candidate for the Senate beat
the Administration candidate only 80 votes. This
statement we find in the Knoxville Argus, a
journal favorable to Mr.. Van Buren,. And we
think all rejecting men will agree with Us II
the opinion that, if an Administration candidate
Tor Governor had been run against Gov. Jones
the State would never nave fallen into the hands
of Mr.. Clay.
The election of Mr.. Wise, of Virginia, fur
nshes another illustration. Certainly no candi
date for Congress in any State opposed the poll
iical pretensions Of Mr.. Clay more boldly thar
Mr. w. did during the canvass. And yet W.
are absolutely certain, that no other Republican
living, being unfriendly TO the Administration
could have prevailed against the Clay candi-
date.
And so ii may be with the Presidential con-
test 1t may turn out that no Republican but
Mr.. TYLER can unite all the anti-Bank men
against Mr.. Clay--should he be the candidate.
An anti Bank man must be elected at all ha-
Yards" alive or dead'

STABBING IN THE RAILROAD CAR

About one O'Clock on Thursday morning. while the
train Of the Buffalo and Alca railroad from the east
was about ten miles from this city, an insane man,
who was in charge Of his uncle (the mes we have
not learned in the seconl class of cars which was
crowded and without light, commenced cutting and
sashng around him with a knife, other sharp
instrument. Three persons injured, one OF
whom. LEWIS JAoN was stabbed through the arm
and into his side, when he sprang from the cars,
which were under full Roadway, and was followed by
the insane man and his keeper. The train was stop
ped and JAoN taken in, but the other two could not
be found. Among the wounded was, DR.. j. II MAT
THEws, of gainesville, Ohio, who had been TO Sara
toga Springs Tor his health in company with his wife.
He received severe cash IN J. is right side, the
fifth rib, which, however did not penetrate into the
chest. Dr. NJ. is now at the Buffalo Hotel" under
the charge OF DIR. WmcOX. Ills wounds arc severe,
but not dangerous.
The person who had the insane man in charge,
came into the city yesterday Thursday morning,
but had been unable TO hnd the unatic. We learn
that when he entered the cars he had also gun in
his possession but that the conductor Of the train
not informed of his insanity. But the person
who had him la charge is highly deserving of cen
sure for placing an armed mad man in crowded cars,
and with UGH weapons.
BY the way, we would suggest the propriety Of the
Railroad Companies keeping lights in all their cars
second well first class The convenience,
comfort and safety Of the great number of passenger
which patronIze these roads, should be taken into
consideration.

DEAF AND DUMB.--A friend Of ours some lime
since handed us a scrap Of old newspaper, nearly
worn out from which with difficulty we extract the
following sketch Of an examination held at the Deaf
and Dumb Institution in London, of the children in
their knowledge of the divine truth:
A little boy was asked in writing, " Who made
the world -
lie took the chalk and wrot. underneath the
question,
In the beginning God created the heaven and the
earth"
The clergyman then inquired in a similar manner,
"Why did Jesus Christ come into the worldin
a smile Of delight and gratitude rested on the
countenance of the little fellow, as he wrote,
This is faithful saying and worthy of all aecep-
taton that Jesus Christ into the world to save
sinners"
A third was then proposed evidently adapted TO
call his most powerful feelings into exercise
Why were you born deaf and dumb when | can
hear and speak ]"
"Ncyer," said an eye witness. " shall forget the
look of resignation which sat on his counenance as
he took up the chalk and wrote,

sight "-Licking Val. Rig

some weeks SINCE in relation to the course of Presi
dent Tyler, should he not receive solitary vote for

Why, should his fellow citizens not require
his services, (and no man ever rendered his
country more valuable services )-should he not,
indeed, receive solitary vote"-we presume,
