A good deal has been said lately in the pa

better looking porkers have been slaughtered
this year than can be seen at the provision

A writer in the Portland Argus, signing
himself MAINE" is enraptured with the glo-
rious prospect of the future greatness of Port
land, which is to result from the completion
of the st. Lawrence road, and in the feeling OF
good nature which the prospect gives rise to,
Belfast and Bangor to a share of the prosperi-
ty of that "good time coming;" but Bath
poor Bath-he has condemned to future insig-
nifcance, because she has, as he intimates,
sneered at the mighty doings of the Eastern
Emporium. Of course Bath must feel very
sorry now that it did not give heed to the
mandate issued from the city of Portland, and
desert her sister towns on the river, leaving
them to their fate and contented herself with
building a road to Portland alone, for perhaps
it then might have enjoyed the great privilege
Of pledginy its faith to assist the Portland peo-
pie in completing the railroads which are to
make that city their centre, a privilege of
which no doubt she would gladly have awaited
herself But Notwithstanding the correspond
ent of the Argus has apparently condemned
Bath to future insignifcance, we think her
citizens will contrive to get along, and manage
to get living somehow or other, and if they
cannot, we doubt not, however much the
wrath of certain citizens of Portland may be
kindled against us now, that our Portland
friends, when they are rolling in the wealth
poured into their city by the st. Lawrence
railroad, will be willing to spare us few dol
lars, just to keep us from starving. Seriously,
however, there is no disposition on the part of
Bath to sheer at Portland, or to wish her any
thing else but prosperity; and the writer in
the Argus misrepresents our people when he
intimates that there is. Bath, to he sure,
Judges it to be for her interest to unite with
the towns above her in building the Kennebec
Railroad; but in all the meetings which were
held here, and all the speeches made by our
citizens in reference to this subject, the high
est compliments were paid to- the energy and
enterprise of the citizens of Portland, and not
the least expression of ill-will towards them,
or the least sheer at their enterprise do we
recollect, during the whole of the excitement
on that subject. The correspondent of the
Argus need not fear, however, but Bath in
good time will seize on whatever advantage
nature or circumstance may have given her.
When sic has completed one enterprise, she
will commence another, and we hope that
"Maine'' will not change his tune then and
sneer a: us for doing what he evidently now
considers we are foolish for not doing.

ANOTHER "BARGAIN."

We have not yet seen satisfactory e1plana-
ton of the doinss OF the secret caacu1s OF the
Wing Convention. One account says that their
object was 10 ascertain secretly which was the
strongest candidate, and what States would go
for and what agains! particular nominees. But
this resolution, it is said was laid on The table,
The editor OF The New York Mirror, who is
one OF the initiated in the mysteries Of Taylor
ism, refers 10 "secrel session on the affairs OF
the nation, when The bargain for the Vice Presi-
dant will be made" The same editor writes
thus afeclionately of his Glowing cousins" OF the
Clay faction. Hispicture is doubtless graphic
one:
The Clay men are exceedingly rabid hot and
foaming at the mouth They fight like slags al
bay, o. as drowning man struggles for life
Blu, his chances are dead in the Convention. As
this conviction pressed his friends, they seem on
" to fLd reiefin hurting their indignation against
Gen. Taylor and his friends. The New York
Mirror has to suffer "sone" for having raised, as
a Stree: brawler declared last night, a flag that
has PLACID The devil ,rith The Wig party" think
the Clay men will sulk il out TO The last. as they
every where proclaim that they would rather
sink with 'old Harry" than succeed with cold
Zach" As there is no law against political sui
eide, they will be "down among the dead men"
when The Convention adiourns.
