awbireery VS.. Aristocracy."


or;,,s If or;gipal articles have appeared re-
Gently in the Tribune, under the ABOVE OF
.;m;Iar carlton, in which the writer laoors hard
=, show that modern whiggcry has no fellow
shin with aristocracy, but is antagonisuc to 1t
In one of the articles, he deliberately ut'ers
the following The whis cause. rightly I'M
derstood, is the cause of the people against
monsrehics, monopolies and aristocIacies ii
this be tue, then we apprehend the teh'g cause
has not been rightly understood yet, ana we
have watched with interest for some definition
of hisgery from this new light, but IN VAN.
Blu, let us analyze this assertion and see If 1t
is supported by facts The origin OF polucai
parties in our country is traceable to differ
ence of opinion that sprans up among the
statesmen and the people, IN relation to the
rights and capabilities of the people to govern.
Entertaining opinions similar to those enter
tanned before being alienated from the mother
country, many looked with misgivings and dis
trust to the propriety of bestowing full power
upon the people to legislate for themselves
The republican party, with Jefferson and Mad
ison at its head, indicated the rights of the
people 10 the largest liberty, while Hamilton,
Jay and others, sought to impose restrictions
upon them. This was the first monarchical
move of ehisgery. .....
An aristocratic move of whiggery was to i'm
pose the property qualification upon the exercise
this principle is now repudiated by the whig
partys If so, we would refer them. for a refu-
tation of this, to the recent indication in favor
of this principle, by taking sides against the
people of Rhode Island in their attempt to re-
move the barrier to the freedom of the elective
franchise in their State. The entire wing press
were found arraycd against the people, and on
the side of missionaries and monarch.es.
The establishment of great National bank
was an attempt to build up great moneyed ar
istocracy.
In claiming special privileges for certain in
teresis, whisgery has advocated the principle Ct
monopoly, too. The privilege of one branch of
manufacturing interests to have exclusive mar
kets granted them by special enactment, is no
more nor less than species of monopoly. In
deed, who doesn't know that great end and
aim of whig legislation is to secure protection to
particular and private interests-a principle in
volving the worst kind of monopoiising spirit.
The wing party must first repudiate their
old notions so nearly akin to "monarchies. mo-
ropolies, and aristocraces," and show more
evidence of their repentance than they have yet
done, before they can claim that "their cause
is the cause of the people"

- There was one incident which occurred
at the table during the festivities of the day on
the 4th, which, as we omitted to mention it in
our account of the proceedings of the day on
the first page, we give below.
Capt Wright, of the Pulaski Guards, in
concluding his neat and appropriate speech,
said, in substance, Previous to our departure
for Bath, called at the Office of Mayor Bige-
low, (of Boston,) and said to him, Sir, we
are going to Bath, to unite with the citizens Of
that city in celebrating the 4th of July what
shall say TO the Mayor of Bath from you'-
To which Mayor Bigelow replied, Present
Mr.. Morse with copy of my inaugural ad-
dress, with my respects After passing the
copy of the address into the hands of the May
or, Capt. Wright concluded with the toast to
the Mayor of Bath and the Mayor of Boston
which will be found on the first page. The
compliment was responded to in a few eloquent
remarks by Mr.. Morse.
One of the neatest volunteer toasts delivered
on the occasion was given by ''High Private :"
Colby, of the Pulaski Guards, which having
been accidentally mislaid, has not appeared in
the papers which have published the proceed
ings We insert it from memory =
The Ladies Of Bdth-Although upon camp
duty, the arms of the Pulaski Guards are ever
at their service, whether we are required to
present or support.
Mr.. Colby is a son of Governor Colby, Of
New Hampshire, and is a promising young
lawyer, in practice in Boston.

Bartholomew Dioramio Panorama of the
Kennebec.

