pers are still teeming with the disgusting de-
tails Of this disgraceful aff,ir, and seem deter
mined that the public shall be made fully ac-
quainted with the extent 81 the rottenness that
pervades the supper crust'' of cur northern

rusal fsuch transactions, and the press saeml
TO be exeFting itselfto spread it. We expect
they will next descend still lower to the viIes

Some Of the newspapers in the South are
very busy heralding il to the world, that there
was very small vote pOIled in Georgia at the
late election for delegates to the Nashville con-
ventiou, and are endeavoring to argue lroni
that fact that Georgia is opposed to the con-
yention. The fact was that there was no op-
position raised to it, and that circumstances
win well account for the smallvote cast The
history Of all elections shows that the vote is
always small one, when there is no Opposi.
ton to enlist the interest Of the people, is
true that iii some parts oil the State there were
some lew votes cast against it, but the aggrt.
gate vote cast against it, throughout the State
was vastly inferior to that in its favor, and ac-
cording to the same mode Of ratiocination the
opposition to il must be feeble indeed, as they
cast SO small vote against it-sualI even
when compared with that cast for it.

O-The Lexington Advertiser says Il would
have been willing to have gone f5r bic "iriend

but for the determination manifested on the
part Of the Democracy, to settledOwn on some
one democrat by concert, in order to secure his
election; he is now determined to so for Mr.
Quackenboss, q member Of his own party.
Nisalwaysa very easy matter to 6nd some
excuse for not voting for our friends and neigh
hor, when we have'an opportunity supporting
one agreeing with us in political sentiment. No
doubt The Advertiser wOuld hive easily found
some other excuse for not supporting his ''Iriend

eyinced some desire to concentrate on some
one candidate Of their own party. We know
the Editor to be clever and most estimable

CoRREsPoNDENCE.
To the Hon. Daniel Uebster:


The subscribers, inhabitants of the cities and towns
on Kennebec river, though not your immediate con-
stituents, yet, as citizens of our common Republic
cannot refrain from expressing to you the deep sense
OF the obligation which you have conferred upon the
whole country by your recent effort in the Senate OF
the United States to aay the spirit of sectional strife
which threatened the destruction of our Union. No
confederated States either in ancient or modern times
have been preserved from intestine commotion and
civil war;. IL, as some suppose we confederated
States, still we are only exception to the general
rule, and is but short time since that the Slavery
question threatened to bring those evils upon u.s. and
should the South and the North be separated, no hu-
man wisdom could predict the evils that would follow.
We have been induced offer this expression of our
feelings from observing the obloquy upon you by
portion Of the Press in this State The Press may
convey the excited feelings of the moment but those
feelings frequently arise from ardent desire effect
what is deemed great good, irrespective of conse-
quences but we feel confident that rejecting minds
and those which permanently guide public opinion,
will eventually have their influence and that the
patriotism and courage of that Statesman will be gen.
orally acknowledged who, regardless of consequences
TO himself boldly threw himself into the breach, and
brought back his countrymen to feel the invaluable
blessings of the Union, and the duty imposed upon
them for its preservation ....
