where now stand, to take upon me the rospon.
sibilities of high and honorable Office the du-
ties OF which felt inadequate to perform. The
year has passed away, and with it, the deep feel
ing ofanxiety with which it commenced. Wheth-
er the duties of the office have been performed
well or III, is not for me to settles but this can
truly say, meet the close with cheerful heart,
and what is better, with an approving conscience
before God. The sentiments and principles |
have advanced, are now matter of record. II
had opportunity, | would not change or oblit-
crate single sentence what Is written is writ
tcn-and there let it remain for ali time to come.
" In performing the last duty of the Office |
have 10 introduce the Hon. Jared w. Williams,
Governor elect, whose superior talents, early ed
ucatioD, and professional life will enable him to
sustain the high dignity of the office better than
any man of ordinary advantages"
A SAD Story OF QUEEN. A London cor
respondent Of the National Intelligencer says
there are "strange matters passing in Madrid, |
but how can we relate them? How translate
into decent language stories which ere not so ?"
The young Queen is charged with having |
suffered her affections to stray in favor Of
a young officer, Gen. Serrano; she wished to
place hun at the head of a new administration.
This, however, she has been defeated in. The |
King objects TO the irregularities Of his wife, and
Jointly with the Ministry used his endeavors to
Vceroyalty of Navarro.
This arrangement the Queen refused to agree
TO; a scene Of unusual violence is said TO have
taken place at the palace, leading TO a meeting
Of the Ministers, and decision that Serrano
should instantly start for Pampeluna or leave the
country entirely The thing most to be dreaded
is, that in the present state of affairs in Spain,
means may be taken to remoue the Queen, and
that her sister the Duchess of Montpensier

the Spanish throne, reviving all the old discus
sions about the balance of power, the breach of
the treaty of Utrecht, and other really non essen
tia Pigments, but which too often prove the piv-
OTIS upon which the peace Of the world is made
to hang"
o. The new anti-slavery paper TO be estab-
llshed in Louisville, KY, is to be called the Er-
dminer. Ii is TO be edited by John C. Vaughn,
a native Of South Carolina, formerly of the Gin
cinnati Gazette, and conductor of c. NJ. Clay's
paper, after that gentleman went to Mexico.
CIvILIzATIoN.-The native population of La
haina, Sandwich Islands, in January, 1916, was
3l45. Rev. Mr. Baldwin supposes that "about
five hundred native families eat at the table in
the style of civilization, and prepare their food
after the manner of Europeans"
o. The intolerant spirit of the New Hamp-
shire Radical Loco Focos is having its good eff
feet in uniting all the true friends of liberty and
good government in that State Alta convention
Of Wings, recently holden for the Portsmouth
Congressional District, Amos Tuck, of Exeter |
the Independent and Liberty candidate for Con-
gress, was nominated with almost entire unanm-
ity on the first ballot This augurs well for the |
good cause and we hope it will exert a good in
fuence in Gen. Wilson's District. If the friends
of Mr.. Preston will follow the example so nobly
given by the Wings of Mr.. Tuck's District, by
uniting with the friends Of Gen. Wilson, a most
glorious triumph awaits them. Already are the
Radical presses sounding the alarm. They al
ready see their doom, their complete overthrow
in the united voices of the enemies of Polk and
Slavery"
The election for Congress in the two vacant
Districts takes place on the 9Th July, when we
hope to announce that Wilson and Tuck are G.
lected. The progress OF truth is onward

MORE RuIN-Tbe stock of the Manchester
Mills sold in Boston, on Wednesday, at Seuenty-
one per cent. premium. That is that which cost
81, sold for 81 7l.--.NeW Hampshire Patriot.
The above is fair sample of the nature Of the
kind of information diffused by The radical organ
among its brethren in New Hampshire. So far
from their being any truth in this statement, the
sales which the Patriot processes 10 give, instead
of premium, show large discount upon the
original cost The stock was sold for II per
cent. on the QOllar-d discount vi ~, iuotSau VI
a premium OF H. as the Patriot alleges. This
result is Immediately attributable to the impolitic
and unjust tariff law Of lS46, by which the nee
cssary aid and protection was taken away from
the manufacture of moussene de lanes, when
that manufacture was in its Infancy, and strug'
Cling for existence.-.4Hds.
~ The editor of the Vermont Democrat de-
scribes Democracy having zone foot on the
Aleghanies and the other on the Rocky Noun
tans." This beats Santa Anna himself, who,
lust at present, has one foot in illinois and the 9TH
er some where near the city of Mexico.

~ Mr.. Polk in his speech at Baltimore, said
he would not again be candidate for the office
which he now holds. This is the first evidence
Mr. Polk has given of real desire to carry out
the will of the people.
"To what party does the term Fed best ap

"Why, to your party, to be sure" said the Wing
"for all that you care about is to be fed at the

LOUD WARNTN1.-lt is well known that
stage drivers are too much in the habit of leav
ing their horses united, when they design to stop
only for few minutes at the public houses
This is wholly wrong. A few nights since, a
driver from Hanover 10 Haverhill, N. H., as one
nt the passengers states, drove up 10 tavern III
Bradford village, VI, tucked his rens in the har
ness of one of the horses, and went in; leaving
some half dozen passengers in and on the stage.
Che horses directly moved along. -Four students
from Dartmouth were on the outside. The a.
larm which they gave, together with their noise
in springing off, started the horses into quicker
pace. The driver ran out to stop them, but found
At impossible. A lady, and her two children, who
were inside were obliged to remain, in constant
danger Of death, while the horses furiously ran
more than a mile turning one corner at nearly a
right angle. AT length they entered the covered
bridge over the Connecticut at Piernont, where
in the profound darkness the leaders veered lit
lie from the true direction, and one of them dash
ed his head against timber, and falling instantly
dead, brought the frlghtful course OF himself and
fellows to quick termination. No PERSONS life
was lost or limbs broken. But who would con-
sent, for any pecuniary consideration TO be placed,
or to have any member oil his family placed in
so terrible situation as that lady and children
were? Surely, men TO whom we commit The safe
keeping of our lives, should be emnently care
tul and trustworthy. The commences of this
careless practice Of leaving stage horses uncon-
fined, is an urgent reason why all passengers
should insist on q correction OF fault so mex
