The Portland Argus has discovered new kind
Of rum which threatens the manufacturing estab
lishments IL New England. II says recently;
"There seems 10 he great distress in the factories
at present. but Of The kind the pano-makers pre-
tend, Il Is distress created by press of work
beyond the ability OF the operatives engaged 10 per-
iorm-a distress for grls, and not from failure Of
business" .-..I .. .....
IL adds that agent Of the factories has been up
in Franklin county, Maine, drumming up girls for
the Lowell mills. His commission is one dollar for
every girl he sends on.
The Troy Budget (in this State) supplies, in the
following remarks upon well known and extensive
iron works there, another evidence Of the ruinous
effects Of the "British tariff"
1--WE understand that the Vulcan Works are now
going ahead with much activity. The proprietors
have doubtless learned by little useful experience
the truth OF what we told them some months since,
that the new tariff could not lDjuTe their business.
With the present prices of all descriptions Of iron
abroad, there is no danger Of foreign competition.
We are glad TO sec these works going on, and we
hope they will do successful business"
These works, il will be remembered were among
the very first to stop in the artificial panic manuac
The Proprietors seem to have gotten over their
fright in time TO prevent their business from falling
into other hands.
Alter much backing and filling over the prelimi-
naries, the Tribune and the Courier have got fairly
started ia their controversy about Association, or
Founsrism ID 10 more generally called. The first
chapter appeared in the Tribune yesterday. Il is
close, cogent, well constructed opening. With any
thiog like good case, Greeley Is much more than
match for any OF his fellow-aborers ut the wing
press -evsn for Col. Webb and his strong, sweep
ing, heavy inveetiye.
Hon Geo. Z. Badger appears TO be the wing IA
vorite for Mr.. Haywood's vacated seat in the SEN

very plainly its preference for Gov Morehsad
The official returns in this city make Mr.. Wight's
vote over Young 5,l44 or $40 clear majority over
all opposing candidates. He runs 1900 ahead OF
Judge Gardiner, and |, 400 beyond the highest man
on the same ticket. This seems noble run; and yet
to US here, who know what might have teen DONE
had we had good ticket throughout, it is not half
satisfactory. We think we could have given Wright
a full round 5000 majority over Young, and though
It would not have saved him. it would have pleased
Us better. The total vote is light, ~ 49, or l0092
less than the vote on governor in lS44. Mr.
Wrght's loss is 6,4sS. Youngs il, from Fill
more's vote, s,2l2.

their habit Of running stump candidates.
The execution Of the negro Thomas yeAterday

camness-without nervousness or effort Of any

many hard, Indifferent men, jailors and others,
whose business was among such scenes, but the
prisoner was the only not deeply moved, partic

cut the rope. He himself gave the signal: "Exe-
cutioner, do your ofice!" His last words, uttered
after the fatal cap was over his face, were: "My
wife! good folks, take care Of my wife!" His ad-
dress TO the assembled crowd, when first brought
out, is so CHARACTERISTIC that it may fad place

The accounts from Ireland, after every allowance
