and for the preservation of their dearest inter-
ests, I greatly apprehend. Suchis the force
of party attachment and discipline, that the
true theory of our institutions is inverted IN
practice, and men in office instead OF beng
the servants ofthe people become their dcta-
tors The dictation ola party convention
composed ofmere politicians and partizans,
| is held to be imperative upon every depart
ment of the government, and the representa-
tives ofthe people in the Legislative hall OF the
nation are compelled to bow TO that dictatlon
ut the expense of their Judgments and their
consciences. Recent events have exhibited
this evil in most alarming aspect We have
seen Senators denounced for the conscien-
tious discharge of their high duties in con-
formity with the opinions and wishes of their
immediate constituents, and i'll one instance
Senator driven from seat in which the con-
fidence of his fellow citizens in his capacity
and his integrity had placed him, because he
could not yield his judgment and his con-
science TO the keeping of his leaders, The
tyranny ofa faction, struggling for power, and
eXasperated by opposition, is the worst tyr
amy in the world. 1t rests with the peope
to determine whether they illsubmit to it
whether the great interests of this people

that Attorney Gen. Mason will step into it,

THE "NORTHERN LIGHTS. "

Orleans, Essex and Caledonia--the three
northern Counties of Vermont-the two latter
long looked upon by the locofocos as the very
Gibralters of their party-have this year all G.
lected Wing Senators, and by so doing have
shown their adherence to the principles of Lib
erty and their regard for true national indie
pendence and the best interests of the people
The Wings of these counties have spoken to
Mr. Polk and emphatically told him to stop,and
cease all further prosecution of schemes for
securing slave territory, and for the oppres-
sion of the freemen of the country. They
have been united in their protestation against
the course of the dministration-united we
say-yes, except in some few towns wings
may have voted for the Sd party, and thus
made distinction where there is no difference
in principle, and which we trust they will fully
apprehend, and hereafter, shoulder to shoulder
with the Wings seek the furtherance of liber
ty and good measures of government too.
Then northern Vermont will become free
and send man to Congress who will speal
and act for liberty, and not like her presen
Representative, become mere instrument IL

MAINE. Election, in this State, Sept. Ia
Though the Polk ~ Slavery party will doubt
less carry the State this time, there can be nc
doubt, but in few years, Maine will stand by
the side of Vermont--a free State, sustaining
measures in opposition to slavery and its in
crease, and for the benefit of free labor rather
than for its oppression. Mr. Hale is yet speak
ing in Maine. A letter writer refers rs fol-
lows to recent meeting in Augustus:
"The Hon. John P Hale addressed large
meeting at Augusta, last week, 1t was an in
dependent and manly speech, and did honor to
his head and heart, The meeting was Presd-
ed over by Gen. Joseph Chandler, Democrat
of the old school Permit me to recite an an
ecdote of this gentleman. Loco Foco, who
had more impudence than brains, "a very usu-
al occurrence) asked Gen. Chandler if che
was going over to the Federalists3" He said,
in reply, t'that in olden times, the test of De-
mocracy was the disposition to encourage
home industry, the aoearing Of homemade ap-
pdreL, the protection Of home labor, and those
who were for procuring articles ofclothing and
manufactures from British workshops"

IJTWe are somewhat disappointed in the
small increase of The Sd party vote. We had
been told previously to election that great
increase was expected, and also inferred it
from the braggart limitations of the Freeman.
BY looking over the returns it will be observ-
ed that in many places where the Sd party
vote has been considerable heretofore there has
been falling off, and the increase is mainly
in places where they had before had few
votes, and consequently their gain on the
whole has been small. We suppose the leaders
of this party are more disappointed than we
are. They were deceived, in this way, we
take it, as such things happened within our
observation Locofocos in some towns talked
very favorably before election of the Sd party,
but when they had wheedled as many wings
into it as possible, and got them to leave the
sound abolition ground upon which the wing
party stands, they, these 'occfocos went to the

DRoUGHr IN KENNEREc. For some five
or six weeks past the heavens have been as
brass, no rain ofany consequence during that
time having fallen. In this place many wells
and springs are dry, and the earth is as dry as
powder to the depth of a foot or more below
the surface. Grass is parched and dried up
and the cattle require extra feed in order to
make them "hold their own" Most of the
showers have gone either TO the north or
south of us-the weather has been hot, and
the sun has poured down his fercest rays
Ifthis drought continues much longer, the
shortness of fall feed will serve to enhance
the demand for hay, ofwhich there has been
an abundant crop secured. We are longing
and signing for rain. o for refreshing and a.
bundant showers upon the thirsty earth.

UNREAsoSABLE EXPECTATIONS. The EN-
eter News Letter consoles the enraged "de-
mocracy" of Pennsylvania, by the following
application of well known tale:
They 1.-THE "democracy" aforesaid,) had
three things in view during the contest-the
election of Polk; the election of Dallas; and
the preservation of the Tariff. They could
not expect to win everything They elected
Polk, they elected Dallas, but they lost the
Tariff. Our readers may recollect the story
of the Indians sale of his game to the white
man. The purchaser found the meadows
and the tree-but not the bear. His com
plants were deemed most unreasonable by

truths TO one lie was very well for an lndion!'

il received from the British Minister.
The important fact that Commodore SlOal
had taken possession Oft considerable por

British Admiral on that station, by steamer,
to convenient port on the Pacific; from
thence, by land, to the British Consul at Vera

1t is understood that after Commodore

miral was in great doubts what course he
should pursue-whether he should permit
TO be done or not-for when he had last heard
from home, the relations between his coun-
try and ours were anything but amicable. In
this state of affairs, as tits believed, he has
hurried on the news here to ask advice of Mr.
Pakenham, and of the Governor General Of
Canada. Dispatches, therefore, have been
sent TO the Governor of Canada, and to Eng
land by the last steamer.
Ofcourse, in the present condition of onr
relations with England, and the determine.
ton ofthat country to let us fight it out with
Mexico, the British Admiral in the Pacific
will be advised by Mr. Pakenham and Earl
Cathcart, to let Commodore Sloat have full
