/" Hard Times"

Surely the "times are hard" There is, in
many sections Of our country, an unprecedent-
ed scarcity of the "needfui," and a prostration
Of business, in almost all its departments, which
is depressing and discourasing IN the extreme.
Yet there many whose chickering's and sple-
netc complaints excite no emotions of COM
passion in our bosom; they deprccate, what
to them, is no doubt serious evil, as it COM
pels them to carry an empty purse in another
mans pocket, and drives them to another man
table for the viands whcrewith to satisfy the
demands of an empty stomach. anda no: less
empty head Society is at present infested with
host of non producers, who are hanging like
an incubus upon its exhausted carcass, and alb
stractins from its diminished vital current, far
too much for the public good. There is GER
tain class among us who are too proud to work,
and too simple TO live honorably and respecta-
bly, without its rewards. They are to be seen
in all our villages, lettering idly about the
streets, or driving other mems horses, attached
to other mems vehicles, on crrands which have
no other object than the desire to deceive the
public by their pretended hurry and industry,
into belief that they are intently occupied
with very important business, and that they
arc of some consequence to the world from
which they are surrcptitiously deriving their
support. DANDY" is the true appella'ion for
lic disgrace to the human family.

The New Cabinet.

Amidst the various rumors relative TO the
formation and character of Mr. Fillmore s Cab
met, it is now very well settled that Mr.
Webster is to be at the head. This is sig
nificant circumstance and determines, to GER
tainty, the character and policy of the admins
Webster will play ''second-hddle' to Mr..
Fillmore, or any other man-the inference is
fair that the "do-nothing' policy of the late
administration will be repudiated. Our wing
friend of the Tribune, with its allies, who
made such mistake in berating Mr.. Webster,
for his support of the Compromise, must lose
no time in preparing their somerset move
ments, for they are bound to follow the exam
pie of the inimitable Sorrow" in his ''wheelng
about and turning about"-propensities. Mr..
Webster is evidently disposed to relieve them
rs far as he consistently can, and il is possible
that they may get out of their awkward diem
ma without any ''broken necks." The Com
promise will probably be amended Just enough
TO give all an opportunity to come up to its
support, when, with the administration nfu-
ence, we incline to the opinion, it will pass.
The amendment proposed by Senator BRAD
BURY, of our State, is very important one,
and relieves the measure of one of its most OBJ
iectionable features. 1t is well received and
will prove as effective as any other movement,
for the success of the Bill.

The Ilallowell Gazette has the following in
regard to the election of Mr. Hamlin to the U q.

The result has been accomplished after a

Maine is TO be represented in the highest legis-