This truly magnificent work of art, has been
several times alluded to in our sheet. with the
belief that it was merely necessary for the pub
lie to be informed of its exhibition. to ensure to
the enterprising proprietors an ample reward
in providing at large expense scenic view OF
our beautiful Kennebes = and we cannot now
believe that our citizens are so dead to the sub
lime beauties that are displayed all along the
banks of their own noble river, that they are
willing such perfect delineation as is here
presented. should be suffered to leave our city
unseen by every man, woman, and child in
town.
We have said this is one of the finest speci-
mems of artistic skill we have ever witnessed
and the press is not alone. Gentlemen from
abroad, who have witnessed the exhibition Of
nearly all the panoramas in the country, have
pronounced it not only the most beautiful they
have ever seen, but have been more especially
struck with the bold relief with which the hills,
ships, &c., stand out from the canvass.
We have admired Banvard's Panorama of
the Mississippi, and Bayne's voyage to Europe,
but we must award to Mr.. Bartholomew, the
painter of this panorama, preciseness of
perspective, and beauty of ooloring and finish
which are not seen in either of the former.
In addition to the perfect Panoramic repre-
sentaton of the cities, villages. forests, &c., on
the shores of the Kennebec, model of the
steamer Ocean appears in the foreground, with
all her machinery in motion, and the passen-
gers constantly moving about the decks. Ev-
cry thing, even to the motion Of the waves, is
so perfectly like, that the spray appears to
be constantly dashing from the prov and
wheels, and the noise of the engine and the oc-
casional letting off of steam, make the illusion
magically perfect indeed, lady inquired one
evening last week, if the steamboat was not in
the ,oater, for she could not dctermine-she
thought it must be.
The effect of such exhibitions is highly bene
moral and intellectual sensibilities of the soul
naturally creating and strengthening refine
ment of feeling and leading the mind "fron
nature up to natures God" This cannot b,

draw crowded houses, let the price Of admis
sion be what it may and we pity the man
standing in whatever situation in the commu
nifty, who cannot discern the difference, ant
who would discard all patronage of the fin
arts, merely because there are exhibitions tn
tendency of which is questionable in his mind
for such, we are sorry to say, can be fount
among Us.
In view of these considerations, can it be tina
an exhibition, combining so much of real mer
it, got up by our own citizens, will be allowed
to go abroad. and among strangers only receiv
that patronage which it so richly deserves ,
We trow not. We have greatly mistaken tn
character Of the people of Bath, if such shall
prove to be the case.

The Legend OF the niIv-

lhere were once two stars If equal magnitude
who Tor countless years had lrayersed together the
bOundless realms Of space, and eve,y morn and
night sang, as with one voice, their hymn of praise
and thanksgiving. Far beneath them the earth re-
yolVed within 3 orbit, and seemed to the stars as
they gaZed down upon 1t 10 he planet Of great and
WCndrOus beauty.
Long had they watched the changiup saseops
aud marked the varied and beautiful forms =, hicL
Nature takes, until one star onged to leave his
sphere, and dwell! uuuu the earth. Ills twin com
panion saw, with uusI akaHls grief this restless
desire; for she well knew that ii he LETT his naive
place, be could return TO it no more. Tender.y she
reminded him Of the ages they had paased Iu sweet
communion together, of her own utter loneliness
should he leave her, and the fearful doom that
awaited him II he fell from his own sphere his
light would then be quenched in unulterable dark
ness, and his glory departed forever.
The discOntented sIar listened silently: he knew
that his purity would be sulied and his doom ire
Vocabe if he left his native home but the desire
increased within him; his brow paled, and his
harp no more sounded the hymn of alteration and
praise, while he gaZed yeRrningly upon the earth.
AT length there was sadness in the Spheres for the
star had fallen, and his place could be filed no
more forever!
Sorrowiully the deserted star had watched the
downward course Of her lost companion. She saw
him fall 10 the earth and there become q dark un-
slightly thing; the light Of his glory quenched in
the deep waters where he had fallen Sad and lone
ly she came each night, and gazed steadiastly
down upon the stream wherein her lost mate was
buried. Her TENDER earnest beam fell gently upnD
the water, and penetrated even into the depths
where the fallen one now rested in utter darkness
and desOlauon.
Then when the gentle forgivinp raw fell upon
the bosom OF the lost unhappy star, he slowly
lifted his bowed head and turned his dim brow u6-
ward in repenting humility, And still the lone
star shone steadiastly down until cheered by her
encouraging tenderness, and, guided by the faith
ful light, the fallen one raised his head above the
surface OF the stream, while his pae brow turned
