A SINGULAR WAY OF RAISING THE WIND.
MORE ANNEXATION.
One or the principal reasons assigned by many of
those people IN Montreal, who favor the Portland
Route is, that Maine will be annexed to Canada, and
consequently, 10 of war between the u. 8. and
England the people of Canada would not be disturb
ed in their communication with the Atlantic by Rail
Road! They say that Maine is specially friendly to
the interests of the Provinces, and wishes for union.
And how did they come by this idea? Not by
Judge PEBBLES public speeches How Them They
say in private he has ncucnted this notion and hence
the idea is entertained and urged by many
reason FOR prererrng the Portland Route. Many Of
the remarks of Judge PrebIc, reported in his public
speechesare unworthy OF an honorable cause If not Of
n high minded man, but this notion Of union Of
Name with the Provinces caps the climax Of his alb
surdes. And Is it true? People Of Montreal Say
so land they did get it from him, whence its
igin? The was, effect, urged by Mr. MoiTat,
memhcr of Parliament from Montreal, in a speech
upon the bin for Rail Road charter, and ono too,
favorable to the Portland project.

RETURN OF THE AGENT.

Mr. FAGRnANxs, the agent Of the d. c. II. S. and
NJ. Il. II. Association to visit Montreal returned last
Thursday evening. AS the charter had been passed
by the Canadian Parliament one day before he
reached tho City there was but little to he done which
cannot be well done for the present through the
columns of the Canadian papers and which is thus
to be done-he tarried there but few days. The
action cr the people Of Boston was too late TO
teract immediately the influence Of the proceedings
of the Maine Deputntion, who had already left when
Mr. +. arrived. This action however, when made
known had an astonishing effect upon public mind
it could no, but have, innsmuch Judge Prebc had
induced tho belief that Boston people favored the
Portland rather than the Concord route, and
mnny had been led to act accordingly considering
the Portland route their main chance for an outlet
to the Atlantic As matters are, however, they point
to route destined to be successful, and since
Boston has walked up, the friends Of the Port
land route confess that ours will be built first
The Charter 1t runs from Montreal via ST. Hy-
acinihe and Shcrbrooke To strike road from Port
land, with branch to strike Vermont any where in
the County of Stanstead, aud one TO Quebec The
Sanstead branch can tap the main line at the ST.
Lawrence opposite 10 Montreal, by which the route
from Stanstead to Montreal is shortened 33 miles
making The distance between the two places only 90
miles 1t is about all that the friends Of The Concord
route need to ask, They only loose by it the inhu-
of the people of Sherbrooke, and the land Com
puny, which together could do than build
half of The 80 miles saved by avoiding Sherbrooke,
and which will he made up probably by nm equal u
mount Of influence and wealth invested in and attach
ed to the shorter route to Montreal The Portland
people have secured no exclusive privileges by the
charter though they sought them, and tho branch is
all we need, and a road IRE shall hare-aRd a road
they rOat hare-at present.
In regard 10 the feasibility of the shorter route 10
Montreal, it is better than the by Sherbrookc,-
be built easier and cheaper. The survey proves
this beyond cavi TO go ahead is all the friends of
the Concord route are now required to do to have
road in due season.

ANNEXATION OF THE STATE OF MAINE.
After all that has been said of Texas and Oregon
and the desire entertained by the people the United
States to enlarge their territory by the acquisition OF
these immense tracts it will surprise many, and add
much to the protocols that will be issued to learn
that tho State Of Maine Disguised with slavery and
reputation, and feeling community OF interests with
those North Of 49, HIS petitioned he. Majesty Queen
Victoria TO admit her to the old family circle of
John Bull, where property is respected and where
there is neither vote by Ballot, Lynch Law, Slavery,
nor Reputation
II is generally surmsed that His Honor Judge
PREnLE is charged with this delicnie mis- sion, and
tina, the Petition will be through Ills Exceency
LORD MErcALFE by the next Steamer, though the
ostensble ground oc Ills Tonors visit Montreal is
the Rail Road Portland and is evdenI that if the
admission is agreed on, and is prompt and medinte,
all the Stock will be subscribed by the
Home Government, and presented to the confed-
Grafton.
Part OF New Hampshire, Vermont, and tina, portion
of New York bordering on the ST. Lawrence, will, it
is thought, follow this iaudable example.

ELECTION OF UNITED STATES SENATOR.
"A Ticory for the Tariff!
Yesterday the two houses Of the Legislature met
in Convention to elect Senator, TO ill the vacancy
occasoned in the Senate of the United States by the
resignation Of the Hon James Buchanan. The Loco
Focos nominated the Hon. George Woodward, orLu-
county, Free Trade man; or in other words,
Polk Tariff man. The Wings deemed it prudent
10 make no nominations; it being out of their power TO
elect candidate Of their own On the first ballot,
they voted for vurors gentlemen fther own party.
The next ballot, number Of them cast their votes
for Gen Simon Cameron, out and out Tariff man;
and pledged, besides, to 60 for distribution Of the
proceeds Of The public lands among the States. On
the fifth ballot, Gen. Cameron was elected: the
Wings voting for him nearly unanimously. A ma
jory Of the Nativesa well sixteen or seven
teen tariff democrats, united with the Wings in effect

We regard the election of Gen. Cameron decid-

guished democrats in the State we might almost say
in the country, remarked, on the announcement of
the resuit"there is no longer Democratic party a"
1t certainly augurs bad for the continued ascendancy
of the pary that there such incoherency in it, that
it cannot be kept together, even by the hope of the
spoils Of office. The Wings deserve the thanks of
the nation. for defeating the election Of George w.
Woodward.

The experience of all ages proves that

hitherto been able to withstand the aerres-

The ldlers of all countries have but one
interest, which is to live in luxury and ease
upon the earnings Of their neighbors.
While the idle consumers have been uni.
ted as one man, in legislative frauds upon
mankind, the misfortune of all ages has
been, that the much abused producers
have been not only Indifferent TO each

enemies; have been dividedin parties nni
